Imagine that, with her husband doing insider trading.

Oh really?

such leadership…

This will get done just in time for her to retire

My fat ass she will. I can hear it now. Or she will because Romney will stop that cold.

Such a law would just have those member's family acting in proxy. It would not curb anything.

She's a liar. When her stock portfolio outperforms most hedge funds... There's something fishy.... NO LAWMAKERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD OR TRADE STOCKS. They work for the people, not themselves.

Now, that she’s made millions on insider trading while journos like NPR stood by & did nothing. Ever think of asking her why the district she represents is such a shit hole, if she’s such a great leader…

Do it!!!

also new term limits.

And also ban family members, or other 3th party on their behalf.

Let’s do SCOTUS👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Dan Crenshaw who does on electric vehicles committee 👇🏿👇🏿

Just guessing the bill that prohibits spouses from trading as well won't be introduced. I mean, they need some easy loopholes, right?

They’ll make in up in graft

Just remind me, how much her husband made last yer with the insider info She's like, 'I made my millions, so do whatever, I don't care anymore'.

Yawn..when you get something done. Tweet that b

needs to include spouses and immediate family too

Dan Crenshaw sits on the committee that oversees electric cars. Guess which stock he has been trading?

...and she's going to make damn sure her caucus doesn't support it.

She knows this is never going to pass to many politicians profiting from it. So she is just shifting blame to her colleagues, cuz midterms are just around the corner.

“But lemme sell all my shit first, k?” -Nancy

Can’t believe it’s 2022 and this is still legal

Bout time. And spouses and direct family too. Tired of these creeps, both sides, doing this shiz

She must be quite certain it will never happen.

That’s good. Would it mean the same for spouses? Her husband always seems to pick winners just at the right time.

we shouldn't have to do this sh!t .. how dare they think they're above us

They always leave themselves a group escape clause. What is everyone’s decision is nobody’s decision.

How about,' support of the Americans they represent ' which is at least 2/3 of them

You can't ban people; you can only ban things. Grammar. Therefore they would ban the trading of individual stocks by members of Congress. Or they would introduce legislation which prevents members from trading individual stocks. You're welcome.

Yeah because her husband does her trading for her and she also already got hers

Yay!!!!

Good. tedlieu please make sure representatives, senators and their spouses keep their stocks in a blind trust. Add SCOTUS, POTUS, and VPOTUS too. 🇺🇸👍

Means they already have a way around said law.

They are OUR employees.

Both GOP & Dems r guilty of stock trading corruption & here is the evidence:

This only means they have new more profitable ways to F*^k us.

This will never get through the Senate.

Professional athletes aren’t allowed to bet on games because they have inside knowledge and can directly effect outcomes. The same logic applies to lawmakers. There is no logical reason that congress should be able to buy individual stocks. Massive corruption.

No shit. She’s made her money.

What does she care? She is already wealthy from her husbands ventures and StarKist tuna.

After 35 years and just before she retires, she is open to it. 👍

Nancy and her husband should have to payback for all their insider trading

Well, as far as I know, I have yet to hear about the Justice department actually prosecuting insider traders. But really, Pelosi, the problem isn't stock market investors in Congress, the problem is businesses buying votes with lobbyists.

Goodness she looks old in this picture.

If the Democrat caucus supports it? 😂😂😂😂 well that thing is dead on arrival. She is merely trying to save a little face.

She said after declaring, “My work here is done, I’m already worth $200m.”

Oh and defund NPR for total misinformation and recklessness

A little too late SpeakerPelosi you made your dough in the market already….

Toothless Lions & Parchment Tigers

Good. That's the mark of a good politician: even if you don't agree, you recognize the worries of the majority and open up your mind.

Fuck her caucus. THE PEOPLE WANT THIS.

How about their husbands?

IF BUT blah blah blah...

How about just getting your caucus to support it. It’s insider trading. If it’s illegal for Martha Stewart it should be for you as well.

Shut it down

It is so disheartening that at literally every level we have become so selfish and lacking basic care for the people around us. I do not understand this level of cruelty.
