We are the compassion party afterall

[PoliticAverse]

1. They were probably expecting what was promised. n/t

[NobodyHere]

2. Presumably a quality education

Should we be blaming the victim?

[pa28]

3. They learned.

[Agnosticsherbet]

4. What any student expects from an university, an education.

They were swindled, so, yes, we should show compassion.

5. a get rich scheme ?

There are plenty of people out there peddling miracle cures, real estate "secrets", etc.. Trump is just another of these con artists. Unfortunately there always will be people who will fall for it. I dont blame them. They are the victims.

[LiberalElite]

6. Yes. They wouldn't have enrolled if they

knew it was a fraud. They look up to this guy.

7. Excellent point

thanks

[Nye Bevan]

8. In general I show compassion towards victims of fraud and scams (nt)

[Gabi Hayes]

10. Falwell, Robertson, Jim and Tammy, Ernest Angley, Sarah Palin, etal?

do you feel compassion for the fools who bought into those grifters?

[nichomachus]

9. Most people who are victimized by fraud artists

Have some larceny in their hearts. They're looking for something for nothing. That's why the Nigerian email scam works -- and it does.

People wanted Trump to teach them how to screw other people. He showed them. I'd say they got their money's worth. They have no complaints.

18. With all due respect, that's bullshit

Most people are desperate ... Trump preys on that desperation.

[Maeve]

21. You can't cheat an honest man eom

[rurallib]

11. Yes - and we should help secure a government that will help them get their money and some damages.

And that will punish the fraudsters.

[Shandris]

12. As a general principle you should show compassion to all people.

The moment you have to 'earn' your compassion is when it ceases to be, well, compassion.

(My thoughts only, of course, and others may vary.)

[Gabi Hayes]

14. take a time out from the madness:

[malthaussen]

15. Your conscience is your own.

It really isn't the sort of thing you subject to majority will.

[CBGLuthier]

16. You can't cheat an honest man and an honest man would have known get rich quick schemes are bullshit

I won't deride them for being suckers but not got a lot of sympathy either.

[Gabi Hayes]

19. step right up, friends!

[dimple]

17. Of all the vices, gullibility is the one I excuse the most (n/t)

[madinmaryland]

20. I WILL SHOW NO COMPASSION TOWARDS THE OWNER OF TRUMP UNIVERSITY.

He is a scammer and FUCKED a lot of vulnerable people.

Fuck tRump.

[Skittles]

22. no, we EMPATHIZE

but it is hard to EMPATHIZE with people who fall for DONALD F***ING TRUMP
