Evidently, Republican dissenters on the panel argued that the bill, should it become law, would punish the wealthy and discourage certain people from running for office. IDK, sounds like a winning proposition to me.
In the new abnormal, the self-righteous King points his greasy finger at the commotion of untamed Donkeys while his long-nosed heard of Dumbos stampede upon US(a) serfs. Of course he wants to keep his stash of rewards handy to buy off complicity while deluding himself the People will contentedly fight over peanut spillage. FEUDal "lords" can't build castle walls high or thick enuff to hide from what's marchin toward them (or in their precious store houses). It's abundantly obvious that corruption is rampant, the stench of their treason lamely disguised in another ludicrous acronym. FARTers forever⁉️ (Fascist American Republican Traitors). HAUL He scratching his head while 47 scratches his BBButt.
Hard to top esteemed former NY Congressman Chris Collins, (first member of Congress to endorse Trump), photographed phoning his kid from the White House lawn (2017 Congressional Picnic!), telling his kid to sell some stock. Charged with felonies, plead guilty, resigned in disgrace, sentenced to prison, pardoned by Trump (of course), he’s now running for Congress in Florida. He’ll fit right in, won’t he?
The photo of 5'11" Josh Hawley standing across from 6'3" (HaHa) Commander In Cheat Donald Trump that shows them of equal height is proof positive that they're all liars about everything.
I wish I had a crystal ball and could make $65K in profit in six months on an obscure industrial stock. I wish my investment manager could pick up a half million dollars and move it into a stock "just to see" and then make millions of dollars off of the ... wait a minute ... I have those things, a crystal ball and a smart financial advisor. What's the difference? Inside information! Damn, I better run for office.
Halting the torrent of government corruption from top to bottom sounds like a good idea to me. Was it Rick Scott who said there was no point to being elected if you couldn't make millions? (Or words to that effect.)
So, are all candidates in political office to be so independently wealthy regardless of any public opportunities to make profits buying and selling stocks, business offerings etc. ? Those who don't have personal wealth can retain the appearance of moral and financial purity? These people in public office are always in need of more funds.
What an interesting topic! Consider the dilemmas of Zuckerberg, Bezos, and then Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and those in a position to simply give away some of their wealth. Who can claim moral financial abstemiousness?
Coward Hawley is my so-called representative. He's just like Sir Robin. 😉 He's a perfect example of the area. He doesn't even answer my emails anymore. I can't stand him.

I hear ya’. Stay tuned. It ain’t gonna “work out” how the gigglers think it’s gonna.

Goddammit, of course he came to floriduh!,
Why not? All the other crooks are here!
I know—we are lousy with them already!!
Learning about how our government "works" is an exercise in learning about all the ways politicians and those who fund them can be corrupt.
Great update, team! I seem to remember that Marjorie Taylor Greene made a pretty penny sometime in the last six months, too.
Yup.
Published Apr 15, 2025
"Greene's net worth ballooned from around $700,000 before taking office to an estimated $22 million today"

Funny...I don't recall them teaching corruption as part of civics class (Yup, I'm old enough to have taken civics in public school).

Anyone remember Whitewater and the years of investigations that turned up nothing anyway? Boy, does that seem quaint now…

Let’s not forget, not only his Trump a lowlife he is also DUMB.
Ah gee, $174,000/yr plus
all the other freebies
they get for serving "the
people" just isn't
enough. Most of these
reps, especially in the
senate and house
people who've been
around awhile are $$$
millionaires. Heaven
forbid we, the people,
stop them from making
more money on the
stock market from inside
tips.🙄
Aw, is Orange Jesus mad at Run'n Josh???

"Who can claim moral financial abstemiousness?"
Me! Me! Me! I can on account of I have only small money. Not like they do.

Smite all of these evil-doers, scrape em up (enspatulate them?) and appropriately dispose of the remains in a sewer, cesspool or landfill.
