“Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe expressed concern about the president’s unpredictability, noting that one minute ‘he acknowledges he lost… Then he’ll immediately backpedal.’”
If Tony Soprano, Silvio Dante, and Pauline Gualtieri agree to whack Big Pussy Bonpensiero by taking him out on Tony’s boat, shooting Pussy, and dumping Pussy’s body in the Atlantic, and Paulie drives to Home Depot to buy heavy chains to tie to Pussy’s body so it will sink,…
