Typical boomer, pulling the ladder up behind her
What, for the next generation of unethical legislators?
🤣
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
More correctly, she’s actually a part of the silent generation.
So that’s why she never spoke out against insider trading
She’s a fucking vampire, and she predates the Salem witch trials where she thinned out the competition.
Huh you’re the third person who said this exact thing
Cool. Also, fuck Nacy Pelosi.
That’s like Trump saying they should ban pedophilia now that he can’t get it up anymore.
You don’t think he’d down a whole case of coke and as many male “enhancement” pills as he can‽
People have actually died from too many enhancement pills…
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”.
Trump will do crypto, is that covered?
If it was itd never pass
By saying she supports it, she knows trump will block it
This is the on-brandest
Twist: It is actually a total ban on all stock trading thus eliminating stock markets forever.
Don’t stop, I’m finna chum
IMBATUKUM
Lol without the context of my comment I was just thinking what the fuck is this dude going on about. But you right
Now that would change things drastically. I would think for the better.
She blocked it when it had a chance of passing. Of course she supports it now that she knows it won’t
Pelosi is the poster child (though “child” in this case is woefully inappropriate) for why such a ban is needed.
If it weren’t for insider trading, she’d be living in a trailer.
The fact that she’s speaking on the topic at all bespeaks a breathtaking level of arrogance and hypocrisy.
If it weren’t for insider trading, she’d be living in a trailer.
I don’t get what the point of saying stupid shit like this is. She had been speaker of the house for years, and in Congress for decades. Making 170-190k/year. That’s not trailer money. Her husband also was wealthy prior to this.
Did they abuse her position for personal gain? Yes.
Would they be poor without it? Fuck no
Is she the worst offender? Also no, but Republicans refuse to admit their own politicians do the same shit, more blatantly and more often. Do she gets criticism from all angles while Republican politicians get it only from the opposition. Being the most prominent member of the house also gave her advise more visibility.
Well, there goes the Nancy ETF.
She’s fucking 85. It’s not like it will fuck up her retirement plan or something.
That’s probably the only way to move things forward though. Implement rules that only affect future politicians. Let the current generation have their cake. We can gradually transition to something more sane as they get replaced.
I loathe agreeing with that, but when a political system is so self-serving, that’s the only way.
It wouldn’t have changed her retirement plans when she blocked the last attempt several years ago
She’s following the Feinstein Retirement Plan.
The fix is in then. We know this greedy inside trader doesn’t want that.
She definitely got some kind of cutout.

Clearly Nancy doesn’t believe in a word that she’s saying. It doesn’t take decades to figure out that you’re getting rich because you have insider knowledge. Which means she knows there’s no chance the legislation would pass, and she’s just grandstanding, and hey that’s better than nothing, so we can give her a golf clap.
It’s cynical, dishonest, manipulative, and completely unproductive.
Based on that alone I completely believe that Nancy Pelosi did the math and realized that Democrats could argue for this out loud maybe even vote for it but there’s no chance that it’ll ever happen so it’s a great chance for her to actually do politics with the voters which I thought she had considered beneath her.
Make it retroactive to Trumps first term and see how much she supports it.
She’s really good at stocks though.
I mean they are. She publicly posted every trade she made for like 2 years and they beat every model out there, and none of the companies had ongoing congressional votes.
Has she made stock trades in the past, probably/possibly. But if you look at the stocks she invests in, it’s mostly all large tech companies. She was up 74% in 2024 which is rediculous. That said NVIDIA was up 190% in 2024, which is where she likely got a lot of her gains. She started trading a bunch in 2020.
That said I’m sure her trading will slow/stop soon enough, it appears her husband just had a kidney transplant (her daughters kidney) so I imagine he’ll kick the bucket soon enough. He’s 85 from what I just saw.
Maybe Warren Buffett should hire her then, since she’s so good at stocks without any insider information at all.
Buffett is what, 480x her worth, with most of his money coming from investment banking as well. The Pelosis out performed him for the last ten years but she only made 250 million in that time supposively.
To put that in perspective buffet makes her net worth twice a month. That’s at 5% growth, and the 10 year market average is over 10. Meaning he really should be making $1 billion dollars a month with average market investments.
If you have money to invest the markets make you stupid money, the problem is that most people will never have money to invest like they do. Then again if everyone did, inflation would skyrocket as well.
Our capitalistic system is designed around those who get ahead taking off, and the majority griding day after day filling their pockets. Banning Congress from trading stocks may help some day, but only if there was some way to make people impregnable to greed. Otherwise guess what, Buffet who wasn’t in Congress keeps going, Pelosi’s kids take control of assets and invest, the Trump organization is split between names, so nothing stops Ivanka/Jr/the rest of them from making the trades. Hell they can just make the trades in their kids names and the kids can say they are just taking care of their elderly parents anytime they want to buy something. (Those people are to old to use anything really) But the same principle applies elsewhere.
Its better to just make strict regulations with a 3rd party investigative body… or put wealth caps, or if we could, come up with a new system. A democracy would be nice. A democratic communist society could be nice as well. Haven’t seen many of those outside of small pirate crews.
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.
