How many times have we seen this sort of corrupt self dealing in favor of the establishment elites and their close associates? It is shaping up already to happen again here.
The system has become so corrupt they don't even feel like they need to hide it any more, because now they control the institutions the public had heretofore used to hold them accountable.

We've got some rough times ahead of us.

Just more proof that politics is about favors and deals. We know what Strzok did. But keep in mind most government jobs even at the lower levels require a political reference. So who was the politician that acted as reference just to get into the FBI. An appointee like Yellen had to lobby for the fed and treasury jobs long in advance even if it networking with politicians 10 years ago.

The question is are they there as payment for a favor or will they owe someone?

let's see....invest $300....get a 38cent dividend....woo hoo....take that fat cats I'm making bank!



Not the way to play it really. I bought 2 shares of AMC to represent movie night. Now do you think big money with da guberment and their complicit members in the press might have a little racket? AMCs market is controlled by da guberment and then the fat cats have big leverage granted to them for this controlled burn. Since I have the $25 saved from not going to the movies its just more cheap entertainment. With 2 shares I will never make enough to make it worth selling, so I won't. That should be the only money in it really. I will be far more entertained than any movie, for sure.

Buying stock for dividends? That's so 1950s.

Yep. That appears to be exactly where we are at. This regime does not give the tinniest particle of a damn about the American people. Only about the establishment elites and their extent of their power, dominance and control.

When they finally do act, in all likelihood, you will be surprised to see what that action actually consists of and why. You may at that point be wishing that the Biden* regime had not acted so fast.

Because there's nothing else for them to do, right?? Like maybe pass a stimulus bill maybe? /sarcasm
what parts of any "stimulus bill" need to get passed?

In that case, I stand corrected. You are not likely to be surprised.

some. Not all. Could be 50%+, could be under 50%. I mean, a Nov 18 poll put it at 52%. Certainly that % is down by now.

That poll was 'fake news,' as the election polls shortly before the election also were, and the percentage of people on the right that realized that the election was stole was surely much higher.

And that is not ever likely to change among the substantial majority of those people.
