Is anyone else getting the sense that the entire trump administration is a old style Mob outfit?

[Augiedog]

Republicans seem very reluctant to do their job when it comes to this administration and I can't help but wonder if they have been threatened with "sleeping with the fishes" kind of warning.

tRumps attorney looks exactly like someone Hollywood casting dragged out of storage and put on the stage to say, " my client is totally vindicated" and you had better accept that or else.

Sessions looks like a Consigliere way out of his depth and surprised that anyone even knows who he is outside of his KKK groupies.

Pence is the guy hiding behind the curtains hoping nobody notices him cause if they do, he is toast. He seems the perfect sacrificial fall guy sort with that who me? Thousand inch stare his eyes have.

And Paul " let'm eat cake" Ryan is the guy who has to find and clean all the mattresses when it's time bunker up.

I predict popcorn sales skyrocketing as this whole thing picks up steam.

1. I think it's Russian style syndicate

2. And Fredo's leading the family...

[madaboutharry]

3. Exactly

Trump is running the White House just like a mob boss.

4. Got it, had it, posting of it for months now.

[sharedvalues]

5. Yup. Read Josh Marshall Edblog over last year

6. this is how trump ran his business and depended on threats, bullying and manipulation

to make his profits. So what is happening as president is no surprise, at least to me its not. Every one in the NYC finance/real estate world knew all there is to know about trump, scumbag con man

[Drahthaardogs]

7. No.

It's nothing like La Cosa Nostra, Ndrangheta, nor the Camorra .

So stop with the Italian slurs because it sucks

[doc03]

8. It"s like the Startrec episode at the

planet controled by the mob.

9. Not Old Style

More of the Gotti era where they got too bold and too stupid and started getting shut down. They pinned a fake rap on Luciano and got Capone on taxes and that did NOTHING to slow down the outfit in the 30's and 40's. Nothing. Those guys were smart enough to have a structure where one person targeted by the cops didn't cause the whole operation to go sideways.

10. That's exactly what they are.

And they are holding all of us hostage
as they destroy everything we hold dear

11. He watched the sopranos

and now he thinks he's Tony. He's not smart enough, but as a narcissist, he can't see it.

[Solly Mack]

12. I think the "old style" cosa nostra would have offed Trump before now.

Trump runs with the competition. He's not made and never could be. And he has a big mouth.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. No. Their suits had much better tailoring. NT
