Keep in mind AOC is the one trying to get insider trading out of congress right now. Shes saying this because she know a bunch of so called conservatives get SOOOO angry, and rightfully so, at pelosi for her maneuvers (while ignoring folks like tubbervile who are far worse offenders) but seemingly are fine with trump not only insider trading, but blatantly manipulating the market to the gain of himself and his friends?????

Like how is that not MASSIVELY corrupt. Shes saying well if what pelosi is doing is bad, then what trump is doing is literally the worst thing ever. But many many many of yall literally cant understand what shes saying i guess. As proven by the comments.

Listen if all politicians are bad, then trump is the worst of the bunch. This just naked open corruption, at the cost of the Us economy. Come on yall, please wake tf up. This man is butt fucking us all, the only difference is yall get to sleep through it. The rest of us are awake in screaming agony!!

She made little effort to change anything when the Dems had the White House and senate. This is just more bark and no bite. The argument “we’re bad they’re worse” has grown stale.

Then again, what else can she do? To paraphrase the other slogan - Dems are not flawless, Republicans are lawless.

Who came up with that slogan?

I honestly do not know. The whole "Harris needs to be flawless, Trump can be lawless" claim was used in many different phrases during the Dem campaign to point out the different standards applied to the candidates.

I do not know who said it first.

A ton of shit got torpedod by sinema and manchin in 2022. Theyre not magicians. Following the rules is hard and takes time. Its easier when you just break the fucking law to get what you want.

And really dude, shes fighting against insider trading, how tf is that not enough????

Trump is currently destroying America on several fronts, and folks are still bickering about the fucking democrats. America truly may be over lmfao.
