Not even an intimidating crime family. It's full of weirdos and idiots.

Like a remake of The Godfather but all the characters are played by Larry The Cable Guy and that guy with the racist puppets, Jeff Dunham.

Back in the day, there was a New York Mafia family that realized they were second stringers at best. They weren't tough enough to take over gambling, prostitution, narcotics, or any of the other big money deals. Then they realized that everybody needs their garbage picked up. No one was willing to stick their neck out and fight over a garbage route, so they soon had a monopoly on garbage pickups in all five boroughs. The point is, if you're willing to do evil, eventually you'll find a way to make money at it.

You might as well refer to the Kardashian as a crime family. Donald Trump represents the fusion of reality television and spectator politics -- of course sycophants show up, how else are they supposed to get air time?

No.

I guess you're trying to be funny, but Trump really has killed people. Worse, they were our own folks. Besides turning his back on our allies the Kurds, its' pretty obvious he sold out agents in the field.

It's like a shit One Piece pirate crew.

At least some of the bad pirate crews were competent sometimes. Most of them can at least sail from point A to point B.
