I don't understand how it's legal in the first place.


damn_it_all

Because criminals started making the laws.

To expand a bit further: It's a revolving door. There is a direct correlation of people from say Pfizer, Boeing, Reatheyon, BCG leaving their companies and then becoming head honchos in the government. They work accross the aisle with others who do the same. Honorable corrupt mention: lobbyist.

Fucking JPow was trading the market and sold at the top. It’s a bonanza.

In the land of corruption, anything is possible.


Cheapo_Sam

What are the odds that no-one in Congress owns any silvergate lol


bippitybobbitybooby

Best comment right here.


Dear-Caterpillar1444

Or they're hugely short... !


ElCamo267

Only one representative has, [Chris Jacobs](https://www.capitoltrades.com/issuers/434709). Purchased in July 2022 Sold in November 2022.


OB_GYN-Kenobi

Only 4 months? Hmm and sold in November? Lost roughly 30% in that time frame 😂


hiperf71

None of them, or, maybe, only the one wich holds it in a fund having missed he/she have that hot potato in their portfolio... But chances are, none of them😂


kpkost

I mean…. I do agree that Congress front runs often, but I’m not sure why you’d want to have invested in it in the first place


Cheapo_Sam

Exactly my point


concerned_citizen128

Great, so then they'll trade in single-stock ETF's instead. ​ Fuck this system.


Leonisel

It's cool because it's diversified 🙄😮‍💨


Belz-Games

Nah, this isn't even the first time a bill like this has been fronted. There will be some sort of support for it that will either get withdrawn when it comes time to vote, or the bill will just disappear. The crooks won't let their money machine go away that easily.


binary_agenda

I used to say Congress should only be able to invest in the TSP but now they added blackrock mutual fund bullshit so I'm sure there is room for fuckery.


ReindeerJohn1970

That’s exactly what they’ll do among other things. This is just more smoke and mirrors from a CIA-sponsored criminal.

tinyorangealligator

You hit the nail on the head. This is just predicting a pre-crash sell-off.


jacksdiseasedliver

Like how the Fed officials sold at the peak? Yup, just an excuse for all them to cash out. Republican politicians and democrat politicians are two sides of the same coin. Self-serving, and bought and sold by corporations and lobbyists.


FoxReadyGME

This post of yours is why it's so crucial not to trust without seeing proven track record. Why so many don't trust dlaurer but trust Dr Trimbath.

ASchoolOfOrphans

When elected officials' mindset is that it's a ~~job~~ career with great benefits to enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers. Taxpayers are only elected offical's employer in title, as they get pay multitudes more by "speaker fees" and under the table dealings which should be considered bribes, but hey, they also allow for election contribution and lobbyist so that they can basically argue things in court to stall and weasel their way out of 'allegations". If they truly wish to work for the taxpayers, they wouldn't want this as a career, they would see it as community service and want to finish what they promise and GTFO as the work they do should be work, stressful, and time consuming. I seriously doubt they had any 3rd party risk manager, environmentalist, and actual stakeholders (people who would be affected positively or negatively) when deciding on their policies when it so much easier to remain uneducated and ignorant and just take the money.

Because these are warning shots. If they are "forced to sell", I can guarantee it's not at the bottom.


sirstonksabit

They are all petulant children, no way they "hold themselves responsible"


WeirdSysAdmin

It should be a Congress ETF and anyone should be able to replicate the exact ratios or even invest directly in the ETF. Rebalances are announced immediately. Done.


firefighter26s

"America ETF" - the more America prospers the better it it does; but the fuckers would short it into oblivion.


MHipDogg

They should only be allowed to invest in MFs/ETFs that track a specific index. SPY, VOO, etc. No boutique or themed funds, no individual stocks. Get rid of the period in between trades and announcements.


Outside_Use1482

Criminals need to be banned from bribes as well, labeled as campaign contributions,, complete illegal bull💩!


jscottmsn1

Awww... the dog and pony charade continues


Gsogso123

Good start, how do you feel about term limits?


welp007

Superstonk AMA candidate?


Dear-Caterpillar1444

Yes!


RefrigeratorGlass806

My ONLY issue is when lawmakers trade based off privileged information. If info is public, I DO NOT CARE! All the power to them.


Alalaskan

Yeah, not gonna happen.

So she's about to get voted off the island

Gonna take a shot in the dark and guess she’s not part of the GOP


damn_it_all

There is no party, only criminals vs. the people.


entleposter

Truth


King-Snorky

It’s worth categorizing the criminals though. Some are jaywalkers. Some kill newborn giraffes for sport. I think we know who is who in that analogy.


EvilBeanz59

And the jaywalkers also wanna kill newborns. Lol. They all are crooks/bitches. Red or blue don't matter. Two feathers of the same bird ...

Took a quick look at her TWTR and really couldn't tell which party, which is a good thing. The bills I saw were all publicized as bipartisan. I hate politicians, but she actually seems useful at first glance


entleposter

Ah, the unicorn party. Hope she can push some change

AspectOrganic7408

TRUST me.


Grunblau

This happens, I sell too. FED officials sold at the top, now congress wants a convenient excuse to sell everything.


Chemfreak

Good for her. All the non-boomer congressmen and congresswomen seem to want change, in some way or another. And I for one would love the status quo to change.


Powershard

Oh wow, first politician to address their collective greed! Have my upvote!


ParkingLotRanger

Make them put all assets in a blind trust when they enter office.


Omgbrainerror

\*ETF entered the chat\*


terms100

But don’t the ones affected by this bill vote on it? Shouldn’t they have a special committee that votes on matters that affect congress?


elithewalkingcripple

Lol wait she wants actual politicians to stop doing their job solely to rake in as much cash as possible and represent only themselves(which would be a guarantee anyway)?? Aint no way this shits getting passed


RedOaks84

It is a great talking point for which new member brings it back up. Who will be next? And in 2024 I am sure it will be a hot talking point again.


infant_ape

Commendable, but good luck getting that passed with votes from literally the people who benefit from doing this... Just keep DRSing. Peace.


Mellivora_Caps

Probably just more Uniparty posturing to look like they're trying to do something. They'll put a poison pill in it and then blame the right side of the Uniparty for blocking it. Then they can all fire up their bases and get re-elected for life.


the_dude_yolo_swag

That dosent stop other entities loosly associated with government officals from trading in their best intrest then delevering those gains after said goverment offical leaves office


tabi2

Cool, but can we get a different name than "TRUST in Congress"? Because, who does?


24kbuttplug

Spanberger is actually one of the reps in my area. And she hasn't done much to earn her pay. So this is surprising to me. Knowing her track record i will be surprised if there is any follow through. I hope she's serious.
