Hawley: i’m introducing a weird version of stop congressional stock trading!

“Lefties”: Yeah sucky Democrats! See, even this guy gets how legislation to rein in the shameful capitalist dogs should be!

Hawley: also, no money back for Biden voters!

“Lefties”: *crickets*

I don't think anyone is naive about people like Hawley or MTG, but if they happen to be right on something once or twice, isn't that something that should be applauded? With the current make up of Congress you need some Republican votes to pass this stock trading ban or release the Epstein files, so you need to peel those off one way or another.

Actually the policy he's proposing in the article is okay. It's targeting people with high incomes.

lol. Too true. These days I wonder who’s worse. Fascist MAGAts or virtue signaling leftists that do more talking than acting.

I know which is worse. The fascists, obviously.

Being passive is far better than actively dismantling democracy.

Being passive IS dismantling democracy one smug self righteous comment at a time.
