Under Mulvaney, or someone like him confirmed on a permanent basis,
Warren said, “The agency will be headed by someone who fundamentally
doesn’t believe in its mission.”

That’s the whole point. Trump has followed this pattern in all his appointments. His vision: I am the Boss. No one shall stand between me and getting everything that I want.

If there was a Department of Shower Stall Privacy Trump would appoint Jerry Sandusky the Executive Director.

Sigh. And the deplorables who will be ripped off by the giant banks will never know anything about this or even what the CFPB is. But they will know when Republicans start screaming about it when a Democratic Administration will want to bolster/reinstate it.

On topic/off topic. There was a column this weekend in the NYT or WoPo (can’t remember which) telling us baby boomers to give it up. This is so correct. I can’t agree more.

“So far in his administration, he has chosen the big banks time after time. Is he going to stand up for the working families who helped elect him?”

I’m going to go with a hard “No.” Any further questions?

Since American banks stopped funding his forays into financial ruin…I think he wants to put this agency under is thumb so that he can throw his weight around even more with the banks. Make them fawn and beg. And when donnie throws his weight…damage is done.

"Is [Trump] going to stand up for the working families who helped elect him?”

Not a chance in hell. And all signs point to the likelihood that the rubes who helped elect him will continue to think that Dump is going to “Make America Great Again” and that they’re all going to live fat and happy. I would say that those stupid fucks deserve all of the shit that is going to get heaped on them, but for the fact that the shit is getting piled on the rest of us too.

Proving once again he’s a complete fucking idiot. To paraphrase, you just can’t keep a dumb fuck down.

Yup. I started reading it, but the sense of aggrieved self-righteous just oozed out of the screen so I just stopped and moved on.

By any any measure, banks have made record-breaking profits since CFPB was initiated.
Trump is FOS.

Oh, 3 sec on Google proves the point
