Pelosi Called Out For Corrupt Tesla Stock Dealings.

If I was in her position and cognizant of democratic energy programs I would put in 2 Million. As soon as Biden won my trader would be called. Just because Pelosi invests doesn't make her evil. Hell, Gore invested in Amazon. All the politicians who are crafty do this. The dumb ones wear Trump Won masks.

He was always pro black even as senator. Expect more to evolve.

This is profiting off of a market that congress themselves help to control through their very own policies they make. It is a "mild"? form of corruption, straight up corruption if you are in full knowledge of future policy trends within your own party. I don't think that our government should be allowed to make bets on a market that they themselves help to regulate (It seems like allowing a casino to regulate itself).

Well, these politicians have done this for years, especially during Vietnam. To them, there is no Security Exchange Commission governing their license because they are invited investors..

This just shows me that both parties actually work together, all the time.

Wait, the villain has the Lobster claws. Check out Ultraman on You Tube. A 1966 classic from our friends in Japan.

This is ridiculous. You'd have to show me a link on this one. Even if true it would need to be changed, our government making money off of policies they are directly making for America while in congress, is not right.

I have no link but I lived in the Vietnam era and Cigs, Coca Cola, Beer, Whiskey, MRE's, manufacturers of weapons and the total package for Vietnam occupation all contributed to the war effort by ensuring profit with the political structure enhancing themselves. These manufacturers have facilities in States that spawn political influence. The political system has been filthy and will always be filthy. How about the 40 million dollars un accounted for in Iraq? How about the CIA involvement in Cambodia, Laos and the Arab States? Check out my referral to "Mosul" in Movies recently seen. That movie with Tom Hanks as the politician (Charlie's War) involving us in foreign affairs would be a good reference point. It's just logical that information produces connections and profit for those that are high end politicians. May I also reference the nefarious crap Dick Cheney did, illustrated in my signature and the movie (Vice). You have to see Vice. It opens a common citizens eyes to all this.

K, I'll google just a few. That said, he's now gone, so it's relatively moot. I had my reasons for supporting him (many of those listed , below), but, again, I've now turned my head towards the future and hope/pray Biden becomes a successful President in his own right. My guess, is, though, he won't serve out his first term. Gut feeling. Nothing more.

I have a pal who sends these lists all the time. The first few times, I fact checked them. In so many ways, they were either flatly incorrect, completely subjective (getting out of the Iran deal is not an accomplishment to most people), or lacking in any context. It got to the point where I refused to do it anymore.

I get the that Trump is a Republican and enacted some of your agenda. Fair enough. But the bad so much outweighed the good, and his real accomplishments, factually checkable accomplishments, are few and far between.

Here is how most of us see it - 81 million of us - a mean, exhausting, divisive, insecure, narcissistic guy who knew nothing about government or policy, ran and won on a fluke, inherited a good economy, then ran it and the country into the ground with his abdication on Covid.

Accomplishments? No wall, N. Korea w/more nukes, China trade war a failure, most unemployment in almost 100 years, some unqualified judges rammed through by Mitch McConnell, and a few minor peace deals for Israel.

Whoop-de-freaking- do.

You seem to be telling me that you are ok with corruption. No offense, but either way it doesn't really matter much, once the conversation becomes just two people debating over their own beliefs, it never ever leads anywhere. So I will have to leave this one here.

I'm not OK with it, but seriously, what can guys like us do to change this. It's the nature of the political beast.

It's fine. He's won some, and lost some. At this point I'm more focused on the new administration. Many in here want to pin me down as to get me to completely denounce Trump. Ain't gonna happen.

Hey, you've got your own opinion and no one can classify you. You see reality and support who's running the show NOW! You are in the moment and how you voted would not make a difference Friday 1/29/21. That is what I see.

Doesn't it feel like Joe Biden has been in office for more than 10 days? To me, it feels like years.
He wants to issue executive orders on every level. I personally don't like his stance on oil leases, The XL pipeline and fracking. I believe the process should be progressively staged and recognize the common citizen trying to support his/her family.
There are combative politicians trying to impede progress, promote their own agendas with resulting slanderous statements' against each other and their parties are in combat. So much for Joe Bidens' unity goal.
I feel disappointed and angry with politicians enabling their agenda and party over their duty to serve the constituents that voted for them.
 
On December 17, 2020, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats, 25% identified as Republican, and 41% as Independent.
