Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don’t like this guy’s decisions but this is just a guy seeing what the trends are and selling stock.
There’s no insider information, why the fuck is this news?
spoiler
sdfsafYes I did and I don’t think selling stocks that are being affected by a boycott is illegal or proof of partisan motivation.
spoiler
sdfsafInsider trading would be one of the few reasons why this would be illegal which is why I brought it up.
Why is this news in your mind?
AGREED! Why is it news that Justice Alito is LITERALLY doing everything the January 6ers who were found guilty of Sedition are TELLING him to do? It's not like Justice Alito is CREATING Laws for which you and I must follow!
Did they tell him to sell his AB stocks while they were tanking?
spoiler
sdfsafSuspicion of what?
spoiler
sdfsafHow is selling stock that is going down due to a boycott anything to do with Jan 6?
This is rage bait that you’re buying into.
spoiler
sdfsafIn itself, this isn't really news. But that together with the other news about him, I think that's pretty obvious.
Why fight this so hard if this isn't "newsworthy" according to you?
I’m pointing out it’s a goofy thing to be worried about but if you consider it to be fighting hard then you do you.
From the article:
Yeah I was thinking the same, this isn't insider trading. In fact I don't think it's even vaguely sketchy.
spoiler
sdfsafIf the complaint is that the move was politically motivated in violation of the new code of conduct, that code of conduct only came into effect a few months after the shares were bought and sold. Even then, a reasonable argument could be made that he was instead motivated by the shift in share price. Don't get me wrong, I think the dude is a piece of shit that should step down for the good of the country, but this is not where we should be wasting our energy caring about.
