i guess I'm having a hard time understanding why the taxpayers have to subsidize bad behavior. if someone else gets to pay for the payoff, whats the incentive for them to NOT do it again?
Same as the reasoning why Nancy Pelosi and all the rest of them get to steal from people via insider trading manipulations, legislating against companies and industries they can also invest in.
The claim that was made that if they were not allowed to steal, then the baseline salary for congresspeople wouldn't be enough to keep and retain 'the very best'. Because clearly thats what maxine waters is.
Since they 'disclose' their trades in printed form, stored in the locked basement of a building that nobody can access.. its all legit! It counts as full disclosure!
Maybe rapists, murders, thieves of other stripe, and every other criminal justifies their actions in the same way.

Zero. That's the plan.

When you reward bad behavior….
Democrats have a reason that they cannot grasp this concept; because it’s how they earn their keep
