running a protection racket on the nation as we speak. He's "burning it down" unless we shell out what he wants.
His "tax relief legislation," was that the "bust out?" Or is there more to come?
We're two years into a coast-to-coast grift and there's no sign that enough people care to really put an end to it.

I've been watching it off and on for the past few days and one of the things that struck me today is Hesh in one episode saying how Tony had changed recently, as part of the final season; then ghostwriter Tony Schwarz on Ari right after saying that drumpf had always been screwed up but he got much worse after being elected. I made a connection there between the two.

We have a con man SOB who illegally got in and is ruining this country.

If not familiar with the show, Davey is the guy on the phone at the start of this:

(6,535 posts)When in reality he was just being taken advantage of by smarter, tougher people. I find it to be roughly analogous...my main point being, the U.S. is basically being busted out by organized crime.
