Pelosi got a free Presidential jet and scooped the inside trades on Iran?

Trump set a stratosphereic high bar for examples par excellence, I doubt all of Pelosi's husband trades add up to a signifigant fraction of Trump's crypto gains alone.

You can actually buy an iOS app that mimicks Nancy Pelosi stock picks! Top that!

[ipython]

Sure. This one’s free. https://www.trumpcorruptiontracker.com/

[waynecochran]

That does not allow you to buy stock based on what Trump picks.

[ipython]

Ha. Well in that case an ios app is small ball. For corruption on DJT scale, just become one of the top bag holders of $TRUMP to meet him and get corruption tips from the man himself. https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-dishing-out-mar-a...

Now we have come full circle. Another politically blind piece of hackery journalism with a giant log in its own eye.

Oh boy, following her trades 90 days later. Cannot be topped.

Wait, have any congressmen topped her rate of return?

[defrost]

They sure have - see Chris Joseph's comments, the developer of the Pelosi stock tracker app, about having numerous examples from both sides of the aisles of numerous congress members who have traded more and had better returns.

Irrelevant to the matter of scale - Trump's corruption easily exceeds that of Pelosi.

More to the point, this is simple what-about-ism to avoid facing up to corruption in the US government and the poressing need (for many decades now) to take effective action.

As it stands, the emoluments clause and the impeachment wrist slapping make the US a standing joke for poor definition of problem and inability to punish.

[waynecochran]

Saying something over and over does not make it true.

[defrost]

No, it's sadly true, the US is regarded as having an old, quaint, constitution that has deep flaws.

Eg, an inability to enforce anti corruption at state and federal levels and a weak ineffectual process of bringing heels to boot.

Yet it has produced the most fruitful country the world has ever seen. The genius of the document is that it assumes the corruption of a centralized power and provides the proper counter measures to return the power to the people.

[defrost]

The country that didn't even make the top 20 of the Happiest Countries in the World 2026 list?

<yawn>

> provides the proper counter measures to return the power to the people.

Wake me up when that happens.
