It wouldn’t be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?

    Justice DENIED. AGAIN.

    There’s no impropriety about sending a convicted felon to prison just before an election. He has already been convicted. The fact that he is the nominee is irrelevant. RNC should have thought about that before they picked a guy they knew would likely end up behind bars for all the criminal acts he committed.

    Now Trump will say he “won” the case, just like he did with the classified documents case. Corrupt judges all the way down.

    This is an astounding level of bullshit even from a country that gives its full throated support to anyone with a net worth in the 7 figures or greater.

      A million bucks isn’t worth a million bucks anymore. $1,000,000 might net you $75,000 in yearly interest, before taxes. What kind of purchasing power is that going to be at retirement?

        A worker earning $36 an hour wouldn’t make $75,000 a year.

        The millionaires are fine.

          $33/hr. was an unimaginable amount of money to me in 1998. What’s that look like when I can’t work anymore, say in 2040? How about when a loaf of bread goes from $.50 to $5.50? That’s how I know you’re a child.
