  • If it weren’t for insider trading, she’d be living in a trailer.

    I don’t get what the point of saying stupid shit like this is. She had been speaker of the house for years, and in Congress for decades. Making 170-190k/year. That’s not trailer money. Her husband also was wealthy prior to this.

    Did they abuse her position for personal gain? Yes.

    Would they be poor without it? Fuck no

    Is she the worst offender? Also no, but Republicans refuse to admit their own politicians do the same shit, more blatantly and more often. Do she gets criticism from all angles while Republican politicians get it only from the opposition. Being the most prominent member of the house also gave her advise more visibility.
