We now have online casinos with corrupt backdoor ties to the Trump family letting people bet on the actions of the Trump family. It's not insider trading anymore. It's just the house's cut (infosec.pub)

It is when you're not in power, but Gerald Ford and Barack Obama showed you what happens when it comes time for crimes to be punished.

We'll get another fucking speech like: "We're looking forward and not behind." And it'll mean the criminals get to keep their ill-gotten gains and live in peace.
