Those calls came after numerous media outlets reported potentially identifying biographical information about the woman, including her job and the neighborhood she called home. Fox News Jesse Watters highlighted the juror’s details while reading through public pool notes about the selected members. “This nurse scares me if I’m Trump,” Watters said.

      At least the mob generally has something that halfway kind of sort of a little bit resembles lines they won’t cross.

          Were they really though? Like outside out the quick joke people make about mafia vs government were they really that competent? I feel like people have romanticized the mafia a little bit, like historically that doesn’t seem accurate.

        You have to remember that Guliani went after the Italian mob when he was mayor of NYC. But he did not go after the Russian mob. This created a power vacuum that the Russians were happy to fill. So, when we are talking about the GOP, we’re talking the Russian mob, not the Italian one. The former does not have many lines they won’t cross.

          Fat Tony without even a fraction of hesitation. It’s actually difficult for me to think of many people, real or fictional, I’d choose Trump over. I’d rather have Skeletor.

          I mean, Fat Tony actually cares for his people. If everyone were his people, he might actually be a real good guy…

                  but its not. a lot if criminals ive met were good people. none of the politicians ive met (mostly house and state level) didn’t immediately trip every single alarm in my head.

                    Yakuza is fiction. The characters are not realistic. No I don’t think criminals are constant evil or some other binary view of a human being. Though unlike the games I don’t know each of them individually like I do the yakuza protagonists.

          Shut your God damn month. If I’ve learned anything from Trump it is ‘ask and you shall revieve.’
