They should all be hung by law in public. The bureaucrats should be so scared to engage in corruption that they'd rather publicly humiliate themselves for life or sooner leap into a volcano. And these sons of bitches do nothing with that money to actually feed and house the poor. They just buy more expensive shit off the backs of the same people that can barely get by. Many of our own goddamn military are having to go on snap benefits now. We can't even feed our own goddamn soldiers with their pay. We are a joke.

Sore, you know I don't argue. And if you wanna argue about capital punishment then you'll have to do it without me. Now, what I said was is there should be. I didn't say there was a law.

By me taking away the by law part makes me look like I want blood personally. I don't. I want a law to be in place for it for civic justice. Not all libs are against it. Again, I'm not going to argue that. Why? Because you guys tend to get bent all outta shape over one single opinion and hate someone for years because of it. I'm not interested in that. I'd rather be friends. But I'm not changing what I said. I think those in that level of government should be held to the highest levels of conduct.

Site is paywalled

Anyone got a list of names of the ones who were found to be insider trading? If it has the R or D next to their names, even better.

Sedition.

They are acting in their own interests to the express harm of the government.

Treason would be if they were acting on behalf of a foreign power.

They're harming civilians, not the government.
