Perhaps white-collar criminals should receive stiffer penalties here...

I wish we had the balls to do that here. I can think a few billionaires here that should suffer that same fate

Wonder if we could get a change of venue in Trump's business fraud cases?

In Vietnam Trump would be known as Man Orange Phat.

Bezos comes to mind, but he's partying with Joe and Bill.

She is being treated more unfairly than Trump, who was treated worse than Jesus, who got what his Father chose. Talk about unfair...

I approve.
Like to see it go viral.

Be interesting to see if they actually do it. In China she'd already be done.

@#3 ... She is being treated more unfairly than Trump ...

The implication is that fmr Pres Trump is being treated unfairly.

There wouldn't be any more Republican mega-donors though.

Yeah.

Mega donors who donate eye-opening amounts of money, but donors who may expect to see tax reductions from a possible Trump administration.

Tax reductions that are far more than the money they donated.

In other words, to them it does not seem to be about the policies, but the return on the investment.

Lyrics excerpt...

genius.com

...
Many people tell you that they're your friend
You believe them, you need them for what's round the river bend
Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send
'Cos brother, you've only got two hands to lend

Maybe there's someone who makes you weep
And some nights loom up ahead when you're asleep
Some days there's things on your mind you should keep
Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap

Better watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
...

We fought against the Vietnamese and Cambodians for their freedom to punish their greedy rich and hold them accountable.

From Wiki...The bombing campaigns of the Vietnam War were the longest and heaviest aerial bombardment in history. The United States Air Force, the U. S. Navy, and U. S. Marine Corps aviation dropped 7,662,000 tons of explosives. By comparison, U. S. forces dropped a total of 2,150,000 tons of bombs in all theaters of World War II.
and if you ask me... the death penalty method sure is a lot less messy than the Pol Pot method of teaching the entitled some manners... (which I think is on the way here if the ricos don't dial it back.)

Sooooo relative to the damage caused by the avarice of some... the death penalty is moderate.

In China they spend a weekend on the "golf course" with their "entitled"... as Ali Baba founder learned

We need to set limits on greed. If people can't comply they die. Heaven knows we punish people with lingering deaths for not being greedy enough.

Balance -----------... balance.

If the US did this you'd see a drastic change of tone from the 1%

Just how is fmr Pres Trump being treated unfairly?

Because he is being held accountable for his crimes.

He wants the power of a king with the accountability of a toddler.
