Some of the stocks they’re profiting from include companies profiting from COVID.

This is beyond wrong at every single level and to hear Pelosi’s excuse was simply pathetic.

This isn’t a Democrat verse Republic issue since all politicians are guilty of this. Yes, it’s not illegal since THEY made sure to change the laws to make sure of that.

This is why they fight so hard to stay in power and if you think about it, that’s how that Biden and countless other, a life-long politician, become multi-millionaires on a federal salary.

This is why that should illegal for even politicians to be involved in since they are the one making the laws and policies. Which they greatly benefit from their own efforts, in “serving” the American people.

Pathetic is may be but it certainly can't be more pathetic than the excuse AOC gave when asked about it. Her claim is the reason they do it is probably because of the low salaries that congress and the senate receive and they need to make more money.


Apparently, an average of $200,000 in a small amount these days.

It probably is if you have to have a home in your NYC district , a place to live in DC and have money left over for a Florida beach vacation.

It's criminal what these politicians are able to get away with.

I think anyone with even half of a functioning brain highly suspected this.

I don't think it stops at Congress, though. I believe it's world wide with many 'leaders'.

Raise a stink about each and everyone of them when they file for re election. And keep it up.

That guy from VA who was shorting dollars when the debt limit increase was in limbo sure got defeated.

The elite (and that includes Congress) have their own set of rules.
