Jordan Belfort is still scamming people

@Hardkill The US laws are so corrupt. A judge picked by a party is most likely to be a biased judge which ironically is against the most important elements of any justice system.

It is mindblowing how much ignorance there is in US politics. Lobbying (aka legal bribes), electoral college and the supreme court judges picked by the president.

 

Yeah, while America still isn't as corrupt as any underdeveloped or any developing countries are, it is arguably the most corrupt first world/developed country in the world besides perhaps Israel now.

@Hardkill If Trump wins reelection he will stuff the court with right-wing lunatics for the next 40 years and there will be no progressive legistation chances at all. All of it will be blocked and undone by the court.

You guys don't fully appreciate how bad it will be.

Some people credibly predict a military dictatorship to take place over the US in the next decade and if the Donald comes through it seems plausible it would go down that way.

I still don't think it will be that bad, but it really depends on the adults in the room.

Despite being an actual criminal Jordan's not that much different from a lot of other people working in his adjacent fields of media and scam businessses. All of the other shady behavior, riding right up to the edge of breaking the law is the norm.

Jordan is like Trump. A very glaring ugly example of a bald faced liar getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar. We are supposed to all scoff at these loud brash idiots making mistakes while we copy them up until the edge of not getting in trouble. 

Aside: Coffeezilla really has gotten a bit stale and repetitive with his content. It's kind of a shame he's narrowed in on "scammer busting" or whatever because even if he just widened his scope to broader "scam busting" (IE: Dariy scam!) it wouldn't seem like witch hunt TV.

The movie glamourized his life. Immature people see that movie and wish they could be him. Just like how immature people wish that they could be Trump.

If you are peak Orange, Jordan Belford and Trump are your God.

That's the irony at the end of the movie. All the male audience are captivated by him and wish to be just like him. But Belfort's life is a total shitshow. Which in reality, as you mentioned, only an immature person would want that. Peak toxic orange.

Guys like this had lots of stage red in them. If you watch Dragon's Den you'll find people who are very financially successful that are pure Orange, sometimes with some Blue tendencies (strong family values). That's a lot healthier. 

What you think?
