Matt Wuerker for January 22, 2022

That would be like a professional sports league allowing its players to bet on the sport in which they play.

I believe that all members of Congress should have to place all of their Stock Investments in a blind trust for as long as they remain in Congress.

Not on the outside, the ticker would be on the house floor.

The only stocks legally allowed for members of Congress should be made of wood, each with holes for a head, hands, and feet.

Republicans traded democracy for fascist rule.

Again, they do it in plain view, arrogantly, knowing we won’t/can’t do anything about it. What times we live in!

Only incurable optimi$t$ would think that the member$ of "Con"gre$$ would voluntarily vote to cut off a major $ource of their bribe$ and In$ider Trading Income!!

There shouldn’t be any perks for being in Public Service. That includes protection from prosecution for Crimes against the Constitution, any Person (Citizen or not) or the institutions set up to prevent those crimes.

That’s why those that supported or defended the Assault of January 6th should be tried for their Treason and punished to the full penalty defined under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Their argument that they were the Patriots is patently flawed at its core and no Defense at all.

A small reward for all the personal sacrifices they make to deliver the very best policies and public services to all the American people         .        .        .        /s

Of COURSE they did! Should have expected nothing less……

This is like the inmates running the asylum and shows poorly for both parties.

Heaven forbid there would be any ethics

Congress was designed to make rules for others

Ahh, corruption at its finest!

Miss yesterday’s Wuerker cartoon? Click left.

SEX seems to be holding steady.

I don’t think they’ve voted yet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/01/16/spanberger-roy-ossoff-insider-trading/

that is what I call a license to steal

Hmmm. We could take the law to the Supreme Court, but we already know how that would go….SCOTUS would say it’s OK, democracy be damned.

Their stock purchases and trades should be made public in real time.

Here come the lobbyists.

Vote the bums out!

Just another accepted form of corruption.

“There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”…Mark TwainAnd every year that observation has become more and more astute.

I have been saying this to friends and family for years. Nice to see someone else finally see it and state it. How else do representatives get richer while in office. They vote their back pockets.

It’s like giving cops a cut of each ticket they give out
