What could be more fair? I just don't get how so many Americans can buy his act. If it's true that we get the leaders we deserve, then I am afraid we are all damned for being so stupid.
For the sake of knowledge: she wasn't convicted on insider trading, but she did lie to the FBI during the investigation and they convicted her of that.
Where on this post does it say that she was CONVICTED of insider trading? Show me please. I can’t see it. I probably sound like this because you’re the 20th person on this thread to say it, and nowhere does it say it. 🙄
Pshh, you're cool 👍🏾 and I can 100% understand your frustration. It takes a special person to apologize on the internet (you may want to call Guinness to check if you're the first)
Seriously though, sorry I didn't read the thread before piling on with the same criticism ✌🏾
Thanks, and no worries. My mother was a narcissist who never apologized for anything in her life, so I don’t hesitate when I feel bad about something because it’s really not hard.😁🌸
Good luck. He has been impeached twice already, 34 felonies etc. The rest of the government doesn't have the collective will to take him on, yet. Everything has a tipping point and I'm curious to see what Trumputin has to do for shit to stick.
And we have fking Jim Comey to thank for that….such bullshit, I question why it’s so easy to put women in prison, like Epsteins girlfriend but none of the men involved raping 13 year olds girls and boys…and now woman are going have difficulty voting WTAF
I've had to spend probably dozens of hours by now watching corporate training videos on avoiding insider trading, how it could severely damage the company, how it's illegal etc but then politicians do it all the time and it's just another day for them
That shit always enrages me. These fucks know darn well that every time corruption like that does occur, it's always some rich fuck at the top of the food chain, never Joe Janitor, but by all means, let's have the normal folks waste hours on these dumbass training sessions. 😤
Just a lil FYI: James Comey (yep-that guy) was behind Martha’s prosecution.
They didn’t have enough evidence to prosecute her for insider trading, so they prosecuted her for being dishonest with fed investigators. Put lots of people out of jobs because they had to close down her successful tv show.
Hold up. Don't get me wrong--the GOP is populated with folks who should get struck, repeatedly, by lightning, but Stewart was charged with lying to the FBI. Yes, the lies were about insider trading. She forgot to just say "I don't remember" to the cops.
She would tell all the women the application of justice won’t be equal for them.
Unlike Martha they won’t do the time helping others. They’ll be yelling it’s everybody else’s fault they got caught, versus owning they committed a crime in the first place. then waste taxpayer money fighting us for it
All rethuglicans need to be removed they are no longer a political party they are a cult of criminals liars and thugs destroying America as fast as they can they want us to be their slaves we are turning into trumpistan
The problem is rethuglicans don't go by the documents they happily break the law daily without any consequences since they control all government and they will cheat lie steal and break the law to keep power especially trump
We have the numbers and now that they pissed off own voters the bipartisanship to depose dictatorship. If millions who marched had road fires no mansions left in USA like Civil war South. 🤔
Grant victory over the powers of evil that have arisen and bless Ukraine with your gifts of liberty, peace, tranquility, and good fortune please help us we need your support and prayers always 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️
I've said that all along. And because she was a "bitch". It's perfectly okay for a white male to do the same thing and suffer zero consequences. And quite honestly, I don't think she actually did a damned thing!! She had been a stockbroker early in her career, she understood the assignment!
Of course. Just like on day one he fired the head of the navy a 4 star admiral.simply because she dare be a she. Now she was replaced with an incompetent investment banker who never served in any branch of the military. His only experience was years of playing who sank my battleship.
I believe my comment above the meme was what would she say? That’s all I fucking said. Fuck social media whiners annoy me. If you’re gonna WHINE about something, why don’t you try WHINING about what I actually said. Which was sweet fuck all.
It's a clear statement. I don't know why some of you need to make more out of it, twist it or bring more into it. It's simple. Leave it at that. Come on, Peeps. 99% of you get it. The remaining 1% of you. Back off.
You're right. It was conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators. 4 felonies. Amazing. She got 5 months in minimum security for that. Yet 34 felonies gets you 4 years in the White House. Go figure. I guess we'll see how this plays out.
She refused to let them take her name, her ideas, she self published and was successful. I believe she was the first woman billionaire (not positive) and they were angry.
Except he’s pro trump. 50 cents is too. @flavorflav.bsky.social is the only one standing strong against tyranny. What else do you expect from the man who wrote and sang “can’t truss this”?
Martha ended up being convicted of 4 felonies for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators.
She spent 5 months in a minimum security prison & 2 yrs. probation after release.
34 felonies gets you a 4 year term in our White House.
They wanted to make a point with her. I don't think that would have been the outcome if it would have been a man. Personally, I didn't like her (at ALL), but I did respect the way she handled it. She did her time.
This is another story. People have lost their savings for others to be enriched.
People have this impression that Martha Stewart is like this:
"Hello, peasants. Today I'm going to show you how to make truffle-encrusted, gold-leaf foie gras. If you can't spare the $4,000 for the ingredients, you can go die in a ditch."
"Today I'll be showing you how you can make a Thanksgiving centerpiece that looks like it cost 400 bucks, but it's literally made of stuff you can find in your yard."
But she's a little odd/formal. And that's enough for people to HATE you.
Also we were talking about the length of prison sentence for some minor crimes like lying to federal investigators, obstruction of justice and maybe insider trading. Did it make you safer knowing she was behind bars for those five months, unable to accost you with Thanksgiving centrepieces?
Four felonies, but none for the underlying alleged crime of actual insider trading. And the guilty verdicts came from a jury primarily riled up about Martha allegedly being a terrible boss, and sympathy for a disgruntled employee Comey put on the stand.
Right - conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators - 4 felonies - 5 months - minimum security - 2 years supervised release.
That’s why we need an edit feature on BlueSky posts. There’s an edit option on YouTube and I think there’s one in SubStack comments and on Reddit too. I remember awhile back someone asked the programmers for one, but we still don’t have that feature AFAIK.
In Martha's defense, who was a licensed stockbroker at one point, she did a bid for LYING to the feds who were investigating her trades. If she didn't agree to speak to them, she might not have caught that bid. Pepperidge Farm remembers. ALWAYS ask for an attorney and always ZIP it.
Best revenge is to live a happy life: if we ever survive this coup, let’s make Martha an ambassador or cabinet secretary. Whatever would enrage the Nazis most.
This is why I love Martha Stewart. She went to jail, did her time, didn't cry or whine about it. Left prison in a dope ass shawl and made even more money!
You’re probably right, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t take a shit kicking while they were in there because they’re so annoying. I’ll never forget the crochet shawl that Martha made while she was in jail, that pattern went viral.😁🧶
And guess who went after her… James Comey, he is a snake! So was that simple call from her rep that a stock is declining and her response to sell it, really ‘insider’
Martha would tell them that going to prison gives you great street cred.
But if bone spurs, rapey, felonious, orange blackface, stinkbomb illiterate, serial bankrupter-in-chief can get elected dog catcher he doesn’t need credibility
She didn’t serve time for insider trading. It was the attempted coverup of what she did. Charges: conspiracy to obstruct, obstruction of an agency proceeding, and making false statements to federal investigators.
If you read, it was repeated told on here exactly what she was convicted of. We never said insider trading. Check things our, read, before commenting and accusing. Have a good night.
I just went and looked at a replies, and she likes to argue with people. I’m gonna mute her so I don’t have to deal with her again. She ended up in my notifications at the wrong time.
Did anybody say she was? Did I say she was? Does the meme say that she was? I’m just curious what your reading as opposed to what I’m reading. Let me know.
Few U.S. elites are saying anything about maga... too much to lose, I guess. The regular Americans are the heroes of the current battle for America's democratic (or not) future.

They just wanted her out.
#BuildtheResistance
But totally support the sentiment ✊🏾
Seriously though, sorry I didn't read the thread before piling on with the same criticism ✌🏾
But seriously, rich people live in a 'you didn't hear this from me, but ...' world. That's how they stay wealthy.
I like Martha. She has a good sense of humor. In some ways, she's actually pretty cool.
She was railroaded and they made a
show of her
This is why our country is failing….
Greed and Corruption.
None of them should be anywhere near the stock market.
Especially the fukn president.
It's a good thing.
They didn’t have enough evidence to prosecute her for insider trading, so they prosecuted her for being dishonest with fed investigators. Put lots of people out of jobs because they had to close down her successful tv show.

Let’s get these sycophantic republicans out of office.
Sorry, but the rich white boys aren't EVER going down easy.
Reputation is gone.
Capitalists are going to do what Capitalists do, and she's one of them. Delete me if you want. Your loss, not mine.
I know she's not the least bit surprised.
So the “brilliant” Felon King will perform his “art” again in 90 days.

Can you elaborate on WHY you didn't like her "at ALL" in all-caps?
Most people either outright cannot come up with any reason, when they're put on the spot. Or else they just entirely make up shit out of whole cloth.
"Hello, peasants. Today I'm going to show you how to make truffle-encrusted, gold-leaf foie gras. If you can't spare the $4,000 for the ingredients, you can go die in a ditch."
"Today I'll be showing you how you can make a Thanksgiving centerpiece that looks like it cost 400 bucks, but it's literally made of stuff you can find in your yard."
But she's a little odd/formal. And that's enough for people to HATE you.
Especially if you're a woman.
She didn't just say "I didn't particularly like her." She went out of her way to say she didn't like her "at ALL."
We no longer live in times when hate can go unchallenged. I no longer assume any hate is justified.
I'm asking what prompted hers.
😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
Of course you don't notice until you post.

I have thought about her many times over the last few months.
These mediocre white men could never.
I remember the live coverage of her release, all her cell mates said she was super cool and taught them crafts
If MAGA 🍎 goes to jail
I would bet they’d come out more like 👇
But that’s women in general
We are accustomed to get screwed so, when it happens, we can pivot easily
Like oh, this again
Well I’m going to go ahead and continue to be productive
