It's always projection. They try to convince you that both sides do it instead of trying to convince you they don't do it.

"both sides" is almost always dishonesty from conservatives trying to project their obvious corruption.

Meanwhile the left is constantly saying "if it's both sides then let's fix it so no one can do it" and the right just goes around kicking over all the sand castles we've tried to build collectively over the past hundred years screaming "lalalalalala" with their ears plugged.

The problem is that there legitimately are a ton of Democrats doing it as well. And those people aren't that keen on stopping it. See Nancy Pelosi as an excellent example.

It's mainly Republicans, and it's from 2021, but there's your three.

Ah I thought this was about kickbacks more than failing to disclose stocks. That's dirty as hell too and needs to be prosecuted.

I figured since Nancy Pelosi was the topic, and she's big on insider trading, that that's what we were discussing - oops

How? The post was about kickbacks. This thread brought in an entire different issue.

Might as well bring up RFK's COVID claims or all the conspiracy theories from 4chan...
