They’re available....in fact they have to fill out some paperwork.

But being rich when you’ve spent most of your adult life as a public servant is a tip-off that you might be dishonest.

Being poor is not a sign of honesty but going from middle class to millionaire on a 175k salary is a sure sign of corruption. That is the path for the majority of congressmen.

No, and it should have been - how has that woman gotten rich? How has her position benefited her husband?

Here’s what we know about business insider. They think tge voters give a crap about Mike Johnson’s personal finances

They could point out the personal finances of the president of tge US as tgey relate to foreign input and debt

They’re so ideologically driven they’re blind

We care about our own finances more than either of these items. We care that the House kept giving our tax money to foreign governments. Per Nancy mace we spend more on g
Foreign aid tgan our own roads

We’re 33 trillion in debt. Does BI want to point that out? My liberal family and friends don’t know tgat

BI could do what it purports to do and inform its readers. Of such things

Johnson is just getting started. I’ve never seen him on a talk show. Tge lobbyists don’t know him

He didn’t get there by media nor establishment connections

They don’t own him, they have no power over him

This bashing will go on for the next 20 years he’s in that spot

Here’s something BI and the rest can consider. Mike Rogers was put into office by the US voters. They made it known to their congresssitters that they are in charge. The people.

They will ignore all of the nonsense they know is coming

“ I won’t be surprised if some jackball prosecutor in New Orleans brings charges against him just like the moronic charges against Trump

Neither will he.

I was just thinking about the media coverage of Nancy Pelosi’s finances.

That being “none.”

The ONLY apparently honest man in congress.

We have a little state spiinator who, when campaigning in '22, told me he was flat broke. Just after he was elected he spudded in on a huge house. Go figure.

Biden has five multimillion dollar homes. On a senate salary

Trump forfeited his presidential salary for four years in office 400k+ per year to charity. Does BI mention that?

Gaetz doesn’t take PAC money. Start there

The media doesn’t even cover it when irregularities come to light. I mean, Hunter Biden sells ‘paintings’ for a quarter of a million dollars, and the media just shrugs. Not even a hint of curiosity about it.
