Deluge Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 5 hours ago, Hodad said: Hawley is such a sniveling worm. This is pure partisan hackery and a gross publicity stunt. Such legislation is long overdue. It's been proposed over and over again in both the house and the senate without success. Someday it will happen. The concept is great, but if Hawley actually cared about doing good instead of getting his name in the papers he wouldn't have given his version this silly name, which is a poison pill. You can't build bipartisan consensus (as others have genuinely tried to do) while being a partisan a-hole. It's a poison pill only if it isn't true. Perhaps Nance is an egregious abuser of epic proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you don't care because you are morally bankrupt Don't LIE to me about what I don't care about. YOU'RE LYING. Difference is YOU HAVE ZERO evidence for what you're LYING ABOUT. The FACT is I supported "The Stock Act" which apparently DID PASS and was signed by President OBAMA. Did YOU? So IN FACT, Hawley's new bill is JUST A STUNT which YOU fell for. Quote The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–105 (text) (PDF), S. 2038, 126 Stat. 291, enacted April 4, 2012) is an Act of Congress designed to combat insider trading. It was signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 4, 2012. The law prohibits the use of non-public information for private profit, including insider trading by members of Congress and other government employees. It confirms changes to the Commodity Exchange Act, specifies reporting intervals for financial transactions. Originally written and introduced by Washington Congressman Brian Baird, the STOCK Act gained popularity following a 60 Minutes segment on congressional insider trading in 2011, after which Republican Senator Scott Brown and Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand reintroduced bills to combat the practice. In February 2012, the STOCK Act passed in the Senate by a 96–3 vote; the only no votes were senators Jeff Bingaman, Richard Burr, and Tom Coburn.[2] Later the House of Representatives passed it by a 417–2 vote.[3] The bill was supported heavily by vulnerable incumbents and signed into law by President Obama.[4] According to the current United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics, "A member, officer, or employee of the Senate shall not receive any compensation, nor shall he permit any compensation to accrue to his beneficial interest from any source, the receipt or accrual of which would occur by virtue of influence improperly exerted from his position as a member, officer, or employee."[5] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, personally, I don’t think that Congressmen, Judges or Administration officials should have stock holdings, except in 401K’s or blind trusts while in office. There was NO evidence when the GESTAPO raided Mar A Lago. Since when does your Fourth Reich goose steppers worry about evidence? Nazi Pelosi is a criminal.

So they hired a team of lobbyists who descended on Pelosi," Watters added. "Visa's CEO personally met with her. She got donations from them. One of his advisers left and became a visa lobbyist himself.""Suddenly, Paul Pelosi got a phone call from his broker. He was in luck," Watters continued. "Paul was offered a prescreened invite to get in early on Visa's $18 billion IPO. Did Nancy and her husband hesitate? No, they bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Visa stock. But it gets better. While Pelosi was speaker, bills that would have hurt Visa's stock price were blocked in the House. Visa shares going up over 200 percent during the time, making the Pelosis a fortune on paper." Pelosi Act - need it. Quote "In January, the Pelosis got a million dollars worth of Tesla stock right before Joe Biden announced electric car incentives in June. Again with the GREAT timing. Quote The Pelosi family cashed in big time just before Congress was set to pounce on Big Tech. Mr. Pelosi exercised options on Google's parent company, Alphabet, making an easy $5.3 million." Meh. Quote "In March, Paul Pelosi exercised $2 million worth of Microsoft options, just two weeks before the tech giant got a $22 billion contract to equip the US Army with high tech headsets," he said. A $2M investment just two weeks before Microsoft got a $22B contract from the federal gov't? What amazing timing, huh? So lucky..... That's why it's called the Pelosi Act.
