Five days before the U.S. military invaded Venezuela, deposing its leader, Nicolás Maduro, from his office without congressional approval, Mullin purchased stock in RTX Corp., a defense contract company, as well as in oil companies Chevron and ConocoPhillips.

Those three companies have seen their stock prices increase since that time, going up following that military action in Venezuela and rising more after Trump launched an unauthorized war in Iran. As of Monday, Conoco’s stock was up by 30 percent, Chevron’s by 26 percent, RTX’s by around 15 percent, since the time Mullin made his stock purchases.

    Bro’s Mom named him like he was an afterthought and forgot to fix it.

    That’s got to be the story of every conservative douchebag, a product of addiction and mental illness.
