'Our Political Leaders Are Still Behaving Like Drunken Sailors Aboard a Sinking Ship' - What a profound statement!

[Wọlé O™ @WoleOgundare]

Key discussion on subsidy removal that shares a very good perspective.

Listen!

@PeterObi let's go

Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.

During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.

I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.

A New Nigeria is POssible. - PO

Happy birthday to the woman who lights up every room she walks into. I love you, Miche.

This young man opened a fish business and reduced the price for poor Nigerians. He was killed by his competitors the following week.

The incident happened in Anambra State.

President Trump was asked about the bill.

“Well I like it conceptually. I don’t know about it, but I like it conceptually.

You know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information- she made a fortune with her husband. I think that’s disgraceful.”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Anyway…

The bill ended up passing committee and it’s on its way to the Senate floor. Hawley was the only Republican yes vote.

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Senator Moreno of Ohio:

“Senator, with all due respect, sending something out Friday through some random computer system is also disrespectful to people on this committee.”

Senator Gary Peters of Michigan:

“Senator, we do use computers in the senate. I know that might be kind of weird for you, but we do use those.”

Moreno: “Mr. Peters if you want to have a ‘who knows more about technology battle,’ let’s have that battle.

I know more about technology IN MY PINKY THAN YOU DO.”

Gotta love that old Ohio/ Michigan hate 😅

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Now the fun begins.

Hawley: “For those who know ahead of time that they are going to join this body, they can no longer use qualified blind trusts.

The reason for that, as you (Senator Lankford) know, the rules on qualified blind trusts are not air tight. They are actually very loose. It is very difficult to police and YOU don’t police them in the ethics committee.” 👀

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Senator Johnson cleared the record and said he does not trade stocks himself.

“I agree with the spirit of this.”

“We have too many career politicians- we don’t have enough people who have experience in the private sector. We need more, we need to encourage them- not discourage them.

This piece of legislation would be hugely discouraging to people from the private sector coming here and serving.”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan:

“We have a problem. To address that, I’m willing to make the good work instead of waiting for the perfect.

So of course I want the president and the vice president to be held accountable…but I think it’s important that we at least make a start.”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Senator Hawley clears up some misconceptions-

“The terms of the bill will take effect upon the beginning of their next term.”

“It’s the same treatment for all office holders.

Members of the house- it will take effect upon the beginning of their next term if they are reelected.

Members of the senate- it will take effect upon the beginning of their next term if they are reelected.

The president and the vice president- will take effect the beginning of their next term and so on.”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky:

“If this is a great bill, if this is the greatest thing since sliced bread and it’s really necessary- it should apply to Donald Trump.

But the fact that they don’t want to apply it to Donald Trump means that it’s a really crummy bill.”

“I will oppose the substitute change because I think it should apply to everybody or nobody.”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Senator Johnson of Wisconsin:

“You could relabel this law ‘the career politician protection act’ because it will make it so unattractive for people to give up their business.”

“We have plenty of protections, we have the disclosure- this is a completely unnecessary piece of legislation.”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Senator Rick Scott of Florida asks how you are supposed to sell an illiquid asset.

Senator Hawley: “You’re concerned about the illiquid asset provision? It’s the same one you voted for last year…”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

First Hawley (who doesn’t own stock) explains why this bill is so important.

“86% of Americans say members of Congress should not be able to buy and sell shares of stock.”

“We’ve seen the former speaker of the house make millions of dollars of profits.”

“We’ve seen members of both parties, I’m sad to say, be investigated for their stock trades.”

“And the reason for all of this is, that quite frankly, members of this body are privy to information that the normal person just is not.”

[Anna Matson @AnnaRMatson]

Who needs cable when you can watch Congress for free?

Senator Josh Hawley introduced his bill to ban stock trading and the room LIT up.
