Everything is gonna be okay

Lil Pete says he’s found Jesus and he promised not to drink on the job. That’s all we can ask. OTH, Lil MS Bondi got her an attitude.

Those nominated have brought this upon themselves. If they had any integrity they would not have been nominated. Trump doesn’t want any of his people to have integrity. He will ban it from the White House. ON DAY ONE. Any one entering the White House must check their integrity at the gate.

1. They work in a crime syndicate for a mob boss.

They know what that means.

3. The parallels to mob rukle are stunning.

If you saw the movie "Donnie Brasco", it's based on real life.

Joe Pistone, the real life "Donnie Brasco" wrote about his experiences.

In a chapter entitled "The Way of the Wiseguy," he spells out the "rules".

The Mob Movie Goodfellas Tells Us Everything We Need to Know About Trump’s Universe

Henry begins the film by telling us, “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States.” Trump is what happens when you try to have it both ways.

...

Goodfellas nailed Trump’s type down to a T. Even if you believe wealth and power and strength are inherently admirable (they’re not), Goodfellas portrays the cheapest, shoddiest versions of those glories—the Trumpian versions, as it were.

4. It is not a loose parallel. The Trump family is a crime syndicate.

I mean literally, not metaphorically.

2. Exactly this:

If they had any integrity they would not have been nominated. Trump doesn’t want any of his people to have integrity.

Remember the first term? The people he got rid of the fastest were the few cabinet members who had enough integrity to 1. criticize Trump's plans 2. threaten to resign 3. just by their presence they made Trump uncomfortable precisely because they knew history, were highly intelligent, or cautioned against some action Trump wanted to take.

I also think that is why he shuns our allies. He only wants strongmen on the same level as himself--not reputable world leaders like we see in the UK, France, Germany, Japan, Canada, etc... He doesn't want to risk the scrutiny of people with high standards and moral compasses. It's just too embarrassing. And the strongmen all look out for each other and don't criticize each other.
