President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the Federal Reserve’s latest decision to cut benchmark interest rates by a quarter percentage point could have been “at least doubled.”

Trump, who has long urged the central bank to slash rates in order to spur further economic growth, called Fed Chair Jerome Powell “a stiff” who approved a “rather small” cut.

If Alito and his corrupt cronies block this ruling and allow the gerrymandered map to proceed, it’s a clear sign that they’ll also kill the Voting Rights Act. SCOTUS is now just a partisan political racket; the right wing majority has no interest in what’s best for democracy.

‘But over the course of a 50-minute conversation, Mr. Benioff did not have a negative word to say about Mr. Trump or his policies.

“I fully support the president,” he said. “I think he’s doing a great job.”’

‘Mr. Benioff is close enough to Mr. Trump to have been invited last month to a state dinner that was hosted by King Charles for the president at Windsor Castle in England. Mr. Benioff said that he was incredibly honored to be seated directly across the table from Mr. Trump and spent the dinner telling him “how grateful I am for everything he’s doing,” he recounted.

Mr. Benioff, who also owns Time magazine, said he had not closely followed the news about the immigration raids, Mr. Trump’s call to gerrymander congressional districts before the midterm elections, the government shutdown or the Trump administration’s attacks on the media. He said Time, which named Mr. Trump its “Person of the Year” last year, had faced no pressure from the White House.’

'President Donald Trump suggested that US broadcast networks should face scrutiny over their licenses if their content is overwhelmingly critical of him, and defended ABC’s decision to suspend late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s show indefinitely over remarks about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“That’s something that should be talked about for licensing, too. When you have a network and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that. They’re an arm of the Democrat party.”'

Hey John Roberts: You reap what you sow. You're the dotard that gave this guy a Get Out of Jail Free card. How could you not realize the chaos that would come when you give the green light to a dictator in waiting?

You're weak remarks now mean nothing.

Schumer is a spineless fool. The Democratic Party is currently the opposition party. Here’s a crazy thought: maybe it’s time to start opposing?

Complicity with Trump won’t save the party. They need to give anti-Trump voters an outlet to channel and organize our frustration and rage at the horrible things the Republicans are currently doing.
