Many years ago I realized that if the #Mafia ever designed a political system it would look EXACTLY like the US.
Judges for life, easily bought.
Elected Police Chiefs, easily bought.
Electoral colleges, easily bought. etc.
It did not affect most folk too much, life had to go on in order to skim the cream from the top. But now Russia had outbid the Mafia they WANT the system to collapse.
