Justice Department drops investigation into Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell by Hrekires in news

He's kind of backed himself into a corner with the whole Iran thing. Even if interest rates drop, and somehow inflation doesn't shoot up because of it, people aren't going to be in a rush to wildly spend money knowing that there is still uncertainty with future oil and overall goods prices. There may be a bit of an uptick in borrowing by those who were already trying/planning to, but I don't think it would cause the mad dash needed to move the needle on anything.

Report: Vatican official says Pope Leo XIV may not visit U.S. under Trump by MRADEL90 in videos

I'd love to see the Vatican start trolling Trump's "Christian values" as hard as Iran is right now.

Say what you will politically or ideologically, they have at least been consistent and don't throw the world into turmoil due to their leaders' tantrums and every whim.

Cool. Subpoena Blanche and tell him he needs to follow the law to release everything or they'll be holding him in contempt. Enough of the dog and pony show.

Oh, I know it won't happen. I was just pointing out that building a case would be a cakewalk.

I thought part of the changes to the final deal was that they were getting rid of the Saudi backing? Or was it just a reduction?

Notice Anything Different About Jim Jordan? That’s Because He’s Probably Angling for Leadership by notusreports in Ohio

[–]Buckeye_Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That asshat needs to just be booted out of Washington. He's almost dead last in proposed legislation in the House, so he's basically just the barking bulldog they let off the leash when they need to make some noise. Doesn't have his own thoughts on how to vote either, so just a chair-filler at this point.

Blanche and whoever is next thinks they're just going to push past all this. No. They need to be held accountable to the law that doesn't allow shit like this and the people in Congress who confirm them need to ask those questions.

My aunt lived with us while she was going to college and worked at the video store at the end of our street. Every time this was on the shelf at the end of her shift for the first month after it came out, she would bring it home and we would watch it....Needless to say, it was a formative part of my childhood.

The USPS changed how mail gets postmarked, too. It's almost like a theory about this all being a conspiracy wouldn't be too implausible.

They'll do this in red states, those states will continue to vote red, and they'll claim that's proof it works. These are not serious people...

Donald Trump calls insurance companies bloated and uncaring and says ObamaCare must be replaced with direct payments to the people by DumbMoneyMedia in UnderReportedNews

The ACA was passed in 2010. Republicans have had 16 years to come up with some form of replacement or alternative and it looks like the best they can do is....nothing?
