    I read the article and I know her fraud was extensive but - anyone else feel like the death penalty for fraud is a bit over the top?

    Meanwhile in the usa… Our very own real estate fraudster with 91 felony charges is the pick of 50% of the country to be president.

    That was bizarre to type. I can’t believe this is reality.

      Or the fact the other real estate fraudsters who admitted dont convict Trump of the crime we are also doing!

      I can’t say nothing will happen to them as I thought, nothing would happen to Trump and here we are.

      I also have a biy more respect for giving someone enough rope to hang themselves. If Trump would of been stopped before his presidency, due to all of the reason any previous candidate would of been disqualified. We wouldn’t be here either.

        I keep reading and rereading this “sentence” and I’ve come up empty. Can you clarify?

          Sure! In summary the political process would of discarded Trump as a candidate before reaching office. For reference there was a politician who dropped from running because he had a weirdish yell played across the air.

          Then you have Trump in office, having never divested from his companies, from day one Trump was in violation of a crime. Now here is where the rope comes into play. Trump was playing the gambit of not bring charged while in office which allowed him to believe he could keep delaying the clock.

          Now due to his corruption, he has taken down the GOP, that party is slowly imploding, judges, politicians he has exposed the entire grossness of the system.

          So short rope, no insurrection maybe… Long rope and it leave a wider wake of destruction. RNC downfall, GOP splitting up…
