Unfortunately, the GOP candidate for the House seat from my district...well, I’d trust him as far as I could throw a Buick. Reminds me too much of Cheney.

This is the 3rd time he’s tried to go to DC, twice as a Senator and this time for the House. This is the first time he’s made it past the primaries. The person he’s going against has been in the House for just one term.

Because of personal moral failings he has that I am aware of (but he has kept that out of his campaign info), I’m pretty sure he would screw us over like Lizard did to her constituents. He only wants to get to DC so he can get those “solid gold goodies” available in DC...much like it looks like Cheney did.

I’m pretty sure I won’t have to worry, though. Given that the congressional district I’m in is so full of Biden-loving, Inslee-loving brain-dead Democrat sheep, I’m fairly sure he (electorially-speaking) will get his lungs ripped out through his nose come the General in November.

The whore Cheney sold herself for dirty money and did it 24x7x365.

That and the fact Cheney is a neocon and votes with anything the military-industrial community wants. I am sure the kickbacks are great because she is daddy’s girl.

Ha!!

Here's about the best story about all that.....

Clinton had no experience in such financial instruments. Bill Clinton's salary as Arkansas Attorney General and then Governor of Arkansas was modest and Clinton later said she had been interested in building a financial cushion for the future.

The Clintons' combined income in 1978 from the governorship and Rose Law Firm amounted to $51,173, equivalent to $212,600 in 2021.

James Blair was a friend, lawyer, outside counsel to Tyson Foods, Arkansas' largest employer, and had been doing so well trading commodities futures that he encouraged friends and family to enter the market too.

Blair in turn traded through, and relied upon cattle markets expertise from broker Robert L. "Red" Bone of Refco, a former Tyson executive.

In October 1978, when Bill Clinton was Attorney General and on the verge of being elected Governor, Clinton opened a trading account, although Blair made most of the trades.

FWIW...I traded futures way back then...with REFCO...Which had a whole floor on one of the Twin Towers...that vanished.

By January 1979, Clinton was up $26,000.. but later, she would lose $16,000 in a single trade. At one point she owed in excess of $100,000 to Refco as part of covering losses, but no margin calls were made by Refco against her.

That was the cheat right there....

Near the end of her trading, Blair correctly predicted a market downturn and sold short, giving her a $40,000 gain in one afternoon.

Red Bone gave her a big, big favor........

In July 1979, once she became pregnant with Chelsea Clinton, "I lost my nerve for gambling walked away from the table $100,000 ahead."

Ain't gambling if you know what you are doing....

She briefly traded sugar futures contracts and other non-cattle commodities in October 1979, but more conservatively, through Stephens Inc.....During this period she made about $6,500 in gains, which she failed to pay taxes on at the time, consequently later paying some $14,600 in federal and state tax penalties in the 1990s. Once her daughter was born in February 1980, she moved all her commodities gains into U.S. Treasury Bonds.

She didn't report any earned income, gifts, or transactions on her disclosure form.

Wow, it's a miracle.

Time to investigate LoserLiz....for the millions she’s made, during her short Congressional term...AND, for the in-kind/Hollywood producer donation, of her major production/minor impact concession speech show.

Money like that comes from oil and land.

Unless you are a dot com guru, there are few other ways to generate that much wealth in six years.

The IRS knows. At least they know what they’ve been told. Get her returns.

The 'Rats want Trump's returns , May have gotten them.
All elected officials should have their IRS tax returns examined on demand.

Insider trading like all swamp congresscritters. The simplest explanation is usually the most accurate

Liz Cheney’s husband is an equity partner in the top law firm in country, Latham & Watkins. That probably accounts for much of the earnings.

Tucker has an unfortunate tendency to overstate, to put it mildly, his case which detracts from many of his segments.

How did Anita Dunn, a political advisor, and her husband, a political counsel, amass a net worth of $48 million? Big government is a racket.
