The President vs. every member of Congress COMBINED. Guess who made more personal financial trades? Donald Trump — with 28,000+ trades. Stock trading by top government officials should be illegal—no owning, buying, or selling stocks.

Yes, this happened during the first Trump administration too. Political appointees were hired and embedded as poison pills into the agencies they were sabotaging.

So you get large groups of white voters to ORGANIZE and occupy a safe zone around each ballot box. These mofos can't arrest anyone anyways. Or is all the "protect the vote" noise just a bunch of hooey?

Not exactly. They have partially-government-funded private health insurance, with the other part coming out of salary. The military might have government-provided health care, though.

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane
Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

This would actually be much easier: if CITIZENS occupied every Congress-critter's office and shut down Congress until the Constitutional provision for impeachment and conviction were followed (or the Orange Fuck resigned), it would be over.

The former PM of Israel just said very very very bluntly when asked — without even blinking — that Bibi was absolutely told about the Oct 7 attack days before because he knows this as fact. He also said that Israeli soldiers absolutely committed war crimes in Gaza. #gaza #israel #cdnpoli
