They are required to report their trades, as well as their spouses' transactions, but they don't always comply. 34 members of Congress have violated a law designed to root out insider trading and prevent conflicts-of-interest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband cashed in on Big Tech just as Congress was set to pounce Latest Senate Stock Disclosures US Politician Stock Trading |

Doesn't the House need another Senate vote on a "new" infrastructure bill if they do vote it down? Maybe Nancy doesn't it bring it to vote today but nothing is going to change with Sinema/Manchin with more time. The Dems are F'd, "Biden's Plan", which is really "Bernie's Socialist Agenda", is going to go down hard with only 48 Senate Votes. Just a beautiful sight!

It definitely sucked when we got stuff done and didn't lie to the American people about foreign policy debacles. Blowing off the Generals recommendations cause The House Plant thinks Miracle Grow gives him the answers on foreign policy. Nothing better than leaving Americans behind enemy lines & getting soldiers killed unnecessarily, You can't beat celebrating 20 years since 9/11 by having Afghans fall off US planes as a tribute to people jumping out of the Towers. It definitely sucked when the border was secure and we were building a wall to keep it that way. When unemployment was at 50 year lows before a 100 year pandemic hit. The economy was booming, what a disaster that was. It's so much better now that the Border is a mess and 20% of the migrants we release into the interior are Covid positive I mean before we were an international joke, but somehow only now are Europeans pulling their ambassadors from the US Inflation is out of control and jobless claims are going up, how is that diesel price Ed? The stock market is finally taking note of massive inflation that isn't transitory So up those interest rates go and fast & down go the growth stocks. TSM is only down 15% since The House Plant took office, well played Ed! Let's go with RxEd's take and hope the infrastructure bill gets killed today as well. God, I hope one of those bridges doesn't collapse with your rig in the middle of it. I mean that would be karma, but I guess you don't care, right? Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied.

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Dollar Tree announced yesterday that by the end of the year they're raising the price in all their stores to $1.25. Experts are saying this is a huge deal because it will cause retailers everywhere to raise their prices and really kick inflation into high gear. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
