I think corruption is an eternal fact of life, but where we have run off the rails is the total lack of consequences. There are articles, hearings, and then nothing. Business goes on as usual.
When the perpetrators are in federal prison in the general population getting repeatedly raped in the shower, then behavior will change.
Not enough white guilt/virtue signalling. 7/10 on the āthoughts and prayersā scale
Case in point.
Iām a Rand Paul fan, but this is poor form regardless of my support for them.
We should add Kelly Loeffler, David Perdue, John Hoeven, Dianne Feinstein, Burr (first name?), Jim Inhofe and Greg Gianforte to that list.
I laughed when Congress did a formal investigation on themselves concerning insider trading.
They found no instances of wrong doing or anything resembling insider trading.
Imagine that.
Itās not āinsider tradingā if your spouse does the trading. Chanelling that Pelosi vibe.
Match his [Rob Pelosiās] stock moves 1:1 and youāll quadruple your investment by the time the year is up. Mans doesnāt miss, imagine that.
I also really appreciated how quickly Nancy Pelosi wrote-off the idea of banning elected officials from trading stocks.
Of course. Just like they exempted themselves from Obamacare and created their own golden insurance plan for Congress.
It should be a law that anything they pass for the American people they have to FALL UNDER TOO.
Kind of like when tons of members in Congress were tossing money into warmongering groups, merc groups, and weapons manufacturers about 10 months before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Anyone watching knew war was coming somewhere that we would be supporting or involved in.
Sounds like he does insider trading poorly. His wife invested between $1,001 and $15,000, and lost money.
Florida breeds them different:
A Florida Keys couple told a snorkeler he was too close ā then out came a rod, cops say (msn.com)
You cannot own the water, lol.
I thought this was already a law?
You must not have been paying attention to California these last 2 years 
Itās not just a law, its the law. As in the rule of law
I mean it might be, but they donāt follow it. Or not in the way you think they do.
Congress has 72% of their premium paid by a Congressional Stipend - they have to choose a gold plan under the DC Exchange and they also have free healthcare via The Office of the Attending Physician from primary care to anything you can think of.
They also get stipends to pay for basically everything Memberās Representational Allowance (MRA) for the house and Senatorās Official Personnel and Office Expense Account (SOPOEA) for the senate.
So I guess technically they fall under Obamacare just at the premium level hardly anyone else can afford with added free benefits.
I implore you to go on the healthcare exchange and see what a plan would cost you at the gold level - if you make any money at all. It is laughable.
Animal Farm!
Soviet Russia!
Allegory!
This is all over my feed on Linkedin, FB and on 2 papers Iāve seen today.
This had me almost falling out of my chair laughing.
I see why these people are poor. They are more worried about their pride and how they look to those around them than focusing on actually making money.
Absolute idiocy.
I bet a lot of actually wealthy people are kinda embarrassed to be seen not buying the value brands, since they are almost always the same thing for less money.
I at least think this way. For example, I would be embarrassed to wear designer clothes because I would be strongly implying that I am terrible with money.
