I so agree. I have been for years comparing Trump to a mob boss - it is key to understanding how he operates. Youngstown, Ohio is my hometown. I know what it is like to be in a town that is run by the mob. Everyone is on the take - judges, prosecutors, union bosses, elected - and the citizens are robbed blind. If they pave the road - you don't get the 2 inch cover - that other inch goes into their pocket - and in their driveways. Corruption and pay to play rules the day. Even the churches are involved. What is does is shut down innovation and progress. And party doesn't matter - and neither does messaging - you are killed on your porch - that is the message sent. Democrats ruled in that day.

Awesome work as usual, thanks for everything you do! It’s disappointing that most of the rich elites would be fine with living surrounded by open squalor. It’s just a realization I’ve come to…. I guess it was naïveté on my part to feel that at some level, deep down, they weren’t that evil. It’s good to know what we’re up against.

Trump is a throw away paper cup to the mob. Sure now as president or co president… whatever 🙄… he can carry water. But I don’t even think he has mobster stars and dollar signs in his eyes. I think he knows that he’s a goner when the cup is empty. Overall, he’s an expensive liability. That’s maybe what they have on him since we know he cannot be shamed.

I wouldn’t know anything about that. It just seems to me that a boss gets a certain level of respect and carries themselves with it too. That seems the opposite here, especially the way Putin and Elon treat him and his deference towards them.

Ventriloquist Mogilovich prolly put a gun to Donnie’s head in the 1990’s. Douchebag has to do EVERYTHING Vlad wants to pay back his own rapist DEBT. … & ELMO’s MAGAt DODGE is very convenient for the Gremlin & the rest of their fellow Khomeni 4SS terrorists to skirt Western SANCTIONS while the Russian Mafiya is at it.

Thank you... and suggest George Lakoff's "Don't think Elephant". Great insight into how worldview shapes political "beliefs" that become physical, neural circuits in brains. Using "their words/phrases" strengthens this circuitry - even if we are presenting facts that criticize it.

Very helpful

Putin’s Rapist Pet is just a lowly Russian Mafiya MULE … snitch has to tap dance for the Gremlin while Theil launders the dirty money to help Vlad skirt sanctions. Believe it!

After the Democrats just blatantly handed the nation over, I don’t see them helping much. It’s on us.
