Paul Pelosi exercises $1M Google stock call options before Dems introduce congressional stock trading ban
Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, exercised call options on at least $1 million worth of Alphabet stock ahead of last month's bill banning members of Congress from purchasing individual stocks.

Paul Pelosi exercised call options on anywhere between $1 million and $5 million worth of Alphabet stock on Sept. 16, after which they would have expired.

Paul Pelosi originally purchased the right to buy Google stock at a given price in December 2021. Alphabet is the parent company of tech heavyweight Google.

Morally Superior, my ass.
 
Another stupid-ass troll thread.

Nobody could possibly think that passing such a bill then nudging one's spouse to finish up any trading they wanted to get done before the effective date is a bad thing.

No, I call it grifting no matter who does it.

It's you who came in here to defend profiting from their political clout.

1. The bill hasn't passed yet.

2. Telling your spouse to get stock trades done to take advantage if a bill passes is the reason this bill exists.

If you actually want to know what the bill is all about, go here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/3494

btw, the penalty built into that bill is a joke.
 
And Trump charged us taxpayers $10s million while he was president at his gold courses and hotels..

But Trumpsters are ok with that..

Would you rather Trump stay at mansions that belong to political cronies like Obama did?
 
Isnt this just running the government like a business?
 
Pelosi is the very definition of the term "Swamp".

Didn't cost us $10 of millions like Trump did.. But then Trump said he wouldn't be golfing all the time like Obama did.. But yes, that was another lie Trump told that you Trumpsters don't give a damn about...

Let's be patient with the Pelosis.

During the current inflation, even ice cream prices have risen.

And I guess doctors are also charging more for facial enhancement treatments.

Hopefully, after the November 8 elections, she will have more free time.
