Um, dude, maybe it should be political against Pelosi considering she was the second most powerful politician in the US and might be the most prolific inside trader in American history.
There’s no reality where a bill like this can pass right now regardless of how it’s named. Even if Hawley’s motives are shitty, bringing more attention to this issue is nothing but a good thing and is the only way something can ever be done about it someday.

It is disingenuous to portray the naming of the bill as anything other than a political swipe at the left.

>Fuck Josh Hawley especially for the name of the bill - Pelosi is one of many
Why? Yes, Pelosi is one of many politician inside traders, but she was third in line to be president and the third most powerful politician in the country (arguably second since the VP is a figurehead) for like a zillion years. Her insider trading is much more egregious than some nobody Congressman from Idaho. She had much more control over what legislation gets pushed and voted on and how it affected the market. And if there’s a politician who’s made more from insider trading than Pelosi, I’m not aware of it. She absolutely deserves her name on the bill far and above anyone else.
The name on the bill is only to point a spotlight at this stuff anyway. It never did and never will have a chance in hell of passing.

Call the registrar’s office and ask them. It will save a lot of time jacking around on the missouristate.edu website. 417-836-5000. Ask for the registrar’s office. Then explain that you‘re a dual credit student and need to drop your course and don’t know how. Let them help you, and follow the steps.

I’m not a conservative but I agree and echo your sentiments. My problem with Josh is that he doesn’t seem to be trying to help his constituents. He rails against big tech and neoconservatism. He is always quick to trash the other side and hate on democrats but I don’t see him putting in any real work for the people of Missouri. He doesn’t seem to have a good agenda and rather seems to pursue aggressive sound bites. I think he is trying to position himself and his wife as the all American, wholesome family…a cleaned up version of Trump. It doesn’t come off as genuine at all.

way i heard it was he didnt fully support other versions because it banned members, immediate family/spouses and secondary relatives.
this bill doesnt say anything about secondary family members.
so he could still have his brother in law trade on whatever.

This is the legislative equivalent of him wearing blue jeans and a flannel shirt in a campaign ad. He's as much a populist as I am a secret millionaire.

I don't think you should take the position that politicians should go to jail for claiming an election was stolen. Plenty of Dems have made this claim as well.
In the same sense that everyone charged with a crime should have a right to a lawyer, politicians should have the right to challenge an election (even when they are clearly wrong).
