American freedom to exploit one's privileged position, to use inside information to make bank on the financial markets even though non-congresspeople would be committing felonies if they did the same thing.

Money as speech. America's greatest discovery.

And to think they want to end all that.

It's Madness,I tell you, Madness!

You must not be from around here. The Pro government authoritarian Dems are throwing ---- on the walls trying to make something stick to help them in Nov.

They spent time on J6 and let the middle class suffer. Now the "transition".
