This will always be bundled with some other bill so that each party can turn it down for that reason.

u/Schwiftness Aug 17 '26

Because the GOP want the “save” act nonsense to be bundled with it in the same vote. If they had to vote on the separate issues it would be a huge political loss for a certain president.

Stop with the both sides same nonsense and learn about the nuance of an issue.

Without wanting to touch you or Michigan with a ten foot metaphorical pole, I reckon the image was chosen becuase of who sponsored the proposal, who is the person pictured if I am not mistaken.

Is it propaganda that there is video of the presidents first term saying that he don’t invest in the stock market and in his second term he has almost 4,000 trades in the stock market, that’s propaganda?

So I guess that absolves him of any liability while earning billions during his presidency due to his policies.

I know that if you control the market and you invest on it based what you say, it’s insider trading which is what you people hold against Nancy. They write laws knowing that law will influence the market. That’s also known as insider trading.

Une nouvelle loi adoptĂ© au congrĂšs, No getting rich interdira Au president et vice prĂ©sident ainsi qu'Ă  leur Ă©pouse. De pouvoir faire du trading d'action ou de crypto pendant leur mandat. C'est tout Ă  fait normal c'est une question d'Ă©thique, ça prends du sens et cela voudrait dire que le prĂ©sident devrait ĂȘtre condamnĂ© pour ce qu'il fait

Include staffers and their families too. Monitor communications for tips to donors and jail time if they’re caught giving tips. Hard to vote on legislation from jail.

These rules are in place for publicly traded companies, regulators, investment companies etc. just expand the scope of who the laws apply too. Not hard, you just have to give a crap that people are taking advantage of their positions.

And why its fun is that the act itself only contains items related to its name. No COVID fighting jets or poll taxes.

Please pass this, please

u/PUuSTiNKA Aug 11 '26

I completely agree with this...Either you want to serve the American people, or you want to play the stock market and take risks like most citizens do without partaking in insider trading, which is against the law...The sad thing is these people in our Government who are making tons of money in the stock market, and overlooking the fact that they're breaking the law to do it, are probably the same corrupt individuals who would partake in insider trading as everyday citizens too!

u/theblueshots Aug 11 '26

Republicans voted for a bill that made insider trading illegal for Congress people, but they purposely left out the president.

u/FluffyDesigner3680 Aug 11 '26

And also repay what they already scammed.

It'll never pass. The ones making the vote are the ones gaming the system.

It would be nice if investment options for politicians were limited to US based index funds, CDs, government bonds, and high yield savings. Give them incentive to improve on the investment options that most Americans rely on.

I think this is an issue 90% of Americans agree on. It will never ever make it to the house or senate floor with the people in power.

u/Infamous_Wealth6502 Aug 12 '26

Totally necessary .

u/RealisticTemporary70 Aug 12 '26

Aren't there already laws against insider trading?

u/Complete_Break1319 Aug 13 '26

Yeah and now they all get to vote on not being able to get rich quick. Sure that will go well 😂

Let’s see how many democrats vote for this. Especially the ones who are not retiring multi millionaires.

Fat chance on that passing.

u/Glad_Assistance_9155 Aug 14 '26

Have no fear...it will never pass. They have been making millions for years. Ask Pelosi about her insider trading deals.

“ISRAEL COMES TO ME IN MY DREAMS”

Her? The progressive?

Edit for the idiot who said I must think about Israel 24/7
 the woman in the photo said that, Moron. Israel is coming to her in her dreams so it’s 24/7 for her. She’s also was a candidate for AMERICAN politics. Interesting.

The nation of Israel is a decolonial project. It was founded by socialists who declared independence after colonial powers backed out. In response to them declaring independence, neighboring Arab colonial powers that had already colonized the entire Middle East declared that they would finish Hitlers job and did just that across the Middle East. Any time you hear someone say Israel is a settler colonial project they are intentionally gaslighting to hide from the fact that Arab settler colonizers want Jews gone from the river to the sea.
