Good. In a perfect world Pelosi, Biden, Trump and every other politician getting personal benefits - especially financially- for themselves or their family should be exposed and removed. Fuck all of them. It’s infuriating that people can’t hold both sides accountable.

This is fake news coming out of a fake news machine in Macedonia. Trump is such an idiot.

So Paul Pelosi Jr. didn't serve on the board of Viscoil? That seems pretty easy to verify.

Snopes fact check:
Was Nancy Pelosi’s Son an Exec at a Gas Company That Did Business in Ukraine?
"Because Pelosi Jr. did not work for NRGlab during the time in which the company is alleged to have done business in Ukraine, and because the product allegedly produced by NRGlab in Ukraine does not exist, we rank the claim that “Nancy Pelosi’s son is an executive at a gas company that did business in Ukraine” as “False.”"

Snopes is funny. I love how they use technicalities to set their own parameters for what “yes” and “no” mean.

 

[crandc]

Wikipedia has banned reference to UK Daily Mail as an unreliable source. Microsoft browser warned they carry sensationalized and unverified stories. Sounds like a publication Trump would prefer.

I remember people talking about Pelosi's son on some other "energy company" board years ago. Natural Blue something or other and fraud.

The whole thing is a total scam but people here will attack the sources while these politicians all steal from everyone.

All of them. Or maybe Nancy's kid really does know how to save the world with clean energy. Lol

Yes, but the allegations should actually be true before the politician should be punished.

You post on a forum where eating babies is often mentioned.

It's clear you eat babies. I think we have to hold you accountable.

How does serving on a corporate board = stealing from everyone?

This accusation of wrongdoing seems a bit vague. What is the alleged crime?

I'm sure it is all "legal" right?

Maybe it is the exact same thing all of you freak out about if Trump does it.

How's that "public service" pay these days? Spec fucking tacular

It's been years. I'll google it now. You guys really don't remember anything do you. This was before Trump. Be right back.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

This is a pdf download of some legal action against Natural Blue Resources it seems to be called. Securities fraud. Pelosi Jr. was president for six months or so. Maybe he just quit knowing they were crooked?

So if something that is reported displeases you that has yet to be proven or disproven, you simply attack the source.

Ok Maddow.

I've been angered by public servants getting rich for decades.

I posted something about AOC here last year wanting to see her bank account in ten years.

Not bothered. Let's see how much money she has in ten years and then we'll talk.

Maybe we should wait for an indictment, if we can't wait for a trial, before we call him guilty. So far I haven't even heard of a government investigation.
I've only heard of Trump's condemnation, which means pretty much nothing.

Not sure what you were attempting with that broken run on sentence, but ok.

Again vague allegations of misconduct, but no specifics. What exactly do you think the Obamas did that was illegal or immoral? Is writing books against your code of ethics?

As usual, the point goes over your head...so again, you attack the source. And even worse, you vainly attempt to play the Grammar Police card.

My post was quite clear but alas, I can explain things for you but I cannot understand them for you.

Kind of, is it ethical that our “public” servants are almost always Millionaires or on there way to being Millionaires, even when their actual jobs as public servants pay modest wages. That they use their platforms as supposedly helping the public well being to sell some books and fill their checking accounts, does seem to create some ethical issues. Especially when so many of them claim that the rich are whats wrong with America while driving nice cars and living in mansions.

That seems super-thin. Yeah, maybe there was something hinky going on there, but there's no evidence whatsoever.

Company A gets a loan from the government. Company B has a Pelosi on their board. Company A and Company B are both subsidiaries of Company C.

That's literally all you've got there. Maybe there should be a rule than no one related to a politician should ever serve on a corporate board (or work for a corporation), but that rule doesn't exist at the moment.

Trump supporters know Trump is in trouble so their only recourse is misdirection, regardless whether their claims have merit or not.
