They didn't change topic, you just didn't like the answer they gave.
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.
Who the fuck watches Fox News besides boomers?
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.
The entire party? No.
Her? Yes. Inside trading is illegal, and all of Congress gets away with it
What insider trade did she make? Because of legislation she helped pass, all of her husband's trades are public, go find one.

Yes please present a trade.
There are multiple sources that you could quite easily look up yourself, but here is a website detailing most of them including dates and the exact trades and the amounts.

Looking things up with citations and proof is a lie by Republicans, somehow.
Let's look at it, then!
Except it did make it to vote, and Pelosi voted to pass the new regulations.
The Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights in September 2008 passed both chambers in 2009 and was signed by President Obama. Pelosi voted to pass it.
Also of note is that VISA met directly with Paul Pelosi at his brokerage and never with Nancy.
Do you need me to present that in article form? I'm sure seeing me think for myself must seem entirely foreign to you.
So then logically, she voted with her party after her husband both purchased and later sold stock at the exact correct times (by your own admission) to profit off things both coming and going.
And all of the rest of those listings are all... Just lucky. Over and over again.
And somehow, even without those listings, the performance of her portfolio is... Just a coincidence and shrewd trading at a level that outperforms everyone else thousands of times over.
Got it.
But yeah, everyone else is easily fooled by Trump somehow. In 2011. Where the investigation was carried out by 60 Minutes for some reason.
Brilliant deductive work.
This is some MAGA-level bending yourself into knots to suck yourself off.
Welcome to Banjo, he is Blue MAGA. Pelosi can't do any wrong, ~~woke leftists~~ Russian backed leftists lied. Support my party or you're UNAMERICAN!
Well, to be perfectly fair, I am un-American. Being a Canadian and all...
:)
Selling a stock after holding it for exactly two days hardly constitutes a conspiracy, you're really grasping at straws with your "exact right time" assumption. You would have an easier time claiming VISA manipulated prices to make a bribe, but at the end of the day Nancy Pelosi voted and passed laws against monied interests.
So then yes to everything I said before then. Yes it was all a coincidence. Yes it was sold at exactly the right time after purchasing it exactly the right point in a VERY tight period of time. Totally out of the blue. Several hundred times given her stock portfolio.
Listen, if you're not even going to pretend to be believable, then I don't think we need to continue this.
VISA stock prices continued to rise peaking well above $350 a share a little while ago, if anything Paul was an idiot for selling at $64.
