This is why Grindr boy  @SpeakerJohnson is pretending that $170,000 pa salary isn’t enough for Congressional members, therefore they have to be able to supplement their income by insider trading:Mike Levin (@MikeLevin)The President of the United States bought and sold tens of millions of dollars of Microsoft and Amazon stock. He told the public months late. His punishment? A $200 fine.

Two hundred dollars.

For the third time this year.

That is a rounding error on a parking ticket for a man trading more in a single transaction than most American families will earn in a lifetime.

The STOCK Act, passed in 2012 to bring sunlight to government finances, has become a joke. The fine is so small it functions as a subscription fee for breaking the law.

And the disclosure window itself misses the point. By the time the public learns what was bought or sold, the trade is done. The information advantage is already cashed in. A fine after the fact does nothing to stop insider knowledge from being converted into private wealth.

There is only one fix. A COMPLETE BAN on individual stock trading by the President, the Vice President, every member of the Cabinet, and every member of Congress. Blind trusts or mutual funds only.

Public service should not be a portfolio strategy.

The people writing our laws, regulating our companies, and negotiating with foreign governments should not be picking winners and losers in markets they themselves move.

Trump has a history of doing things like this without permission. Like pulling down buildings in New York City which were designated landmarks.Christopher Webb (@cwebbonline)The Trump administration is lying again.

They’re already drilling and moving forward on Trump’s giant gold “Independence Arch” before Congress even approved it, just like they tore down the East Wing for Trump’s gilded ballroom project.

That’s the MO: do it first, lie, deflect.

Rep Huffman showed up at the site and there was already heavy machinery and active drilling underway near Arlington.

A 250-foot gold arch for a president who treats taxpayer money like his personal renovation budget.

Trump is now claiming that Xi said he worked miracles in the last 15 months; and that Biden is to be blamed for America’s decline, not him.

Can you spot the lies?Liam Nissan™ (@theliamnissan)Watch this

It is amazing how little the press is willing to dissect US decline under Trump. The US got no help with Iran, was scolded on Taiwan, says it got a small Boeing deal (China has not confirmed) and Trump appeased on Chinese students, microchips, etc. Xi even insulted US power.…
