The Trump Presidency

Solution: transfer the stock/stake to your house.

Dax:  You should totally be allowed to have business interests while having huge ability and incentives to funnel money to those businesses.

Dax: It is a joke that Nancy can do what she and her husband have done!

I didn't say it was a joke what Nancy has done . . . I am making fun of the fact that #blueanon is praising that Nancy is onboard with this, and at this point that's utterly meaningless.  How much longer is Rep OxyGin going to be around?

They got that bread . . .

Regardless, your stance, stances, lack of a stance, return to previous stances, deflection away from stances, obfuscation of stances, ignoring your maintenance of a stance to take another stance without having to reconcile, etc are a rough ridin' joke.

[sonofdaxjones]

That is not applicable at all here

[CNS]

Dax: regardless of my take being nearly 100% a rough ridin' joke, that is not at all applicable here, where it is a rough ridin' joke.

The bill as it’s written now would almost certainly prevent a private business person with ownership stake in a midsize company or above from running for office unless they divest their ownership stake.

#blueanon does prefer their lifetime political grifters . .

Back to this, why exactly does it matter if the person sitting in congress is a private business person? All of them just vote for what they are told to, anyway. Literally anyone can do their jobs.

They can still have their money invested, it just has to be a blind trust. The only reason you would vote against this is you are planning to use your insider info to place trades before knowledge becomes public.

I mean sure, but why can't they make even more money
