Are you denying that Trump had connections into the Mob? If so, do you think that's OK? Maybe go back and read it again and give me your answer? I didn't quite get your take on it.

When I saw "mob" I thought it would be about the Clintons. I have seen them referred to as a crime family: Hillary Clinton & Bill Clinton and also a "mob": The Clinton Mob - Criminal Empire of Bill and Hillary Clinton

So, I guess you would have to look at the power behind each candidate to decide who would have the strongest ties. Which party is responsible for excessive violence, tampering in the primaries, etc. to decide who may or may not really be connected to winning an election using criminal methods.

How many threads have there been so far, 10 now?
Would you please post the links to the 10 threads.

I did a quick check, though there have been several threads about the "Clinton mafia," I could find only three about Trump's mafia connections, including one from last year.

Two others were from this past spring about Trump's relationship with Felix Sater who pleaded guilty to racketeering in a fraud scheme involving the Genovese and Bonanno crime families.

I'd be glad to bump those up if you'd like.

Might be insightful discussions to be had given that next month Trump will be testifying in court in a racketeering case involving fraud.

You must have more time on your hands than I do :-) I doubted that statement but usually I don't bother to fact check anything the cultists say. Had not heard about the racketeering case, I will have to go check that out.

‘He Brutalized For You’ - POLITICO Magazine

He was a member of the John Birch Society and a principal figure in the Western Goals Foundation, "a private intelligence dissemination network active on the right-wing in the United States. It was wound up in 1986, when the Tower Commission revealed it had been part of Oliver North's Iran–Contra funding network."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn

Cohn represented Trump in legal battles, introduced Trump to New York power brokers, money men and socialites, and taught Trump "how to exploit power and instill fear through a simple formula: attack, counterattack and never apologize."

"Trump has used such tactics more aggressively than any other candidate in recent memory, demeaning opponents, insulting minorities and women, and whipping up anger among his supporters."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/inves...65c_story.html
I remember when Roy Cohn died--I lived in NYC.

He was so detested for his scumbag activities, that not only did people not care--they thought it was deserved karma.

Well, it's never too late to learn about these things is it?

You might like this link it's from Fox News on this topic, as well as other Trump nefarious connections. Maybe you missed it the first time, re-posting it here:

Fox News reporting on this, that's crazy. Maybe the Clintons hacked Fox News and planted the article? How do you explain this?

I never heard of him before Donald Trump decided to run for President. But everything I have found scares the crap out of me. That guy was truly evil. More than anything else that I have learned about Trump, the fact that he admired Cohn so much is the most disturbing, and reveals the most about Trump's character.

What's your point? If we had the Internet back then we would probably not have elected Kennedy either, if was shown that he had strong ties to the Mob. You can't get by with that these days, fortunately.
