  All governments have some amount of corruption. What matters is the scale of the corruption. Trump and his people are stealing Pelosi's entire net worth like 4-5 times a month.
- dtquad 2y ago
  The Pelosis' trades are public knowledge. Pelosi and her husband have outperformed the market by being tech-optimistic Californians. One of their most lucrative investments was investing in Nvidia after ChatGPT was released triggering the AI boom. Did that require any particular political "insider knowledge"? No.

    And indeed the Trump trades were after the USMCA was agreed upon.

    "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it." Wow, a classic example of Brandolini's Law! [1] Two words of bullshit required a paragraph to refute it. Perfect. Just don't bother. They never argue in good faith. You'll just give yourself an aneurysm trying to keep up with their firehose of falsehoods. They know and we know that even if their right wing fever dreams about Pelosi were true (which they aren't), it's obvious that the scale and criminality of what Trump did this week doesn't even begin to compare. It doesn't matter to them. They only want to obfuscate, deflect and ideally enrage. That's what they do. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law

    > The Pelosis' trades are public knowledge. That happens after they are disclosed and this delay benefits them. Not you.

Did that require any particular political "insider knowledge"? No. So you do admit that for most of the Pelosis' trades, they did use political insider knowledge then? The level of people here defending politicians and family members of them, benefiting from insider trading loopholes is amusing to see.

  you can copy trade the two parties under $kruz and $nanc. Also if you think the musk, trump and his cabinet of billionaires and crypto bro advisors have no interest in trying to make the market move around, you're very very confused.

  There is some kind of weird issue here, not sure what it is called, that where if the media were to blow this up everyone would say they are overreacting. So it becomes a "seat at the table is better than no seat" thing where they won't ask Trump these questions.

    It's a standard fear of repercussions, no ones wants to speak up today so it all gets progressively worse and harder to speak up tomorrow.

      It’s not the only possible outcome. Many countries have successfully protested against less controversial government practices and/or under worse conditions than there are now in the US.

Let's not play that game please. We don't even know who made these trades. If we look at actual trades by politicians who actually sit on committees with tradable information, we know the biggest culprits are on both sides of the aisle. https://newrepublic.com/post/177806/members-congress-made-stock-trading-2023 https://newrepublic.com/post/177806/members-congress-made-st...

  Nothing. Clinton got impeached not for the blowjob (which was consensual), but for lying under oath about it, i.e. perjury.
