I could look at the furthest star in the sky and it wouldn't be as out of touch as Nancy Pelosi
And it would be less guilty of insider trading.
What was her insider trade?
Either she has an absolute savant of a portfolio manager or she is trading ahead of the headlines. In 2023 she was up >60%, most hedge funds had an ROI of 5-10%.
She is not the only member of Congress who is doing quite well in the market, on average they are up >35%.
She also lost with -19% in 2022, worse than the S&P 500 at -18%
Her "Portfolio Manager" would be her Husband, who owns an investment firm. Literally all of her reported trades are due to the fact that she and her husband have joint ownership of finances by law.
But doing well is not an insider trade, and congressmen have served prison time for insider trading in the past, so I'm asking specifically what trade did she have information on ahead of the public? All of her trades are reported by law. You seemed so confident that she was insider trading, what was the trade?
Ooph, these comments. Obviously this incredibly incompetent move from pelosi is going to hurt democrats.
According to the latest polling, half of all democrats and half of all 18-~~35~~ (edit: 18-29)year olds view this as a genocide. Of the other half, more are undecided than don't think it's a genocide.
You can't insult serious beliefs of half your base and think there won't be consequences.
Of course trump is a serious threat to democracy. Just like the last time I'm going to hold my nose and vote for biden. And just like last time, senior democrats are going to do everything in their power to shoot themselves in the foot.
When aren't dems insulting their base?
When they're talking about rich white Boomers.
If it weren’t actively and directly leading to the possible demise of democracy in America, it would be goddamn hilarious how good the Democratic leadership is at machine gunning their own foot.
Yall need another party that actually matters in the race. Libertarians are crazy too and don't matter. And There's no 4th option.
I agree completely. But we’re not going to get one, because we have laws whose express intent is to make it nearly impossible for parties outside of the main two to have any real level of success.

MSM: The wind blows, hurts Biden's 2024 Campaign
Except this wind is directly doing things to hurt Biden's campaign. A major establishment figure highlighting one of their biggest issues with their base and further antagonizing them is actually politically relevant.
You don't think the things that the Dems say will effect whether people feel like voting for the Dems?
