This should surprise no one. I posted this on another site the day he spoke up:

No Fed for you!

Cohn and others (see: Ty Cobb, Esq.) keep claiming that they are only doing these jobs because “there need to be adults in the room.”

Unfortunately, this is no ordinary child:

It’ll lure you in, blast your hopes and ambitions, then spew vomit and feces over you, Gary, before you hand in your resignation (since Schiller’s not there anymore, you won’t get your pink slip via courier now…). Shoulda seen it coming.

Good. This coward deserves to be disappointed and humiliated. If you are going to stand up for what’s right, stand up all the way.

There’s a good chance that our next Fed Governor will be a good white christian supremacist or a neo-nazi.

Cohn is a jew and he’s been enabling a Nazi sympathizer in Trump - can we say “deplorable” yet?

Cohn’s words ring hollow - it is action that we need these days to stop Trump from turning us into Nazi Germany or Putin’s Russia.

Governance by grievance. Who could have predicted?

The GOP is all about grievance - has been for years.

I recall seeing Pat Buchanan on one of McLaughlin’s gabfests, talking about his decision to run for President. He described his constituency - “People who are tired of this, people who don’t like that, people who’ve had enough of seeing this other thing.” When he was finished, Mort Kondracke, IIRC, said, without missing a beat, “Oh, you mean The Haters.” Buchanan took on that wonderful freshly-tasered look, and had no response.

Cohn’s self reported almost resignation is a PR exercise that will grease the skids for his ascendance to the Fed chairmanship. Not that he isn’t a shoe in already.’ Liberals’ will now view him more favorably and the usual suspects on the right will hate him more for being Jewish and a Goldman Sachs man. The latter a burr under the saddle of Bernie ‘liberals’, but not much of one and now less since Cohen is going to be hated by the hard core of Trump’s fans.

The Fed is on the cusp of bringing the great 8 year bull market bubble in asset prices to an end when they start their “normalization”. That being the shrinkage of their balance sheet. Only 1 in 1000 have a clue what that means and only 1 in a million know that this is the foundation of the entire political economy. Even Yellen nor the Fed seem to know that.

Cohen knows and Cohen will reverse the upcoming balance sheet shrinkage when the market swoons, at it is destined to do as the liquidity spigot closes and the drain opens. The drain being the destruction of money that Fed balance sheet shrinkage entails.

I suppose I could be wrong but until proven wrong I maintain Cohen is a shoe in for the Fed chair and he will subsequently bring about new endless rounds of Quantitative Easing.

His name is Cohn, and the phrase is “shoo-in.”

Cohn didn’t resign because he really, really want’s that job at the Fed, but Bannon was right, by not resigning he lost his dignity and by his comments and body language he lost any chance for the job. President thinskinhead doesn’t take kindly to people disagreeing.

I was going by the thread title spelling and shoe in is an acceptable alternate spelling.

Trump doesn’t know much but he surely senses, if not knows, that endless liquidity is an existential necessity for the entire system.

Which is “Cohn.”

No, it is not.

"The conventional spelling of the noun meaning a sure winner is shoo-in, not shoe-in. The term uses the verb shoo, which means to urge something in a desired direction, usually by waving one’s arms. The idea behind the word is that the person being shooed—for example, into the winner’s circle, into a job, or into a field of award nominees—is such a lock that we can shoo him or her in without hesitation.

The term originated in the early 20th century. The earliest instances relate to horse racing, with the shoo-ins being horses that are destined to win through either dominance or race fixing. The earliest instance listed in the OED is from 1928, and we are unable to find any examples from earlier. The word seems to have blown up in the 1930s, though, and historical Google News and Books searches uncover numerous examples from that decade and the 40s. By the 1960s it was in use outside horse racing."

OK thunderclap, have it your way. The revolution will proceed on the back of spelling evidently. Thanks a lot.

First, there is no “revolution,” and second, you have remarkably thin skin.

If you want to be understood clearly and without error, good spelling, good grammar, and good syntax are essential.
