Discussion: Trump Has Been Brainstorming Ways To Remove Powell From The Fed

I’m sure Traitor Turtle and Lindsey Graham will take him to the woodshed.

Well, either that, or Susan Collins will not only furrow her brow, but also (figuratively) wag her finger.

PS: I see you beat me to the punch re: “criterium.” Didn’t realize that when I wrote my own. I’d say something about “great minds” and all that, but I sure-as-shit don’t meet that criteria … umm, “criterium” … er, “standard.”

This is a great idea and I fully support kicking Powell to the curb. He needs to go. Powell is an incompetent Trump Organization stooge and has made the Federal Reserve the monetary arm of the Republican party. Janet Yellen was far more effective and competent. Powell needs to go.

They won’t do anything about it because they are gutless wonders and anyone who opposes Donnie’s idiocies is going to get primaried.

He will be replaced by an even worse stooge who will do everything Trump dictates to him/her.

Probably either “Dick Dulvaney” or Shill Barr

I imagine Barr has instructed his OLC to issue an opinion that somehow lays the groundwork.

Laws written to order.

This one’s easy. The OLC simply has to determine that “cause” = “Trump has a sad.”

This is Trump’s MO: roll the dice enough times and you’re bound to find someone who fits any requirement. And the threat of termination is its own inducement.

Impeachment bait.

If Powell isn’t subservient enough for him. What’s potentially amusing here is that the fed chair is just that, the chair. They control the agenda and the discussion, and decide when to take votes, but the votes are what control policy. So if trump puts in the kind of brainless lickspittle loser you might expect, it’s quite possible that the chair will be loudly on the losing side of a bunch of votes.

And thank you for clearing the lane and placing a stepladder by the basket so I could do the lay-up.

Zero chance Current Occupant would bring in someone anywhere near as effective and competent as was she.

Did Trump learn nothing from GWB?

They way to kick start the economy is to call your buddies at FNMA and tell them to turn the taps on every wacky loan they can find.

Sheesh.
