Another Sunday night with must see TV. Come compares Trump to a mafia crime boss. This comes on the heels of the raid on Trump attorney Cohen and we all now know that you can do that when the attorney is in on the crime. I think Tom Hagen did a far better job for his exclusive client that Cohen is doing.

This should be one interesting interview.
 
It sounds like it.

No doubt the usual suspects will declare it's all lies that the vast liberal conspiracy made him tell; that there's no way that the thing in the WH that reeks like a festering pile of **** does so because it is in fact a festering pile of ****. Yadda yadda.

Yup. He's likely been mobbed up with the Russian mafia for decades, cleaning hot cash for them, and he's run the WH exactly as he's run his own 'empire' in his third-rate, bumble**** wiseguy manner.

Look at the clowns he's surrounded himself with, starting with Cohen: all image, all for show, all roar and zero bite when they come face to face with real power and competence.

And while that is quite apparent to you and I , you have to wonder when the dark clouds will part and the light of truth shines through for the Republicans in Congress?

When that happens, Republicans will be standing in the shade.

as they used to say in the stock yards while gazing across the Trinity River, "all hat & no cattle"


and while we're at it; the fact that the GOP actually had the unmitigated gall to nominate such an abomination & then elect said abomination is a pretty good reason IMO to forever ban the GOP from America.

Trump is the crime boss. Cohen is his consigliere. They are giving America an offer it can't refuse.

Interesting, indeed.

Wow, such sensationalism, labeling the POTUS a "mafia crime boss". What a sales pitch! The dummies will tune in and buy his book like a bunch of robots!

It certainly was an offer the American people should have refused.

On the other hand, the American people did refuse the deal..... it was the elitist Electoral College that took it.

Comey lost credibility some time ago, so he might as well rave on.

Pity it triggers you and others so severely.

There are a substantial number of valid comparisons to Trump and a mob boss, and he has a long history of mob connections.

But don't let reality get in your way.

The worst ones are those who never get the book but will mouth off about how bad it is.

You may want to reserve your space in that line.

The man does not have to be correct about EVERYTHING to be correct about some things and this could well be one of them based on the events of Monday.

How is giving some voters three to four times the power compared to other voters fair?

Because otherwise the big states would run roughshod over the small states. It's a safeguard against the tyranny of the majority. Hillary should have worked harder in the swing states where she lost by small margins. She thought they were safe and they weren't.

Where are you getting this from? Hamilton says nothing about such modern excuses when he explained why the EC was going to work in Federalist 68. And it failed to do even that.
 
Comey might express his opinion of Trump now, but since both candidates were under investigation during the 2016 hustings, Comey only broke the code to publicise one of them.
 
Nobody but nobody is going to like my take on Comey. But I don't care because I am just dead dog tired of the endless BS storm that this country has turned into from stem to stern.

Comey has been taken to task from both ends of the political spectrum. Donkey Donaid who had the audacity today to call out Rod Rosenstein for "The Letter" that he himself made Rosenstein come up with has ridden Comey from pillar to post. Trump ultimately so irked by Comey claimed to have fired him over the Russia investigation stepping on a land mine in the process.

The dems in their infinite or I should say very finite wisdom pounded Comey for publicly announcing the reopening of the HRC email case and the subsequent and utterly dense announcement closing it again. Both sides have claimed him to be politically biased, prejudiced and as odd as it might seem equally so from both sides just to point out how much of a mess we have become.

The fact is, FBI agents are simply not politically astute operators. They are not politically engaged to the level that both sides want to accuse them of being. Comey was likely a fine FBI agent and director. He certainly enjoyed the respect of the rank and file agents. But he was sort of a political blockhead which is not unusual for FBI agents. They just don't have time for this nonsense.

They understand politics through the lens of a guy trying to make a case and that is it for them.

Want proof? Look at the number of former FBI agents that have made a decent career in Politics. We have Congressman Michael Rogers, probably the most successful of them to date. Michael Grimm who served one term and gone. There is Robert Turkavage running first time for retiring Lobiando's seat in NJ and I swear there was an ex-agent that ran and won one term from Pennsylvania or N. Carolina that I just cannot find. I am beginning to think he is a figment of my imagination. I know there was one guy from Connecticut that got his doors blown off never to be seen nor heard from again. Thats it.

These guys all have law degrees which is usually a good stepping stone to a career in politics if somebody wants it.

We have pharmacists, doctors, businessmen, businesswomen, farmers, cattlemen, teachers, scientists, soldiers, astronauts an absolute absurdity of lawyers but we don't have much in the way of FBI agents. Its just not in their strike zone. So we should stop attaching all of these false motives to these guys.

Comey IMO simply got caught out of his depth and thinking that if he did not announce the HRC email case, the agency reputation would be damaged. held accountable for the results of an election. Then once he made that original mistake he thought he had to then announce that the case had been completed and closed, said announcement made in his own mind to make up for the original announcement that he never should have made. He is a nice guy. But he is a political blockhead. I would bet most of them if honest about it would admit to being political blockheads.

So honestly we should just stop with this nonsense of calling these guys out and making Putin's day for him. These guys protect us from terrorists. Anybody gets close to Donald and there is a backfire from a nearby vehicle, Corporal Bone Spurs is going to be jumping under an SS agent's trench coat.
 
Has Trump taken this as a compliment yet? I have heard him talking about his high regard for the GodFather we will assume movies because he was never exactly a reader.

Go back to his early years...Trump is still the same guy:

Cohn, with his bravado, reckless opportunism, legal pyrotechnics, and serial fabrication, became a fitting mentor for the young real-estate scion. And as Trump’s first major project, the Grand Hyatt, was set to open, he was already involved in multiple controversies. He was warring with the city about tax abatements and other concessions. He had hoodwinked his very own partner, Hyatt chief Jay Pritzker, by changing a term in a deal when Pritzker was unreachable—on a trip to Nepal. In 1980, while erecting what would become Trump Tower, he antagonized a range of arts patrons and city officials when his team demolished the Art Deco friezes decorating the 1929 building. Vilified in the headlines—and by the Establishment—Trump offered a response that was pure Roy Cohn: “Who cares?” he said. “Let’s say that I had given that junk to the Met. They would have just put them in their basement.”

For author Sam Roberts, the essence of Cohn’s influence on Trump was the triad: “Roy was a master of situational immorality . . . . He worked with a three-dimensional strategy, which was: 1. Never settle, never surrender. 2. Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately. 3. No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat.” As columnist Liz Smith once observed, “Donald lost his moral compass when he made an alliance with Roy Cohn.
