    Nothing he does is by mistake. It's calculated. I don't know if he's smart enough to do it. So he must have someone pulling the strings.

    It's not that Fucko is smart enough to do all this stuff.
    It's that he's so fucking stupid, he thinks he's a God-Emperor.

    Just realized that half of the opening narrations of "Burn Notice" seem to be about Trump.

    "Recruiting an asset is about making your target feel important. Everything from the clothes you wear to the location of the meeting should communicate how vital the mission is. Wear the right outfit, pick the right deserted bar, and your target will be ready to engage in some good old-fashioned espionage."

    "Turning an asset is a multi-step process. You back them into a corner, you pile on stress, you create tension with the people they trust and if you can cut them off from good influences so you're the only voice in their ear, they're much more likely to listen. It's a formula that works so well -it even works on spies who oughta know better."


    "They key to successfully bribing someone who resists an initial approach is research and observation. You need to know as much as you can about your target – his principles, his weaknesses, his dreams. With most by-the-book targets, it's usually just a matter of making them feel like they're not being paid to do something wrong, they're being rewarded for doing something right."

    "Finding a way into a criminal organization is about observing social dynamics. You start with a target. You're looking for just the right person to approach. People in the inner circle are usually too tough to go after. Anyone with real power is bound to be cautious. Drivers and bodyguards are easier but they usually don't have real access. You want someone with enough juice to be hungry for more, someone desperate to make a move. In short, you're looking for a frustrated middle manager."

    "Like con artists, spies sometimes find themselves in the unique position of selling things they don't actually own. To close the deal you just need a believable story and a lot of confidence."

    "Get your hands on any classified document worth having, chances are it's going to be redacted, which makes reading it a lot like watching a movie on an airplane. All the juicy parts are missing, but you still get the basic idea."

    Those people need to be shown the door by the voters in their state.
