She's resigning exactly two days after her pension kicks in.
In fairness, we would all do it this way. Would you stop a week short? Fuck no, I worked for that.
I don't like her and I don't like nearly everything she's done, but this is the most honest way people in congress make their money. I'd be more angry about most of the other ways.
She’s also worth 21 million dollars now, when she entered congress she was worth less than half a million. Her stock trading game has rivaled Nancy Pelosi’s since she entered office. This should be the bigger scandal. It’s not because it bipartisan.
Honestly, —assuming there’s no fuckery here, which in fairness is a bold assumption— I kind of respect the resignation. She fucked us, got her bag, and fucked off. That’s far better than her becoming a fixture of Washington for the next 50 years.
I don't know how Pelosi became this issues poster child, other than normal Republican boogie-man creators. She's bad, don't get me wrong, but far from the worst.
Here's a look at the top 10 for 2024:
Even your tiny modicum of respect for her behavior is exactly what's wrong with everything right now.
This acceptance of institutional raiding for the sake of individual material gain has completely eroded any sort of civic reprisal. These actions are inherently antisocial and yet we have people praising folks who "got their bag".
America deserves what it's getting.
