Huh, the billionaire hedge fund traders get rolled, and the DOJ wakes up.

Didn’t seem to have a problem when the shorts were choking the stock.

When a government gets too big and corrupt it turns into a casino. And all the games are rigged at the Oasis, and if you’ve learned how to game their own games, Rocky and Knuckles will want to have a talk with you outside.

But they can't be bothered to investigate an election's result changing mysteriously and dramatically after election day.

What about YEARS of manipulation by Hedge Funds and others on Wall Street? Really? The only way to remove corruption from this country is genocide by an invader. May be what God has in mind.

Members of Congress want to know how they missed out on the money grab so it doesn’t happen again.

I’m not sure how, but I think they may impeach Trump over this whole GameStop thing.
