RICO


Last night's presidential debate was a bit of a food fight ... with Donald Trump finally throwing a blueberry pie right in the face of his smirking opponent. I won't reprise all the various crimes that Trump laid at Hellary Clinton's feet, but his threat, if he is elected, to have his AG appoint a special prosecutor to address all these swept-under-the-rug crimes ... hidden thanks to Obummer's Justice Dept and his FBI ... was all I really needed to consider Trump the victor.

Matter of fact, I would love it if Trump would expand on this threat and say that this investigation would include the entire Clinton crime family. Say, ask Rudy Giuliani, as a special prosecutor, to pursue the Clinton Foundation under the RICO statutes ... just like he eviscerated the New York mafia back in the 1980s. Unlike Trump, I don't just want to see Hellary behind bars ... I would like to see the whole Clinton posse in orange jump suits. Let's clean these "charitable" Aegean Stables and send a message to all future politicians hoping to duplicate this sinister scam.

George, you fail to see that this was another of Trump's achilles heels. Threatening to put your political opponent in jail is what dictators of third-world countries do, not in America. This was not his victory lap, it might be his final downfall. That's all people are talking about today. How you see otherwise is baffling.

A lot of people believe that we already are or fast becoming a third-world country ...

A lot of people are saying it so it must be true... The USA is the origins of the term first-word -- developed, capitalist, industrial countries. The actual conditions of third-world countries are hugely unlike America. These "people" need to visit the heart of Africa or Asia or Central America to experience real poverty, misery, disease, squalor, and crime.

I think the reference applies more to crony capitalism and tinpot dictatorships ... not to the availability of toilet paper.

ChillFin said...

Interesting choice of words:
o crony capitalism = an economic and political system dominated by privately owned, capitalist or financial undertakings that are dependent on the revolving door between themselves and publically held offices to secure the regulatory, taxwise, and prosecutorial leeway, such as financial subsidies, bailouts, settlements and special rubber stamped legislation, from those office holders to let the undertakings profitably weather their own misdeeds, mistakes, and outright crimes, as well as unlucky or unfriendly free-market conditions
o Tinpot dictatorship = An autocratic ruler with little political credibility, but with self-delusions of grandeur.

Donald would NEVER do the former even though is the very definition of the latter.

George W. Potts said...

He might turn out to be the latter. I hope not ... but Obummer definitely is ... and so will she. But, as far as I can see, his dealings with out gov't has benefitted our gov't more than is standard.

If he truly believed the things Hillary is accused of, why isn't he afraid of getting whacked?

He does wear a bullet-proof vest ... and I would suggest that he not travel to Little Rock.
