“If legislation is advanced to help restore trust in government and ensure that those in power are held to the highest ethical standards, then I am proud to support it"
She is 100% planning on dying in office. She’s obviously one those people who are obsessed with leaving a “legacy”. In her mind she’s going to be remember as the first female member of the House and a groundbreaking feminist who made way for others, etc.
Which would have probably stuck if she’d retired a decade ago. Now she’s going to remembered as a greedy ghoul who intentionally sabotaged other politicians and held back society to enrich herself. This is too little, too late.
Ah, right, he “woman CEO” 1970s bourgeois feminist trope. But experience has now demonstrated that here’s no difference between a male and a female corrupt weasel. Capitalists are still capitalists, and their weasel mouthpieces are still weasels.
Yea, I have nothing but disdain for Dianne Feinstein who did great things like 300 years ago and then held on to her position so long that it all got ruined and thrown away.
RBG actually did some good, unlike Feinstein. She hung on too long, but it was for honorable reasons, she just didn’t live long enough for the benefits to materlialize.
Attempting to explain anything meaningful by referencing generational cohorts is a lazy, useless pastime anyway. It has about as much intellectual rigor and explanatory power as astrology or the theory of humours.
Nah it looks like she was for banning trades using insider trading, and against banning Congress members and their spouses from trading stocks.
If your husband/wife’s entire career is trading stocks I highly doubt you’d be for such. It’s hypocritical that she would be for it now though. She should have kept her stance that she had in that 2012 article, that increasing scrutiny and verifying their trades should be done to make sure no inside information was used.
Well, kids these days only care about TikCrafts and their MineToks, so it’s our fault she has to stay in power. If we cared more about governance by the people, for the people, instead of streaming Fartnight, she could learn what skibidi toilet Ohio means from her great-grandkids and know why Democrats lose there.
Of course she doesn’t care now, she’s only a few years away from retiring or dying on the job anyways
Retire? Oh you’re funny.

Feinstein never did anything significant.
RBG did the same thing.

… and has her coffers more than filled 👍
She’s really going to get hers and then pull up the ladder behind her, eh? What a boomer.
She’s actually too old to be a boomer. Pelosi is silent generation.
No, no, the correct meaning of “boomer” apparently is “anyone older than me that I don’t like”

I recently heard some teenager call someone that was Gen Y a “boomer”. IRL.
Yeah, I actually laughed out loud at that. 🤣
Yeah I was gonna say, she’s 85 and has insider traded her way to a net worth of ~$250 million. No wonder she’s like yeah fuck it lol.
This is a huge about-face by her. Why couldn’t she have done this when she was still in power?
Pulling the ladder up behind you and boomer shit, name a more iconic duo.

She supported it in 2022: https://www.willmarradio.com/news/politics/pelosis-support-of-bill-banning-congressional-stock-trading-clears-path-forward/article_610170a0-6df6-5a36-b99a-f986756545e2.html
And in 2019: https://thehill.com/policy/finance/473281-house-passes-bill-to-explicitly-ban-insider-trading/
And in 2012: https://pelosi.house.gov/news/press-releases/pelosi-statement-on-senate-passage-of-stock-act
But yeah she made money on stock trades, and famously did not support it in 2021. So there’s that. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/15/house-speaker-nancy-pelosi-opposes-banning-stock-buys-by-congress-members.html
She stopped supporting it when it had a real chance of passing. Performative progressivism is the Democrat way.
Nah it looks like she was for banning trades using insider trading, and against banning Congress members and their spouses from trading stocks.

Nuance is always appreciated

look at her trading history and answer that yourself
“Got Mine, Fuck You.”
because this is not how capitalists work, simply put.
She still cares and if this had a chance to pass shed vote against it
We’ll see neoliberals claim to want progressive policy now, because they’ll never have to vote on it.
The same way Republicans spent four years demanding Epstein lists, and now that they can release them they won’t.
Normally I’d agree, but she’s one of the old boomers. She’s planning to stay in power another 15 years.
