But to many observers on social media, that’s exactly what the Fulton County district attorney was doing.
Writer E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a Manhattan department store in a lawsuit, and a jury found him liable for sexual abuse. A judge this month rejected Trump’s defamation counterclaim, saying Carroll’s insistence in a post-verdict TV interview that Trump raped her was “substantially true.”
“Mr. Trump did in fact ’rape’ Ms. Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contacts outside of the New York Penal Law,” Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in tossing Trump’s suit.
Remember, white collar crime is the most costly form of crime in America. Not just financially but also socially. There’s a strong argument that if all white collar crime was eliminated, the majority of blue collar crime would stop.

That’s an interesting argument. Do you have any articles or papers that support it available?
For starters, wage theft is the largest dollar amount of theft in the US and that would improve some of the lowest paid workers lives if resolved.
I don’t know about all, but it would certainly alleviate the financial stress of some.

Security of income and ability to pay for things has long since been shown to be directly linked to blue collar crime. Crimes of necessity wouldn’t exactly happen if they could meet those needs legally, now would they?

Sometimes people who ask for sources just want more details. This looks like one of those times.
I’m fine with people wanting more information. That’s a good thing! But everyone should find that information themselves. I’m some random person on the internet, and that’s how I approach every claim I read from others. We live in the information age, and if you are reading this and posting things in lemmy/reddit/Facebook/Twitter /etc you have all the resources needed to find peer reviewed studies and articles. Every adult individual needs to be their own researcher of knowledge. Ultimately it wouldn’t matter what source I provide if you are not willing to read up on several other studies that cover phycology, economics, history, politics, and so much more. All together they help create my opinion that “White Collar Crime” undermines democracy, weakens capitalism, and leads to blue collar crime.

What’s the point of making claims of you don’t intend on trying to make people believe them? Sometimes we want sources so we can have real numbers and details that we can reference.
I wonder if she could be any dumber without being unable to find her way through doors.
Obvious answer: She is doing just that.
Marjorie Taylor green has her head so far up her ass she has no idea what the fuck reality is anymore
I believe the condition is called “Rectal Oculitus”, when your head gets stuck so far up your ass it gives you a shitty outlook. ;)
If you’re wondering, MTG considers Jan 6th rioting among the list of crimes that aren’t “real crimes” as well.
We’ll all just step back and let you think about that one for a few minutes, Greene. I’m sure you’ll get there eventually.
Narrator: “She would not get there eventually.”
Deal! Let’s go after Gaetz, Trump, and check on right-wing organizations for questionable materials. Ah yes, Trump is a racist. They are doing part of that already!
As if she listens to her own words…
She seems to be prone to that, see the recent Biden ad where she went off comparing him to FDR and all his policies only for Biden to say"'yeah, you’re right…"
Fani’s waaay ahead of you Large Marge try to keep up.
