You'll notice these _internet sleuths_ are not beholding to corporate interference from advertisers. Please review the history and speeches of *Edward R. Murrow* who forewarned us of this about 70 years ago. We should consider ourselves lucky that a national broadcast of this is available to us. When it comes to *national news* you only hear or see what they _want_ you to see.

"trading stocks shouldn't be banned because doing so would cut off a financial source that some politicians use to make ends meet." The annual salary of a US congressman is $174,000 and they get a very generous pension. If they can't make ends meet with that, they should immediately be removed from office because they clearly are wildly out of touch with the reality all the people they supposedly represent have to live in.

Nancy and her funny freak husband plus probably countless friends and family made 100's of MILLIONS from insider trade stocks. It's not hard to find the details on those facts with a little web hunt and review the dark web finance report dumps. I believe all politicians should be banned from the stock market while elected and every politician along with close friends and family monitored 24x7x365. Politicians should only be allowed income from the salary they accepted when they agreed to represent the citizens. Anything beyond the government salary should be seized

This exposure to the mechanics of asset payouts naturally led to a duplication of these practices in personal finance. Consequently, this individual now enjoys the benefits of such financial astuteness, and I'm confident that this advantage extends to their close circle as well.

Didn't Margarine Traitor Peen just buy a Mansion? Imagine that. From Trailer Trash to Millionaire, in one term. "No swamp here, folks, move along."

They make 6000 dollars a month. I'm on SSI, I make that in a year. 180 grand a year is really good paycheck. More then most Americans make. What they do is wrong. Unless they share the info to all of us!

You can buy the NANC or KRUZ ETFs. Quite a few stocks that I like on there but mostly blue chips.
