Insider trading is still legal
« on: February 16, 2012, 08:16:38 AM »
If this doesn't make your blood boil, you don't have a pulse.  It's everything that's wrong with Washington and politics in general.

On a side note, Cantor and Grassley must need wheelbarrows to haul around their balls.  Just amazing. I mean, Cantor must be making hundreds of thousands off of "political intelligence", right?  Why else would he commit political suicide like this?

truly believe that as a public employee you should be banned from any private work from a company you directly or indirectly supervise.  I wouldn't mind lifetime bans as well for people like that $!#* from the FCC/Comcast/NBC fiasco.

Sorry if discussed elsewhere but does a president and his family starting their own brand of currency count as insider trading or nah?

It probably will be, but only after they all finish the rug pull.

There’s some debate as to whether some bigger cryptocurrencies are securities, but meme coins clearly are not.

It’s no different than selling jars of Trump-breathed air, which also would make him a fortune I’m sure.

I'm sure Dax has a closet full and that's the first thing he breathes in the morning.

The number of grifting ads was overwhelming yesterday.  They seem to have an endless supply of junk left over from the presidential campaign and need to cash out with Maga.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

Too lazy to look but did Trump get sworn in on an official Trump brand Bible yesterday?

Not sure, but he didn't touch the one he was sworn in on. Pretty sure he went into old man zone and forgot what he was supposed to be doing.

He was clearly saying I’m not playing the religion game anymore.  I don’t have to

Really hoping that this is the case. Hope that he rubs every conceivable form of debauchery in the face of all the white evangelicals who have empowered him.

maga twitter was desperately attempting to explain this obvious rebuff as "malania wasn't there in time" which is hilariously stupid.
