    Clearly Nancy doesn’t believe in a word that she’s saying. It doesn’t take decades to figure out that you’re getting rich because you have insider knowledge. Which means she knows there’s no chance the legislation would pass, and she’s just grandstanding, and hey that’s better than nothing, so we can give her a golf clap.

      It’s cynical, dishonest, manipulative, and completely unproductive.

      Based on that alone I completely believe that Nancy Pelosi did the math and realized that Democrats could argue for this out loud maybe even vote for it but there’s no chance that it’ll ever happen so it’s a great chance for her to actually do politics with the voters which I thought she had considered beneath her.
