Is and was a crook. No questions on that. Just how many laws has he broken? Or is the list shorter for the ones he did not break?

Aside from bloated insecure yams and the mainstream media, pundits are the last to acknowledge their imperfect skill-sets and that mistake they made, oh, say, back in the '90's.

That dawns on me most every time I see a photo of him and I wonder if I'd forgotten how ugly he really is. Being we don't see his face plastered everywhere these days, it would be easy to forget. That truly is a nasty looking man.

When he was younger, he looked rather sleazy. Over the years, he just got flat out ugly as his true being surfaced more and more. I didn't see the meanness and cruelty as much when he was younger. Now it shows on his face all the time. Guess it has become harder to disguise.

would anyone assume that his tax returns would reflect anything resembling reality? He's lied about everything else.

A poor person is caught with property that belongs to someone else, it's theft or burglary and off to the hoosegow. But a rich person crime, like fraud, has to prove that the person who ends up with all that money intended for his actions or his speech or his promises to take money from the victim which would then land in his pocket. "Gee, your honor, I had no idea that I was selling a pig in a poke to all those folks who gave me money. It just happened that way, that I got their money and they got nothing." "Dismissed!"
