The Wise Guy Wisdom of the Trump Revolution

[longknife]

Ya really gotta love this piece! Straight out of the best crime novel ever written. The hard core prosecutor goes after a bunch of wise guys. All playing out right before our eyes today.

During the 1980s—the heyday of the flamboyant, headline-grabbing New York mafioso, including Carmine “The Snake” Persico, Tony “Ducks” Corallo, and Vinny “The Chin” Gigante—an ambitious federal prosecutor named Rudy Giuliani made his bones sending wise guys to lock-up on Rikers Island, and sometimes (when the witnesses survived and didn’t lose their memories) federal prison.

While everything seems dire, it can all be summed up with this:

Trump’s age, his impulsiveness, and the virulence and tenacity of his enemies (who still hold enormous power) all make the future precarious. But we may be encouraged by a line from The Godfather’s Don Corleone: “Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment.” Trump still seems to be having fun, while his adversaries are becoming increasingly unhinged as their grip on power becomes more desperate. This is dangerous, in the same way that trapped yet vicious animal is a danger; and yet it’s also encouraging. The side that keeps its humor will most likely keep its wits.

Every little bit matters, because . . . it’s gonna be close.

When you look close the FBI doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation outside of Hollywood fiction that passes for history in the minds of today's pop culture educated generation.The G-Men got pretty good publicity back in the 30's chasing colorful gangsters but they also were pretty much the private intelligence network for Hoover's blackmail and political extortion ring for decades. The FBI's crime lab scandal should have been cause to re-examine the operation but even the high profile arrest of FBI traitor Robert Hanssen wasn't cause for alarm . FBI agents led the (illegal) assault on Ruby Ridge and then they went on to bigger things by driving military tanks in an assault on a quirky religious cult in Waco Texas. No big deal when 80 men women and children are killed by poison gas and tanks during a democrat administration. What do you do when the FBI leadership breaks the law and violates the Constitution like a freaking 3rd world gestapo agency? Mostly you rely on the media to uncover the illegal activity in the federal government and demand justice but what happens when the media is part of the conspiracy? In that case you can pretty much kiss the Constitution goodbye.

Please spare me your faux concern over the Constitution. It suffered a terrible blow in January of 2017 with Flynn on the phone to Russia during the inauguration speech. However, I take it you will be happy when Trump declares laws and law enforcement to be conspiracy agencies against him and establishes a Praetorian Guard sworn to personal loyalty. And Gina Haspel can 'correct' any objectors. He is already floating the idea of an 8 year presidency which I suspect is an effort to soften you up for when he announces a "President for Life" like the role models he admires (Erdogan/Xi) have done. And who needs Hanssen when Putin has Trump?

The idiot trump is coming apart as his known associates are indicted one by one.

Having fun, he is not, as the truth about his corruption comes to light to all but his mindless conservative minions. They remain, as always, in their alternate reality, swallowing all the alternative facts they are fed.

Ah yes...the snowflake citing "Occupy Democrats" thinks that OTHERS swallow alternative facts!

Anyone who thinks that Trump is "corrupt" but the Clinton's were not is so laughably stupid it's not even funny! What are you going to do when the progressive wing of the Democratic Party fails to listen to what the American people think is important and doesn't take back the House...the Senate...or the Oval Office? Post more nonsense like this?

Let's start with the Chrysler bailout. The Obama Administration reordered how creditors should be paid...basically rewriting our rule of law without going through Congress to do so.

Then there was ObamaCare. The Obama Administration continually changed what was in the ACA without going through Congress to do so in an attempt to make it "legal" in the eyes of the Supreme Court!

Then there was the targeting of political opponents with the IRS.

There is the appointment of 3 members to the Labor Relations Board during what the President claimed was a Congressional recess but in fact Congress was still meeting in "pro forma" session. Those appointments were later deemed illegal by unanimous Supreme Court vote!

Or there was his use of the EPA to regulate pollution setting mandatory levels something the Supreme Court once again over turned.

Oh and let's not forget his targeting of Reporters for wiretaps to ferret out leaks in his Administration!

The Obama Justice Department holds the rather dubious record of having over 50 unanimous decisions by the Supreme Court go against them...half again as much as the next closest administration!

and then 'fast and furious' obama , holder gun running to 'mexico' . And i hear that a couple border patrol where murdered by the guns that mrobama sent to 'mexico' Candy .

Old Style, I asked and you answered. Thank you. Sorry I wasn't aware of the Chrysler rewrite so I have no idea if it was a good or bad idea. I favored the act you call Obamacare, even though I was not a participant, and always knew tweaks would be necessary. Making it legal in the eyes of SCOTUS is not a bad thing. And lets not forget that Republicans actually contributed some 65 amendments before doing an 'about face' to keep within the McConnell Mission Statement issued on Day One to not allow any legislation that could possibly maybe sorta favor Obama, even if it did help out under-insured Americans. Targeting political opponents is an iffy partisan accusation. It seems to me that targeting political opponents who are scamming on their obligations as citizens is also not a bad thing. What was the result of that issue? And Targets ALWAYS claim victimhood that 'they was framed' just like the old Capone news item cites, and try to divert. EPA? Don Blankenship gave EPA the finger for years, and owned judges so it is said, and 29 men died. When was it that a slag heap slid into the Tennessee River and polluted streams and creeks for miles, killing crops and farm animals that depended on them? During Bush I think. Of course, there is no data on how many lives, young and old, have been shortened by dumping chemicals into the air. Targeting reporters is a new one for me. Again, thank you for a discussion of views rather than the spit-speckled foam-flecked inane rant of those who cannot pinpoint the source of their angst so they just toss out bumper sticker epithets. You are a gem.

And how'd that work out for the corleones? I would agree Trump behaves like a fancified Mafioso, and that's why Mueller really bugs him. Literally.
