    I’m a democrat and get tired of this woman prancing around doing whatever the fuck she wants. Why can congress, or close family, even be allowed to own stock? Of course this bullshit will keep happening and nothing will be done about it.

    These people need to be set to higher standards than this.

        If jimmy carter sold his peanut farm so there wouldn’t be any self interest optics while he was president, these congressmen can wait it out until they are no longer serving the public interest

        They still shouldn’t be trading individual stocks, whether they have inside information or not.

          Sure, I’m just saying there’s a reason why it’s always her that media talks about even when it’s clearly not insider trading and even if she always gets beaten by Republicans.

      Exactly. This isn’t as much about Nancy as it is about politicians abusing their power.
