She's claiming she was "hacked" but even so, she had a picture, on HER phone, she took of her daughters phone displaying the photo.

She is crazy.

@Dwazza Gunnar Solskjær you might want to have a think.
I feel bad for that kid. First living through the shame of having her mother run interference for Trump (debasing herself in the process), and now this?

Christ.

Can you not explain why you have posted this?
There's nothing technically illegal, but its highly unethical, look at the trading done by Congress just before the Coronavirus hit. As I said its what "Freedom" lookslike in the US, the ability to hold high position powerful jobs with first hand access to information before anyone else and still be able to trade the stock market, it should not be legal, but it is.

I don't get it still. What information? What you posted shows that she made some stock trades. Just before corona virus hit? It wasn't exactly an overnight thing.

You genuinely can’t see the issue with lawmakers trading individual stocks, given the level of inside information they are privy to?

It’s not illegal but there’s no question it’s unethical. She’s bought serious weight in stocks of companies many people had hoped would be subject to stricter regulationsunder the Democrats.

The post doesn't explain any of that. I'm bothered by posts that aren't very clear.

The fact someone like this can get elected to congress, and moreover is likely an accurate representative of their constituents, is insane. We are so broken.

Well nor do the Qanon nutters.
Over the last few days the state GOP orgs of AZ,OR, and Hawaii have all passed some sore of resolutions supporting that Trump won. PA is not far behind. We had an armed insurrection spurred on by the two front runners for the GOP in 24 and the sitting president. We have congress members in the GOP who are so scared of violence from the OWN constituents that they are going to or have voted to let Trump off. The rabid, radicalized, Q-Anon base is running the GOP right now.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. AZ and OR are going more and more dem and who gives a feck about Hawaii?

It is not the states themselves, they are just the first to show the underlying rot on the surface. It may not be 22 or even 24, but in the next few cycles the GOP is going to need to purge itself, fracture, or fully embrace the rot. This is not like the Dem, where the may factions war with each other over policy. The GOP battle is a war over what constitutes reality. "Moderate" leaders are already starting to bail (Portman, Thune etc.). If they are replaced by Laura Trump and Gym Jordan as candidates, let alone winners, do you not think that is going to further push us into the nut zone?

At the risk of a banning, perhaps it's time certain Q persons that have legit power (via elected to office) are held to answer to their bullshit, ala Boondock Saints style.

Wrong movie as those Q types think they are the ones being called by God.

Random thought, does the term "breaking news" mean anything in american tv networks? I swear every single show stars with "we have breaking news about..." and then they proceed to talk about a topic they've been reporting for a couple of days, sometimes adding a minor detail to the story. Bit annoying really.

To be fair, Apple and Tesla aren't up and coming stocks where insider information is going to lead to insane gains.

It started in the past 10 years, and I agree, it’s annoying, and misrepresenting what “real” breaking news is, therefore the public gets numb to the posting of “Breaking News” and on and on we go

My brain can't get pregnant!

Not sure how much support it will get. They also need to get rid of a couple of other loons as well.


Above the Law... Livin like hustlers.

And here's why she should be expelled. The hypocrisy of her getting people threatened with arrest for asking questions yet she stalks a mass school shooting survivor like this?

fecking disgusting nasty piece of work. This is pure evil and harassment of people who suffered a horrific ordeal that nobody should ever have to endure. Especially not at school ffs!

I have a feeling that this is a good snapshot of how most of her day to day conversations go. Her asking bat shit crazy questions and people power walking away

When do we start asking questions about the district that elected this kind of bigoted nut job?
Imagine living in that kind of area?
We can say she shouldn't be in congress all we want but the truth is that she is in congress because she's a bigoted nut job.

She ran unopposed.

Of course, there’s the matter of her being able to win the primary in the first place, but it’s still a travesty that there was literally no opposition in that kind of area, which makes a Doug Jones/Roy Moore scenario not even viable.

Probably a district where a chimp would win the election if it had a republican tag.
The fact that these things didn't turn off the voters makes me think there's no point expelling her.
Her district would just replace her with another racist qanon cnut.

She didn’t run unopposed in the beginning . There was a Democrat but he dropped out after being threatened and harassed by her supporters.

It's sickening that a case of revenge porn forces Katie Hill from her job yet this dumb bitch and all her fecking delusional lies walks right in and continues being a fecking idiot.

It was the second safest district in GA, slightly behind the one immediately two its east. It’s also the district with the second highest percentage of white voters along with the one east (both in the mid to high 80%). Both districts are probably in the top 30 safest Republican districts in the US, there as close to locks as possible.

Who knows what will transpire over the next two years, but as long as the white population in N. Georgia stays somewhat solidly around or above 80%, these two districts are those that help the Republicans have that 20ish seat lead at the outset of every House election.

It’s utterly nauseating. Maybe she would have survived in a safer D district, but the right wing hate machine was fully arrayed against her when they smelled blood in the water.
