Donald Trump the Megathread part II

Not going to repeat your allegation my name is URL but I hope you've got a good lawyer. Although if Giuliani is still Trump's they probably don't have to be that great…

Oh, this is interesting...

CNN is reporting that the Department of Justice has fired Maurene Comey, who served as an AUSA in the Southern District of New York.

She was a lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial and the Jeffrey Epstein case before he died.

I actually agree with tough policies on illegals if they commit crimes. You don’t have to be a Trump supporter either

Aye and many distraction attempts

is the whole thing a bit of a contradiction ie Israel trying to ‘protect’ people from being ‘obliterated’ while at the same time it is doing its best to try and ‘obliterate another very established group of people ie the Palestinians. Not only is Israel trying to reduce them in numbers through indiscriminate killings and maiming others - driving more to possible suicide but mass moving them all over the place multiple times so as to drive the group raged.

I would not be surprised in slightest if these new Cokes use same font and red/white colours as MAGA hats

And instead of “Mates” / “Family” / “Squad” etc have

Trump or Daddy on them in all caps

Coca cola have responded and confirmed there is no agreement btw.

More bullsh1t.

When Powell's term is up, Trump is going to put a yes man into the Fed - looking at the rest of his appointment its going be someone with the longest tongue rather than someone competent. If people think its a **** show now, wait till Trump can control interest rates.

That last line is something one cannot get into the brain of some people. The last video on a U.S News network of the Gd Pers responding to provocateurs "bastards etc" verbal abuse with passive restraint spoke volumes of that units discipline while ensuring the troublemakers did not enter onto the post protected.

Scott Beasant (A Trump man, current Treasure Sec) seems to be the consensus.

But rates are decided by a committee of 12 governors and the chair afaik. I don't think the 'chair' has any specific power to act alone, and no extra votes. Though obviously they have big influence. I guess a lot depends on whether the current 'keep rates as they are' Fed policy has been a 13-0, 12-1 landslide or whether it has been a 7-6 close thing. If the latter then clearly a changed vote is huge.

oddly it sounds like one of the actual better appointments he’s made.

So much unnecessary time, effort, and money spent by governments and companies around the world to deal with the tariffs all because that moron has no clue how they actually work and what a trade deficit actually means.

I mentioned this before in thread but what Trump wanted and was envious about was European style vat tax, so he he can then give money to the ultra rich via tax breaks

But he couldn’t use that approach as himself and fox spent years giving out about Europeans

So someone must have pointed out he can tax Americans via tarrifs instead and achieve almost same (tho much much dumber) and here we are
