What % of Congress is involved in "insider trading" on the stock market? [View all]

I have no facts, but I sense that it is almost every one of them, Democrats and Republicans. That is the primary reason they are hesitant to call out Donald Trump for his crimes and grifting. Because they have their own little side deals going. They all want to be millionaires. Most of them have already made it.

The rotten apple in the basket has made the entire basket inedible.

This is one of those mornings where my heart tells me that we need to change directions. If Al Capone were reincarnated and ran for President, Democrats would have a hard time beating him, in my opinion. He would call them sex-changing mutilationists who want to change the sex of your children. The Party of transsexuals.

And the Democrats would have no response... as voters would carry that question to the polls. We would assume that people would know better than to believe such demagoguery. But, do they?

Surely there is something the Democrats could say?

And what does any of that have to do with "insider trading"?

I will repeat my first comment. I have no facts.

Good people are losing to criminals and morons.
