We make our own luck. There's a lot more of us than them. They must all be held to account, every criminal, traitor, and thief. They must be identified, documented, and their crimes made public. Then We the People will be their judge. Our Constitution and Forefathers paved the way.
An investigation is due process. Since that doesn't seem to matter anymore, anyone in the administration or Congress who has traded stock in the last week or two is assumed guilty. Throw them in jail without a trial or access to a lawyer. Shave their heads while we're at it.
MTG sold a bunch of shares HOURS before the announcement.
They are doing it on purpose, that should be clear right now. Trump uses his and melania shitcoins to get the bribes. Yes, There's still people buying huge volumes of those. I wonder why!
Of course there was. But what the hell, let's take a year or two to investigate, get a committee together,
and if we can stay focused, we'll see where it takes us.
No one. His four years will be up by then so everyone will just call him lots of names. Then they'll tell people, in really big, strong words, don't vote him in for a third term because he's a really bad man. 🤔
Write them a strongly worded email? Where are the consequences? Where are the people who are willing to put these criminals in handcuffs? They absolutely know no one will do dick. We are not the only ones watching the impotence of what should be the checks and balance of this country. They know.
Cory Booker made a good stand but not sure what it was meant to do. Democrats need to find their spines and use whatever procedure is available to stop the GOP. The Republicans have been successfully doing it forever. The Dems worry about being civil. Time to fuck that and fight - hard and dirty.
I do not believe that Americans who think they want to live in a fascist state have any idea WTF they are talking about. When they learn, the tide will turn. Think Mussolini and Hitler endings.
Good luck with that Adam. It bends the mind how Dems continue to fight our corrupt political system and government officials with outdated rules. We must fight on their level by filing lawsuits against individuals who benefited from the tariff roller coaster: confront their actions very publicly.
Adam, you don’t need to look far. Yes there was insider trading and every country in the world has overwhelming evidence. Investigation completed, proceed to trial!
It would be interesting and revealing to uncover how much buy and selling were done by associates of autocratic .gov leaders https://planetrulers.com/current-dictators/ who are trump's spiritual bed fellows
I can predict that with Trump messing with FAFO (the American Family Welfare Act), hitting the stock market hard, and now lowering tariffs, prices will continue to go up.
DOGE employees are getting GS 15 step 10 salary. It was published somewhere about a week ago. I just can’t remember where at this moment. WE are paying THEM close to $200k to steal EVERYTHING we have. I know this because my spouse is that grade.
It took my husband 40 years to get that grade in pay. But these snot nose brats walk in off the street and get it. That’s why I remember it. It angered me then and angers me now. They put him on admin leave. Now he’s retiring before he was ready. Bastards.
I’m so sorry for you sweetie. I TRULY UNDERSTAND. They will regret letting all this seasoned talent go. Hubby wanted to work 3 more years. He said that his agency wouldn’t be the same after the culling that was done. He said it’s just time to go. Not worth the daily stress to stay around anymore.
They're HACKERS. Criminals and traitors, if they're even Americans. By the time the Trump Cult gets their head out of Trump's ass it'll be too late: our Constitution, rights, and money will be long gone.
2/2 been nice to get a sizable down payments to buy a house. But they ALWAYS screwed him out of his bonuses and split them amongst the good ol’ boys crew. Im glad he’s leaving. His talent was never truly appreciated. Now he can work on his terms contracting for double his hourly rate.
Exactly. That’s why I said that it could be higher with bonuses and high 3’s. Those bonuses are starting at $20k. My spouse NEVER got his but his white counterparts ALWAYS GOT THEIRS. They never wanted a black man to get anything. Yet they came to him when shit went left ALL THE TIME. Might have 1/2
This administration is so corrupt, even if they did an investigation who would perform it, themselves? Rampant corruption and gutting any existing infrastructure & stealing data for who knows, maybe training his Grok, or Musk’s xAi.
What will come out of this ? Trump is an insurrectionist who is the commander in chief now. I feel this investigations are lip service as death will come faster than consequences for this horrible man
We can only hope. A long, lingering, agonizing trip to hell.
I really think karma is a thing, and you don't have to wait for your next incarnation to be confronted by your evil deeds.
The Court declared that a President is immune from prosecution when exercising the 'core powers' of the presidency. Me thinks insider trading isn’t a core power.
The only thing bigger is his wallet. Not better for those who can’t afford to manipulate the market. Must be gratifying for MAGAs to see their guy get rich while they lose out.
Yes, he admits it and gets away with it again. The rest of us suffer. I’m wondering how to help my daughter pay for college and this asshat is trying to double his ultra wealth. He is a psychopath. He is not a leader.
Kind of adorable, sure. How much will this cost us? The answer is yes, so who’s going to jail? The old way , and people having ethics don’t work anymore.
Conmen attract other conmen who are willing to serve a corrupt master. Investigate their trading records. Take them down. Pick better leaders, as suggested by Octavia Butler ("Parable of the Talents"):
Are you kidding me?!! Of course, there was insider trading. Most, if not all of his family, friends, and supporters who contributed largess to his reelection.
I'm sickened. We've no recourse thanks to John Roberts.
Votes now won't fix this.
Do we still allow the public square to tar and feather?
On a serious note... The market manipulation and inside trading that went on in front of the whole fucking world was yes, at the expense of the tax payers but it takes people's 401ks... retirement gone. And these demons are celebrating their windfall.
WHICH IS ILLEGAL AND DOES HAVE “ARREST” CONSEQUENCES! So why is that Orange Turd still NOT behind bars.!
He has even instructed Family & Friends to sell/buy with inside information DAMMIT!!
🤡💩🤬’s
If you arrested every person who was elected to federal office for insider trading, you'd have very few of them left over, and I'm pretty sure a fair number of those are just too stupid to know that they can make money doing it.
To be clear, this is a huge problem and it needs addressing. At the very least, everyone in government leadership needs to be forced to put all of their assets into a blind trust.
Of course there was. Trump may act like a cartoon but I do believe he plans his moves. He can then call in favours. Mind you, I’m not a psychologist….🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes!! Don’t know how we will enforce the findings but he committed a crime again and we can’t just let that slide. I can’t wait to throw the whole lot of them in jail. Somehow, someway, it Will happen.
Speaking of Adam Schiff, we just word that he is coming to our college, I and other members of the college democrats on campus were planning to go to a Bernie and AOC the same day. I would rather go see Bernie and AOC, but I’m an officer in the organization, any advise?
I hope they’re also going to investigate him for market manipulation - this should be a pretty easy offence to make out, given there’s evidence of it all of his social media. 😂
Bondi was a partner at Ballard, “the Most Powerful Lobbyist in Trump’s Washington"
"Trump Foundation had donated $25,000 to Bondi's re-election as Florida attorney general at the same time other state prosecutors had scrutinized Trump University."
Good! I think the investigation will get stomped on,‘cos they will NOT want to get caught with Treasury bonds in their pants at such a perfect moment.The bottom of a market is supposed to be hard to gauge,this was literally broadcast to the world by the man doing the crashing & "saving"!
They're gonna find that yes, there was, then everybody will be wringing hands for three days until, the next crisis and then nothing will have happened.
But the middle class Americans had to take their medicine, so the oligarchs could make some money. From Canada, when are the Americans going to say enough.
He did, twice. But now he has all three branches by the balls.
I'd love to dig up some kompromat on these shitweasels.
You know they have whores on the side and shady deals, which if exposed, could ruin them.
How do you think senators&Congress folk retire billionaires on $174,000 a year?
Oh yeah.
As soon as the Orange baby is gone. There will be lines of Trumpsters with self-serving, poorly written tales of their victimhood at the hands of that evil criminal.
Phrases like, "we were only following orders" & "we didn't know!" will abound, overwhelming publishers.
Nuremberg redux.
There most fucking certainly was! Thank you Adam Schiff. Then let's see if we can get enough votes to remove him and his entire fake administration. They are all felons, now.
At this point it would only be a “shadow” congressional hearing to investigate since we can’t do a damn thing in the minority. He did this for the press release & to see if the GQP Senate will seat it down.
Without a doubt, there was. That's what Trump's administration had always been about. Self enrichment, fraud, grifts, money laundering, illegal schemes.
Nothing for the people. Everything for Trump and his enablers
No, it wasn't an official act. He sold his stocks, knowing he was then going to tank the market. The tariffs are covered, but selling his stocks shouldn't be because it's inside trading.
This is a good point. Personal buying and selling of stocks can’t possibly be construed as an official act. But the only way he’ll suffer consequences is with huge Democratic majorities in both houses so that he can be impeached and removed.
If we can keep getting louder, making our voices heard so that the Republicans understand that the American people will hold them accountable, I think we can take our country back.
Perhaps we can repair some of the damage done, but I doubt we will ever see justice served to the worst of the current offenders. I’d love to be wrong, of course.
Wait until he sees what Congress has been up to... This is why we can't have people with no integrity in the Democratic party. We need more like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, and Jamaal Bowman.
If the people get angry and revolt, though we will go to prison in El Salvador. Ok to rip us all off, not ok to do anything about it. Fuck them. I loathe them.
Or they'll say out loud what they did but in the form of blaming it on someone else, and nothing will ever happen. Why does nothing ever happen? Why are there never any consequences?
It's only hopeless if we give up in advance. The corruption goes all the way to the top, but that top sits on a foundation of 330 million, We the People. When that foundation crumbles, they will fall and hard.
Of course this was manipulation.2 bursts of tweets 2test the water, &then the felon goes out and says to his oligarch minions “ready set go”. Wiping out the middle class boomer’s expected wealth transfer to kids and grands.There will be no helping them out or improving their lives after we pass.
One day Trump will be gone and history will need to know what happened so we can learn from it. The reason we know about many atrocities and abuses of the past is because brave people kept records.
Every single piece of evidence that is found on the Internet is pretty much impossible to scrub. Since they won't keep formal records it is important for opponents to hold whatever records/info they can
I'm in UK but I agree about education, but it's more than that. Your culture seems to have primed you for fascism in so many ways especially since Regan. I'm not sure how you're going to educate the people given that your media has been cowed, your schools defunded and your unis bent the knee 😢
And sadly some other fascist will come into the picture and get away with it also because they will find loopholes in the system like he has. He’s a con man and there’s always one out there waiting for their turn 😡
For these types of investigations, I favor daily updates. Carried by all media.
Given this new, an investigation into the use Signal, and other shady stuff since the inauguration, there should be updates 24/7. Then, we won't have to watch all the lies.
Imagine if this happened under the previous administration. Oh, I know, that’s a pretty big leap of the imagination but just think of the witch hunt that the media, led by Fux, would be heading up. Hunter Biden would be under arrest and Joe would have been impeached already.
yeah .. and so what .. we already know they are bad people that do bad things .. but we never punish them so they just keep on doing the same thing .. in their heads they are thinking "let's do this terrible thing, what's going to happen, they're going to out us again .. pfft" .. america is pathetic
I'm slightly left of your Dems, and Australian, but I chatted with my wife on Tuesday about whether we should be buying some shares. I didn't cause the manipulation, but I could see it happening, and an extra few grand can help a lot of people.
It still wasn't something we wanted to be a part of.

Doesn’t exactly require Sherlock Holmes to solve this case.
Impeachment? Toothless…as we’ve all learned.
Consequences for dozens of convictions and rape? Nope.
But good luck!
Do not trust a hope, ever. America will always bend over and take it from Trump, always.
Btw…Did you notice what the stock market did today?
Checked the price of eggs lately?
The sky isn’t falling, Chicken Little.
They are doing it on purpose, that should be clear right now. Trump uses his and melania shitcoins to get the bribes. Yes, There's still people buying huge volumes of those. I wonder why!
and if we can stay focused, we'll see where it takes us.

Trump posted on TS: “Buy buy buy”
and it will happen again in 90 days.
Doing nothing is surrender.
I do sympathize with how you feel.
I really think karma is a thing, and you don't have to wait for your next incarnation to be confronted by your evil deeds.
I presume #SCOTUS meant "when acting as president" not simply anything he does.
Then again, he can spin anything to sound like he's acting as president.
Which is true, as 45/47 it's one giant performance. Nothing more.
did his manipulation of the markets a criminal offence?

But we’re cool. The world is cool.
Too bad I didn’t have any money. I would have probably bought today because I don’t think it would have gone down much more.
Unfortunately, all my money was tied up in losing money 😔

that's not what we have, and because 'every one does it'... there's a huge barrier to making it so people *don't* do it.
preferably a double-blind trust.
Just don't appoint Merrick Garland to investigate this.
“I SEE”. SAID THE BLIND PERSON!

Today was a BANK ROBBERY. The Crime of the Century!
The FTC Chair stepped down in January and the Dem commissioners fired recently. How convenient for Insider Trading.

Trump has always been a sleaze.
If you want more details on how it happened see my long post on my profile to see more details about the manipulation.
#StopMarketManipulation
Only morons believe "We're all gonna be so rich" was being said to everyone and not just his loyalists portion of the 1%.
Start the insider trading and market manipulation investigation with MTG buying treasuries prior to the market blowout.
Just a waste of fucking time as regardless of the findings, absolutely FUCK ALL will happen!
Given this new, an investigation into the use Signal, and other shady stuff since the inauguration, there should be updates 24/7. Then, we won't have to watch all the lies.
Hold them responsible 👏
