When movies come to life: The Godfather II

There is that scene where Frankie Pentageli (Frankie Five Angelas) is called to testify before a House of Representatives organized crime committee, against Michael Corleone. Tom Hagen and some soldiers get Pentangeli's brother from Sicily. He speaks no English and has only the vaguest idea what is going on. On the day Frankie is to testify, there in the audience is the brother, looking confused and somewhat frightened.

Pentangeli sees him, understands the subtext, and forgets everything he was expected to say.

Michael walks.

That was the movie. In real life, there is Michael Cohen's father-in-law . . . . . . .

How can this continue from Jabba The Orange?

Our country is, literally, being wrecked inch by inch by foot by foot by yard, by yard, by mile by mile . . . .

by (in the pocket) Russian sympathizers in the Congress, thugs in WH namely Miller, Mulvaney, Pompeo, and Mnuchin, Bannon who is on the European front spewing his Leninist views. They have no use for the law or our national security.

And then there are us, some of us are aware and we know some are not, what did we used to call them "sheep", now its "cult 45" or "red hats" just believing in the propaganda machine that keeps on spewing over and over the same talking points. Our media is another thing, some are trying to bring the truth and facts to us, we know who they are. But they (the trump regime) just for their filthy greed are hurting a lot of people and this will spread to others.
