There's an old 'joke' that's not a joke and I don't recall who came up with it
but it was said that anyone who decided they must launch weapons of mass destruction, like nuclear weapons
should be required to knife to death the person with the codes to get those codes, because it's that serious.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
