It is no wonder that American politicians are so rich.
Nancy Pelosi is another. She was in charge of the investigation for breaking up monopolies but made large stock purchases in these companies a few days before announcing that the cases were dead.
The Art of Corruption, American style.
She did what any smart trader would.
She bought the fear.
FFS, I was saying that on here while markets dumping. No prior knowledge required.
Pelosi made plays BEFORE THE MAJOR MOVES HAPPENED...while she has first hand knowledge of legislation that would affect those companies.
Big difference.
In 2014 the Majoity House and Senate was xcontroled by the Repblican Party woth support of a few Democrats passd a law that prohibit inside trading and submitted it to Obama for signature. Included in the law was another enrichment proces of U S politicians - they provided advice to companies how to use measures to circumvent the laws passed by Congress through using gaps in laws - a special income source enriching especially Democrat politicias - a process in which Pelosi and Schumer as well as scores of Democrat politicians and a few Republicans specialized,
Obama called a press conference when the leadeship of the House and Senate handed him the draft law passed the by Congress and stated publicly how delighted he was that Congress at last came up with legislature to ban a system that discedit USA legislature and promised to sign the law sumitted to him for signature. However, it was a scam His advisors was set to work and they gutted the law and left it totally defective and he sent the revised law back to Congress to reconsider, Since at the time 60 Senators had to support passing of laws the support of the Democrats vsnished and the draft law was shelved.
Onto 2022 a new draft law was submitted to the House and Pelosi refused to table it in the House for cisuideration since it would according to her there was not enough support for submission of the law for consideration by the House and Senate - with its Democrat majority in teh Senate it would not consider the new legialation,
So the USA still has no law that banned inside trading and cofrruption of politicians and two recent examples are evident namely -
One can be sure that before the Democrats organized the present attacks on Tesla started Democrat poliicians got riid of the vehicles they got through using of the subsidy system - one Democrat Senator (Kelly) publicly stated he was getting rid of his Tesla vehicle before the terrrist attacks started and one can eb absolutely sure Pelosi sod te shares before the attacks started,
Most legisltures in democratic Governments worldwide ban such practices - in the USA corruption by legislatures in the USA reigns supreme.
By the way Greene bought shares when prices fell knowring full well the shares are bound to rise after the fall and most of the share priices are already on the rise. In Greene's case there were no corruption involved - everbody world wide knew that Trump made no secret in his insitstence of proper trade deals between countries and the tariffs he would introduce in the absence of such deals. It as just a standard attack on Greene by the media wh reported something in a way that create an impresssin of wrongdoing - but not worth the paper it was written on.
When recently new legislation on the issue was discussed there were some Republican Senators who joined the Democrats in insisting that polticians are not to be forced to sell shares they owned for many years and there is no agreement needed to pass now legislation that prevent insider trading on the table at present, In general the objection of most Senators is a ban in sharehlding that some Republicans insist on - but some people hold shares in such companies for many years even dating back before they entered poltics,
A real nightmare n USA poltics remained in place,
.
Ja Plum...obviously she believes that Trump is doing the correct thing and that the markets will correct again...as do we...it's not rocket science...
...and on a side note, nobody is complaining anymore about the 10% tariff left in place...shock, chaos, calm...the plan all along...and now everyone's ready to make deals.
Another thing that I said on here before it happened, Draad.
Trump was making them feel the pain first and then allowing them to approach for negotiation...and everybody wants to negotiate.
The lefties will claim that it's because everybody wants sanity to prevail and it's all so altruistic. Actually, they already had a sweet deal with the US...so much that even half of it is still a good deal.
Normally one would try to paint the picture before you negotiate. But why do that when you're able to actually deliver the pain for a period.
...the next point of interest will be to see how Trump plays the FED because he'll need them to get in line if he wants to beat China.
LOL Trump could serve you lot a burnt car tyre for dinner and you would call it delicious steak.
"LOL Trump could serve you lot a burnt car tyre for dinner and you would call it delicious steak."
Indeed. It's honestly hard to believe just how brainwashed and gullible these Trumpanzees are.
Bozo makes blunder after blunder and these drooling half-wits just drink the Kool Aid and say it was all part of some grand plan that we're not smart enough to understand.
LMAO!
It remains to be seen how much long-term damage Trump has done to the US bond markets from long-term loans. America is no longer a reliable trading partner. Any agreement with America is non-binding because Trump can tear it up the next week.
The number of countries that no longer want the dollar to be the reserve currency is growing. If inflation rises in America, Trump will be toast- the American Liz Truss. Even "some" of the Trumpanzees will turn on him at that stage.
SB\
Start using your brain for a short monment - long term it is impossible. The USA evconomy was going diwn the drain and idf the situation inheried by Trump was allowe to conmtinue the onomy with dollar used for trade will coollapse as well.
Trump never tore up trade agreements unless the other signee cheat o the USA has intoruced shit policies like happened under Biden. For example to pleas the greenies Biden stopped ree-cuttinmg in teh USA and as a result timber was mported from Canada, A a result of theope border policy of Biiden illegal imports and migrants flooded ino the USA,
As a result of hugely negatiive trade balances and shit cooruption in the Federal Government the USA debt increasrd by 10 trillion opver the las 4 years - under Bush Junior it increased by $8,3 trillion in 8 years (war costs) - under Obama it increased with a further $9,5 trillion (wast and corruption) and uner Trump $7 trillion (5 of which ss grants to help people overcoing the impact of C ovid - $5,4 trillion). Under Biden the USA economy gpot sl;aughtered by maladministration and corruption. The Biden family made a firtune out of the Ukrainme War - a string of DP Sentaors and leadership the same happened, n
Under Trump an effot is underway to get rid of maladministration and corruption. As to the cotribution of trade balances is concerned Trump has a businessslike approach and that is that trade treaties need to be iin place to stop abuse of the USA in the trade system. The pproach to just let in im[ports woth very limoted cpntrolssre part of the presenr problem.
The companies which exported jobs out of the USA are going to suffer for many years untl they move their production back to the USA,

There are many dumb Americans that agree with you
However, conservatives, independents and liberals - who have brains, do not.
Also, those with impartiality can see that mainstream governments have not done a good enough job, hence why America have a populist liar in charge that gaslights the dumb.
MTG was wisely paying attention to the fear and greed index.
Don't think for yourself VisKop, just buy when the number on that page is below 20...sell your first 1/3 at 70, second 1/3 at 80 and then the final 1/3 somewhere over 85.
And then wait for it to go below 20 again...repeat.
We're at 17 now...and we'll be over 70 later this year.
Heres is a historical Fear and Greed index chart...
https://en.macromicro.me/charts/50108/cnn-fear-and-greed
You can see market prices in relation to how fearful or greedy people are.
Now, look at that in relation to my advice above...
Chedar is cheaper than in years!
MTG was wisely
The mind simply boggles that someone could ever put those letters and words into a sentence in that order.
When Trump posted that on social media, it was not abundantly clear that he would drop the tariffs.
He did not say, "Hey, I am about to drop the tariffs later today, so the stock market will improve.
If he told people this offline (which he did), it is insider trading.
ButtPlug
MTG was wisely paying attention to the fear and greed index.
Here, read before you get onto your soap box and if it's too hard for you to understand let us know there's plenty of help around.
On Wednesday morning, the president posted on his social media site truth Social: “NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!”
Greene, it appears, listened to the advice.
The congresswoman bought stock in big brands like Lululemon, Dell Computer, Amazon, and the parent of Restoration Hardware after they dropped by around 40 percent on average late last week.
Insider trading by members of this gangster government dictatorship.
Corruption, there's a stench about, but it's fine with the cult puppets.
She bought the fear says the 'Plug'...Bwhahahahhhaaa
As a last resort there's always Ole Sleepy Joe.
This is standard B S with no ojbect other than to attack Trump for trying to wipe out maladministraion,ideological ultra-leftist BS and bribry and corrupion in he USA Government, There is no idea what was wrong under Obama and Biden.
So was the USA Economy healthy under the two mentioned. It was not and the dollar was going down the drain with half of the dollars in use in foreign hands as a result of the poor and corrupt leadership of the USA. Amogst the Democrats the case was why is corruption so dear to them - because they made money out of it. To continue with the steal they got and the.Justtce Depatment and FBI under their control as partners in crime.
Take for instance he Hunter Biden laptop, It was a documentary of how the corruption system works, Hunter was a drug addict ad everybody knew he was and likely still is - even though he claied he is not anymore, What is wrst is that FBI refised to investogate the laptop handed to them in January 2020 by the owner of the repair shop who knew the FBI was crooked from top to bottom so he made copies of the hard drive before he handed the laptop to them, Another report confirming Biden family corruption was hushed up by the FBI were reports by the bank were payments made to Biden-owned shelf companies the Banks reported as money laundering,
So who was invovled in bribery and corruption on National Government level. It included he whole leadeship of the DmocraticPaty starting off with the Biden crime family and Schumer, Pelosi and Schiff, With the top rotten to the core - the bureaucrats serving under them got worse and worse as well, So how did the system operates? FTX was one example and the other related to George Soros and Gates as well. So who in fact Govened the USA while Biden was a nominal and thoughtless President, The answer was loud and clear - The Health and Environmental Secretaries reported to Bill Gates on policy implementation and George Soros on Migrant and law and order policies, The lefist media was under strict control even when Biden's public appearances showed he was non mentus mentus during public appearances and the Democrat leadership tried to keep it secret. The result a totally weak leadership and the main sorurces of corruption costing the USA trilllions due to maladminsuitration as well as bribery and corruption on all levels of Government.
Foreign trade was where corruption became a headache as well, There was no boudaries in trade that was not effected by political corruption - wih a major component being the Ukraine War. It was so corrupt that .Trump wante that war ended, Take the following as an example, Two Departments invovled were the Defense Department and Homelands Seciruty Departments where Auditors found that there were no proof provided as toe expendiure incurred involving at least $700 billion and where money spent invovled major corrupttion.
Now back the foreign trade issue that is linked to Trump's policies, Under he Biden administration there were no control over trade between countries and the main beneficiaries were countries like China and the EU countries, I mentioned the example of timber importing from Canada because of Bill Gaes envorpnmental policies and the case with Mexico there were no cotrol over what entered the USA as a redult of Soros's open border policy and was paid for in US dollars, It also involved the drug trade in fentalyn operated by China that killed more than 100 000 Americans every year, China went further and opened a fentaliyn manufacturing plant in Canada that was recently discovered and close down on Trump's insistance.
In a country in fiancial chaos and where borrowed money was pushing up borrowing of money reaching $35,5 trillion and was if trends were allowed to continue the Federal Debt was increasing by $10 trillion in four years it ould have resulte in reaching the level of $52 trillion by 2030, That means that the debt would be double of the GDP of the country and at this stage the main budget item was debt and interest repayments iro of loans, China was the source of lsubstantial oan money and they had total control over the Biden Government and that would have intensified under Haris and Walz - who both had corrupt liks to China as well.
The only answer was to get signed trade agrements with countries that benefitted from lack of trade policies under both Obama and Biden. Trump new that to get trade valid trade agrements needed to be in place and would be forcng the countries benefitting from foreign trade to negotiate proper trade agreements with the USA to stop abuses, The only way to force the foreign Govenments and the EU to negotiate such deals was to threaen them wih tariffs to get them to the negotiation of trade agreements and he has itroduced threats of tariffs to stop the rot. He has to stop especially China from controling world trade. There is another problem and that is that with the help of the US Government - funded the gain-of-fuction virus reearch at the Wuhan laboratory that caused the Covid 19 pandemic worldwide and that also an issue that needed attention. By the way under Biden the USA Government funded the construction and operation of a new bio-lab in Odessa and aso controlled 26 other bio-labs in Ukraine.
Trump in 2020 launched an invetigaqqtion as to where the virus came from that caused the Covid 19 pandemic and appoined an investigation team of experts to deal with the issue - but one of the first actions of Biden was to stop the inmvestigation and he announced tha the CIA and FBI would invetgate the problem and announce the outcome of their investigations within 3 mnths, After 9 months there were no such reports made and the FBI and CIA annunced that their imvestigation was inconclusive so the matter died there. However, in evidence before the House Wray - who routinely lied to Congress - admitted that the virus did come from teh Wuhan lab. The world economies were badly effected by the virus and the resultant pandemic and the USA recovery was a farce with falsified statisstics used to hide the real facts as to what was happening as to the USA economy. As an example since 2021 94% of the Public Servansnever reorte for duty at their offices - but paid their salaries, In 2026-24 as part oteh falsified stats the Biden Admsinistration appointe an additional 1,2 milion new employees and paidtheir salrires despite being zero work being done by te probation appointees,
The USA Federal Government became a corrupt and malfunctioning element that undermined US Federal Governnce. When Trump took over he had the support of Congress epublicans with rare exceptions to clear up the rot that involved the USA Administration and implemeted measures that amounts to shock herapy. When it came to foreign trade he told foreign Governments he would intoduced tariffs unless they enter into trade agrements and those tariffs he announced would be implemented unless proper trade agreements were negotiated. He now gave the counties notice that they have 90 days to worldwide to enter into such trade fair agreements with the USA benefitting both parties, So at this stage the announced tariffs are being suspended implemetaion of the tariffs for 90 days to allow for finalization of such agreements,
That leaves the Chinese Government with a problem - either negotiate a proper trade deal and in their cae the tariffs was not suspended, The reason goes back to breaches of normal protocol by China such as to the Covid 19 issue mentioned earlier. It would also stop the rot of major US comanies exporting jobs to Chia and otter low wage workers to ncrease their profits He wants them to return their manfacturing to the USA.and those companies are the worst stock exchnage sufferers at present,
All the above steps to restore proper Governent to the USA has put the Democrat politicians under pressure and instead of helping to resore proper Governance in the USA they decided to encourage terrorism in the USA. The leftist media went into panic mode and what they came up is BS,gsalore. There si no real crisis in teh USA and only fools will believe otherwise.
The roblem is that a recovery in the stock market - after panic intially based on media BS - is on the rise already bar for the guilty companies that ripped the USA off by exporting US jobs to China is undr serious decline ins tock value a a result. .
By the way the knowledge of US trade issues is known by virtuqlly anybody not brainwashed into idiocy by the leftist media and the purchase of the shares by Greene is not based on internal info and not public knowledge. A statement as to the future of AI development to use in Public Administration to replace the shit left by Biden was announced by Trump on his second day in office when a deal with the companies investing $500 billion in the project and the USA Government was to invest a further $500 billion to develop programs that would mean effective public service administration. The announcement was on TV and was public knowlede from ehw ord go. Greene did not buy he shares before that public announcement was made - so when the share prices went diwn she bought the shares like any thinking people would do. No crooking iro of shares like happened under Biden with Deocrat politicians like Pelosi, Schumer and Schiff buying shares before the Biden puppet announced major Government proejcts.

Republican firebrand and Trump acolyte Marjorie Taylor Greene scooped up a number of plummeting stocks following the market chaos caused by the president’s global tariffs.
The Georgia congresswoman, an avid supporter of the Trump administration's trade policies, not only bought stocks last week, but also took on some of the biggest losers when markets tumbled over President Trump’s tariff war.
On Wednesday morning, the president posted on his social media site truth Social: “NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!”
Greene, it appears, listened to the advice.
The congresswoman bought stock in big brands like Lululemon, Dell Computer, Amazon, and the parent of Restoration Hardware after they dropped by around 40 percent on average late last week.
Data from a required three-page financial holdings document, seen by The Associated Press, doesn't disclose exactly how much she paid for the stocks, only ranges and dates. As of Wednesday’s market close, some of her investments were already beginning to pay off.
RH, formerly called Restoration Hardware, jumped more than a third since Friday's close when she bought it after a collapse in price that even shook the head of the furniture retailer, CEO Gary Friedman, who responded “oh s---t” during a company call when the tariffs were announced.
Dell has jumped 9 percent since Greene bought the stock last week after it had lost more than half its value.
Lawmakers from both major parties have previously proposed bills banning members from stock trading because of the apparent conflict of interest in owning shares of companies they can heavily influence with positions they can take in office.
Asked whether she made the stock purchases herself and about possible conflicts of interest, Greene said in a statement to AP: “I have signed a fiduciary agreement to allow my financial advisor to control my investments. All of my investments are reported with full transparency.”
Greene is one of the MAGA faithfuls that have been outspoken in her support of Trump’s tariffs. “Tariffs are a powerful proven source of leverage to protect our national interests,” she posted on X previously, adding, “We will win this trade war.”
Trump’s sudden and surprising pause to the tariff’s announced on Wednesday has led some Democrats to question whether market manipulation or insider trading has occurred.
