    I think we both moved naturally in this direction, didn’t accuse them of “changing the topic.”

    I think it’s important to mention Pelosi never traded any stocks. Her sin was marrying a stock broker and having joint assets starting in college and refusing to ban that very act from congress. Many times this resulted in going against her husbands and her own interests, such as when she voted to regulate VISA despite them selling Paul a lucrative stock option, or the years where they actually operated at a net loss.

    Now, if you were to complain about something else like her general disposition towards Republicans from the moment she was sworn: her awful nonpartisan confirmation speech, or her often crossing of the aisle into red territory, then you would be making fair criticisms. Instead everybody sits here and pretends that theres ome huge financial scheme going on with no evidence at all of corruption.

    Because FOX news told you so.

        Well let me enlighten you, the anti-pelosi posts and comments sound 100% exactly like those fucks at Fox News.

          As we all know, she’s perfect and never did anything wrong.

          And I don’t even have cable, let alone a subscription to the fascist drivel of Fox News. The bastard who invented it should be hanged.

            Every election she runs against one of those fascists and I hope with every fiber of my being that she and every other democrat wins. If you can support her primary opponents then great, do so, I will support you, but if your only contribution is to convince people the party is a bunch of crooks, with zero evidence to support it, then I will argue with you.
