Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The court was largely expected to go against Trump on this one because even they should understand that letting him mess with the Fed would be bad for their money, and it was still 5-4.
You can tell this because the Slaughter ruling released at the same time undermines independent agencies, the Court says the Fed is a special case for some reason. Hmmm....
It's not logic, they want a King, just not one who can fuck up their portfolio. Clownshoes Court.
Yeah. The article doesn't say anything about the dissenting opinions, but I think the 4 who dissented on the Fed case might have just been honest enough to say there's no legal reason to treat it differently from the FTC.
But... woman and black and enemy of daddy trump... doesn't matter what consequence would come of it.
Much like all other fires their king starts that ends up being negative for them one way or another, it's like they feel "it's God's plan" because their king does it.
They need to both signal that they're largely on board for Trump's remaking of the federal government and that they're reliable billionaire bootlickers. What's a reactionary judge who isn't bound by laws, ethics, precedent, responsibility, fairness, or reality to do?
That's fine, he'll just drag her to court on trumped-up charges until she leaves
I mean, that was already happening, but i think you underestimate the stubbornness of Fed Governors. Their term is 14 years and while the immediate scope of their abilities is limited, merely a few misplaced (or properly placed) words can Utterly Fuck Things Up for the entire global market. Changes in expectations lead to blah blah blah you don't want an economics lecture. In some (limited) ways, they are more powerful than a US President [that acts in good faith, which let's be real. that good faith presumption kind of undermines most everything in the field of economics]. and some of them i'm very sure see themselves that way. if they put me in that position, i'd sure as fuck take an "i was here before you, i'll be here after you, and as crab god as my witness you will leave the country in better shape than you found it or we are getting la chancla" attitude toward the rest of the government.
cool, don't think donald cares tho. Nothing will happen just like the other times this happened.
Wow... they're actually making some good decisions lately.
