of otherwise nonpolitical Americans pay attention and learn how our government is supposed to work. Crash course in civics. They're getting involved, and for all the right reason.

(53,791 posts)It's like he thought if he loyally did trump's bidding he would eventually hire him into the administration.
He's not so smart though. I don't know what happened to him, maybe it's his age and he's not as sharp as before, but some of the stuff he was doing was so obviously illegal and he was blabbing it to anyone who would listen.
It's like when he was still married to Donna Hanover years ago in NYC with her living in the Gracie Mansion and he was openly flaunting his other woman by walking down 5th Avenue with her. Not too smart as he probably had to pay an arm, a leg and a testicle in alimony for that little public stunt. Maybe he wasn't so smart then either.
