    Yes it would. There have always been assholes and there always will be, and being an ******* does not depend on your political affiliation.

    I think most people in this thread think it is wrong for her to steal money..... doesn't mean that it isn't funny or worth a chuckle though.

    If random young black woman posted a go fund me page and did not mention politics at all, but asked for money for college, would the same folks have contributed money to her? Would other people have given her money? Would it even be a story........ or did she get money, and it is a story because a black woman wore a MAGA hat and swindled MAGA supporters?

    Right? I don't see a whole lot of kudos being posted.

    And to answer my earlier question since nobody else did, yes, there have been several cases of people being charged with fraud for stuff like this, usually re: a bogus illness or the like. And gofundme refunds all donations to causes that are proven fake.

    It's a story because of the politics obviously. It doesn't make her any less of a criminal. As for if the people would have still given her money, that's a question for them, not me, but I would probably say they wouldn't.

    I don't think these lies are funny no matter who it happens to, but that's just me.

    BTW, the link gave me a 404 error.

    Geez, not stealing, it's fraud. People willingly signed over money to her, so it is not stealing. When you trick people into giving you money it's called fraud. Two different crimes.

    Looks like your link is acting like it didn't happen.

    Hard to be sympathetic to people who live in an age where internet scams are very common....yet they STILL fall for it.
    At some point you have nobody to blame but yourself.

    Interesting how some folks are so invested in this woman's lack of candor yet seem to have no probem with our own Prevaricator-in-Chief.

    Let me see if I'm doing this right.

    I see, condemn an ordinary citizen defrauding idiots for money to go to college but pay no attention to the President defrauding idiots to build power in this country.

    How familiar.

    Something can be criminal or immoral and still be funny.

    There was a man about 5 years ago that used to take a **** in the front yard of houses around our township. Most the homes are 700,000 or more... and it was in one sense funny picturing posh people angry that someone took a **** next to their mailbox.

    Take out the politics.

    Yes.

    See how easy that is?

    Add the politics. Prove it, charge him with the crime he committed, and hold the same standard for all the politicians that lie as well.

    No you don't "got me". I don't pray........like at all. I'm agnostic.

    Honestly I feel like praying is a waste of time. If you are having issues with something in your life, go fix it instead of begging some supernatural being to fix it for you when it probably has better things to do (or simply doesn't care) /rant.


    ******
    I thought you acutally meant "pray" but you meant "prey".

    Carry on.

    In my eyes, taking a dump near someones mail box and defrauding people of their money are two different things, but both are still disgusting and they should pay the price for their actions.

    ...but that's my opinion.
