@basso

 

Her average return on her stock investments is like 50+ percent.

She either missed her calling as a stock trading consultant or she's knee deep in insider trading corruption.

 

I thought he was also recovering from the DWI crash he got driving his Porsche home from Wine Country.
Poor guy.

 

I am not a fan of Nancy, she was good back in the day, but she is out of touch, and I am not 100% sure she didn't participate in insider trading (see maga folks, we don't condone bad acts)............but she is a little firecracker, I will give her that. With that said I hope these punks get caught and prosecuted.....

This is eye opening; this article shows Houston is 10% higher than SF on Violent Crime and SF is 17% higher than Houston on Property crime....and were both well above the National Avg

Breh take a trip to Cali

 

San Francisco is smaller and more densely populated than Houston

At least in Houston our rappers don’t get killed eating chicken

 

I saw this story on the flight. Pretty bad. No matter what you think of Nancy Pelosi this type of violence towards the spouse isn't warranted.

Don't know the motive yet so it could be political or it could be someone mentally ill.

On a related story in 1992 a woman with a machete broke into the residence of the then Chancellor of the UC Berkeley. She was killed by security before she could reach the Chancellor or his family. The woman wasn't a student but was a "radical Leftist" who had traveled from NC.

 

it's san francisco breh
homeless and mentally ill on every block

the closest thing to a republican is draymond green

 

Yall are all. I don't love Pelosi but this is too far, hope he gets well soon, xoxo. Lulz.

Not me. No xoxo from me. Tough break though.

 

ouch

 

does Steph eat at the French Laundry?

had a nice lunch at Gott's a few weeks ago. my driver had another suggestion, but I wanted sweet potato fries.

 

Gotts is awesome, best outdoor view for a burger joint

 

Ok and how is insider trading and generic corruption hurting people out here?

I don't like any of that stuff either, but none of that should have any bearing on this.

You are kinds condoning this act because people are hurting out here?

Sorry, but I just don't understand this.

 

The intruder who attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their San Francisco home was searching for the Democratic leader, shouting “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” before assaulting Paul Pelosi with a hammer.

No one is condoning the act on her husband. But when you make comments like "how does insider trading" harm the country people are going to call you out.

At best polticians doing insider trading and getting wealthy off it erodes our trust in the bills they write and whether they are made in good faith to help the public or to help themselves. That creates distrust in the government. At worst, they are writing bills that benefit them and not the general public which eventually over time does things like increase wealth inequality and gives more disproportionate power to the wealthy.

 

So why would you say people are hurting out here in response to this attack?

And I did not condone anything, so your entire post is moot.

 

Insider trading is a conflict of interest. If legislation is put forth for instance that requires more transparency in the stock market that would benefit citizens of this nation, and you are a member of Congress profiting off that lack of transparency, would you truly put forth your best effort to enact that legislation as fast as possible?

House Puts Off Vote to Limit Lawmakers’ Stock Trades, Casting Doubt on Prospects
The majority leader’s announcement that the House would not vote this week on a bill to curb trading by members of Congress punted the issue until after the midterm elections and reflected a rough road ahead.

WASHINGTON — Legislation to limit stock trading by members of Congress has stalled amid resistance from members of both parties to more tightly regulating their financial activities, raising doubt about the prospects of a bid to ensure that public officials are not profiting off their positions.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California and initially a skeptic of such a measure, embraced the effort in recent months after pressure from rank-and-file lawmakers. She said that the House would take up the issue this month, before adjourning for the midterm elections. But on Thursday, Representative Steny H. Hoyer, Democrat of Maryland and the majority leader, told reporters that the legislation was on hold, at least until after the balloting in November.

“It’s an important issue,” Mr. Hoyer said. But members of the House, he said, “need time to look at it and make sure that when we do something, we do it right.”

The delay was a potentially permanent setback to efforts to rein in stock trading by members in response to a surge of anger among voters and scrutiny by watchdog groups about lawmakers’ virtually unlimited ability to buy and sell financial instruments.

Congress is scheduled to return to Washington in six weeks to complete its business after the election, but the appetite among members to regulate themselves is unlikely to increase after they have faced voters, especially if Democrats lose their majority. The chances of the effort in the Senate, already uncertain, are unlikely to improve, at least in the short term.
