I remember Jerome Powell being asked is he worried he'd get fired and his response is "He can't fire me."

This guy doesnt realize fascists dont give a fuck about what they are "allowed" to do. Trump and his cronies have been doing so much illegal shit including illegal firings!

This is not business as usual and Powell's ass can easily be kicked to the curb with this Trump administration - illegal or not.

The judges are learning they lack the enforcement power of their rulings since those left in the government are loyal to Trump and his crusade.

We are learning our government system only works when everyone is a good faith actor.

You say 'everyone' needs to operate in good faith, buts it's actually closer to '51% needs to operate in a way that would avoid the entire system collapsing' but that just doesn't seem accurate because of the enormous number of malicious douchebags who didn't like that they weren't living in a dictatorship, and instead of moving to one decided it was a great idea to destroy a minimally functional democratic republic.

The Orange Turd is as bad faith as possible just like the people that voted for him MAGAts.

See, folks, the gold in fort Knox wasn't there, just like I said.

Now, who wants to see some "classified" info on the moon landing hoax?

This is really awful, for several reasons, but I have to say that I really don't like Jerome Powell.
