    Great news, Trump has threatened to send in the US military against Tehran to protect protestors.

    I look forward to their deployment in Minneapolis for a scrimmage against ICE.

    LOL. Yeah. Trump's Truth social post isn't a law that banks have to follow and Trump dismantled the department (CFPB) that would have been able to implement his Truth social post.

  10. So, when is he going to unilaterally lower interest rates on existing US bonds?

  11. Wasnot he going to appoint this month a new Fed man, a believer in low rates?

    Kinda. The announcement of the DoJ investigation into Jerome Powell was supposed to set the groundwork for Trump to fire Powell, similar to what he did with Lisa Cook. However, that severely backfired to the point that Trump had to come out and say he had no role in that investigation (liar).

    Another consideration is that Powell's term ends in May. So if Trump were just patient, he'll be able to pick the next Fed Chairman and that person would be "safe" from Trump's successor.

    Perhaps the rest of the world is simply tired of this ********ing bullshit? Just a thought.

    I saw someone argue this is terrible because China is much more of an authoritarian state than the U.S. currently is.
    Yeah that would be pretty self-evident, even with its current slide into fascism, you can't exactly equate the U.S. to China yet, only Mango put the bar so low ("won't threaten to annex our territories") that China starts to look pretty appealing by comparison.

    He can stay on another year (?) past the expiration date of being chair. I presume that this charade is an attempt to pressure him to bow out in May with the investigation magically disappearing if he were to do so.

    He can stay on the board another year, yes. Not as chairman though.

    That's what you mean, right?

    Seems pretty straight forward - He's pardoning her for doing things that he does. Because he does them, he doesn't believe they are illegal. Therefore, she deserves a pardon because in his mind she didn't do anything wrong.

    The reaction to the Canada thing is kind of hilarious. Not just from MAGA but also from more normie right-wingers. The Orange idiot repeatedly threatened to annex Canada, WTF did you think was going to happen?

    I suppose the realisation that is dawning on me is that they had expected the countries who have repeatedly been spat in the face to just say, "thank you sir, can I have some more please?".

    Well quite obviously Denmark should just give Greenland to America to appease Trump.

    If history has taught us anything, it is that handing territories to deranged expansionist dictators is the only foolproof recipe to a lasting peace.
