Brilliant. A bot that buys/sells stocks after Congresscritters buy/sell stocks. It is up 20% during a period the market was flat.

So I was watching one of Trump's lawyers outside the courtroom in NYC today, where they said something like "in 33 years of practicing law that's the best testimony a client has ever given". And I'm thinking to myself this isn't a stupid person saying this, but it sure reminds me of something ... something ... and ...

I realized what it is.

In the original "The Twilight Zone" episode "It's a Good Life" (1963), Billy Mumy plays a little boy who is described by Serling as a monster, who can kill anybody, create horrors of all kinds, simply with his mind.

And the adults all live in abject fear of being turned into something horrible and being killed and being "buried in the cornfield."

"It's good that you killed that, Anthony!"

"That's a really fine two-headed gopher you made there Anthony!"

They all said wonderful things about him, for fear of his retribution if they didn't.

One of the most famous of all Twilight Zone episodes. And there it was, in front of a NYC courtroom today. No closing narration by Rod Serling required.
