The Stanford Prison experiment and the other one where people were asked to shock others...pretty much proved that we are all brutes.

The bigger question is....we developed civilization largely to tame that beast and bring us all more happiness. Should we just forget out that on our quest for more money for ME???

The answer seems to be YES for 40% or more of the population. Germany ended up with less than that who voted for their Big New Boss.....so that is a dangerous percentage.

Truthfully, I never really thought Americans were more than one or two steps from mob rule or dictatorship. Maybe now we are just one step.

So much for the self made ma theory, looks like dad do a good job of hiding assets and income with The Trump offspring. Great investigative article by the NY Times, he must be exploding.

While the investigation/story stops with Trump corporation/business practices in the 90s and much of what is described has fallen OUT of criminal liability, the IRS can still audit and claim for unpaid taxes and damages....

https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/pol...new-york-times

And face it
Anyone who is crooked enough to do this never stopped
He still has never shown his income tax returns and he never will voluntarily because of the illegal aspects of all these operations...

And remember that Weisellburg was Fred Trump's finance guy who was involved in creating all these shell companies and illegal actions to shield money...

PS this article puts paid to any claim Trump had that he is a self-made man
According to this information Trump was receiving money from his father when he was a child--
That he was a millionaire at 8 and benefitted all his life until his father died and his will was invoked from money from his father...to offset Trump's own failed business ideas like his football league and his casinos...

Remember Trump might try to claim executive priviledge about what happens with the Russia investigation but there is no executive priviledge tied to his taxes...
If you think this is crooked, you will need to throw every tax lawyer, every corporate CEO and everyone who's every worked on Wall Street in jail.

Default More Proof Trump is a Financial Fraud

ttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...gtype=Homepage

Just a tiny taste to whet your appetite:
"Much of this money came to Mr. Trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes. He and his siblings set up a sham corporation to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents, records and interviews show. Records indicate that Mr. Trump helped his father take improper tax deductions worth millions more. He also helped formulate a strategy to undervalue his parents’ real estate holdings by hundreds of millions of dollars on tax returns, sharply reducing the tax bill when those properties were transferred to him and his siblings."

As usual, another bombshell report on the corruption and lies coming from the White House and his followers keep making excuses for him.

Like a girlfriend who is physically abused by her boyfriend, their love and affection for the man overrides all reason.
