Non-Disclosure Agreements are a giant red flag.Any politician who signs one must be prosecuted immediately for undermining democracy, violating transparency laws and corruption. If someone asks you to sign an NDA, you know something extremely fishy is going on.

Not so sure I’d agree that NDAs are default “fishy”, but you are absolutely correct. And let’s be accurate here. Any Representative who is signing NDAs to hide key information from their constituency, is NOT a Representative. That is a fucking politician. And it’s long past time we make politician a four-letter word.
Those are elected officials. They come crawling, begging for your vote every few years. If they’re guilty of this, that blacklist should shine in Times Square until the mid terms. Remind them and any other cocksucker cunt politician this is what happens when you forget who your actual constituency is.
Hell yes both sides. I may favor one over the other, but integrity for all. Fuck ‘em if they’re guilty. Don’t care what flag they’re waiving. If they can’t Represent, they need to be gone. Plain and simple.
And enough with the fucking Insider Trading. Pelosi should be in prison for suggesting that shit is some kind of Congressional job perk. That only fuels motive for Representatives to act like fucking politicians. Maybe after a market crash we’ll rethink that job perk.

A politician is by definition anyone doing politics. You trying to influence us to agree with you and ideally taking action the way you want it is the very definition of someone doing politics.
You, my friend, are an acting politician.

The American definition of politics turned into an Us vs. Them shit-slinging festival rife with corruption abusing Weapons of Mass Distraction (social media) to hide all the smoke billowing from behind the Congressional Insider Trading curtain that allowed an entire stock market to be corruptly captured by a "magnificent" seven.
That's about as "political" as PT Barnum needed to get.
America is a single country. Those Representatives within their respected districts are supposed to Represent everyone. Even
●nt threshold.

As much as NDA involving public officials is problematic, there can be legitimate grounds for having them, for limited time frames.
When a company is looking to locate to an area, they need to line up land and resources. If everyone knows that company Z is looking to acquire land, speculators may jump in and artificially drive up prices. There can be a few other reasons as well.
Hiding info from the public because the plan is to stick the public with the costs is bad. Look into the shady AF tax diversions.

You want to sign an NDA to stop your business secrets from getting out? Fine.
But that should not let you refuse to talk to the law.
Imagine a crook that says, "I am sorry, but my NDA with the Cartel prevents me from revealing how we get the Cocaine here."
That is NOT any different from a car repair business saying "I am sorry, but my NDA with TESLA prevents me from talking about the safety issues with their breaks.
Or a cop saying his NDA prevents him from revealing how he suspected the criminal.

No, there are plenty of reason why a politician should be signing NDAs. The politicians need to know what will be happening in the future so that they to decisions for that now. To get that information they need info from companies about their plans, and the NDAs just prevent the politicians from making that information public or even profiting from that knowledge(see nancy Pelosi)
