A Flea Goes to Crookland; Ammo Grrlll on the Deep State Crooks
Dana Mathewson
Warning -- a bit of salty language from the lady toward the end. She is pissed!

From the article:
"In the book (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn), there is a neighborhood candy store, run by a fat, creepy child molester. (No, not Lena Dunham; this was in 1912.) He runs a "game†in which a little board has several covered squares with prizes behind them from penny candy to a gorgeous doll prominently displayed. The child can choose a square for a small sum, a nickel, if memory serves me. But nickels were very hard to come by. In all the time Francie plays, she never wins the doll or anything else of value, and only loses her precious coins.
She grows up, is a modest success, and returns to the candy store. She has a couple of dollars now and, in front of witnesses, buys every square on the whole board, over the strenuous objections of the crooked candy store operator. As even I had figured out as a kid, there was NO DOLL behind any of the squares. It was just a cruel racket.
I was put in mind of that racket when we Deplorables won the Presidency, the House and the Senate. We had run the table, bought all the squares on the card! Surely, Conservatism would now have its way draining the swamp! Lucy can’t pick up the football forever, can she? Can she? At some point, shouldn’t Charlie Brown man up and just clock her? Oh, not with a bike lock or anything – that’s just legal for antifa fighters against free speech – just enough of a whack that she maybe wouldn’t do it again.
I do not expect miracles, especially in some silly artificial time limit like 100 days. But for the love of God where is the budget for The Wall? How are the bids going for the project? If money is "owed†to the criminal-protecting scofflaws in "sanctuary†cities or states, just don’t write the checks. How hard is that? Make the judge-shoppers who shut that down try to enforce it.
Here’s what I think: I think the main reason that dozens of self-serving, treacherous Republican elected officials lost their minds when the Deplorables got Trump the nomination was that they had no confidence that Trump understood how this giant con game was supposed to work.
