Thus bookies are legal, but if you're a racer you can't bet on your own race. If you're a footballer you can't bet on your own game.

As usual, the powerless will be made examples of, while the powerful get a wink and nudge from their peers.

If trump and his friends can time trades to coincide with war and other economic turmoil caused by the orange fascist what this guy did should be fair game.

The law must be equally applied to all or there is no law.
