Corruption piled on top of more corruption. Where are those of decent, moral conscience? Anyone out there?

One can conservatively speculate that 50% of CONgress is on the take and/or terrified of mob threat "accidents" to their immediate families. Once "in" that deeply, their only choice seems to be to double down on going for vacations (eg- drunk Lindsey with princess wand). If they truly communicated and cooperated with each other, ways to escape could emerge but details about how it all started and was sustained in the first place further haunts them. Treason is an exclusive but completely repugnant clubhouse. When "honorable" (as they continue to address each other-- cue bulb horn honks) men & women stubbornly refuse to admit personal/professional guilt, no wonder every challenge becomes a holy war.

Within the last week, my home state (New Jersey) just lost a federal appeals court case with the CFTC on this issue. If this matter does end up going to the Supreme Court, I wonder if there's any chance that the Court would side with the states. I'm not optimistic.

Bet you're right (sorry).

Pretty much sums up Trump’s America: a federal regulatory agency trying to stop state efforts to regulate.

You forgot about abortion.

This is such a crime family! Weren’t they the ones screaming about Hunter Biden? This is 100 times worse!

The corruption is staggering.

Pigs at the trough. Fat for the slaughter.

“but States’rights are so important. (How else will we regulate abortion?)”

Seriously - the only good bit of news here is that there are people inside the administration that are making bets and cleaning out these platforms. I just imagine the 🎃 losing his mind when he finds the staffer that has been taking money away from his family.

Shame, shame, shame. The only question can be: will they get their comeuppance or will they continue to prosper like maggots in the shit they dumped? Children cry with hungry stomachs every night in this country while the Twump boys grasp their blankies and suck their thumbs waiting for their Lobster Thermidor to be prepared by their private chefs.

Our local public high school accepts advertising from Kalsi and Kalsi has prediction bets on the school’s high school soccer games 😳

Get em hooked early! A sad state of affairs when that is a 'winning' business model.

Thank you for pointing out more trump corruption and pay to play misdeeds. It's something that needs greater attention and investigations. Everything trump and his corrupt family touch enriches themselves at the expense of others. I know for certain that trump and his brethren are thieves, scammers, crooks and criminals, but I do not know if dems are up to the task of holding these corrupt slime balls accountable. If there is no punishment for the corruption and crimes, the corruption and crimes will continue. Just ask Obama and Merrick Garland how playing nice and slow walking indictments worked out for them. Dems are more likely to be explaining the price of eggs as trump and family rob the hen house.

Criminals and collaborators.

Still wondering wtf happened to the 'don't tread on me' crowd. And the gun nuts braying about tyranny. I guess they're all buried up the pants-shitting pedophile's rancid anus having a 'who can lick its ass better' contest.

I don't understand Trump and his families - already wealthy - why do they need even more - how much is enough?

Adam's avatar

Don't be silly! Enough is NEVER Enough. There's always MORE!!! And it's even sweeter if MY having more equals YOUR having less! It's a WIN WIN!

Kudos to those of you who can afford to gamble.

Therese S.'s avatar

If you can "afford it" you are more likely to be an owner. It's a sport for desperate people.

Curious as to why everyone has gone along with referring to this as the “prediction market,” market being the curious word. Isn’t this just a casino?

Therese S.'s avatar

No, it's not a casino, which is defined as "a public room or building where gambling games are played." It could be better called an online gambling site but as I recall, if you call it "gambling" it's illegal in most places. That's one reason they use cryptocurrency and locate servers outside the U.S.
