I'm sure they have at least as much realization, knowledge and understanding about this as you do StarfishSaver May 2019 #5
I hope so. I caught on late - thinking rules, laws, honor still mattered - not in a mobster's world. AnotherMother4Peace May 2019 #7

Must be rough to be so incomplete a human, if one can call Trump that.

the problem is that key elements of our "justice" system is now a part of that crime syndicate, as is a key part of the impeachment/removal process.

so it's more a matter of what to do about it when the official defenses are broken....

"Good economy" isn't a defense to foreign interference collaboration. Sorry. Plus, the economy ISNT ok. And just saying it over and over isnt going to make it so.

first thing I thought of is that the mob bribes the cops and owns the judges - direct parallel.
They also hire a cadre of lawyers to tie things up in court while they go about their business of fleecing the flock - direct parallel.

Don Corleone had a daughter who was his princess who was married to a no good bum - parallel.
