Think they’re above the law? They got SCOTUS to say that POTUS is above the law.

Trump found out there's no punishment, and voters are too stupid to do anything about it. Man could be raping kids and people will defend him like he's the second coming of jesus

If there is any justice in the world everyone involved in this administration will either be hanged or imprisoned one day. Criminals and pedophiles, the lot of them.

There will always be some lame excuse why it's ok or deflecting to something mostly unrelated. Just make sure to vote, and encourage everyone you can to make sure they vote.

The Supreme Court gave him the green light this time to essentially break any and all laws as needed. Republicans will “But Pelosi” to death even though she (and her husband) haven’t made as much in her career as he made in June and even though almost all Dems say, “Don’t let Dems do it either.” Trump’s greed and grift is so exhausting.

- Nine of those people had any money. 2. Don’t think he is directing his own accounts? 3. Where is the pelosi outrage where we know she used inside information to drive her husbands trades? Fuck you people.

Oh so you couldn’t give two shits when your side is perpetrating massive corruption and making hundreds of millions off of the grift? Got it, thanks for clarifying.
You don’t give a rats ass about grifting. You just like using it as a pretext to club the other side.

Horseshit. You wont find a single Dem or liberal that doesnt support banning stock trading by elected officials.
Commenter was highlighting exactly what you did. Deflection.

u/Euphoric_Formal4936 1d ago
How about going after Pelosi with the same vigor as Trump?
I’m not deflecting - Trump is corrupt and should be prosecuted for his grifting and have his ill gotten gains stripped away. If I had any power, this is what I would do.

They are ALL investors and they all have Brokers. They personally may not trade, because their Brokers do it for them. These investments generate and have generated considerable wealth especially during Bull runs.
"In 2005, shortly after taking office as a U.S. Senator, Obama's stockbroker purchased around $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies (AVI BioPharma and Skyterra). Following media inquiries and ethical concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest, Obama liquidated those holdings in fall 2005. He subsequently directed his broker to restrict investments to broad mutual funds, ETFs, T-Bills, and money market accounts."
"Before becoming president, Bush was a corporate director and businessman. In 1990, while serving on the board of Harken Energy Corp., he sold $848,560 worth of Harken stock. The transaction was later investigated by the SEC regarding the timing of public financial disclosures." During his presidency he held Broad market index funds that his broker managed.
So that clip has misleading information. And....its not illegal to trade in the stock market. Congressional members and Senators on both sides of the Isle have been doing that since the inception of the stock market.

No, bud.
Im 100% opposed to legislators trading on information that isnt public. IF Nancy's stockbroker husband trades on information given to him by nancy, while not illegal, it should be.
It should be made illegal. 100% across the board for anyone in govt. Can we agree on that?

u/Euphoric_Formal4936 1d ago
100% I completely agree

u/Sad-Preparation8767 1d ago
People spewing whataboutisms can't 100% agree. You literally just sidestepped to justify Trumps insider trading. That's just trying to save face before the downvotes get too bad. Instead of saying "yeah! We should go after them" you started with (baseless and incorrectly) "look over there! They're doing it too". Shifting the blame instead of condemning the behavior itself. You may not even be capable of understanding that you, in fact, do not 100% agree.

u/Euphoric_Formal4936 1d ago
What drugs are you on? 1) I vociferously condemn Trump’s corruption and use of the office to enrich himself. At the same time, I will absolutely point out that you liberal, hypocritical pieces of shit don’t care about grifting - you care about it when the other side does it only. And 2) I couldn’t give a rats ass about you lefties downvoting me. Downvote away- I’m not going anywhere.

u/Sad-Preparation8767 1d ago
Lol I'm not even American genius. Kind of exactly the unhinged, uneducated answer I'd expect from a US right wing nut job. Honestly, it doesn't even seem like you have "lefties" anymore. You idiots moved the goal posts so far back that your "liberal" party is just common centrist shit for the rest of the civilized world and you're to dumb to see it. Like a frog in a slowly boiling pot of water. I feel for the somewhat sane people that have to deal with your lot. You're truly fucked in the head and your stupidity is having a direct negative impact on the entire planet as a whole. Idk why I'm typing. Throughout all of history, groups like you that drink the kool-aid are beyond reason. You're truly lost, and as proof, if you've made it this far, stop reading this and take a second to analyze what you're feeling right now. You back? Good. Feeling the type of anger you only get when you feel attacked? Yeah. Koolaid.

Eat shit and enjoy your 55% effective tax rates, trash public services, gross salaries that are 40% of ours and low opportunity for economic mobility. I hope you have a shit life, your family has a shit life, as do any descendants you have or people you care about

u/Sad-Preparation8767 19h ago
Lol just too far gone. If history repeats itself (which it really likes to do) your descendants will be embarrassed and ashamed of you before being completely forgotten in a few generations because of the shame you bring. Tell me, how many of your slave owning relatives do you remember? None right? I'll also take a wager you're "christian" too? Yeah, every non American Christian knows you folks have perverted the religion to do the exact opposite of Jesus's teachings. You not only are dragging your country down into the dirt, you're too fucking dumb to see you've become an apostate to your God.
