You're even more stupid than your reputation.

Insider stock trading is illegal too, but members of Congress do it all the time. Conflicts of interest never seem to bother them. Try stopping that.

I don't condone it, but the Supreme Court opened the floodgates with its ruling on the Citizens United case, and until such time that control of the court can be wrested back from the right-wing hacks the ruling shall stand.

EDIT: Of course, the Congress could theoretically do something about the problem, but yeah, there's the fascist infestation factor there.

There is a bill in congress right now to stop congressmen from investing in stocks right now. Try stopping Biden from vetoing it. You know he will if it ever reaches his desk.

SCOTUS should reverse that decision. They should be harassed until they do. We all know SCOTUS is corrupt because all the presidents that appointed them are corrupt.

You're right - but your Putin-bought Trumpist handlers will never allow that.

You are a conspiracy theorist who denies other conspiracy theories you don't like because of partisan reasons. You have no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia.
