It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is essentially acting as a massive criminal enterprise. It lies, steals, extorts and murders — all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state. It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame.

Notable because this is a right-wing news outlet suddenly saying what was considered so far left that mainstream news would not say it.

    Yes, Trump is a criminal. But it’s important to point out that he’s a second rate criminal.

    Trump has been tied to the NY Mafia since his early days. You don’t put up buildings in Manhattan or casinos in New Jersey without ‘connections.’

    The thing is, which mobsters was he dealing with on a day to day basis? Do you think a Michael Corleone, or even a Tony Montana, is going to spend time with a loud mouth fool like Donnie? Someone who can’t be trusted to keep their mouth shut? No, the big bosses sent their disposable stooges, and that’s who Trump learned from.

    A real boss would have extorted $50 billion from the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016. Trump is Fredo, is every sense of the word.
