What does that have to do with the Trump admin?
- waynecochran 6mo agoPolitical insider trading example par excellence.
- defrost 6mo agoPelosi got a free Presidential jet and scooped the inside trades on Iran? Trump set a stratosphereic high bar for examples par excellence, I doubt all of Pelosi's husband trades add up to a signifigant fraction of Trump's crypto gains alone.
- waynecochran 6mo agoYou can actually buy an iOS app that mimicks Nancy Pelosi stock picks! Top that!
- ipython 6mo agoSure. This one’s free. https://www.trumpcorruptiontracker.com/ https://www.trumpcorruptiontracker.com/
- waynecochran 6mo agoThat does not allow you to buy stock based on what Trump picks.
- ipython 6mo agoHa. Well in that case an ios app is small ball. For corruption on DJT scale, just become one of the top bag holders of $TRUMP to meet him and get corruption tips from the man himself. https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-dishing-out-mar-a-lago-feast-to-crypto-grifts-biggest-spenders/ https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-dishing-out-mar-a...
- waynecochran 6mo agoNow we have come full circle. Another politically blind piece of hackery journalism with a giant log in its own eye.
- defrost 6mo agoIrrelevant to the matter of scale - Trump's corruption easily exceeds that of Pelosi. More to the point, this is simple what-about-ism to avoid facing up to corruption in the US government and the poressing need (for many decades now) to take effective action. As it stands, the emoluments clause and the impeachment wrist slapping make the US a standing joke for poor definition of problem and inability to punish.
- waynecochran 6mo agoSaying something over and over does not make it true.
- defrost 6mo agoNo, it's sadly true, the US is regarded as having an old, quaint, constitution that has deep flaws. Eg, an inability to enforce anti corruption at state and federal levels and a weak ineffectual process of bringing heels to boot.
- waynecochran 6mo agoYet it has produced the most fruitful country the world has ever seen. The genius of the document is that it assumes the corruption of a centralized power and provides the proper counter measures to return the power to the people.
- defrost 6mo agoThe country that didn't even make the top 20 of the Happiest Countries in the World 2026 list? <yawn> > provides the proper counter measures to return the power to the people. Wake me up when that happens.
- waynecochran 6mo agoHappiest country.. there is an objective measure
- cosmicgadget 6mo agoOh boy, following her trades 90 days later. Cannot be topped. Wait, have any congressmen topped her rate of return?
- defrost 6mo agoThey sure have - see Chris Joseph's comments, the developer of the Pelosi stock tracker app, about having numerous examples from both sides of the aisles of numerous congress members who have traded more and had better returns.
- renewiltord 6mo agoI imagine it's because she's in the opposition and has been doing this for a long time with the justification "We are a free market economy. They should be able to participate in that" https://apnews.com/article/business-nancy-pelosi-congress-8685e82eb6d6e5b42413417f3d5d6775 https://apnews.com/article/business-nancy-pelosi-congress-86... So it's worthwhile to note that both major political parties believe this is acceptable.
- JuniperMesos 6mo agoNothing; so it raises the question, when the BBC news reports "insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency", are they deliberately ignoring insider trading suspicions looming over a bunch of other high-ranking US politicians?
- cosmicgadget 6mo ago> I see you reported on one murder but suspiciously did not include all other murders in your article!
