Trump-loving Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) came out firmly against a ban on lawmakers buying and selling stocks while in office.
In an interview with the UK Independent newspaper, Tuberville said that he worried fewer quality candidates would run for office if they didn’t have the ability to personally profit from it in addition to the generous taxpayer-funded salary they receive.
“"I think it’s ridiculous,” Tuberville said. “They might as well start sending robots up here… I think it would really cut back on the amount of people that would want to come up here and serve.”
which is to say, being able to game the stock market is an integral part of working in public office

@austexother I feel you, and I appreciate your passion. but “degenerate” has some specific political connotations that are pretty horrific. like these lawmakers are scum, but please don’t call them degenerates. it originates from race science. tempus-fuckit liked this
