The Untouchables 1987
- Malone: If you walk through this door now, you’re walking into a world of trouble. And there’s no turning back. You understand?
- Ness: Yes I do.
If I have to think about what this administration reminds me of the most I have to say it’s the movie The Untouchables (1987) Starring Kevin Costner as Elliot Ness, Sean Connery as officer Jim Malone and Robert Di Niro as Al Capone.
I think this is a good analogy because what’s basically happened to the US is that the Chicago way came in with Obama with Chicago corruption and Trump came in the first time and did what he could but was stymied by the deep state which benefited from the corruption. This is reminiscent of the first failed liquor raid when Elliot Ness is made a fool of.
Ness is defeated and lost until he teams up with the Malone (Connery) the street smart detective who tells him that you can’t take prisoners if you’re going to fight Capone.
This is the Trump that has Elon Musk on his side the great technology and business guru who has teamed up with him.
Now the latest news is that Musk has gone after USAID and that he’s brought in a bunch of teenage computer genius’. Why? Because these kids are not dependent on the deep state or reached a point where they would be tempted to leach off the government. Or as Connery said just before this clip: “If you’re afraid of getting a rotten apple, don’t go to the barrel. Get it off the tree.”
And that sounds an awful lot like this:
For this Musk is unapologetic:
“Time to confess: Media reports saying that @DOGE has some of world’s best software engineers are in fact true.”
And like Capone the left is threatening violence against these Untouchables
” “”Hunt them down” Leftists on @bluesky and other social media sites are mobilizing threats of violence against the @DOGE team staff and their families as revenge against @elonmusk and the Trump administration.” “
And the discovery of Billions in waste is pretty much the liqueur raid:
Apparently everybody knew that USAID was a slush fund for pols and lefty NGO’s but nobody was willing to take on the Deep State.
Till now.
