Drunk Pete committing crimes.....No way!!! (sarcasm) They are ALL in it.....and have personal gains to go to war!!! They are willing to sacrifice soldiers for a little profit.....? Yep.

I may have put a file together. #HegsethHellNo Was created to stop his nomination! Vance gave us War crazy Pete! Hegseth Morally bankrupt, women Abuser, christian Nationalist & incompetent Man!

When the Dems win back the Presidency, which they will. Not because they’ve improved but because Trump has lost it. I don’t want to see them do what Biden did and normalise the right. Treat them the way Donald treats them.

Per FT, a Morgan Stanley broker contacted BlackRock in February about allocating funds into a defense-focused ETF tied to contractors like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, companies that typically surge during military escalation. 2/

The investment ultimately did not go through, but the timing—given Hegseth’s central role in pushing Iran policy—is already raising major scrutiny. 3/

Lockheed Martin sells overpriced outdated military equipment. This is propping up an uncompetative monopoly & lining private peoples pockets via insider training. War is a racket

Insider trading being done by trumps corrupt administration is appalling.. they are blatantly in full transparency doing inside trading!! I can hardly wait when they investigate the whole lot of this administration!!

“…raising major scrutiny,” Really!!?? Scrutiny!!?? How can it not raise a major INDICTMENT???!?!? Across the board we are watching a blatantly criminal enterprise rape (their favorite thing) our democracy with no recourse. Our Founding Fathers really missed this level of human corruption.

Eh. The defense contractors have been told privately and publicly to speed up production. That’s gonna drive stock prices. The amount of weapons expended in Iran depleted the stock. This is common market knowledge.

Take the profit out of war and you would see far fewer wars. 125 people a day are killed in the US. 46K died from guns last year. Weapons are the issue.

Yeah, this is a real issue. The STOCK Act was meant to curb this kind of thing, but enforcement’s been spotty — only 3 members of Congress fined for violations in 2023, and none faced serious consequences.

Follow the freaking money! Their Cabinet are uneducated losers getting filthy rich on insider trading, kickbacks, and Trump’s son in law Kushner in Russia, Middle East, and Israel. Plain Jane person like me sees it…VOTE 💙

Trump said he wanted to build a “Golden Dome” while he was running. You don’t need to be an insider to know buying defense stocks with Trump in charge was a good idea. Sounds like a made up scandal….

Has anyone introduced impeachment proceedings against this a-hole? If true, the penalty should be severe. He is gambling with the lives of our service members and that is completely unacceptable.

Hegseth should be charged for insider trading immediately. Massive bets have been placed immediately before all of Trump's major policy announcements. This crooked Administration is making billions without any care for who gets hurt. Bring them to justice!

This is no longer about isolated cases. China’s crackdown now targets entire systems — tracing responsibility across finance, local governments, and beyond. bsky.app/profile/zach... #China #Governance #Policy #AntiCorruption

“学查改”持续升温,反腐进入新阶段。 短短40天内,多名高官密集落马——从金融监管到地方政府,从国有银行到退役军人事务系统,反腐风暴正全面铺开。国家金融监督管理总局副局长周亮被查,再次释放明确信号:整治已不再停留于个案,而是向系统性“倒查”深入推进。 这不仅是查人,更是在查链条、查责任、查历史。 反腐的逻辑,正在从“点”走向“面”。 #反腐 #金融监管 #政策观察 #张雪峰

Oh c’mon, guys. What’s the big deal? This is nothing more than a little advance financial planning. After all, it’d be foolish to let a senseless, opportunistic war go to waste—dont’cha think?

What's worse? Staggering corruption or unprecedented incompetence? I hope the world survives this period of untold chaos, cruelty, & corruption by US gov. Dude of War, 🍊💩, & Cabinet of ghouls are responsible for so much death, stress, & misery around the world & our congress went home on vacation. 🤬

HEGSETH NEEDS TO BE WORRIED. HE WONT SURVIVE THIS. HE’S NOT SAFE! THIS IDIOT WILL GO TO PRISON, SUFFER & BE LOCKED UP FOR LIFE! He’s deeply sick,Insane & disturbed individual.He’s a NAZI, Confederate, & believes in that IDEOLOGY. HE’S A CRIMINAL & WILL PAY FOR ALL HIS WAR CRIMES & HIS MURDERS

This entire "administration" should be afraid of being indicted. From the orange stain on down, they have violated their oath of office, the constitution, the rule of law, due process & the will of the people. Each member of this regime should be indicted, tried, convicted & sent to jail. DISGRACE!

I knew Shitler would tank stocks so I switched to stable funds. I knew he'd start a war and never thought to buy 'military industrial' stocks. So I'm only half-smart.

It's a shame we don't have a Senate or House Armed Services Committee staffed by people unafraid of hammering and charging profiteers disguised (not well, but disguised) as garden-variety alcoholic, faux-macho Cabinet Secretaries.

trump & regime are going nowhere unless physically removed, mark my words. We have j6, starting wars without approval, killing legal citizens & NO ONE STOPS THEM.... as examples! Remember..... physically removed. ✌🏻💔

We The Poor, middle working class run this country, the handful of billionaires and dipshit donald duck & regime dont. We wouldn't even need half our truckers to shut down, this country would buckle aka start DEMANDING ARRESTS, CHANGES ETC!

I'd say that there needs to be a deep investigation into Blackrock. But unfortunately the FBI and DOJ are being run by lunatics, sellouts and sycophants. Since even in Trump's 1st admin they likely would've been out of office by now. And are likely still around because of their Epstein info.

Sure looks like Hegseth has a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth. Gonna get soldiers killed playing BIG SHOT! A drunk, a wife beater, a Christian Nationalist and an insecure EGOMANIAC. Time for him to get him FIRED!

Everyone SHOULD watch! MSNOW Reporter David Noriega described what he sees as a rogue state—something NEVER said this plainly on cable news!🤦🏿‍♂️

Notorious VOG@notoriousvog.bsky.social

Everyone SHOULD watch! Even on MSNOW—where coverage is pro-Israel, incld @chrislhayes.bsky.social—David Noriega delivered a rare, sober, unvarnished account of Israel. He described what he sees as a rogue state—something NEVER said this plainly on cable news. Hayes moved on like it didn’t happen!🤦🏿‍♂️

No, it’s not just #BenjaminNetanyahu, it's most of Israel. And if they keep shielding Israel—they own all the hate too.🤦🏿‍♂️

Notorious VOG@notoriousvog.bsky.social

How does @ms.now’s @chrislhayes.bsky.social cover settler violence but ignoring Israel legalizing the hanging of Palestinians? That’s the media Israeli bias—echoed by prominent Dems like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social. No, it’s not just Netanyahu. And if they keep shielding Israel—they own thier hate.🤦🏿‍♂️

Making money out of a bloody, hopeless, illegal war he personally promoted. The new ethical and moral low of a shameless statesman. But what could you expect from a leader of a Dept. of War🤮

Lol. And eople are surprised? How many times do people have to tell you all that you let the evil theiving rich unconstitutional arristocrats in to the white house & now they're going to rob you blind. Enjoy, or revolt.

These people are too stupid to know how to do these things without being led by the nose to wide open corruption. But why not? They’re getting away with every fucking cent they’re stealing without any push back.

Ya… well, throw it on the list of terrible things that no one in your country is doing a godamn thing about. Apparently, you have a lawless govt and that’s ok. People may whine and moan but he is literally hell bent on destroying the world and you watch.
