In the month he has left in office?
This is just a fucking PR stunt and won’t go anywhere.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If it reveals GOP hipocracy on how they treat Pelosi vs their own stock traders, then maybe a little PR would do a lot of good.
The ball is in Republican court, money where their mouth is, the DNC is ready to ban stock trading for its members even if it means expulsion of Nancy Pelosi who married a stock broker decades ago.
He couldn't and didn't pursue this when he wasn't a lame duck. Get real on that fixing your legacy in a month thing
Please describe how he has been a lame duck president. Given he represents a party that is outnumbered in the Senate. And let's table the Israeli/Palestine conflict since this forum of discussion doesn't really work well for full history and geopolitical strategy history lessons.
lame duck
noun
An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor.
He's the definition of a lame duck president right now. That's not saying anything bad, or good, about the man, just the fact of his current position.
All presidents become lame ducks after their last election but before the next president takes office.
Just using it for a temporal reference as he's out of time in his presidency. Any other meaning not intended.
Thanks for nothing dipshit.
Making the calculated decision to do this not only in his lame duck period but also right up against Christmas and before the new congress is sworn in on Jan 3. So brave.
Honestly this is more of an insult than helpful for those of us who actually want to see this happen.
it says, "we acknowledge your concerns and will continue to do it because you're helpless to stop it"
Fox News actually covered this for about 2 minutes and their talking points were as follows:
- HuNTeRs LaPToP ThO! HIPOCRIT!
Hahaha. Good one.
