None. I am not like the typical American who voted for the lesser of evils. If a candidate is useless to me, then they are useless. I don't do the whole partisan crap. Only people with half of a brain get into that.

so you do not participate in elections?

Yes, but I only vote for candidates that I believe will help America, not harm it. This includes senate seats , as well local ones. I do this across the board, not just Republicans. I didn't vote for Trump nor Hillary in 2016, I didn't vote for Trump nor Biden in 2020, nor will I vote for either in 2024. I don't want to be part of the whole 'lesser of two evils' stupidity.

Unless you have something to tie Pelosi's investment to insider knowledge resulting from her government position, I see this as just throwing **** up against the wall to see what sticks.  Now, I hate Pelosi, and I'd love for her to hang for real corruption.  But, throwing stuff like this out without being able to tie it back to something she knew in advance muddies the water.

I agree wholeheartedly with your first and third sentences.

Yes, Bush senior and Bush Jr the first term. I didn't vote for Bush Jr the second time.

Just calling it the way I see it.  I'm an unabashed capitalist.  I have no problem with people making money - even gobs and gobs of it. And, if someone is going to report "insider trading" - the amount of money made doesn't matter.  Who made that money is secondary.  The methodology used to make the money is all that matters, so I expect that to be front-and-center in any legitimate article.

As I understand it, the way insider trading laws are currently written they do not cover information given to members of Congress. 

This is as I understand it as well.  Yet, just because there's not a law that prohibits this, does not mean that congressional insider traders should get a pass.  If we want laws to change, exposing insider traders is what good investigative reporters should be attacking. 

My objection to the OP's article was that it made no attempt to try and connect Pelosi with any insider information given to Congress.  "Pelosi made lots of money" doesn't get me there.

Would her husband be an extremely wealthy venture capitalist without all the inside information she gets as a member of Congress?

No way to know either way.

Pelosi is just another grifter.....like Screechy Haley.

Screechy made over 6 million simply giving

speeches to AIPAC and the MIC

Nancy Pelosi's husband didn't get rich because his wife was a congresswoman.  He got rich by being a very savvy investor who has a formidable reputation amongst other investors and venture capitalists.
