“The deed is everything, the glory is naught.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Take Anna Sorokin for example, the woman who pretended to be a wealthy German heiress, conning members of New York high society out of more than $200,000. 

She was eventually convicted in New York City of multiple counts of attempted larceny, theft, and fraud. Sorokin's story has been the subject of news and fiction - podcasts, TV, stage, and Netflix. 

fiction or fact

It is terrible how many folks like her we have all been exposed too - first hand or vicariously, on any variety of levels. As a Fil-Am my personal pet peeves are Donald Trump in the US and Bongbong Marcos in the Philippines. 

this misogynist must go

Bongbong Marcos [aka BoBoMo] is a terrible cheap copy of Donald Trump. Brat son of a rich entitled man. No achievements of his own. Shamelessly riding on the coattails of his corrupt dictator liar father and shameless convicted criminal mother. 

Bongbong Marcos [aka #BoBoMo]

Back when Trump was a nobody self-proclaimed brat, he got away with lots of things because frankly who cared - right? Then the idiot became US president - his character, behavior and actions remained unchanged - but now they are public knowledge for all of us to watch on a media frenzied loop.

To our eternal shame that will never be expunged from the annals of US history. The same with Martial Law atrocities in the Philippines. All the information is online for the whole world to see. Yet in the delusional BoBoMo bubble - father, son and holy rotten clan are the best of the best.
