    Congress insider trading scandal picking up steam

    About time someone looks into how our politicians can seem to do so well in the market year after year (remember Hillary's great trading windfall back in the 90's).

    Hearing all this makes sense of how these sons of bitches get in and become millionares. Insider trading making a financial killing. A civilian does that and they go to jail. Congress and Senators do it and they just get rich. They need to live under our laws or theirs needs to extend to us pesants.

    Congress and Goldman Sachs should share janitorial duties in the worst DC housing projects. Also they get to live there so they would be on call 24X7.

    Yes....because I am compassionate.....there would always be a cheap .38 revolver around with one bullet.

    Why do you think Barney Fa...err...Frank suddenly decided to retire after 30 years.

    If he quits he's going to get to run with the money.
    No investigation of his corrupt cum bubble covered ass will ever be done and he knows it.

    I predict more "retirements" will come soon if this story continues to gain momentum.

    Direct democracy is a gang rape. Eight men vote to rape one woman and the woman has to accept it because the majority decided that it was ok. A constitutional republic on the other hand is eight men and one woman with a full mag. Think about it for a while until it hurts your head.

    Heard something the other day about how wealthy Bill and Hillary are, Nancy Pelosi, etc and then they mentioned VP Biden, 26 years as a senator from Delware and how his net wealth is $350,000. Either he's a straight arrow in this regard or he really ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

    I'm thinking option B applies in this case.

    For this he may be a straight arrow but I bet he has assets not listed. He may have a major problem with a flip lip but stupid he is not. Responsible for gun control act and Drug Czar and way to liberal in a lot of ways but I don't think he is a slime ball like most of his colleagues.

    Of course insider trading is legal for those in Congress.

    I'll decline to take that opposing bet.

    It is way too easy to picture him in a hotel room with a 17 year old hooker in a schoolgirl outfit playing "who's your daddy" though. Reguardless if it's stupidity or some small shred of something actually resembling integrity it does'nt change that the fact that he's still a creep and a douchebag of the first order.

    Don't like the man's politics but where do you get he is a pedophile?

    Just a gut instinct reaction i get when i look at him. Not pedophile so much as pervert in general.
    17 is legal in a lot of places but you're still skating on thin ice reguardless, especially at his age.
