It's curious, eh, how so much of this weaponizing is against women officials. I notice he hasn't done that with Mr. Powell.

This is all outrageous and exhausting and needs to stop. Enough already.

It’s a black women so the red meat to his yt supremacy infected base is that it’s another “Dei” hire to cut so they can put an incompetent political loyalist butt kisser in there. I can’t believe business guys are still supporting this. And since they are we need to look at how they’re mitigating the harm that will come from it? Are they propping up the stock market with crypto? So they don’t care anymore about usual market rules?

Smaller businesses are already hurting so I imagine they are not feeling all that supportive anymore, but you're right - so much to investigate. The mess and corruption are extensive and profound.

You do understand that the rates they’re talking about is how much the government loans to banks and large corporation small businesses don’t borrow money from the government at least not in the effectiveness that this is ,even if the rates go down, the banks are still gonna charge you 16 to 21% so they’re borrowing money from the government now at around 5% bitchy while they’re charging everyone 16 on average

Have you looked at all the women in important position in the Trump administration? They are incredibly impressive and are doing a great job.

Trump likes his women like everything else he touches - gilded. In other words, a beautiful exterior hiding a monstrosity underneath.

I don’t care if the Board is completely black, purple or green as long as they are bright, honest and qualified. Those three qualities have been in short supply with every Biden appointee especially judges. It’s an insult to well qualified blacks to be represented by so many poor examples when so many promising well qualified people of color who are available for important positions. It a question of qualifications and merit.

While all you say is undeniable, as of course is trumpf & his cronies' obvious sexism, classism & racism, but the unavoidable fact as far as trumpf's desperate attempt to remove Powell is that, by law he simply cannot, without Congressional approval. That is something he needs. And before we have too much sympathy for Powell, let's remember Powell is still a creature of the same forces of rampant corporate capitalism that are using trumpf as their tool, so he knows the markets will TANK if he strikes against Powell the way he would like to. It happened, small scale, already, if you remember.

I am amazed at how calmly and obediently Americans have embraced fascism. Truly baffling. I had anticipated more resistance.

I would love to do more than protest, write my red congressmen, and boycott, but I don’t know what else I can do. We have been abandoned by most of our leaders, so no one with the power is stopping these asshats.

First off you need to quit calling congressman, senators, and the president leaders they’re elected representatives and yeah, there is a fine line between insurrection and tyranny right now he’s just blowing his fucking mouth off, saying stupid shit trying to get a reaction to deflect from the fact that he’s a sex trafficker and was in business with Jeffrey Epstein

Americans are a passive, peace-loving people, except when it comes to respecting people of some races, colors, religions, ideologies that may be widespread in 95% of the global human population that is not American.

But, wait -- much of the American population is non-white, non-Christian, and non-Capitalist. So, I wonder about how many Americans have actually "embraced" fascism versus how many are simply stupefied, dumbfounded, or ignorant about the fascist takeover of America.

Resistance will arise when the working class will no longer tolerate the economic abuse by the billionaire class elites.

Once again he is working to destroy our economy. It is not unnoticed by me that not only is it another woman, but a woman of color. He’s a racist as well as a misogynist.

Let me get this straight. Jabba wants people to borrow money at lower rates so they can pay higher rates for essentials due to his tariffs. Then, when people get to the end of their credit line and can’t afford the payments, Jabba wants to repossess all their property, make them homeless and move them into his concentration camps. To do all this, he has the delightful white supremacist idea of getting Pam Blondi to falsify a prosecution against the first fed female governor of color. Do I have this right? I’m asking because, like everything Jabba does, it seems totally wrong.

Nothing in this juncture of real life fascist enactment should be shocking. WE ARE HERE Folks! The larger story needs solutions for recovery and reclaiming our sovereignty. Every state has authority and autonomy-

Option 1: Build an alternate, cooperative state-level governance.

Option 2: Quietly refuse to comply at scale.

Option 3: Prepare or threaten secession outright.

Option 4: Seek external international pressure.

My current actions include continuing to contact my members of Congress.

Declining health and increasing age-related disabilities prevent me from participating in physical altercations with the enemies of the USA.

I continue to encourage action from the younger generations that have much more to lose if they don’t take action, now.

Trump surrounds himself with women that are just like everything else he touches, gilded - beautiful on the outside hiding an ugly interior. He's said many times that he doesn't like women who look over the age of 30. His whole life is fake, from the WWE to his golf prowess to his belief that fictional movies are actually documentaries. He thinks this country's Gilded Age was actually it's Golden Age. Our actual Golden Age, if there ever was one, was arguably during the Truman and Eisenhower terms when the Great Depression tariffs were wound down/ eliminated and top personal income tax rates were over 90 percent. His whole memory is fictional.
