Twitter less Orange traitor is a greeter at Merd a Lago, Gaetz is shitting razor blades waiting for the other shoe to drop, and the biggest thief, at least who got caught, is dead in prison. I’m gonna toast to the positive....

A warning to Mattie “The Mattress Flipper” too. Remember the close family friend that died in jail because of the big dogs fear of him FIPPING? Known to Mattie as Uncle Jeffrey. And HE was not flipping mattresses for the next drugged child victim.

Yes Maddoff died in prison, and absolutely, no one is above the law, but the fact that Maddoff remains in the memory as "one of the ones who got caught". This is a guy who was in the business since the 1960's and hailed as "the wizard of Wall Street". He commited fraud for years and basically got caught because he was stealing from rich people. There are SO many people who stole life savings from average people who never received justice.

Would not be surprised though if a Putin low level mobster stole from a rich person somewhere.
Gotta have dreams, right?
