We need Elliot right now. During the reign of mob rule, crime families, Murder, Inc. Elliot brought down Al Capone in the most mundane of ways…tax evasion. And it seems as though our favorite hustler, er President, may be facing the same fate. His believers will find DJT tantalizingly mischievous, but the prosecutors in New York will find him guilty of tax fraud and evasion. Oh what a tangled web.

This of course makes the rat trapped that much more dangerous. His ex lawyer and fixer has told us what DJT will do to delegitimize the election and we should take Cohen deadly serious. Even us average Americans can see that president for life is a better deal than life in prison.

The Republicans are betting on DJT. A problem gambler only wants to stay in action, win or lose. At some point losing will become a tragic misstep which must be mitigated by acquiring more funds. The goal is to keep the mule in play so the game continues. So any talk of Republicans acting with integrity or acting in the interests of the country or democracy are simply misguided.

And his devoted believers? Well they think that all the privileges DJT enjoys will somehow trickle down to them. They, like the Republicans in office, are totally invested in the illusion of the DJT supremacy. When the smoke clears, many will be sacrificed and none will be spared.

And if you like your revenge served cold, you should hope that somehow justice will prevail.

Stay strong. Plan your vote.
