The first trade was placed 72 minutes before the news broke.

1. You got no proof Donald Trump, Jr utilized insider trading

SO STOP SAYING THAT!

5. Way before my time.

From the dates in that post, it's been at least 20 years, so probably before a lot of people's time.

6. Back in the day, Bob Boudelang's rebuttals were hilarious.

Unfortunately the author, DUer something? Birch couldn’t stop locking horns in the gun dungeon, and after repeated warnings, got tossed.

Students of social criticism and political satire really miss his regular DU installments.
