      This is what we get for not enforcing the tax code and basic business regulations (like “don’t commit fraud”) on the rich.

      Trump’s tax fraud schemes have been public knowledge for decades, but apparently it’s not possible to prosecute these things when the fraud reaches amounts of 7+ figures.

        Once you get enough money, you can openly commit fraud in the country. It’s not even a secret. Once you have a big enough legal fund prosecutors don’t want to go after you, because they could lose. They can’t possibly risk having another loss on their tally. Better to force some brown people to plead out on planted dime bags because they can’t afford a lawyer.

        Early on, I hoped that Trump would destroy the GOP. Now it looks like he may take a lot of bankers and fraudulent rich folks with him.

        Anyone who has had to show three paychecks to rent an apartment is livid over the idea that Trump could get millions in loans with fake documents.
