They tried to ask Pelosi and Boehner about it at the time and they refused to answer. There were people clamoring about it but it went nowhere. It's def shady and should be illegal.

headhunter Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Definitely agree. We really should vote out career politicians and come up with a way of term limits. But that'll never happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Earl Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Pelosi makes up to $30 Million on Insider stock trades, and scoffs at push to ban congressional trades. https://nypost.com/2022/01/07/nancy-pelosi-makes-30-million-from-tech-stocks-scoffs-at-push-to-ban-congressional-trades/ Kevin McCarthy said he is considering limiting or barring lawmakers from holding or trading stocks and equities if Republicans gain a majority in the House in November.

Starkiller Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Why exactly are you calling out Pelosi? You think it’s specifically just her??? Both parties are a problem here. Just make it against the law for public officials to own individual stocks. Let them buy mutual funds, index funds, etc. Make them put their portfolios in a blind trust. Whatever.

The idea that this is partisan is a joke. It’s on both sides and it’s why term limits is the only option. There a reason why the old folks will never let go of their power. in the startup world it’s called building a “moat” when you block competitors from a market oppty. That effectively what these career politicians have done by holding on to power the way they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Pelosi is being targeted specifically because people are starting to look at her investments for tips because she's so active and makes so much money. You guys are wrong if you think the motivation is partisan. That site, and the people I've seen talking about her, are just looking to make money themselves lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 This is why Dems want “voting rights” and republicans oppose them. Its not about doing whats right, constitutional, or fair. Its about power. The majority party controls committees and bills- more potential monies for themselves and for their cronies. They have some pablum for their constituents- gun rights, guaranteed income, CRT, health insurance, etc. Bills that do not have any effect or implications to their lifestyle or ability to continue making big bucks. Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, Lamar, etc. are all guilty and should be jailed. None give a shit about America and would gladly have given our enemies in the past whatever in exchange for money. That trough today is China. Scream all you want but Perot was on point. Trump had a chance but his shortcomings drew fire from all directions. Now you got the quintessential insider career crook in place. Rhetoric aside, most on both sides of the aisle are making bucks while we vehemently argue masks and other essentially unimportant crap. Its the equivalent of arguing over a 7th round draft pick while the owner makes billions and finagles a.new stadium paid for by…us. They will never allow term limits, investing checks, or significant public oversight. When the motherfuckers talk about American style Democracy ideals abroad, they are rightfully derided for their obvious hypocrisy and self interest. So we will continue to insult each other and argue over bullshit while the fuckers drink Opus 1, fly to exotic locations on paid junkets, live lavishly, solicit contributions, and run for re-election. Fuck every one of these motherfucking fucks…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
