How does it feel, America, to be ruled by the Mafia...?

...government by gangster...both at home--Dolt45--and abroad...his good buddy Vladimir. At this point, anything is possible. I don't ever want to hear the term "conspiracy theory" used as a pejorative, ever again.

When we stop hailing people with money as if that makes them something they are not... Then we won't glorify the gangster.

Those of us who knows ethics and dignity and a value sense of quality character... are not impressed by gangsters, we are repulsed at the vile they'll do to worship the God of Money they worship. Only the people who "lust for money" are those who are accepting of Trump... and those who are vain enough to forsake their dignity for fear of his money, are the ones he will continue to trample.

The people with more money than Trump, he does not dare mess with them, he only mess with people who has less money than he does, because he knows they will kiss his butt, with some vain hope that he will help them get some more money.

Trump would not dare say anything to Warren Buffett, or Bill Gates, these people can buy him 100 times over, and he knows it.
People with a few million dollars, who are desperate for acknowledge by someone with more money, often times suck up and put up with anythings, because they stand in awe of his money, even when they can't stand the man he is.

At some point,one of these people will value their dignity and Integrity more, and then we will find one who will not only stand up but speak up, and they will talk.

Trump is a Gangster, and has been for decades, One day, maybe someone will even expose the bodies his gangster style has buried.

A low level developer like Trump and his bankruptcies has been in bed with the Mafia and Money Washing system for a long time, and one can bet, not only is there Russian Money and Russian Mobsters propping him up, it is also the people in the world of Drug money that has made its way to propping up Trump and his Children.

Even Manifort, he's scared as heck, because he knows if he talks, the Russian Mob will be after him, as well as the Trump Gangster network, so Manifort is a man on a thin wire, in the midst of a strong blowing wind. He will never be able to cover the distance of the wire he's own. He's like a Dead Man Walking.

Flynn tries to get out while he could...by "agreeing to talk" but even he will only talk so much, because he knows he's sold his soul into the gangster system... and the consequences are real.

Republican are silent, because Trump and the Gangster Network, has dirt on all of them...some are ducking out, some are refusing to run against, trying to save themselves, and others are "yes men", because they have too much dirt that will bury them, so they sacrifice their public dignity and demonstrate a lack of integrity, as a means to try and salvage, their pay day.
