Other than Trump, they all are as crooked as they come.


Come on, now. No need to live in fairy land.

They’re ALL crooked one way or another up in that infested swamp. Just some more than others.

Meanwhile, some people are still asking why the hell the government is involved so deeply with the business decisions of a private corporation?

Cleo will never be as good as Nancy Pelosi. She's the best stock trader in history, and it is not even close.

My favorite move from Pelosi is when she convinced her cult to go and "Occupy Wallstreet". Remember that? I'm sure the OT Moderates don't.

Woman is an evil genius.

Add the president to that list and you have yourself deal.

And the Vice President.
And the nine Supreme Court Justices.

President Donald Trump tore into Republican Senator Josh Hawley on Wednesday after Hawley was the lone Republican to join Democrats in advancing legislation that would ban members of Congress from buying, selling or owning individual stocks.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump called Hawley, who represents Missouri, a "pawn" and a "second-tier Senator," adding that the GOP lawmaker is "playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats."

This has got to be so easy to get around. If you don't leave any email or phone records, how will the feds prove anything?


They can prove you're friends with someone who's friends with someone on the Board at or employed by Oracle. Then they lean on that source until they rat you out.

Isn’t there a stock index where you can make the trades they make?

Many of the elected officials of both parties come in with little or modest income and come out rich.
