1. Hawley is unserious.

2. I’m so old that I remember when Republicans hated her for being a communist. 

3. Idiot takes what should and could be a bipartisan issue and ruins it with pretty partisanship. Almost like he doesn’t really want to ban it.

4. There are 4 Republicans in Congress who are wealthier than Pelosi.

5. This should also apply to the President. Everyone knows that Trump has been manipulating the markets for personal gain.

6. how about crypto too? and how about the president and is family disclose their holdings???

   not going to hold my breath.

7. Actually ok with this. Dammit.

8. Republicans trade way more stocks than she does

9. I love how she lives rent free in their heads. And she’s not even the worst, Burr did PLENTY of insider trading before he retired.

10. What about the President created a fucking Meme coin whose transactions are anonymous and untraceable. It’s a great way to pay tribute to the Orange King with despotic ambitions.

11. Josh Hawley is a virtual signaling coward, and while I think that they should ban congress from trading this is never going to pass and he knows it.

12. Meanwhile Trump is hosting dinners and “VIP” White House tours to pump Trump coin

13. Just in time for millennials to be going into politics. They made all their money, time to pull up the ladder for future politicians. /S

14. Hawley’s a piece of shit, but I’m not exactly upset about this.

15. Why doesn’t Hawley reintroduce the bipartisan bill he supported last year that also includes the president and VP?

16. Today we learned Josh Hawley must be a bad investor especially for someone within insider information.

17. Do it

18. Good. None of them should be able to own stocks. All of them are rich because they are fucking criminals who engage in insider trading and take bribes etc to pass certain legislation. They should be making 40K a year, no options for other income. Then we can see how quickly things change in this country. I don’t care who it is, D, R, independent, or whatever else. Treat all people equal and hold them all accountable for any crimes they commit, in office or out of it.

19. I don’t care who proposes it, just fucking pass it

20. Of course there’s already a bipartisan bill that’s nearly identical.

    H.R.1679 – Bipartisan Ban on Congressional Stock Ownership Act of 2023

21. The two major political parties in the United States are in race to the bottom.

    100 percent support this bill if it does what they say it does, ban Insider trading…

    They should also introduce the Hawley act to criminalize supporting insurrections and prosecute them to the full extent of the law and ban them from holding any public office again.

22. Also known to us as the Greene New Deal.

23. Easy to put out a bill with no chance of passing

24. This should apply to everybody in government.

25. Still blaming Pelosi, I see.

    Just make sure it covers MTG. Probably should ban blatant insider trading by congress while we’re at it.

26. [Heartbreaking](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Josep_Maria_Garc%C3%ADa.jpg)

27. This is stupid.

    I d rather prefer to see what they trade than just not know what they do. Because it would be simple as trading trouhh a 3rd partty to be anonymus

28. How about banning elected officials from office until they’ve paid their debt to society? 

29. They could call it the MTG Act…

30. Fuck Hawley, but also, fuck Pelosi and all the inside trading thieves.
