      So what you’re saying is we should all commit fraud until we’re rich and then we’ll be safe.

    If you do crimes, not minor ones, but big crimes, this administration has a place for you!

    Scott is a bag of shit, but the nominee for SoS is Florida’s other senator Marco Rubio (who is also a bag of shit).

      Scott is expected to become Florida’s senior senator when Marco Rubio resigns to become secretary of state in the second cabinet of Donald Trump. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Scott

      You’re right. This is all speculation. No sources.

      And I can’t edit Wikipedia right now either.

      Thinking of what happened the other day. Executives of evil corporations are surely serial murderers, so I argue it has already happened and has been happening for a long time.

      The very existence of poverty is lethal, making billionaires guilty of manslaughter through inaction at the least, because they are not using their money to improve or eliminate poverty.

          I understood what you meant, and I still get you. Let’s do a bit of levity. Since you mentioned skeletons in the closet-

          May I present to you, the new Cabinet Head for the Department of Health and Human Resources- Skeletor!

          Please scroll down enough to get to the delicious skeleton quote in full.

    Scott became CEO of Columbia/HCA … In settlements reached in 2000 and 2002, Columbia/HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and agreed to a $600+ million fine in what was **at the time the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history. ** During Scott’s 2000 deposition, he pleaded the Fifth Amendment 75 times.

    For non US peps.

    The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being forced to incriminate themselves. Incriminating oneself is defined as exposing oneself (or another person) to “an accusation or charge of crime”
