Honestly, with my sixth sense eye of history, I don't think that fits the crony model. My weirdo sense sees him more as Merkala's lap dog. Crony, fits in my mind better toward Kissenger and I can't explain why I get that.
However, posts keep returning to topics of 1) the movie Casablanca and 2) why feeble old man Kissenger has appeared.
Macaroni as Captain Renault being a lapdog to Major Strasser and turning on the Nazis in the end? With his speech today that doesn't ring true. Or was it to expose the dimorats even more blatantly as the traitors they are?
Kisssenger - he was (maybe still is) a master manipulater, swayer of nations. When I first learned terms we now call DS back in the 70's I put Kissenger in my mind as one of the top worker bees. Having him pop in now makes me think "they" may be running scared bringing in an aged feeble old faithful. And yet, I think President Trump has some hole cards he hasn't thrown out yet.
Q says "we have it all" He doesn't say "we've played it all" and we still have a Trump card. Not much into card playing tho I know how. Play a lot of 42. Always hold a domino to the very end to catch the best trick. Not sure that analogy is understood by all but I think we've about played this hand out and hold the remaining trumps. I really love our president's name.

Will bet you the old guy is having the time of his life, going out fully engaged.
And I wouldn’t bet on senility. We have friends in their 90s who are sharp as ever. Henry likely still has sharp teeth. Our bodies betray us as we age, which doesn’t necessarily mean our other faculties are dulled. Inside, we are the same people we always were.
‘Casablanca’;’Threepenny Opera’....we live in interesting times.
