Zone1 Who is a more virtuous man?

[Dante]

Are you trying to tell me Pelosi was just one great business statement analyst and she knew the stock prices were undervalued and she timed it so perfectly?

You destroy any credibility you had with the suggestion that politicians aren't stealing from citizens. It is clear as day in some instances and there is rarely if ever any consequences.

There you go again. You obviously mistake memes and headlines for actual fact.

Try a few facts:

Wealth Drivers and Investment Strategy

• Source of Wealth: The majority of the wealth is attributed to massive, high-performing stock investments and real estate holdings managed by her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi.
• Key Holdings: The Pelosis own significant stakes in major technology companies, including Apple (valued at $25–$50 million), Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.
• Performance: Over the past 37 years, the Pelosi portfolio has generated approximately $130 million in profits, with a reported 16,900% return, significantly outperforming the broader market.
• Real Estate: Their assets include commercial real estate in California, a Napa Valley vineyard, and a San Francisco mansion.
• Investment Firm: Paul Pelosi runs Financial Leasing Services Inc., a venture capital investment and consulting firm.

Well, I just follow the public sentiment, no one can say for certain one way or another. Unless a full investigation and a court proceeding, we can just assert analogous evidence.

I asked A.I to decide:

Pelosis likely benefited from inside information often point to the following patterns:

• Exceptional Timing: Critics emphasize the "luck" required to execute large, high-conviction trades in specific sectors—most notably technology—immediately before those sectors received favorable legislative support or regulatory clarity.
• The Nature of Options Trading: Paul Pelosi frequently utilizes long-term equity anticipation securities (LEAPS) or call options. Options are high-leverage instruments that require precise timing to be profitable. Using such instruments suggests a high degree of confidence in the short-to-medium-term price movement of the underlying assets.
• Systemic Information Asymmetry: As Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi had access to sensitive briefings on market-moving legislative calendars. Critics argue it is practically impossible to fully "wall off" a spouse from the general atmosphere of policy priorities, even if no direct exchange of non-public data occurred.

If one evaluates this through the lens of appearance and ethics , the balance of public sentiment leans toward a conflict of interest. The ability for high-ranking officials to trade individual stocks in sectors they oversee creates an inherent "appearance of impropriety," which is why many argue for a total ban on the practice regardless of whether illegal activity is occurring.

Public sentiment is that Trump is a rapist. Follow that.

Facts are facts. Pelosi has had to file financial disclosures for decades. You know, the things Trump always resists doing.

and an AI bot can be garbage in, garbage out - depending on HOW a question is asked. I do it all of the time for people that need help understanding. Just rephrase a question and see.

Yep:

Wow, is right.

Here has been the problem, for decades the West had slick politicians who were manicured by MSM, smiling, waving their plastic finger as they allowed China to steal their industries and they filled their own pockets.

Trump came along and broke the mold. Loud, unapologetic, undiplomatic.

Trump came along and normalized GRIFT. Why you people turn a blind eye on it is pretty appalling. Just look at how you judge others without any real evidence to suggest anything despicable, like the Trump family grifting

Wow! Conflate things much? How is one related to the other here.

What the lady meant was not just that "People are going to die". The unspoken part of that comment was, "More people are going to die without the Covid era Medicaid subsidies, than would if we kept them." Arguably true, so where do we find the money to restore them? The lady in the back (and almost certainly David French) would probably say, "Tax the corporations and billionaires!"

Ernst's comment was insensitive and she apologized. OTOH French's sniffy indignation over people wanting to keep their own money is an order of magnitude less virtuous. How much more do you need Dave? 50%? 90%? You be sure to tell me when you get enough! I wouldn't want you thinking me selfish or unvirtuous!

Religion is a tool. I don't blame guns either.

What do you do when the pie isn't big enough to feed the people at the table?

If you're a Democrat, you throw the pie in the trash and try to kill everyone on the other side of the table.
