A federal judge just ruled against Trump and his children in massive pyramid scheme fraud case
U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield ruled today that a class-action lawsuit — one that accuses Trump and the other related defendants of scamming the plaintiffs into spending money on fraudulent, multilevel marketing ventures and a dubious live-seminar program that would teach them the “secrets of success” of the Trump Organization’s real estate empire — could move ahead with claims based on state law, including fraud, unfair competition, and deceptive trade practices.
The complaint — which they hope to turn into a class-action suit – alleges that the Trumps defrauded thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs with the bogus and worthless “ACN Network” which was similar to the failed Trump University program, which led to a lawsuit and $25 million settlement.
Hopefully, the lawsuit will rectify the loss of tuition fees by the thousands of people who strived to learn the secrets of Trump’s success only to be handed a concrete example of exactly how the Trump family makes its money: by fraud and deception foisted upon innocent suckers, exactly like he runs his administration.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

And the douchebag GOP for years hasn't done shit to beef up our election/cyber security. These assholes are putting party and power over ethics.

The only kind of security the gop is interested in is job security in the face of overwhelming demographic shift.

Yes, that's the secret of Trump's success: lie repeatedly, to everyone, until many believe you and you can take them for what they are worth. So I guess the students were taught the secret after all.

If you support Trump because of the tax cuts, you're OK with his racism.
If you support Trump because of his stance on gun rights, you're OK with his racism.
If you support Trump because of his stance on abortion, you're OK with his racism.
If you support Trump because of low unemployment, low interest rates, and a bullish stock market, you're OK with his racism.
What is the word for someone who is OK with racism?

Economically anxious, Boru. This was established years ago, when people were explaining how their trump voting loved ones would never be so racist, that there would be no American gestapo, no “papers please”, and no concentration camps.

Speaking of "papers please" and concentration camps, there's this American citizen who was held for three weeks.
