Shocker! I agree w/ Ocasio-Cortez

Not what I was expecting, but she is one of the few people with a read on the moment.

 

Members of Congress of both parties do it and it should be banned. Although somewhat off-topic for this thread the rules against conflict of interest that apply to every other executive branch employee including both career civil servants and political appointees should also apply to the President and I might add that the current grifter-in-chief has exploited that loophole like none of his predecessors and it hasn't been remotely close.

 

Yeah, she's almost certainly correct that members of both parties commit unacceptable violations (crimes?) regarding stocks and personal financial issues. And that something should probably be done.

Negative, Ghostrider. Stop trying to gaslight - you know well that it won't work here.

One political party has allowed itself to become little more than a rubber stamp/shill for a traitorous, convicted felon criminal.


So when you glance at an image of the un-American criminality they are comfortable with, and try to lie to us about......you certainly shouldn't be thinking "both sides!!"

 

Just about everyone in the house and senate should be arrested and put away for insider trading. Almost all of them. But the problem is, it's basically allowed. Both Dems and Pubs allow it. It's gross. Pelosi with a notable failure on this a few years ago. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brie...ous-at-pelosi-after-stock-trading-ban-stalls/

 

Yeah, its funny to me that people think corruption isn't basically legal now. Even with laws on the books, through courts or lack of will, even things like the emoluments clause are effectively neutered.

 

Pigs are not going to ban themselves from gorging at the trough. Here we are.

 

Got a link, I would like to see what she said rather than what you say she said. We know both sides engage in insider trading and it should stop.

 

I like the stock pit reference, Mr. Ghostrider.

Let's be clear though; you made two points in your OP.
1) AOC is probably right the Dem pols are (also) shady wrt stock trading.
2) Therefore, all politicians are the same.



I readily agreed with your very valid first point.

You then drew a false conclusion - that will not be allowed. NOBODY in modern politics has done anything as un-American and criminal as what Trump did. Nixon came close, but his party wouldn't allow it.

So please don't make those false comparisons. You voted for a criminal. Who is also a traitor. Your road back starts with repentance. And maybe an apology to the nation.

 

This should be outlawed. Literally the only people in the US who are legally allowed to insider trade. Criminal.

 

That's not the stock market trading floor. Those are the patriots and tourists that Trump recently pardoned. They were held as hostages and he freed them when all they were doing was protesting an unfair election.

 

Come on, we all know that corruption is only illegal when Trump is involved. We turn our eyes the other way when people we like are involved.

 

Or if they can do it then let me do it

 

Glad to finally see an accurate post from you
