Hawley introduces PELOSI Act - bill to ban congressional stock trades
Sen. Josh Hawley reintroduced a bill to ban members of Congress and their spouses from owning and trading stocks, and used the name of his legislation to troll former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Now we're talking. Excellent work, Sen. Hawley! And what a fitting cumuppance for Pelosi to attach this to her legacy.
Agreed fren... Cheers...
So what stops their kids from investing for the “big guy”?
One steps at a time fren... Cheers...
Sorry, No. It will take another 25 years to fix.If your going to fix it.... FIX IT once and be done. If they want to invest in the stock market, get a real job not a public paying job.
Hold on, I don't mind 90% of public paying jobs being able to invest.
The problem really lies with the fact that Congress is privy to information the peasantry isn't, and can either sell their votes for that information or other guarantees, or legislate for their personal gain.
Anyone related to any member of Congress, high end of Executive (President, Vice President, chiefs of staff, etc.) or judiciary should not be allowed to trade for a minimum of 10 years after they leave those positions.
Sorry, I go further. If you are a public employee, you should:
Mandatory drug testing also, every other federal employee has to. So should these fucks, and at random.
Excellent, I’ll add it.
Surely their only healthcare being goobermint healthcare would incentivize them to expand goobermint healthcare? Seems shortsighted.
Hopefully not necessarily expand it, but make it better. Aren't VA hospitals generally bad?
No private jets or mansions
They need to live the majority of the time in the area they represent. Only going to DC like once a quarter maybe to handle any business unless something major is going on. But I feel they can be at home researching and writing in plain English stuff then sharing and researching before going to DC to discuss and vote on it
You can't expect our betters to write in plain English for us to easily understand what it is they're trying to do to us!!
I like it
They should only be able to get rides on regularly scheduled military aircraft.
I'm pretty much good with all of these. My only nits to pick:
They should be able to use their own private vehicles to commute, but pay in some fashion for parking e.g. have to slot coins in for time or otherwise.
They should have Obamacare as benefits, but be able to seek out better healthcare completely separately, on their own dimes, with no subsidies from their government employer.
They are the ones that should be treated like serfs, their every move tracked and recorded, all associates known. Their transactions should be readily available, and they should live in military-style barracks, given what's classically considered a stipend, basically spending money if they don't want to eat barracks chow.
No argument from me... Cheers fren...
You have to start somewhere.
Love it! Name the Pelosi Act for the worst offender!
Agreed fren but it's also an acronym... Cheers...
We can hope it passes and be pleasantly surprised if/when it does... Cheers fren...
Epic
Agreed... PELOSI is also an acronym in this instance... Cheers fren...
now do term limitation
Agreed... Cheers fren...
I feel that should be an amendment. There's lots of bullshit "laws" that should really be amendments.
Ted Cruz looks to be doing this
Kekekek... Cheers fren...
Watch the media try to spin this as she suggested the bill or wrote the bill and the media will slavishly amplify that to the NPC masses
You make a good point... Cheers fren...
👍🏻 fren
SHE GATS PAYED VIA STOCKS AND MORE FROM SELLING WEAPONS TO UKRAINE. She is neighbors with the manufacturer ceo, and from there all involved are a big ring. All parts, all weapons. Sending money would do nothing. They have to eat. And they have to support drug habits and heat. Where would they buy those weapons? They don’t, the shadow government supplies them with weapons. The money is LAUNDERED through “sending to Ukraine”.
I agree with you fren... Cheers...
Beats the alternative kekekek... Cheers fren...
Nah, she needs the rope.
Now bring forth a bill to ban ANY Govt representative at levels of city, county, state and fed to hold dual citizenship.
Agreed fren... Cheers...
Stop noticing things!
What a way to call attention to the chief of corruption!
Kekekek agreed fren... Cheers...
Can we also get that one to ban purchases of large chunks of farmland by corporations started and remove it from them and also American land purchases by China and other countries.?
I agree completely with that... Cheers fren and thankQ for all your posts... I truly enjoy reading them...
I'm kinda iffy on banning specific countries from owning land here. I don't think it's a bill of attainder, but it may prevent for example Japanese car manufacturers from opening plants here. I'd like an American-built Subaru some day.
We need to ban property being owned by any foreign people or entities. That's the way it was until late 1900s.
So no free market?? Government taking land from corporations is literally step 1 in communism.
I thought this movement was about getting big goverment out of the way, not making them bigger. Guess i was wrong
Then whats your plan for stopping Bill Gates and China from scooping up and buying ALL of America?
This should've been done a long time ago......
Case in point, the firm I invest with was the firm in charge of the IPO for Visa (the credit card company) stock in 2008. We were allowed to request to buy shares at the $44/share of 406million shares IPO. I requested 100 shares ($4400), I got 5 shares allocated to me. I know someone that requested 1000 shares, they got 10. Nancy Pelosi (or Paul) got 50,000 shares. How? Why? I got 5% of requested shares, I'm sure she didn't request 1,000,000 shares.
People serving the USA should not get rich serving our country as a politician. This is as messed up as a soup sandwich.
Agreed fren... Cheers...
I'm cool prohibiting their families to run for office. Dynasties suck
That also... Cheers fren...
Really, Pelosi ACT???
Oh great. Haha.
It's a very well thought out acronym kekekek... Cheers fren...
LOL
Fuckin A
Agreed fren... Cheers
is this a 2-vodka minimum?
Better make it 3... Old Nan's gonna need them kekekek... Cheers fren...
