John Stone Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 ............I believe this type of indictment might have an effect on my money. The Fed's independence is essential in settling monetary policy. Nobody can see where this is going but one thing is for sure, it sets a precedent that will be used by future political hacks Can Main Street afford these type of short term decisions, long term? We'll find out! Quote

Of course, the truth is that Trump was re_tried in the court of (National) public opinion - they elected him President? Elections have consequences? How's that? 1 Quote
herbie Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 (edited) 16 hours ago, West said: The socialist takeover of institutions is coming to a close. Lefties are flailing now. Fun to watch Is it your opinion as a wrong winger that after pleading that he was a victim of politicized persecution that going out of your way to blatantly pollticize the justice system to serve your own ends is ethical? It would be expected by a douchebag businessman that sues any perceived opponent, but not a POTUS.! Your desperation to defend the oaf's every action is clearly showing when you think anyone who can see what's happening or has the slightest sense of ethics is a leftist.

Leftists: "Trump put the wrong sq footage on a loan application, which he paid off, and the bank was 100% satisfied and pressed no charges: 34 FELONIES!!!!! YAY!!!!!!" Leftists: "Powell seems to have lied to congress about the scope and cost of work to be done at the Fed Reserve Bank, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars... So what?" Remember how irate leftists got when Trump renovated the WH, and added a ballroom? "OMG IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! HITLER ALSO BUILT A BALLROOM!" 🤣 You guys are f'ing children, and your constant tantrums are beyond sickening. You're comparing apples and oranges here. Powell gets no personal benefit from the Fed building. And subpoena over a project assessment statement seems pretty ridiculous. I have never heard of that. And nobody significant thinks that the Whitehouse renovation is illegal. I think calling Democrats 'leftists' is a tell here, as you're using the language of the partisan...

robosmith Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 4 hours ago, WestCanMan said: Do any leftards here understand what Powell might actually be indicted for? No, you do not, so stfu. You're right. Powell was not in charge of the BUILDING PROJECT much less considered an expert on cost estimates. Unlike a career RE developer with tons of construction management experience like Trump. LMAO Quote

It's not about that. There was a press release last July that outlined: (1) when Powell lied to Congress; (2) exactly what he said that wasn’t true; (3) which documents proved the Fed Chair lied under oath; and (4) which specific laws he allegedly broke, right down to the statute number (perjury and making false statements to federal officials).

WestCanMan Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 9 minutes ago, Michael Hardner said: You're comparing apples and oranges here. Powell gets no personal benefit from the Fed building. Good point, but he is still accused of lying about it, which is what Trump was indicted for. Quote And subpoena over a project assessment statement seems pretty ridiculous. I have never heard of that. It depends on whether or not that was ever really the plan. If it was a fake plan drawn up to get congressional approval then it's actually a pretty serious fraud. Quote And nobody significant thinks that the Whitehouse renovation is illegal. The crying and bellyaching over that WH reno is through the roof, and it's for far less money. I'm not joking about the Hitler comp either. It's not uncommon for lefties to compare Trump to Hitler because "Hitler also built a ballroom." Quote I think calling Democrats 'leftists' is a tell here, as you're using the language of the partisan... I'm not big on semantics. As long as a word/term isn't being used erroneously, like the way robo mixes up cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias, and it is universally understood by everyone who hears/reads it, let's be honest: it's perfectly fitting. Also, the word 'leftists' in this context is far more appropriate than 'Democrats', because Democrats specifically refers to elected officials and their paid/volunteer workers. Democrats voters aren't really "democrats", they're a mix of Dem supporters and registered Dems. And are Canadian leftists really 'democrats' at all? It's really stretching it to use the word "Democrats" to include politically challenged Canadians, but I include them when I'm talking about Dem cultists. So, when I use the word leftists, that includes: elected Demi officials candidates paid & volunteer employees registered voters diehards who aren't registered the MSM in both of our countries members of the LPoC LPoC supporters NDP & their flock Greens & their flock Would you call all of the above "Democrats"? No, but 99% of the time those people are all in lock-step. Eg, if Trudeau or Clinton have an opinion, it is considered established fact by all of them, regardless how much information they've ever seen or had access to. So when I say leftist, I mean that whole gaggle of mor0ns on that list. Have eyeball, ex-flyer, hodad, herbie, etc ever had an opinion that wasn't the mirror image of what CBC/CNN/Hitler/Trudeau/Carney/Kamala/Biden/you ever said? The only thing that springs to mind for me is ex-flyer's surprising rejection of DEI dogma.

I would disagree with your characterization. The facts are the Obama and Biden administration stacked institutions with partisans who weaponized said institutions in a discriminatory fashion. In order to preserve some semblance of decency it is now necessary to hold people accountable for destruction of organizations and people's lives over their political leanings and race Quote

herbie Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 (edited) Look: The police do not broadcast WHO they are investigating Politicians do not tell them WHO to inbvestigate and blab about it before an investigation beforehand. Especially the damn President! It's always been the norm to express a concern and deliver any evidence to the cops and THEY determine if it warrants investigation.

Economic theory is miles over your head. May as well be quantum physics. But what anyone should know is that the Fed system was created by Congress specifically as an independent agency to avoid political manipulation of our monetary policy. It is not a political entity. It is independent for very good reason, and yes, Trump's attempts to coerce and strongarm that agency is very much an erosion of checks and balances. It's an unethical encroachment on congressional authority and an attempt to pervert another politically independent body and functionally consolidate that authority in the executive. And this particular executive is a narcissistic sociopath bent on serving his own interests rather than those of the people. It would be an unmitigated disaster. 1 Quote

Honestly i feel this is over the line even for trump, and that republicans should push back. But - i absolutely agree with you that it's hard to work up a sense of indignation about it considering the lefties were all over this exact same thing just a year and change ago. I would say the difference is the banker here is not a political figure and had nothing to do with any of that. If this was a democrat they were going after i'd tend to be a hell of a lot less sympathetic. Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
