    Another deep thought.

    Define civil? I'm not the poster telling other posters to F-off.

    Also you might want to checkout the last time I've been in this thread.

    Trump was convicted, so he should be fired?

    I thought the while argument was nobody was hurt by Trump's crimes, so he didn't deserve to be punished?

    77 million people weighed in on the validity of that conviction.

    Liberals just think the rules don't apply to them. Lisa Cook has no integrity AND is a purely political appointee... worked for Obama, appointed by Biden... she cannot be trusted to be independent, which is the Fed's mandate. She has committed mortgage fraud and it's very clear for all to see. Now we see why the Fed cut rates last year to help Kamala and now keeps them high to punish Trump...

    The fraudster Lisa Cook must step down immediately to restore the integrity of the Fed.


    GOOD DAY

    President melds a fractious coalition: The six factions of Trumpworld
    Trump’s coalition is built for internal conflict — held together by fealty to him, but riven by differences on immigration, tariffs, abortion and other policies.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/08/26/trump-coalition-factions-tariffs-immigration/

    excerpt:

    MAHA and other converted Democrats
    Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

    Some longtime Democrats — including two who had recently run for president with a “D” next to their names, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard — said they were no longer aligned with the party in 2024. They offered a range of reasons, including that the Democratic Party had gone “woke.”

    Within the crop of disaffected Democrats supporting Trump last year, Kennedy led a movement of voters willing to take a chance on the McDonald’s-loving Republican because they believed he would hear their concerns about health and medical regulations and be open to new approaches.

    Kennedy became the face of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Many of those who supported him share a skepticism of vaccines, concerns about chemicals in food, criticism of pharmaceutical companies and belief in his promises to tackle America’s obesity and chronic-disease problems.

    Tensions between the MAHA and MAGA camps have flared periodically. Loomer, for example, has attacked some prominent Kennedy appointees over their Democratic ties.

    Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who ran for president as a Democrat in the 2020 election, endorsed Trump in fall of 2024 and was subsequently named his director of national intelligence. She was confirmed despite pushback from some hawkish Republicans who questioned whether she had been overly friendly to authoritarian regimes.

    People not previously affiliated with Republican politics — fitness expert Jillian Michaels and California-based social media influencer Jessica Reed Kraus, for example — have credited their public embrace of Trump to figures including Kennedy and Gabbard.

    Other notable pop culture figures endorsed Trump for the first time in 2024, though making clear that they weren’t signing up to be permanent members of the GOP. Podcast and social media personalities such as Joe Rogan and Dave Portnoy said Trump was the better pick, but have offered a mix of criticism and praise since he entered office.

    What remains to be seen is whether this faction of newcomers will stay in the Republican camp once Trump moves off center stage.

    it's analogous to "being pregnant" vs. "half pregnant"

    That they didn't care, which means they wouldn't care in this case, in which she may not have done anything wrong at all

    77 million people weighed in on the price of eggs. Imagine what those 77 million voters now think of the price of hamburger?

    The Rs will pay if they do not listen to voters like this ...

    The Ds will win in 2026/2028 if they build a platform targeted at this voter's concerns.

    lisa cook, thru her attoney, fires back at the convicted felon




    Abbe Lowell, Cook's attorney said Trump's "demands lack any proper process, basis or legal authority. We will take whatever actions are needed to prevent this attempted illegal action."

    "I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy," she said.

    The fact that disgraced former Fed Governor Lisa Cook hired HUNTER BIDEN'S ATTORNEY tells you everything you need to know. She's a political shill serving on what should be an independent Federal Reserve Board. And she committed fraud. She lacks the minimum requirements (integrity) for the job.


    GOOD DAY

    @Nook Trump ruining decades of bipartisan relationships with India for no reason will come back to hunt America long term. India will be the next superpower and they won't ever forget how America treated them.

    People in America dont understand just how much the entire global south hates Trump. America has very few allies in the world right now

    Zero evidence she committed mortgage fraud

    Hunter biden lawyer is one of the most prestigious lawyers in DC. Hes won numerous awards from the NAACP and other agencies. Its just funny how you braindead cultists think you have something when you dont.

    There's zero evidence that Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud. Your cult leader is not God. Nobody other than you cultists give a **** what he thinks


    She standing firm as she should. She shouldn't be bullied from her job just because some psychopath wants her gone.

    We need more people like Mrs. Cook. Domt be intimidated by the facist loser
