USA Politics

Nancy Mace stated just recently that FBI investigated Donald Trump for criminal sexual predatory stuff and that there are loads and loads of rich and powerful people being redacted and protected in the files. Even Boebert is absolutely disgusted with this Democrat hoax.
 
I can see Nancy Mace pulling an MTG and just bailing out of Congress. Greene got pissed the state/national GOP apparatus wouldn't support her to run for senate, the same thing is happening with Mace's bid for South Carolina governor where she's coming in third or worse in each primary poll that's come out.

Just a random observation about the U.S.

As far as I understand, members of Congress aren’t prohibited from trading stocks. One of the most prominent examples is (or was) Nancy Pelosi. I mean, her stock-trading track record - the returns, the net gains - seemed almost unreal. Some freedom-loving folks might argue that politicians have every right to participate in the market like anyone else. But to me, especially considering her apparent win rate, it inevitably raises eyebrows and casts a shadow of doubt. Really? She managed all that without any insider knowledge? I personally find that hard to believe.

And if she truly was just a stock-trading beast - and I’m not simply absorbing disinformation or meme-driven narratives - then it still means she leveraged her political status to enrich herself.

It may not be illegal in the U.S., so technically there’s no crime there. But for me…
Yeah, maybe in the end that’s just my issue.

I even googled it, just to make sure I had at least minimal accuracy. There was a Yahoo article titled: “Nancy Pelosi Outperformed Nearly Every Hedge Fund in 2024 - Even Beating the Infamous Inverse Cramer Stock Tracker.”

Are we really sure there’s no problem here? A politician - presumably, possibly - using certain information for personal gain? Huh.
 
Yes, it's a problem. But the vast majority in Congress wants to keep it like it is, because they trade on inside information, so any stock ban motions get voted down instantly. Politicians rarely miss a beat when it comes to lining their own pockets. One prime example of that is if you serve one term in congress, you get free healthcare for life. One set of rules for the political class, another set for the working class.

Like I said, just a random thought. I’d actually known about this for five to seven years already - I only brought it up to say that I think this kind of behavior should at least be reviewed, and possibly changed.

Also, I found your reply a bit passive-aggressive. Was there really nothing you could say about the substance of my point? Or did you just want to nudge me into second-guessing myself a little? You naughty leftie. (Now I’m being a bit aggressive in return.) Ha.

That's what happens when Twitter is being used as the main source of political news.

Is there even a single person on this forum who is a fan of Nancy Pelosi?

Oh look - here we go again. I only posted something observational - maybe not exactly breaking news, but still a reasonable question - and they all seem so agitated. I’m late to the party, sure, I’m a Twitter sucker and all that. But still… Houston, we have a problem. The lefties are still out of their minds. :rolleyes:

You misinterpreted my comment. What I meant with "are there even Pelosi fans here" is:

Go after her, and after any politician who is doing insider trading. I don't think anyone in this thread would disagree with that. I can't imagine anyone here would defend her. Unlike the MAGA folks, we "lefties" don't have unconditional loyalty for every Democrat. If they break laws they should be held accountable, regardless of if they are blue or red.
