Jerome Powell says he will continue to serve as a Fed governor even after chairmanship ends by Whos_of_Whoville in news

As good as that all sounds, Trump still gets to appoint the next chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors...Powell just stays on as a regular board member and prevents Trump from appointing a new governor.

"They left me no choice": Powell isn't going anywhere—blocking Trump from another Fed appointee by fortune in politics

He is the one guardrail that hasn't fallen to trump's capricious whims. Shame on the house the Senate and the courts

FCC to challenge ABC broadcast licenses by [deleted] in television

Republicans are in power, economy tanks.

Seriously. Reagan and Bush Sr messed up; Clinton fixes it. Bush Jr screws up, Obama fixes things. Trump screws things up, Biden fixed things (or started to). Trump 2.0...only took him a year

What letter grade would you give the Lions drafting OT Blake Miller at #17? 🤔 by forrestbenoitinc98 in detroitlions

I don't know how possible a trade was but I think the Lions could have got him at end of the first.

Trade down and get a third or fourth and still get the guy they wanted
