Another reminder that in a country with a functional justice system—especially for white collar crime—Donald Trump would be spending the rest of his life in prison several times over at this point.
Remember over the summer, when Trump urged reporters to start digging through mortgage records, looking for officials who might’ve committed fraud?
Months later, it’s hard not to wonder whether he regrets issuing such a challenge. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Two Trump mortgages have same feature that led to charges for several presidential foes
“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice,” one expert said.

I think an important thing to understand about brofluencer ideology is that they do not just deny that being toxic and shitty makes you a less appealing partner, they insist that women are only genuinely attracted to toxic and shitty men and being kind will instead make women lose respect for you.
