Buy not take, as they have done for every road, government building, dam, airport...in the country (more or less).
No, it's take because many of those being taken don't want to sell. A forced issue ought to be called taken.
Wikipedia lists her at $16 Million, no. 30 on the list of Congressional members according to estimated wealth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_members_of_the_United_States_Congress_by_wealth. I imagine some of that came from book deals.
This is what I saw, also wikipedia Financial status Although members of Congress are not required to disclose their exact net worth, organizations such as the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) prepare estimated ranges based on public disclosures. In 2009, CRP reported Pelosi's average net worth was $58,436,537 having ranked 13th among 25 wealthiest members of Congress.[216] In 2014, CRP reported Pelosi's average net worth in 2014 was $101,273,023 having ranked 8th out of 25 wealthiest members of Congress.[217] Roll Call's Wealth of Congress Index reported that Pelosi's net worth was $29.35 million and that she ranked the 15th wealthiest member of Congress for 2014.[218] According to Roll Call, Pelosi and her husband hold properties "worth at least $14.65 million, including a St. Helena vineyard in Napa Valley worth at least $5 million, and commercial real estate in San Francisco."[218] Roll Call said Pelosi's earnings are connected to her husband's heavy investments in stocks including "Apple, Comcast, Facebook, Shutterfly and Walt Disney."[218] Roll Call reported that the Pelosis have $13.46 million in liabilities including mortgages on seven properties.[218] Business Insider reported that Pelosi's worth was $26.4 million in 2012 and made her the 13th richest members of Congress.[1]
You gotta be fucking kidding me... The house AND the Republican controlled senate BOTH passed a CR that the president himself VOWED to sign. He got in hot room with Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter and wilted like a little bitch.... Lest ye forget...
Are you in here defending Trump? Why are we talking shit about Pelosi because she's rich? That doesn't somehow make her wrong about funding a wall does it? I'm confused.
Yeah but saying the whole "both sides are corrupt" is a false equivalence. It's not a double standard at all. Republicans ACTIVELY pass legislation to try to keep black people from voting. The Democrats aren't doing that...
It's so funny to me: One side wants border security, but in ONLY ONE WAY AND ONE WAY ONLY One side wants border security, but it has to include upgrades at port of entries, etc. You know... where the majority of drugs and violence actually come in from. Somehow that got lost in the temper tantrum of that person in the house. Because he's so scared to look weak, even though people with an ounce of knowledge and common sense already know and see him as weak. (So, you know, not his base.)
Haha...Trump just shut down Pelosi's European vacation she planned on taxpayer's dime. Between the new commie additions to the Dem party opposing her and mocking her, the continual quoting of her refusals to come to the negotiating table and conduct government business openly and honestly, and the continual outing of swamprat Dems wasting taxpayer's money on travel and lobbying/campaigning, this is like watching a train wreck.
He's not a "sophisticated double agent". He tried but he's terrible at that. What he is is an "unindicted co conspirator".
Power move. Somebody who just doesn't give a fuck will always be able to pull a bigger power move than somebody who is worried about offending people
I agree with you that our current president just doesn't give a fuck. As a government contractor, I'm just glad the program I work for is already funded. If I was 1 of the 800,000 that isnt getting a paycheck I would be even more annoyed by this pointless back and forth between Pelosi and Trump.
You do realize that A) She already cancelled the trip and B) His own secretary of treasury is going on a trip. I know, being outside of your bubble is scary, but truth hurts. Have a fantastic day.
Wrong. The flight was cancelled an hour before it was scheduled to leave. Awkward. And guess what? Trump's Secretary of Treasury will not be travelling either.
That lying swamprat. 'You Liar!': Chaffetz Slams Nancy Pelosi's Call for State of the Union Delay Pelosi suggests Trump submit address in writing. Former Utah congressman and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for urging President Trump to delay his planned State of the Union address amid the partial government shutdown. Pelosi (D-Calif) on Wednesday suggested Trump postpone the televised address -- scheduled for Jan. 29 -- until the shutdown ends, or submit the address in writing. “Sadly, given the security concerns and unless the government re-opens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to Congress on January 29," Pelosi wrote in a letter to Trump. Today, I wrote to @realDonaldTrump recommending that we delay the State of the Union until after government re-opens, as the @SecretService, the lead federal agency for #SOTU security, faces its 26th day without funding. https://t.co/K2oL8WGvqo pic.twitter.com/g3fIlxDbbK — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) January 16, 2019 On a special live audience edition of "Fox & Friends" Thursday, Chaffetz said when he heard Pelosi speak about delaying the State of the Union, his first thought was, "You liar!" Rep. Jordan: Pelosi Urging SOTU Postponement Underscores That Democrats Are Focused on 'Stopping' Trump He took issue with Pelosi citing "security concerns," pointing out that the Capitol Police and Secret Service are fully funded despite the shutdown. "It was just two weeks ago Nancy Pelosi went to the floor and said, 'We're going to be transparent, we're gonna be a town hall, we're gonna allow debate.' She wants to shut down the debate because she knows the president will win this argument," Chaffetz said. He said he's proud of Trump for "forcing the issue" and demanding funding for border security, including his long-promised wall. "We have to find a resolution to this," Chaffetz said. "The president's going to win this fight, though, because it's the right fight. It's what the border security experts want, it's for national security, it's protecting our nation, and Democrats have a huge problem on their hands." https://insider.foxnews.com/2019/01...i-urging-state-union-sotu-delay-amid-shutdown
