Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Typical boomer, pulling the ladder up behind her

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What, for the next generation of unethical legislators?

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Boomer. lol no. Words do have meaning and you’re using that word wrong. She predates the baby boomers, that’s how fucking old she is

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More correctly, she’s actually a part of the silent generation.

[–] Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So that's why she never spoke out against insider trading

Huh you're the third person who said this exact thing

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 week ago

Cool. Also, fuck Nacy Pelosi.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's like Trump saying they should ban pedophilia now that he can't get it up anymore.

lol, she already made her money. I agree with removing it, but that’s a very boomer way of seeing…. “I’ve got mine, so fuck you”.

[–] rhvg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump will do crypto, is that covered?

If it was itd never pass

[–] Notserious@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By saying she supports it, she knows trump will block it

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

This is the on-brandest

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Twist: It is actually a total ban on all stock trading thus eliminating stock markets forever.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, there goes the Nancy ETF.

[–] GhostPain@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Make it retroactive to Trumps first term and see how much she supports it.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

She's really good at stocks though.

To everyone here dismissing this and saying “too little too late..”

What are republicans doing or saying that comes even close to this?

Like sure this is bullshit, but can anyone say when republicans even came close to the lowest fake ass shit you’d pretend this to be ?

Hey, she already got her millions, so who cares. In fact, she's a hero for supporting this legislation that would have prevented her insider-trading husband from accumulating so much wealth had it been in place when she took office. Let's throw her a parade.

Trump Says He Doesn’t Really Know About It

I feel like this is a big list.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

I don't trust these kinds of bills because voters don't know enough to have a say.

Politicians will announce policy MONTHS in advance. People don't care because CNN or whatever didn't make it consumable. And then politicians make moves on the stock market. And then people accuse them of insider trading.

The last few times Pelosi has went viral, the policies were hashed out ad nauseum and even made headlines well in advance. Way before she made her moves.

People have no idea what's going on and then a bill like this appears?

Edit: the amount of people who take this further is rare. It's all about "insider trading." But what about the things they actually do to profit off governance?

Dang. I was already up 30% by mirroring her portfolio. Now we'll have to play fair again if we cant know her trades.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Says the highest stock earner in Congress.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Lol. She's got her $200mil, she can pretend to care at this point.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I got excited for a second thinking she came out as the crypt keeper.

Whatever. She knows it won't happen while she's alive/in office, and just wants brownie points for being on the right side of history.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Nancy is a fascist and needs to be taken out with the rest of the trash
