*Second-best performing Congressional stock portfolio owner Nancy Pelosi

When will the US population have had enough of this abysmal Trump presidency?

Not to defend Pelosi, but Trump has made more stock trades this term than all 538 members on Congress combined.

how many trades outside of a blind trust is an appropriate amount for any member of the three branches of government to be making?

We agree on the problem, just maybe not the target. I mean, hell. You, yourself, gave the #1 Congressional member a pass in order to shit on Pelosi.

I’m not giving anyone a pass. My concern is that the frothy attention to stock trades will miraculously die down if the Ds take control.

In which case, no, maybe we don’t agree on the target. They should all be targeted equally.

The all are equally guilty way of thinking, when you have Trump as the president, might be why you got him in that position in the first place.

As your neighbour, if it's all the same to you, I wouldn't mind if you voted against the ones who are actively threatening us. Thanks

There will be plenty of time to shit on the Dems when they get back in power. Guys like B won't do it, but me and Trag will be ready.

I don't think anyone should be doing it, and I've never heard any liberal defend stock trading by any member of Congress.

Maybe target the guy who starts unpopular military conflicts to influence markets a little but more though.

In an incredibly hot field of the most detestable
Republican/trump cronies including Mike Johnson, Stephen miller, Pete hegseth, Ken Paxton et al. ( and trump himself) I don’t think anyone heads Scott Besent as a truly despicable piece of work. Such a smug, lecherous sycophant. Absolutely gormless.

Apparently he is very very very rich, so he is doing trumps bidding purely for the profile and the power, I’ve never seen such a spineless, duplicitous and deceitful person hold office anywhere or in anything quite like thiis guy.

You can hear the contempt dripping off his tongue when presented with facts. Has absolute disdain for the people.
