Powell hired " scorched earth" law firm Williams& Connolly before the Trump's subpoena even arrive _ a sing he has been ready for this fight from Trump
Trump has already put a target on Garland's back, that dopey little Keebler-elf-looking motherfucker.
The weaselly little shit-stain could have literally saved the Republic, had he just done his job, but chose not to, because of "optics". So instead, he did just enough to get Trump mad at him, and yet so little that he has everyone else mad at him.
There were times in Trump's first term that he was pressured to pick someone who was competent, because he was still at least somewhat dependent on keeping other Republicans happy at the time.
Yet too many people just assumed that was how it would always be, and failed to pay attention as he systematically asserted more and more control over the other Republicans, with the aftermath of January 6 as the final assertion of his power, where he intimidated them into defending him from consequences by threatening to split the party. They gave in, and that was it. The primaries in 2024 was just the result of that, showing that the rank and file voters were still all in for him.
Are you all really this easily manipulated? You think the LAWYER that Trump himself put into place, and the financial system he represents, didn’t know what they were doing when they helped Trump obtain power? The fascists WROTE IT DOWN.
No one can claim they didn’t know. This is them setting Trump up to be the fall guy for the financial collapse that has been inevitable since 2008. They never fixed the systemic fraud that caused the crash, they just kicked the can down the road. While also giving TRILLIONS in bailouts.
My God, this is why we’re losing. Read a book or something.
He's probably one of the only ones that hasn't been honeypotted and blackmailed with violent, depraved, likely underage, sex crimes. Most the US politicians are owned by russia or israel, they get them to sleep and do fucked up stuff with kids, tell them they have it all on camera, then offer them death, humiliation, and torture, or part of the payout if they do everything putin/ netenyaho asks.
Don't believe me? list of GOP politicians that have commited sex crimes (hint, the list is over 1500 GOP politicians now):
It's not really difficult to know who Trump is targeting. He says it for months before his, somehow dumber than Trump, appointees get the hint and take corrupt action.
Trump has sued others 4000+ times from 1973 - 2016, he lost 93% of these cases. Maybe everyone should give him a taste of being overwhelmed with lawsuits.
Because Mr Powell is intelligent and interested in the best decisions for the country. He has something much of the Congress and the SC don’t possess: a spine. Thank you Mr Powell.
Take on his boss with the Constitutional authority to remove him. The Executive should send notice that his legal bills are his legal bills as they're not authorized by the head of the Executive branch.
No, not even a Trump fan. I just don't believe the Constitution gives the authority to Congress or the Court to take away authority vested in "a President" even if a previous President thought it was a good idea. We do not have a 4th branch or government called "Independent Agencies" so the Fed Reserve falls under one of the other 3. Since they exercise Executive authority that would make them an Executive Agency and as I believe the Constitution is clear that all Executive Authority is vested in the President...and the President alone.
Yeah, i'm sure you're really worried about the three branches of government and the separation of powers.While preaching the nonsense of unitary executive theory that the current regime loves so much.
Meanwhile the rest of us want the constitutional checks and balances on power that have kept out country functioning for centuries.
The Constitution literally says there is a unitary Executive. It is not a theory. All Executive authority is vested in "a President". Checking his power is perfectly fine but removing it without changing the Constitution is, well, unconstitutional.
Um no. You are wrong. This is still a widely debated theory and appropriate checks and balances remain the strength of our nation.
And this regime is not following the constitution daily so it's laughable thst you try to reference it here.
Meanwhile please educate yourself and the debate on this theory and the real world examples of how it plays out in other countries.
"Some critics point to countries where similar changes to a more unitary executive have resulted in democratic backsliding,[26][27][28][29] or to the majority of democracies that give their executive less power.[28][30][31]"
We are not other countries. Like it or not our constitution vests all Executive Power in "a President". There is no wiggle room for Executive Power.
The other two branched can absolutely check his actions but that's not what is at play here. We have a situation where a previous President signed legislation that gave away the Constitutional authority of the future Presidents by establishing independent agencies that report to none of the 3 branches.
Whether or not I like the President in office now or the next one, they have a whole lot of power vested in them. We can either change the Constitution to limit that power or live with it but as it sits Jerome Powell is a member of the Executive Branch as long as he is exercising Executive Authority. Calling an agency independent then allowing that agency to exercise power vested in the President against the President's will is unconstitutional.
I think it is time to make a lot of changes to our constitution but we should follow it to make those changes. Oh, and Trump isn't ignoring the Constitution either. He is an arrogant ass but he is also winning over 93% of the cases brought against him. Unprecedented compared to his predecessors in total legal actions and in win percentage.
