The Sheriff's phone was on Do Not Disturb, in a major flood zone, with a monster storm underway.

One of the major uses for unions was to give mobsters a steady paycheck. Every Union working on a big civil construction project would inflate their budgets by a few extra men, and those jobs would go to mobsters.

There were two types of jobs. In the first type, the guy had to show up to the job site, but he didn't have to work. Union guys from the old days can tell you about the 3 or 4 guys who did nothing but play cards all day. These jobs went to the lower level workers, often younger, just so they would have a "normal" looking life, and a regular paycheck.

The second type were "ghost" jobs, where the workers never even showed up. These went to the higher level guys, who might hold multiple ghost jobs simultaneously.

Then they would also steer contracts to mobbed-up suppliers, with inferior products, shorted orders, bribes, etc.

Hound him until the day he dies. Investigate EVERYTHING, leave no stone unturned, and charge him with every single count he ever violated. Then stack the sentences on top of each other. Hopefully, it's only about 18 months for each sentence, so that he has to switch prisons every year or two, so he can never get settled in. Unless they just want to toss him in the deepest dungeon in the new 30,000 bed facility he's building in Guantanamo right now. Let him be housed in his own prison.

The facility is comprised of tents, in a gator and snake infested swamp in southern Florida, one of the most active hurricane regions on the planet. The first hurricane or tropical storm that comes through there is going to destroy that place, and put those people at mortal risk.

I used to work in management for a Fortune 100 company, and they'd send people around for little afternoon management seminars on one thing or another (usually sexual harassment stuff).

One day, one of the visitors mentioned that money wasn't even in the top 5 reasons that people work, and tried to move on from that, but I stopped them, and made them repeat it, and then said "Well that's not true at all. It's literally the ONLY reason ANYONE goes to work."

They tried to argue it, but I just said "If it's a Payday Friday, and the boss doesn't hand out the paychecks, and tells everyone that there won't be any future paychecks, but they'll see everyone on Monday, the boss will walk into an empty office on Monday. Nobody works for any reason other than a paycheck "

And that was a great job, that almost everybody reading this would enthusiastically grab without thinking twice, but nobody is going to do it for free.

Every Christian knows that Jesus' miracle with the loaves and fishes was just a mistranslation, and it really read Wings and Fries in the original Aramaic. So Jesus would approve of going to Hooters.

Carry on.

By any objective measure, he is the most prolific traitor in American history. He is a worse Traitor than ALL other American traitors COMBINED. The damage he has done to America is incalculable, and possibly irreparable.

Traitor should ALWAYS come first

Sure, but they believe it, and it would be productive to sow doubt in their ranks, and make them defend it.
