... and has her coffers more than filled 👍

Retire? Oh you're funny.

She is 100% planning on dying in office. She's obviously one those people who are obsessed with leaving a "legacy". In her mind she's going to be remember as the first female member of the House and a groundbreaking feminist who made way for others, etc.

Which would have probably stuck if she'd retired a decade ago. Now she's going to remembered as a greedy ghoul who intentionally sabotaged other politicians and held back society to enrich herself. This is too little, too late.

This is a huge about-face by her. Why couldn't she have done this when she was still in power?

Yeah I was gonna say, she's 85 and has insider traded her way to a net worth of ~$250 million. No wonder she's like yeah fuck it lol.

she doesn’t care now

She still cares and if this had a chance to pass shed vote against it

We'll see neoliberals claim to want progressive policy now, because they'll never have to vote on it.

The same way Republicans spent four years demanding Epstein lists, and now that they can release them they won't.

Normally I'd agree, but she's one of the old boomers. She's planning to stay in power another 15 years.

This is the on-brandest

She's following the Feinstein Retirement Plan.

It wouldn't have changed her retirement plans when she blocked the last attempt several years ago

That's probably the only way to move things forward though. Implement rules that only affect future politicians. Let the current generation have their cake. We can gradually transition to something more sane as they get replaced.

Trump will do crypto, is that covered?

Pelosi is the poster child (though "child" in this case is woefully inappropriate) for why such a ban is needed.

If it weren't for insider trading, she'd be living in a trailer.

The fact that she's speaking on the topic at all bespeaks a breathtaking level of arrogance and hypocrisy.

Now that would change things drastically. I would think for the better.

She definitely got some kind of cutout.

I mean they are. She publicly posted every trade she made for like 2 years and they beat every model out there, and none of the companies had ongoing congressional votes.

Has she made stock trades in the past, probably/possibly. But if you look at the stocks she invests in, it's mostly all large tech companies. She was up 74% in 2024 which is rediculous. That said NVIDIA was up 190% in 2024, which is where she likely got a lot of her gains. She started trading a bunch in 2020.

That said I'm sure her trading will slow/stop soon enough, it appears her husband just had a kidney transplant (her daughters kidney) so I imagine he'll kick the bucket soon enough. He's 85 from what I just saw.

She's barely in the top 10.

She was #10 in returns in 2024.

She's commenting in support of a Republican's bill. This is Hawley. It's performative. They all know it won't pass.

There are professionals that make millions a year trying to figure this stuff out while managing their funds. Just to eek out an extra percent or two over A&P. Do you really think they never thought to look at the text of potential bills before?

But congressmembers routinely vote those returns out of the water. And that's just something they do on the side, from their full time job as a politician...

You actually believe that?

Politicians will announce policy MONTHS in advance.

So, what you're saying is we should just read the congressional record and day trade?

There's no need to be cruel.

The Crypt Keeper doesn't deserve to be compared to someone like her.
