House Speaker Mike Johnson said that members of Congress should be able to continue owning stocks.
He suggested that a stock trading ban could discourage people from running for office.
Earlier this year, Johnson expressed support for a ban, citing the “appearance of impropriety.”



I wonder if Johnson is honest with himself about being a vile, corrupt piece of shit. Or if he kids himself that he’s righteous and doing good things in Congress.
When all this is over for maga, he’ll still carry the Trump-sized hand impression up his puppet ass for the rest of his days. History will paint all of them exactly as they are.
In “Inglorious Basterds” Christopher Waltz plays Col. Hans Landa a villain for the record books. When asked about it, Christopher Waltz says he achieved this by not playing Landa as the evil character he is written as, “because no one believes themselves to be evil.”
In some weird twisted way I believe these Maga believe themselves to be saving the soul of America. These fanatics are so far removed from reality they’re literally delusion in their believes they’re doing the right thing.
But how would stock trading relate to “saving the soul of America”? A lot of their disgusting actions like gerrymandering or bending to knee to Trump could be painted as a means to stay in power and thus allowing them to be able to continue “saving” America. But personal stock trading?..
Pretty convinced at this point that all these dickweeds are in some kinda shared psychosis, where in their world of entitlement they get to have it all and being all righteous about it because it’s their God-given right goddamn it. Money, power, control over other humans because they never learned how to control themselves.
Buncha king wannabes.
Fuckers be living in fantasy land.
