Sorry OP, you’re either disingenuous, or not smart enough to see what this bill doesn’t do. It allows stock and security trading through a blind trust, except, we all know that people who are fine with insider trading aren’t going to play by those rules. This whole bill is designed for one thing, “owning the libs,” which it doesn’t do, because even a cursory reading reveals it to be utter garbage, and not capable of preventing the most basic corruption. Pair that with the fact that Hawley is a seditious piece of shit, and you have a recipe for…absolutely nothing of consequence.

>Bullying remains alive, well, and tolerated at the school

Well...for starters I just find his slick ivy league persona to be slimy and prototypical politician who carefully curates his positions and statements based on what is most likely to propel him up the next rung in the ladder. On that note - everyone knew he had bigger ambitions when he first ran for statewide office and still he denied/lied about it.

I don't hate all his positions, I just don't care for him as a politician because I think he is too into making waves and big splashy scenes. I believe his one and only motive is advancing his career as far as he possibly can - I just don't see him as a public servant, maybe I'm wrong. In my opinion the left hates him for much of the same reason the right so vehemently hates AOC. Yeah the positions are trash but all the talk and attention getting on top of it just makes it unbearable.

Most conservative people I know don't really seem to view him as a very useful or productive senator. But they would vote for him vs someone who will go along with Biden and the democrats.

yup everything goes to the team :)

I went to Greenwood, Catholic and Parkview, and Greenwood was the hardest one to endure. There was definitely a clique and bullying issue that made things difficult to navigate as an awkward youth, and because there isn't a huge student body, there's not a lot of places to go for other friend groups. My class itself had an issue where the 'smart' (driven) students would do the homework and the rest of the 'in' crowd of the class would copy it, but that class in and of itself was problematic to the extreme. They bullied teachers as well as students, and a lot of focus was put on not rocking the boat, aka, dealing with a cultural issue amongst the students that was clearly hostile. Again, it could be better now, but the politics of the office and the way the student body could get away with some pretty heinous behavior did not ever make me feel like I had an official avenue of recourse. I came in around 6th grade, so all these people already had relationships for years before this, and even some of them were permanently on the 'outs' because they were just a bit odd. The only black student I ever saw going there (at least in the secondary part) was bullied into leaving quite soon after they arrived. I'd say 95% of my class was white. So even that sort of 'innocuous' homogeny became an issue.

There are a lot of opportunities there, and some of my favorite/best teachers taught there, but there was also a lot of meh teachers. I will say the issue of the not-so-knowledgeable coach teaching history as a joke class is not as much of a phenomenon there as some other schools, so that's good. Student teachers from the college were a huge hit and miss. One semester I got stuck with some lunkhead leading both my science and math courses, and I felt I missed out on a lot because of it. Having greater access to the MSU campus as a whole was neat. I felt the arts program lacked greatly; no orchestra, only band and choir (the teachers were good, though). No theatre department at all, did like one school play while I was there. Not a lot in the way of art equipment like kilns, dark room, etc. I don't think shop/home ec or anything like that was ever offered.

I'd check in with the opportunities at your local public school--Parkview had a wider variety of classes and I earned college credit there quite easily even after switching schools twice and not performing great (Bs and Cs) up to that point. And socially, it was so much easier to find my 'group' when there were more people to choose from.

It doesn’t even do what it claims to do. It’s like a Swiss cheese of family exemptions and carve outs for blind trusts. Completely performative, just like everything else this fascist prick does.

Just curious, what do you dislike about Hawley? I have heard enough from all the liberals on this sub about how horrible he his, but I haven't heard it from a conservative perspective.

Agreed! Fuck Josh Hawley!

No implication; I'd heard something along those lines and thought I'd ask. The bill in the article was introduced, but never voted on. Also, the addition of "in principle" does a lot of heavy lifted in that quoted chunk.

Also your 2nd link is not the current bill but the previous one. Here is the current one: https://www.hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2023-01/LEW23036.pdf

from you first link:

> While the House leadership bill is driven by top Democrats, some notable Republicans have, in principle, supported the idea of a congressional stock ban; Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Rep.

So he did support it before. Unlike what a few others have implied in this thread. Like u/Lachet

Hawley generally sucks but has some good little guy moves like this

I don’t have a pic of the receipt, kicking myself, but do have a pic of taking my family. This was June 23, 2021 and haven’t been back.

I don’t mind paying tips, but I want it to go to the people who make the experience, not a corporation not even in the state. So this is good to hear!

as an employee of the alamo… the service charge goes to not only your waiter but the kitchen and bar crew that worked on your stuff. you can tip more if you want but it’s not an obligation.

This bill has no chance to pass, and Hawley knows this and drafted it in bad faith.

The Republicans (politicians) aren't going to want this passed and their party's voting history in the matter of regulations such as this or anti-lobbying measures is consistently to vote against it.

That seems to be the consensus from the pass the bill grime

Well said. Credibility lost at first sight of the title is a prime red flag for clout chasing. Simply enact change. We don't need to see which side is snickering at said change, you're all capable of it which is where we should draw the line.

Even though I am generally conservative I dislike Hawley (almost) as much as most of the liberals on this site. But this is a good thing here.

Like you I am not really a fan of the name because it makes it sound like a joke and dials up the partisanship when in reality it's not a partisan issue. Automatically makes it a non-starter for most if not every democrat and that's unfortunate.

But you are right it will never get any traction and the fact that it won't get traction just underscores how corrupt and self serving politicians generally are.

In all reality this is probably just another political stunt by this guy to generate some headlines and buzz and keep his name in the spotlight.

I didn't research it but I wouldn't be surprised if republicans, in the past, blocked a similar bill from Dems simply because they didn't want Dems to get "a win." That doesn't suggest Reps will also block this bill. If anything the Dems well because they want the "win."

I think his assumption is the most reasonable seeing as how the Republicans have already prevented a legitimate version of this bill by voting against it. Why should anyone assume this is more than attention grabbing and 'owning the libs' from a well-established jackass?

I'd show my support for either. If Hawley can get it to a vote, more power to him. If whoever sponsored the one you mention can, more power to them too.

Maybe the Hawley Act should prevent politicians from running for office while living in a different state. He cheats by using his sister's address in Ozark. He should not be able to represent our state when he absolutely does not reside here.

At home?

There's already another bipartisan bill regarding this that's failed twice and has been introduced for a 3rd time. Joshy boy is just looking for some pub.
