    The filthy mutt smells a pile of turds and mistakes it for a meaty bone.

    "I will lay off 75% of all federal employees."

    And I will vote for that!

    Great. And I mean that. You are declaring your own vote to be worthless,
    since you want to throw it away on a bobblehead candidate.

    Go Witless. Far.

    He's going alright:

    "Given growing concerns about Ramaswamy's history of potentially dubious business practices, which we've written about previously, his stock
    trading record may warrant more scrutiny, particularly as he asks the
    public to send him to the White House. The American people ought to
    decide for themselves whether they find this unbelievable timing
    suspicious, since Ramaswamy refuses to answer our substantive questions.
    As we have made clear with repeated requests for comment, we are eager
    to hear Ramaswamy's explanation for his success.

    As the saying goes: Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three
    times is a pattern."

    There's a whole lot more smoke here....but you don't care about that.

    "While he was at Yale Law School, Ramaswamy also worked for a hedge
    fund, QVT Financial. In the span of one year, Ramaswamy and his company invested in three companies—Pharmasset, Inhibitex, and Anadys, all firms
    in the highly esoteric field of hepatitis C treatments within biotech.
    And they were all acquired in major takeovers, with Ramaswamy
    fortuitously buying in or dramatically upping QVT's stake right around
    the time secret acquisition talks began in every case."

    Looks like the mergers really were a secret.

    There's a whole lot more smoke here....but you don't care about that.

    I've clearly stated my support for reform to prevent Congress members
    from profiting on inside information.

    At least one of the wackos in Gaetz's gang has railed against
    Congress's insider stock deals. I forget which dork it was, but
    he squawked at a reporter that this problem is reason enough
    to shut down the government. That is (I assume), until he gets
    on a committee where he, too, can get an illicit windfall or two.

    I see Gaetz criticized NC Senator Thom Tillis for a ‘low-energy
    response' to Sen Richard Burr's pandemic related stock trades. OTOH,
    Tillis found energy to go after Madison Cawthorn after the latter's
    public statements about Republican drug-fueled orgies.

    I'd forgotten there is a STOCK Act (2012) that confirms Congress members
    aren't exempt from insider trading laws.

    That's the Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card from Monopoly: Congress edition. Dumpster should have tried to sneak a loophole bill like that through
    when the fuckups had both branches.

    A Trump Emoluments Act?

    Have you noticed that Witless & Sackless haven't been crowing about
    their wet-dream faux-peachment of Biden?

    Poroshenko shot down their Shokin 'evidence' on Fox the other day. I see
    the transcript missing from Fox is now widely available:

    https://www.mediaite.com/tv/ex-ukrainian-president-wrecks-fox-hosts-attempt-to-use-shokin-in-biden-conspiracy-please-dont-use-this-completely-crazy-person/

    Hunter is also now suing for the alleged hacking of his laptop. Brace
    yourself for shouts of "see! it's real!"

    Hard to complain about imaginary pressure on the DoJ when there's so
    much out there about Bill Barr shutting down investigations against
    Trump figures.

    Good link. Also on the site is a recap of CNN's Acosta engaging
    with another Freedumber:

    NORMAN: Have you seen what’s going on? The rapes. It’s open.
    I mean, nobody can deny that. It’s a crisis.

    ACOSTA: I’ll ask the questions, sir. And the border is not open.
    That is that is something that is peddled as a talking point.
    That is not true. There are there are fences. There are walls.
    There are Border Patrol agents who work on the border.

    Again with the rampaging Latinos committing imaginary rapes.
    At least GHWB only used the Willie Horton garbage once.
