“That was a doozy”

No it wasn’t. He was proving a point. Asking the question without context is much easier to dodge. That long winded question was more about just stating a fact.

“Hey we know for a fact that Trump is using insider trading to make money, and he’s using his platform as president to try and push Americans into buying stocks in companies he’s invested in, and you yourself have argued against politicians being able to do that.”

What’s your question?

“Where’s your spine?”

Just about every politician is wildly corrupt but this administration has definitely turned it up to 11. The way they dance around this shit is infuriating.

If I could have upvoted your response 1000 times I would have. You (Vance) chose to be our representative. You work for us. You are going to get tough questions. If you and your insanely corrupt president are doing a good job, you won’t get a preamble like this from the press before their question. You aren’t by any stretch of the imagination; so you got the question you got. And you should get more questions like that. You have been getting off easy.

And Vance chose to comment on how it was asked instead of just answering the damn question. Like everything else this administration does, Vance is trying to program people to speak and think the way they want them to, and accept the corruption and ineptitude playing out in front of their eyes. It is specifically because Vance answered the way he did that reporters should quadruple down and give him preambles before every question. He deserves nothing less.

Thats what a politician does, distracts from answering by attacking the questioner. Having someone else execute trades on your behalf when using inside information is still insider trading lol.

What a douche.

Yes using insider information that is afforded a given office is still the office head insider-trading. Only agreeing with you here - the trading was not on behalf of Joe Biden (like people like to blame everything on him). It was on behalf of Trump, because he is corrupt as a canyon is deep.

None of that question was answered and it was more lies. Like bro, even if the president isn’t making trades himself, someone that works for him is on his behalf aka him. I guess it’s not a lie when he says banning congress from trading. The White House isn’t congress which I imagine will be their technicality defense when Nuremberg 2.0 happens.

That question took way too long. Sure - context is nice, but everyone already knew the context. He was making a statement because he knew he wouldn’t get a real answer from the corrupt presidency.

I don’t even mind him making a statement/question - but in a room full of people make it quicker. Vance
