    I’ve read a lot of crime novels. The funny thing is that, even a few years ago, the crooks would go to great lengths to appear to be legitimate.

    I really don’t understand the logic here. Like yeah, Trump clearly wants to rig the election. But if that’s the plan, why hire a bunch of people who both failed and got caught trying rig the last election. I can understand some level of rewarding loyalty, but this not only tips your hand, it also promotes incompetence. Unless its all meant as a ‘screw you’ to everyone else, in which case its cutting off the nose to spite the face.

      Because, they did it once already, and that’s a difficult barrier to pass, talking to action. And when trump pardons them, they will be beholden to him

      They don’t care if people know. They are practically daring anyone to do anything about their fascist schemes.

      Because they will do it and have learned from their mistakes. Practice makes perfect.
