They latch onto one thing for one person and pound it over and over again. The left accepts that these are bad things (they are) but won’t whatabout enough about the Republicans that do it worse, so this becomes Pelosi’s image while those that do it worse are unknown. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] IHaveTwoCows@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] mikeboltonshair@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) While you are right this has zero to do with whatever party you want to idolize it’s a problem for all sides we need to focus on all of them, none of these clowns should be able to make trades, they are in positions where they actually can shape the outcomes of their trades that’s fucking ridiculous And on topic there needs to be some realistic term limits for these jackasses especially when they start to get older, nothing wrong with being old but if you are running a country and you get stuck staring at cameras in a daze it’s time to go.. ffs most people I know can’t wait to retire and would do so even earlier if they could yet these goblins are slopping it up at the trough This is a class issue always has been permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago Never said it wasn't the case, I just pointed out the Pelosi is always the target when the fact is she's not the worst and there's zero attention put on any Republicans regarding that. permalink fedilink source parent [+] 30mag@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I'm just pointing out the fact that people are always pointing at Pelosi but she's not the biggest culprit and no people aren't putting as much attention on the people who are actually worse than her. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] 30mag@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) That's her investments, not her gains. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] 30mag@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [+] Fal@yiffit.net -9 points 3 years ago (3 children) Explain how. Can you cite any trades that are particularly suspicious? You're basically espousing right wing talking points that they came up with to divert attention from the republicans who are actively insider trading.
