would also go into debt for the fucking moron. That is perfect, almost too perfect. How wonderful is the irony of his poor cult giving their own money to a financially inept, cheating criminal who is repulsed by them yet is living like a king.

I admit to being a little bigoted towards stupid people. There are times when I think I should climb down off my high horse and stop being so snotty. Then I hear about shit like this and think: "Fuck 'em. Stupid people deserve the stupid shit that happens to them because of their stupid decisions."

Unfortunately it is a far-too-human proclivity for people to fall victim to con artists, grifters, and cult leaders.

These are human beings being hurt here. And their lives won't ever be the same.

All the fraud, grifting and misplaced priorities create yet another negative toll that is not as apparent once past the dollars wasted.

Yes, their lives will not be the same.

the independence of women, and especially married women, and even more especially women married to misogynists. And you know this guy, if he's that much of a Trump**er, is an extreme misogynist. I have no trouble extending provisional sympathy to her.

Heck, when I was in the middle of a divorce, I couldn't even cash the check from the car insurance for his wrecking my truck, because the insurance was in both our names. I had to get him to sign off on the check because I was depositing it in my own checking account.

26. A Second Mortgage?

Dec 2022

What an idiot? And, his wife didn't know? Was the house just in his name? Our house is in both our names, and a 2nd mortgage (or a new first, as there is no mortgage) would have to have both people signing at closing.
I know state laws differ, but I couldn't do what he did even if I was gullible enough to do it.

About inflation and the cost of gas. And socialist health care. Another working man struggling to get by one day at a time. Damn Democrat agenda is killing him. And the grooming from fake history being taught to young people.
