The judge in the Paul Pelosi case stepped down the night before the trial. The replacement? A former Napa County deputy district attorney in Monique Langhorn. Yes, she's a registered Democrat too.

Langhorn works in the Napa County Civil Court as a civil court judge. She has never, not once and not for a single instance, presided over a criminal trial.

And who donated to Langhorn's campaign? The current District Attorney, Allison Haley, whom decided NOT to charge Paul Pelosi with a felony, but instead a misdemeanor. And basically enacted a giant shroud around everything.

So no, your insults don't deter me one bit. This thread is about China but also about potential war and also Nancy Pelosi and everything related to her that might make her want to change the current media narrative about her and her family and the financial scandals around them. Do you think Nancy Pelosi wants to voluntarily go somewhere with the risk of her plane being shot down? Or the country being invaded while she's there?

Let's have some real talk here. The GOP is projected to take a majority in the House Of Representatives in the coming Mid Terms. While the Senate looks to be hotly contested, no one is projecting the Democratic Party to hold onto the HOR. No one. Even Nate Silver and 538 is calling the House a lost cause. So once the Republicans take the House, that means Pelosi gets the boot from the Speaker position. That also means Biden will likely be impeached and investigations and hearings will start up. Clearly Twitter, Facebook and Google are on tap, but also Pelosi and her entire family as well.

When Kevin McCarthy ends up as the new Speaker Of The House, then Pelosi will have nowhere left to hide. Even Joe Rogan, with his massive platform, is calling out the insider trading. But it's not just that alone is it? It's clearly happening against the backdrop of massive inflation. People are worried about buying groceries for their children and making rent and filling up their gas tanks to get to work. You think many aren't going to be outraged at Nancy Pelosi, and her husband, flaunting their millions and showing the law doesn't apply to them?

All of this is complete and utter bull****. If Nancy Pelosi was a Republican, it's still bull****. If Nancy Pelosi is a Democrat, which she is, it doesn't change one bit, it remains a giant load of bull****.

How many people here have children? When Pelosi and Biden and the rest of them keep demanding to print more money, whose money do you think they are spending? They are spending your children's money and future away. Your grand children's money and future away. And you want to write that all off as a "Fox News talking point"?

Seriously?

Cool story bro. Wake me when Fox News and Joe Rogan report that Heir Trump and your republican heroes are welcoming Victor Orban and his Nazi rhetoric with open arms as a speaker in Texas and their CPAC convention.

Hungarian leader’s aide who quit over ‘race mixing’ remarks said his words have a chilling potential

Flora Garamvolgyi and Shaun Walker in Budapest
Sat 30 Jul 2022 13.50 EDT
A longstanding adviser to Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán who resigned last week has warned him that his far-right rhetoric could have tragic consequences.

The Hungarian leader sparked a backlash at home and abroad with a recent speech in which he spoke out against “race mixing”. Soon after, Zsuzsa Hegedüs, a sociologist who has known Orbán for 20 years, handed in her resignation, criticising the prime minister for what she called a “pure Nazi” speech.


Inflation - worldwide right now. Maybe in between your Joe Rogan podcast man-crush you can brush up on your supply side economics to gain an understanding of how this has come about.

Insider Trading - while you and Fox News focus on Pelosi - it appears that Rome is burning......67 members of Congress have violated a law designed to prevent insider trading and stop conflicts-of-interest https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stock-act-violations-senate-house-trading-2021-9. Maybe you should try to pay more attention son and get out there with more diversity of where you get your news sources.

GOP Take-Over of the House - Yawn. You must be new to Politics. Mid-Terms always favor the part out of power. Dems will lose the House and based on history - should also lose the Senate if not for the bumbling within the GOP picking candidates like Hershel Walker and Dr. Oz.

Printing Money - maybe you can be more specific. In case your memory fails you - The Rescue plan was so 2021 and a result of coming out of a global emergency related to COVID. The Government has been in the business of printing money regardless of party. Recession has been predicted by economists for some time during the previous Presidency and a carry-over from COVID.

Kids - luckily I have kids who will carry on my legacy. It sounds like you don't - but perhaps there's still hope that your bloodline and legacy does not with you.

Impeachment - double yawn. The GOP will probably be on the clock starting next January. If they are somehow successful in removing Biden (perhaps you can explain what he will be impeached for) ......then Harris will become the first woman POTUS. Given the misogynistic views you have shown on this board - I can only assume you're negative views about this.

China - Pelosi has left Taiwan - has the war started yet?

Please don't get Titi mad.

Titi has already said how thankful he is for Trump lowering gas prices. How Desantis would be a great foreign diplomat.
Titi has also admitted that we are a country that should proclaim "Don't tread on me!" when it comes to gun control but when it comes to a women's abortion rights the government should absolutely tread.

This guy is hilarious. Tunes into Newsmax, Fox, Info wars, Tucker and Rogan and thinks that is the reality. As we saw in Kansas, Republicans are waking up to what these right wing dinosaurs, like Titi, are trying to do with the country. Which is bring it back to the 50's. Including no rights for most except the white male.

Pelosi two misdemeanors. Blew a barely illegal amount breatholizer and you'd think Fox got him for eating children.
My goodness the hype is amazing.

INsider trading. I manage accounts for some public officials, they have to report via oversight their accounts. Could they tell me stuff and I buy it? Yes. Will it get reported. Absolutely along with all trades.
These are public record thus when investigated, I damn well better have my dates right, and justifications to purchase. I do.
Most cases of public officials "front running" on news makes headlines but then gets sorted via the blind trust and there was not collusion. Does that mean all are innocent? Of course not.

Speaker Pelosi spoke the press about the anxious moments on her trip to Taiwan. Like it was a
river rafting vacation in Colorado. Not a trip that could spark a nuclear war.

Again, an 80 something politician (had her fun) thought it was a good idea to play a game of "poke the bear" at absolutely the worst time this century. Look at the Chinese govt's reaction. Is the world a safer or more dangerous place now?

This trip will mark a sea-change in US/China relations, while this country is in the process of tearing itself apart. Time for a younger generation to lead the Democratic party.

China - Pelosi has left Taiwan - has the war started yet?




If you want to start a whole bunch of other topics about politics in other threads, that's up to you. I'm going to talk about Nancy Pelosi and why this Taiwan trip was a bunch of bull**** designed to change the media coverage she was getting that was going to piss off tons of working class people struggling to get by and watch her rub their noses in her grift and wealth.


CNN's Wolf Blitzer interviewed Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi about why she has not accepted President Trump's roughly $1.8 trillion stimulus offer. The above video shows her bull**** answer. Blitzer even goes so far as to point out that, given the time and place, with COVID19 and lock downs, that lots of Americans were financially hurting.

CNN's Manu Raju also asked her about the COVID19 relief package that Pelosi slow walked for clearly partisan reasons.

You wanted "diversity of news sources"? That's CNN. Their slant is clearly to the left and they had no choice but to call Pelosi on her bull****.

How the **** do you think the average working class person is going to react when Pelosi rubs her $25,000 refrigerators and $13 tubs of ice cream while her husband engages in open insider trading and both of them pretend like the law doesn't apply to them.

You can attack me all you want. All this bull**** that Pelosi brought onto herself will come home to roost when the GOP retakes the House of Representatives. They are clearly going to have lots of public hearings, drag Pelosi and her husband and her son through the public wringer and then try to put her in prison.

This isn't complicated. Although you want to try to divert to topic away from Pelosi, China and the reasons why she'd want to go risk all of America's national security and risk World War III so the mainstream media will talk about something else besides her drunk husband ramming into people with his Porsche.

Biden, the sitting President and the current Commander In Chief said don't go.

The US military advised her not to go because it would risk potential war and military conflict.

Pelosi went anyway. It's NOT the job of the Speaker of the House to engage in foreign policy.

Why don't you make even a cursory attempt to discuss the actual topic within the thread instead of just attacking myself because you just don't like my viewpoints?

Inflation and the fear of what will happen to the American economy is the NUMBER ONE issue for all polled voters in the coming Mid Terms. People are worried about how to feed their kids. The demographics at UK tends to skew a little bit older and there are more retired people here like myself and Briggs and others, but lots of folks are really hurting out there. They have no desire to see more of Nancy Pelosi's grifter bull****. They certainly don't want to risk World War because Nancy Pelosi wants the mainstream media to talk about something else besides her greed and hypocrisy and corruption while rubbing her wealth in the faces of every day people.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband cashed in on Big Tech just as Congress was set to pounce
July 8, 2021 at 5:26 AM PDT

The week before the House Judiciary Committee voted on reigning in big tech, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband exercised a bullish bet on Google-parent Alphabet, in a timely transaction that netted him $5.3 million.The antitrust bill was advanced as a push by the government to curb the “unregulated power” of big tech firms Google, Amazon, Apple and Facebook. It was the final part of a six-part package called “Ending Platform Monopolies Act” aimed at restricting how big tech companies offer their products to ensure they don’t use their size to dominate the market.

However, despite its good intentions, the market reaction to the judiciary panel approving the legislation was muted—shares in big tech companies in fact rose after investors found the House proposal to be no real threat. Paul Pelosi, who bought 4,000 shares of Alphabet on June 18 (as revealed in a financial disclosure signed by Nancy Pelosi and filed on July 2), made an initial $4.8 million gain from Alphabet’s rising share price, and has since seen his gain grow to $5.3 million.

Paul bought the stock by exercising a call option, which allows investors to speculate on stocks they do not own by entering into a contract that allows them to buy a stock at a later date at a promised price. The upshot: a call option is a good tool for an investor who believes the stock price will go up in the future. In Pelosi’s case, the call options he’d previously bought for Alphabet (which were due to expire the day of his purchase) allowed him to buy it at $1,200 a share while the shares closed that day just over $2,500, a difference that accounted for his profit.

Paul Pelosi also reported buying call options for Amazon, Apple and NVIDIA, but he did not report exercising them.

Nancy Pelosi’s spokesperson said “The speaker has no involvement or prior knowledge of these transactions,” in an emailed statement on Wednesday, adding that Speaker Pelosi doesn’t own any stock.
Capitol gains....

But while it is hard to prosecute politicians over such stock sales, Twitter is less forgiving. ‘Nancy Pelosi Insider Trading’ began to trend on the social media service and people have called for her removal from office.




Nalod, so you are telling me Nancy Pelosi's husband, who is magically somehow beating the market again and again like he could read the future at a historic level rate, speeds like a drunk ******* in his Porsche, actually hits other people. Then it gets bounced to a pair of misdemeanors after the leftist friendly DA basically covers up as much as possible, then gets the judge changed, and you just pretend like nothing happened?

Did you ever stop to think that there are people here who post at UK who have been impacted by the stupidity and reckless criminal behavior of drunk drivers? Did you even bother to stop, pause and give a single **** about that before you rationalized the bull**** of a drunk driver?

Here's an easy solution - More information.

The more information that comes out about the insider trading and the kind of media firestorm it creates around Nancy Pelosi, the more it explains her ill conceived and dangerous trip to Taiwan that risked the lives of people all around the world.

RISKED YOUR LIFE. RISKED THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN. RISKED THE LIVES OF EVERYONE HERE. RISKED THE LIVES OF ALL AMERICANS.

Paul Pelosi is too much of a stuck up arrogant drunk ******* to call an Uber. So the rest of us here have to think about total nuclear holocaust because his psychotic wife needs to change the story in the mainstream media.

You talk about "justifications", go on, in front of everyone here, try to justify this insane bull**** that Nancy Pelosi is pulling here.

I think you misunderstand. I really don't see this as a Republican/ Democrat issue. I see it as "Are my family and I going to be affected or not?"

So are you Chinese?
Do you think her visit, disrespects, insults or puts down China or the Chinese?
As a guy that has lived in a FREE country ALL of his life, let me tell you that we do not let any government tell us where and where we cannot visit. Nor do we care if a free action causes a bully to lose their ****. As mentioned, China would not be that stupid to start a war with the biggest, best most powerful country in the world ove a head of state visit. Still waiting for Russia to begin "Severe consequences" if we help Ukraine. Some things are worth dying for. Kicking China's ass because they started a war due to a visit to Taiwan would be a lesson to all those that decide to mess with us over such pettiness.

But once again, you either have your feeling hurt because "you spent 20 years there" or just repeating right wing jargon.

No, I'm American from New York. I hope any Chinese person would choose a better franchise to follow if they had free choice rather than submitting themselves to the annual torture of following the Knicks. We've actually known each other almost the whole time- at least since the Marbury trade when I met you Irv Briggs IsaSoulstar and bobhait over on the nyk fanpage. (I still think about Eddy eating a hamburger and " I own a house, man")

In 1999 I interned at a luncheon where pre famous John Bolton debated a former US ambassador to China about recognizing Taiwan. It was immediately after Taiwan electing their first DPP president. Bolton said something like, "A functioning democracy is the most legitimate source of power" (true). The ambassador said something like it's already de facto independent so what is the cost benefit analysis of a change in their status? Cost: Possible war with China, people die. Benefits: ???- Taiwan gets a seat at the UN just like Luxembourg.

My question- is that worth dying for? You think US soldiers should die for a seat at the UN? Or the US should manufacture a crisis (WMD in Iraq, ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia, cultural genocide in China) so we can "stand up" to tyranny? Do you think any of those issues are more important than the opioid crisis? You don't know anyone who's overdosed the past 20 years? Opioids have killed far more Americans than China, Russia, or Iraq and are right there threatening your kids and grandkids every day.

In terms of "kicking ass"- I mean, come on- Americans are the biggest beneficiaries of all the cheap stuff they get to buy from China for dollars conjured up by the fed.

I think you overestimate the amount that Nancy cares about public perception. She's a Democrat from San Francisco- her seat is safe. I'm guessing this is more about ensuring no one in her party questions the upcoming Menendez/Graham Bill. She's probably already gotten all her options for defense contractors sorted.

Everyone made money on Those giant Tech stocks. I own all three in my portfolios.
But, if Paul Pelosi traded on inside info specifically outside a blind trust then he’ll fry. If in a blind trust his advisor will have to defend the moves. If not, and if guiilty, let him fry.

Im got drawn in to this argument so shame on me. Yeah, you want to hate on biden thats easy. Things are easy for me, I voted biden cuz trump is awful. Simple.

Love the Hungarian Prime with is ultra views addressing GOP fund raising. So many gray areas. I have argued the politics of smaller govt because I want more private sector growth for healthy economy. But if the GOP is carrying that flag next to Nazi’s, or promoting a christian nation, or denying womens rights, or expounding this is a white european based society, well then the gray fades to black and white clarity. Im leaning away from the Nazi’s, the misogynistic, or the religious zealots who can’t tolerate.

Simple. Keep eating the garbage to justify the end justify the means to get there.

Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, buys 5 million dollars in shares of Nvidia. When did this happen?

Right before Congress moved to pass tens of billions of dollars in corporate welfare subsidies for American semiconductor production.

Wow, I bet that was a coincidence.

Nancy ­Pelosi and Paul Pelosi's net worth is estimated to be close to 140 million dollars. Nancy Pelosi's salary as Speaker Of The House is $210,000. They are so wealthy that they even own a vineyard in Napa Valley.

Even MSNBC, which leans very hard left, is calling her out on this complete and total bull****.

Dude, if you want to start a new thread about Hungary or the GOP or Nazi's, go ahead. But your cheap deflection here, or the lame attempt, to steer away the conversation about Nancy Pelosi, her open grift, and why she would risk getting shot down by the CCP to change the media narrative away from her over the top mother****ing greed is just weak sauce.

God forbid I keep presenting more and more information as your gutless excuses go nowhere.

What Nancy Pelosi is doing and has done for decades with insider trading is, yes let me say it again, still complete and utter bull****.

Wow, I bet that was a coincidence.

Nancy ­Pelosi and Paul Pelosi's net worth is estimated to be close to 140 million dollars. Nancy Pelosi's salary as Speaker Of The House is $210,000. They are so wealthy that they even own a vineyard in Napa Valley.

Even MSNBC, which leans very hard left, is calling her out on this complete and total bull****.

Dude, if you want to start a new thread about Hungary or the GOP or Nazi's, go ahead. But your cheap deflection here, or the lame attempt, to steer away the conversation about Nancy Pelosi, her open grift, and why she would risk getting shot down by the CCP to change the media narrative away from her over the top mother****ing greed is just weak sauce.

God forbid I keep presenting more and more information as your gutless excuses go nowhere.

What Nancy Pelosi is doing and has done for decades with insider trading is, yes let me say it again, still complete and utter bull****.

This is despicable. America should be leading the world in the fight againt corruption, it cannot afford having even the perception of allowing such a problem to fester right in the middle of its senior leadership. I hope these allegations are seriously investigated. Or soon enough the public will clamor for America's own version of Navalny.

And if Biden is a man of integrity, he should have someone take a hard honest look at the life his son is leading.

Two geniuses. Do either of you know anything about the stock market?
Let me see if you can tell me what happened in 2020? When the Pelosi's made all these high return investments that NO ONE could have predicted.
Moves that only someone with secret insider info could have made.
Pelosi and her husband are VERY wealthy. So?
He is a very active trader. (He is a venture capitalist) So?
Wealthy people don't keep their money in a sack. They invest it in the stock market.
Pelosi owning stock was not illegal? Not yet. Not reporting trades is. She reported all.
I worked on Wall Street for 20 years.
Saying ANYONE needed to have inside information to have bought stock after the COVID crash and have profited is like saying you needed contact with pharmaceutical CEOs to figure out if injecting Clorox would have been good to treat COVID.
Wow, they bought FANG stocks after the COVID crash!! They own AAPL,.MSFT, TSLA. Lock em up!
Guess the millions of people who did the same had insider info.
But wait, he also bought stock after the recent crash as well. Unheard of!
What did he know? I mean it's not like many stocks had lost almost 60% of their value.
Including Nvidia. Must have been in on a secret congressional NVDA meeting.
Guess the trading strategy of nearly EVERY active trader is illegal.
This buy low when markets crash sell high when they recover should be against the law.

This just shows how stupid the far right media chasers are. Can wait to whack off to anything the far right writes. Without looking into simple factors.
When is Pelosi going to jail?
Let's just stick to whacking off to how stupid her husband was for drinking and driving. At least that is true.

Careful or else TiTi might attach an even longer list of opinion piece videos that take up even more thread page space while no one here bothers to watch.

But, if Paul Pelosi traded on inside info specifically outside a blind trust then he’ll fry. If in a blind trust his advisor will have to defend the moves. If not, and if guiilty, let him fry.

Im got drawn in to this argument so shame on me. Yeah, you want to hate on biden thats easy. Things are easy for me, I voted biden cuz trump is awful. Simple.

Love the Hungarian Prime with is ultra views addressing GOP fund raising. So many gray areas. I have argued the politics of smaller govt because I want more private sector growth for healthy economy. But if the GOP is carrying that flag next to Nazi’s, or promoting a christian nation, or denying womens rights, or expounding this is a white european based society, well then the gray fades to black and white clarity. Im leaning away from the Nazi’s, the misogynistic, or the religious zealots who can’t tolerate.

Simple. Keep eating the garbage to justify the end justify the means to get there.

No thanks TT. Feel free to post about Knicks. Your level of information and interaction here is low level and not worth anyones times.

If you can’t keep yourself from these types of threads, I’ll help you out. It’s a waste of mine time at this point.

Last time from me. I’m tired of your garbage.

Then you are well aware of the extensive compliance infrastructure that Wall Street firms have in place against insider trading: Chinese Walls, trade monitoring and pre-approval, lists of restricted securities, outright bans on trading certain instruments, etc. Applying to employees, as well as to their families. A close family member making successful leveraged bets on single company-name securities where an employee may have access to inside info would trigger a major investigation both from the relevant firm and the regulatory authorities.

Is Capitol Hill subject to similar restrictions and supervision? Having them would make sense. I am only aware of the 45 days trade reporting requirement.

Not going to explain how stupid this post is. Can't wait to hear which action you, Titi and Alex Jones think triggers insider trading.
Or the list of actions you feel violated Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.

Btw, firms don't investigate insider trading, the SEC does. Also may want to read on recent proposal in Congress. One that was not in place when Pelosi invested.

You may want to stick to Frank is great threads.

No offense, but your response is as clueless and beside the point as it could possibly be. For someone who has spent 20 years on Wall Street, your response indicates that you have either forgotten everything or that your job there was getting lunch for traders from a nearby falafel shop.

Your Ignorance does not offend me. Just reminds me of how so many are. Your knowledge of what I accomplished is as accurate as your knowledge of what constitutes insider trading.

Falafel shop? That's what you come up with. Genius.

Can't you answer simple questions?
What actions trigger insider trading?

You just proved how much you know. Typical for guys that only regurgitate jargon heard on Fox or far right podcasts but have no thoughts of their own.

Ignorance is not a sin. Refusing to learn is. I may not know much, but looks like I know more than you, even though cannot claim having spent years on Wall Street. And, unlike you, I try to back up my claims with facts and explanations instead of just hurling unprovoked empty insults accusing people of stupidity.

A case in point, here is a claim made by you.

HofstraBBall wrote:Btw, firms don't investigate insider trading, the SEC does.

Yet in the below example, we see that firms actually do conduct insider trading investigations internally.

MICHAEL J. GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that JENNIFER WANG, 31, and her husband RUBIN CHEN, 34, of Englishtown, New Jersey, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to insider trading charges. The trading took place based on material nonpublic information that WANG obtained from her former employer, Morgan Stanley, regarding acquisitions of three publicly traded companies.
.....
WANG and CHEN resigned earlier this year from their respective employers following a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) inquiry and internal investigations by Morgan Stanley and ING .

https://www.lawfuel.com/blog/us-attorney-reports-former-morgan-stanley-financial-analyst-and-her-husband-plead-guilty-to-insider-trading/

For your reference, Morgan Stanley and ING are financial firms, i.e. the proverbial "Wall Street" in this case.

So, how did your traders like their falafels? Plain or extra spicy?

N.B. Your rant about Pelosi not violating this or that rule was also off the mark. If you were to read my prior post more carefully, you would have seen that I was well aware of the possibility that different rules may apply to members of Congress than to Wall Street employees. And I asked an honest question to clarify that point. You could have educated me, but instead you chose to hurl unprovoked empty insults.

OT: How about a war with China?
