I honestly could not discern the point you were trying to make and was baffled why you had written that but rather than be mean, for something you took such time with, I just moved on.
i suspect others did similar.
If you really want a thoughtful reply I suggest you remove all the emoting stuff (ex. your 'like' of Trump family), get rid of the poker nonsense (ex 'not bad to fold a Royal flush) and get rid of all the celebrity gossip girl stuff (Paris Hilton, etc) as none of that is conducive to you getting a reply. I had no idea that is why you were now posting links to celebrity gossip and would recommend the Mods send it all off to the great beyond.
Its all nonsense.
There's a lot to unpack here. None of that is nonsense cuepee.

I am paraphrasing, what could be considering butchering, something that David Sklansky wrote a long time ago. My paraphrasing/retelling of what he wrote is that: folding a royal flush is widely considered the dumbest worst mistake you could make in poker because you have the best hand possible and cannot lose. But that is not really true because you get a royal flush at such a rare frequency that folding a royal flush is a very minor mistake in the long run for a poker player. Instead a major mistake is calling too much in bad spots because a poker player might make that mistake dozens of times a day.
The analogy is apt to me because whether or not Trump gets prosecuted, hes only one man who will only be president once, under bizarre circumstances that will likely never happen again. His personal legal troubles should not be the cornerstone for political discussion or receive the amount of plotting on both liberal and or conservative forums that it has.

A suspects character is very relevant to a criminal case in America. This can make or break a case. It can inform whether or not a case gets filed, dismissed, or how a prosecutor decides to handle and charge a case. Since no one is defending Trumps family history, I thought I would take a stab at it. This element of my argument cannot be removed because it is foundational to the point im making.
and then there's this.....

America has the highest incarceration rate for women in the developed world .
I feel very stongly that celebrities are over prosecuted and its about to become a big issue. I notice you did not object to any of the males I listed but instead described Paris Hiltons legal troubles as "gossip girl stuff" which I find to be sexist. I could write a book about what happened to Paris, but I find it to have been an outrageous miscarriage of justice. Donald Trump is a celebrity first and foremost. One of the primary reasons I don't think he should be prosecuted is because celebrities are over prosecuted and I think that should carry weight in deciding to file a criminal case in this instance.
Please don't call my thoughts nonsense again.
