    “Do me a favor? Do you paint houses too? What is this?” Pelosi wondered. “Do me a favor?”

    Similarly, the new hit Martin Scorsese film on Netflix, “The Irishman” has popularized a new mafia term.

    In the movie, Robert De Niro’s character describes painting houses as slang for murder, with the paint referring to blood splattered on the walls when the victim was shot at close range.

    LOL... I missed that....

    I seriously tried to watch 'The Irishman' on Netflix last week, but I couldn't get through it... never been a huge mobster movie fan to begin with, but the first hour of that was like watching paint dry.

    Back on topic, Nancy may slur a lot of words, but she's a pretty hip granny to work that reference in.

    Trump is essentially a mobster, although he's not the house painter.... he orders the houses to be painted... he's the capo

    Thoughts?

    FWIW, I saw 2 much better Oscar nominated movies in 2019.... Ford vs Ferrari and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Either should crush The Irishman in any head-to-head categories.

    That's good advice for us all... Nothing on topic?

    Do you consider Trump a de-facto mob boss??

    Did you like the Irishman?

    Could Trump physically lift a paintbrush?

    I think it silly hyperbole. One never knows what odd, mish mash of word salad, she will slur out next.

    Trump is about as mobbed up as it gets. The Mob is Russian nowadays and has been for some time.

    Scorsese remains a good director but he needs to realize that "cinema" is about more than just good acting and writing.

    Leader of the UNIONS' political party insinuates Trump is "mobbed up?"

    ...and just like that yet ANOTHER LW Irony Universe BANGS into existence!

    "Ey Tone? Reckon the GOP is trying to make inroads into our Teamsters and SEIU?"

    Give me a ****ing break.

    I like Lev Parnas' description - the trump group is more like a 'cult'. I have always considered trump to be of the same school as Jim Jones of Jonestown.

    I knew lev parnas was obviously lying when he was using neo-communist talking points. Trump is a cult leader... really... just stupid crap made up for the neo-communist base.

    The question is why he is lying. Is he turning on trump because trump did something he didn't like or is he secretly on trumps side and plans to sabotage the neo-communist coupe attempt?

    I vote that one... Maybe he didn't like Trump sabotaging his adopted country for his personal gain...

    Or maybe Trump didn't provide the proper salad dressing at dinner one night...

    If he's got the goods, the motivation doesn't matter..

    Is that like those on Hopium for eight years? The lowest unemployment in 50 years isn't a cult, it's a measurable fact.

    This is the same liar who said Nunes met in Russia with someone, that never happened.

    Trump threw him under the bus and he's trying to save his butt. In case you didn't know, he came to America at age 3. He wasn't under communist influence for very long.

    You think he "has the goods". I think he is lying. You guys really believe trump is a cult leader. Think about how nuts that is. And this guy was a member? Like he is some important figure. Bet he is a total saint...

    just because he says "orange man bad" doesn't mean what he says is true. I wouldn't trust him if I were you. :twisted:

    So he is saying trump is a cult leader because of some spat him and trump had. You hear someone say "orange man bad" and you assume it must be true.

    This might be used against you soon. :twisted:

    I don't subscribe to the cult thing myself.... it's too widespread.

    I have never been able to figure out why poor rural people back a snobby rich idiot urbanite, but I wouldn't go with cult as my first explanation......

    Because Democrats/neo-commies try to control how people live. The more powerful they become the less powerful you become. It is the average rural American that is affected most by the rules and regulations passed by the rich.

    It was a pretty good current events awareness analogy... you may disagree with her, but it's the kind of thing average American's can relate to...

    They have never come to terms with why he was elected, and I hope they don't between now and Nov.

    "Do me a favor?"

    Trump never said that.
