I don't understand, it is written and proposed by a Republican and you think the Reps are the problem? Do you expect the Dems to be in favor of this bill written by Reps?

It won't pass, every Republican would vote against it.

Can you link to a source that shows her being the worst violator?

you can read the text of the bill. Trust isn't required.

Does "call him on it" mean pass the bill in this case?

I understand he cheered a group of people outside the Capitol (?) building, before that same group decided to break into the building and try to disrupt the electoral process. I don't understand why people are saying he should be in prison for that. It's not illegal to cheer a group, and it's reasonable to assume he didn't know what they were about to do.
Did he do something else I'm not aware of?

The problem is the name is all that will keep it in the news. It might make it out of committee, but it will never pass on the floor regardless of the name.
These money grabbers will never vote against their own personal interests...I hope to be proven wrong.

It's hard to listen to what a corrupt politician is peddling, even when the bill they're selling has the mask of anti-corruption on it.
For me, it's not about liking or not liking the man. It's about trust. I don't trust a single thing Hawley does, and I certainly don't believe he's simply working in good faith to help stop lawmakers from using their positional advantage when trading stocks.
IMO this goes for all politicians, really. I think most things they publicly do and say should be approached with skepticism.

One of these days Joshy’s little Nazbol act is gonna bite him in the ass. This bill’s a bluff, but I hope Dems call him on it, because we desperately need this ban.

Main roads are just wet. Some of the side roads are slushy so when I had to make a sharp turn I fish tailed slightly. But really it’s not bad.

It's people like you, both on the left and the right, that are the problem with our country right now. Can't see the forest through the partisan trees.

I agree. The name could have been better. I mean, Pelosi is pretty well known as the worst violator of insider trading... But I'd prefer if Hawley left room for bipartisanship instead of slapping the Dems in the face.

Clear but wet is how I would describe them.

Westport school has a big ass hill leading down to the football field. Very fun, but pretty steep. They do have a smaller one off to the side though if you have littles.

The name is actually the 14th Amendment.

You know someone is completely blinded by their partisanship when they can't even consider the message because of the messenger. It's a heavily emotional reaction.
The insanity of this kind of logic or rather lack of it: Obama didn't support gay marriage in 2007 and prior therefore everything good he did after that is immediately poisoned and we shouldn't have the ACA or expanded medicaid.
Oh and members from both parties- biased GOP database of Dem allegations have been challenging the integrity of elections and insisting about various ones being stolen since 2000. There's dems who insist that Stacey Abrams in GA had the governorship stolen from her - all while justifiably flipping out about the 2020 stolen election nonsense.
If we want to be consistent about this, fine. But each side is willing to allege fraud when they lose, so if we immediately insist the well is poisoned for any good law or reform they propose, we would never get anything done.

Main roads typically fare better than residential. All that I’ve seen are completely clear.

I'm not actually trying to make that claim (although it may be true). I am claiming she is the most well known for being an inside trader. In other words, her name shows up most in news headlines and whatnot about it. She has the name recognition for this particular form of corruption.
