Summary

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, fractured her hip after a fall down a marble staircase in Luxembourg during a Congressional visit marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

Pelosi, who was hospitalized but remains alert and working, plans to return to the U.S. soon.

The incident, coupled with recent falls by other aging lawmakers like Sen. Mitch McConnell, has renewed calls for Congressional term limits.

Pelosi’s visit held personal significance, as her uncle was killed in the historic WWII battle.

    Ironically everyone who subscribes to that is literally pumping her every stock decision. It’s wild how it’s still that profitable.

      Yeah. I did it on a lark just to see, but it was so good I’m scared to swap. Anti-Kramer is outperforming, though…

        Anti-kramer still cracks me up every time I hear about it lol. It makes you wonder, though, if the trackers are largely responsible for the success of the investments.

          Who knows with markets? I throw a couple hundred bucks at it every month and try not to look at it other than to see if I’m wasting my money. My Pelosi shit is up by about 15%, but overall I’m at 12.5% with my ETF performance being meh.

          In any case, it’s all fucking fabricated. We’re speculating on thoughts.
