"Loyalty outranks law."
“This is a theft far worse than Watergate… They are stealing $1.78 BILLION dollars to pay Trump’s allies…” — The Intercept
Donald Trump’s immoral justification for stealing $1.7 billion dollars of our tax money to create a slush fund to pay off January 6th felons is that “loyalty outranks law.” [1] [2]
“Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.” — Donald Trump, convicted of 34 felonies
We are all absolutely fed up with the rising cost-of-living, the over-the-top corruption, and constant chaos… but this is so over the top, even GOP Senators are calling it “stupid.” [3]
But, our Congressman, John Rutherford? Not a word. He has no qualms it seems with the costs, corruption and chaos ruining our economy.
Remember what Trump said recently? —
“We can’t take care of daycare. We’re a big country. We’re fighting wars. It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.” [4]
No funding for daycare, but plenty of cash for violent felons.
Fortunately, Democrats are fighting back with legislation to stop Trump from stealing our tax dollars! [5]
And, another thing that has us salty… When is Congress going to pass the ban on insider stock trading already?!?
Of course John Rutherford — a habitual insider-stock-trading offender — is in no hurry to curb his lucrative, shady side hustle.[6] [7]
But the recent news that Trump initiated “3,700 stock trades worth somewhere between $220 million and three-quarters of a billion dollars” during the first three months of 2026 should absolutely compel Congress to act!
This is what a criminal insider-trading racket looks like:
“Trump bought Nvidia on February 10. Days later, Nvidia announced a major deal with Meta, and the stock jumped roughly 2.5 percent. He sold Microsoft and Amazon in February, then bought millions more in March, shortly before the Pentagon announced it would put its technology into classified computer networks…” [8]
If you or I did anything like this, we would be in handcuffs.
Members of the Epstein class like Donald Trump and John Rutherford think there are no consequences for their corruption.
They are wrong — we are the consequences!
We must defeat Rutherford and demand Congress hold itself and the Trump crime family accountable.
