It was fine to do backroom deals in smoky rooms with State's AGs looking the other way at practices that were borderline illegal...and stiffing your contractors and employees because you're lawyered out the wazoo and can just bleed them dry until they cut their losses.

That's kid stuff.

Now they're in the big leagues, and if they are too stupid to figure out that Russia plays for keeps, then they deserve everything they get. They are lightweights. Little Jared is in way over his head. And Donny Two Scoops still thinks he's playing on a game show. We're not playing at "Godfather: the Reality Show." This is for keeps.

Fucking idiots.
