        lol, but what was that chud’s motive though? Was he really upset over her blatant criminal corruption or that he was Q-Pilled and believed she was a baby eater from the cabal?

    Even if they had no insider information, ethics experts say such trading undermines faith in government and the markets.

    What? If you have no insider information and your ability to retire is tied into the stock market because our retirement system is borked and you sell your stocks right around the time you hear a rumor that maybe Trump is about to do something that will cause everything to tank, why should you be punished?

    I mean fuck anyone who’s working for the executive branch or congress but if they didn’t have access to insider information this just reads like an uncharacteristically sane sense of self-preservation.
