Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can’t figure out why she’s not allowed to take presents from people or crash for free at a friend’s place because she can’t afford a place to rent until she starts making the big bucks as a ‘public servant’.
In fact, she says her mind is blown over it.
This blows my mind: House Ethics Rules prevent me from receiving a $100 gift card, or crashing at a place as I wait for rent ?, but somehow allow members w/ investment portfolios to write laws that will personally enrich them $1000s in their own stocks; potentially millions. https://t.co/E9L1cVubFe

We know, Alexandria.
Your mind has likely always been blown.
This is the downside of the political stunt of voting against member allowance or pay increases.
Politicians can get on a high horse about declining their own pay increase, and then write nefarious loopholes to allow use of leg power to make money in potentially unethical ways.

Wait, wasn’t she just complaining about how she couldn’t accept gifts from people? isn’t that sorta nefarious?
Lmaoooo this is why you ran for Congress .

You talking about Pelosi, right? She still doing that insider trading?
— Duggles (@macduggles) December 18, 2018
Pelosi is a multi-millionaire for a reason, Alexandria.
Ask Pelosi about her investment portfolio & how she has benefitted as a servant of the ppl. So much BS.

Perhaps you should Google Nancy Pelosi shorts Visa stock.
