People just don't like the "both sides are the same" clownery anymore. It's not true and will never be true.


So are you asserting that Nancy Pelosi wasn't insider trading when her party was in power?


I think he is asserting she never created a policy, tweeted or manufactured a war for her insider trading: it was purely opportunistic.


Yes I am asserting that, there is no proven evidence she was. Congressional stock trading is legal.


There's no "proven evidence" (whatever that means) that people in the Trump administration are insider trading either, yet we can see some very suspicious ripples in the market.

Pelosi was even more obvious as we know all of her trades, their timing and her outrageous outperformance during that period.


Trump is out here running crypto rug pull grifts as the president to enrich himself and his family while holding office. This hand wringing about Nancy Pelosi is just slopulism. She just invested in SF tech companies and they happened to do well.
