Russia has invaded a sovereign neighboring state and threatens a democratic government elected by its people. Such an action is unacceptable in the 21st century.

I have even less patience with left wing bull*feces* than I do right wing:

According to Dayspring, Cantor owns $3,327 in the ProShares trust. His congressional pension in the Thrift Savings Plan, on the other hand, is invested in the G Fund of government bonds and is valued at over $263,000. The value of his investment in the ProShares fund is highly variable and could change significantly if the government defaults.

So he has 1 percent invested in a short position?

There's plenty out there to get outraged about, this isn't even on the richter scale.

I can't accept it if anyone buys me a $25.00+ dinner while on a conference trip.
Is that stupid? Probably.  However that's literally orders of magnitude less $ involved than this Cantor (or anyone else )deal.

Was the 3 grand a gift? I think the guys a tool, but I'm really not seeing the outrage.
