Is this entrapment? Cause I feel like if not a single form of authority can stand up right now then every branch is complicit. I was too busy driving and building houses to realize my boss wanted me dead. :(
MTG is proof that the market manipulation was more than just Trump. There was a conspiracy to lower the market, buy, then force the market back up. Wonder how many other bought right before the market went back up.
Why do you Americans allow that kind of trading from your elected officials to be legal? That's one of the easiest avenues for corrupt politicians. Honestly there's so much allowed in USA that is illegal elsewhere, for simply reasons. For example the ability for private entities to pocket politicians. That's illegal and corrupt in countries like mine. In USA, you guys normalise it with the term "Lobbying". No wonder the People's interests aren't being served.
Because, quite simply, the ones who do the "allowing" are the ones profiting from the blatantly immoral trading. Getting the elected people to pass laws against their own interests is impossible.
Public information makes it explicitly not insider trading. Anything that happened before that announcement may have been. It's definitely market manipulation though.
Fuck this, these assholes are getting rich off investors who are losing their shirts... We gotta stop this!!! Demand that NO elected official can engage in personal stock or bond purchasing.
or the game stop thing. "go invest your money you peasants" okay "oh god not like that" so youre going to follow youre own rules of aquistion right? *shuts the market down*
Yeah, but this time he let them know what to do, so it's all good now see? I honestly had someone say that to me. It's OK to do if you tell everybody first.
A top 1% commenter badge on the r/Conservative subreddit basically guarantees that someone will be pissing on your grave before the dirty has even settled.
It doesn't matter because even if Dems ever get back into power, they're never going to hold any of these fuckers accountable. Our country is broken. The rule of law is dead.
We need to stop supporting this farce of a legal system. If you get jury duty, nullify. Acquitted every defendant regardless of evidence and regardless of the crime they're accused of with no exceptions.
And I get it, there's plenty of crimes that are so reprehensible that you want to exempt them from the above, but
we can't. We need to break the entire fucking system's back and cripple it. Judges and prosecutors need to know we're no longer going to be willing participants in their two-tiered mockery of justice. It's either justice for all or justice for none.

It's not anymore unusual than referees betting on games they officiate.

What’s so unusual? She’s clearly following the GOP playbook and committing insider trading.
