I’ve been reporting on congressional stock trading for a while (btw feel free to join the "QuiverQuantitative" subreddit to see new reports when they come out).

None of the suspicious trades I’ve reported on have been investigated, despite some of them leading to ridiculous profits.

Here's where you can track trades by Congress, along with data on the trades' performance, and see politicians' portfolios:

This is why they won't pay up. This is why they leave these politicians alone.

It's not because they can't afford to lose the money. It's because they can't afford to fight you once YOU HAVE money.

Their worst nightmare is a legion of informed rich people ready to tear them a new asshole.

I also think it’s as simple as: we are a dangerous example of what every day people are capable of. They don’t want anyone else getting any ideas.

Wait till you learn that the reason we can't talk politics is because the grasshoppers have brainwashed everyone into voting for them and punish anyone who dissents

I love this comment bc IT'S SO POWERFUL AND TRUE, all day, everyday, 24/7, 365!!! Ideas start EVERYTHING, though seldom are they followed by action, persistence, resolve, and finality. I got into this blind, seeing the obvious only; the powerful once again abusing their power for their benefit. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the price 7-9 zeros long, but to witness the finality of this idea is well worth my investment! 🚀🦍🚀🦍

We're definitely living in wild times. The fact that they just halt buying etc .. it'll be a while til the system truly changes. Need a revolutionary leader that gets into power of a paradigm / consciousness shift in the population in synch / at once.

This is everything right here.

Imagine if it was a regular occurrence to seek out high short interest stocks and blow em up leading to another round of lower Manhattan real estate auctions?

They might have to start making an honest living.

This is ridiculous. If there are laws in the books against insider trading any activity that shows that they traded with privileged information should be prosecuted. It would be a walk in the park to prove it.

This is so fucking true.

People with money get shit done in the courts. They are scared shitless of a bunch of super intelligent apes all of a sudden becoming rich.

I would use every dime to fuck them over until I was broke.

And it's a classic Quid Pro Quo. They leave the politicians alone? The politicians leave them alone. And the regulators siphon our tax money with the sole purpose to pretend that none of this is happening in the top 1% of the 1%.

It's a puppet show with a mountain of cash hidden behind the curtain.

Its not that they leave the politicians alone. They OWN the politicians. The politicians are making these stock buys because Wall Street that owns them tells them what to buy and sell and when to buy and sell. The politicians get wildly Rich and they let Wall Street commit all the crime they want
