I'm confused.

Do you think if is fine for people in entrusted positions privy to inside information of policy swings to use that information for personal gain?

In my world view, that is not acceptable behavior.

These folks must be in incredible shape due to the gymnastics they have to do in order to only support things when it fits their narrative. Can you imagine the wall to wall Fox Entertainment coverage if the 'other side' did any of the things that have happened over the last year or so?

Remember when they lost their minds when 44 made 4 million on speeches?

Remember when they lost their minds when 46 ACCUSED (never proven) made 20 million from from foreign sources, including China and Ukraine?

Complete utter crickets that 47 family made (proven) 4 BILLION in his first year. Absolute silence

Ya don’t have to imagine, its real life. Nothing they say is valid. Biggest hypocrites possible, on mind blowing scale. They are 100% full of crap. Ya can’t take these people serious, ever.

Notice who is suddenly missing from this forum.

I think it is against the rules to discuss politics here and if I told you what I thought I'd get muted, again.

If you see this as political, you miss the point.

Both parties do this, and in Congress it's rampant.

We all lose when our government and markets are manipulated for personal profit.

Whoever it was of any party should be hunted down without mercy no matter how long it takes and prosecuted to the fullest possible limit of the law.

Examples should be made of this kind of behavior.

Sure seems like we are the only ones getting muted for politics right. They can make slights and faints all day but when you defend then we are the ones who get muted. Funny how that works.

Its about the law and rigging markets to gamble

Ta, right, no one else gets muted. <EYE ROLL>
Bet I’ve been muted more than you whiners who constantly push the envelope with falsehoods

Like this one

I think the very large majority of general citizens on every political side feels likewise.

Congress is majority in favor, though, and so it remains legal for them.

It's terribly bad to just shrug off.

Let's put aside the moral and character questions,

If our enemies know they can guess our intentions by watching the betting markets because they know we have those that just couldn't help themselves, is that a good thing?

If you've placed very large bets on what you thought was inside information and things start to drift from your wager, are you now going to be tempted to steer things back to what you would profit from?  With lots of personal money on the line you don't think that people in power will start not just investing based on knowledge, but to use power to steer events that best server their investments?

Free helicopter rides for all the ones that contribute to market manipulation and take advantage of insider trading
