Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

It’s a little late for that.
It's never too late for neoliberals to fuck shit up...
Pelosi just threw her weight around to get a 74 year old with terminal throat cancer as the head of the oversight committee...
Even tho he just broke the already weak insider trading laws 2 years ago.
Biden can mumble whatever he wants into a microphone, but it's never connected to the reality around him.
If he really wanted this to happen, he'd have pushed for AOC over Connolly
If he really wanted this to happen, he’d have pushed for AOC over Connolly
If he'd wanted it to happen, he'd have pushed through Pelosi's HR 1 back inside his first 100 days, rather than sitting on this for his last three weeks.
Liberals are going to be doing so much "You could have had nice things if you hadn't voted for Trump" whining and complaining and hand wringing over the next two years. Its going to be awful. But none of them want to talk about how they had both Exec and Leg branches of government twice in the last sixteen years and deliberately squandered it sucking up to Big Business both times.

I can hear Michael Cole from WWE:
Vintage Biden
Pelosi won't let that happen.
I'd be fine with congressional stock trading if congress members were required to immediately report trades instead of the 45 days or so they are currently legally required to
nah, they should be forced to divest. Insider trading at an extreme. If you or I commit insider trading it's jail time.
If they wish to invest, it should be in a fund that is managed for them by people without insider knowledge.
Nah, they already got their money by then. Their trades go through first then everyone else's? And prereporting trades is ripe for stock manipulation. They should not be able to personally manage a portfolio and imho insider trading should carry hefty corruption penalties for congress.
I'd only be okay with it if those trades were reported and published publicly within the hour of the trade.
Let everyone benefit from inside trader or do the right thing and make everyone subject to the law.
I thought that was currently the case they just had a 45 day max reporting timeline, unless my Nancy pelosi clone portfolio has been lying to me. Apparently her average reporting time is 14 days
Just curious... How is your Pelosi clone portfolio going? Is it a legitimate investment strategy compared to the usual suggestion of index funds?
So far over the past year I've had it active, I'm up 40%. It seems to be working well, I have it automated through a service called Autopilot and it has already paid for itself. I wish I put more into it at the start but so far I've got no complaints.
There's two ETFs now for tracking democrat trades and republican trades if you have any interest in tracking this kind of portfolios performance! I don't think there's an ETF for Nancy specifically but she's definitely a part of the dem ETF
Cool, I tried looking it up.
Seems like the tickers are NANC (D) and KRUZ (R)
Are those the ones you are taking about? If so, I love the tickers.
That would be so funny if the ETF for the Dems was called Nancy
