Oh well, guess Trump will just have to abolish the Fed.

Once again the GOP proves to be a bigger thorn to Trump than the progressive algae. This is absurd.

It will be satisfying when this goober “retires” from Congress. I can’t stand him, even though I voted for him in 2020. The only drawback is that we’ll get a Democrat, Cooper in his place.

There has to be a money angle to his position.

A personal one.

Thom (and btw, really? why not just Tom?) Tillis is a flaming RINO on the level of Cassidy. In my years this is the only person I have ever heard of using the first name of 'Thom'. Unless I have missed something I am shocked that the board's self-appointed spelling and grammar monitor has not yet stepped in with a comment to set all of us 'you people' straight.

Of course Merkowski chimes in. Another worthless RINO.

The Federal Reserve has done more damage to this country than any other entity in our history. Tillis defending it isn't surprising given that the neocon faction of Republicans loathe fiscal sanity and depend on fiat currency for their foreign forays and MIC theft.

END
THE
FED

Only one candidate for President in my lifetime has gone this far and made it a central campaign issue. Yet his son (whose ideology is essentially identical) is routinely mocked and hated on by supposed MAGA patriots, who somehow equate loving their country with fiscal and foreign policy insanity. Ron Paul should have been elected on this issue alone, but Republicans were too busy telling America that McCain and Romney were the true conservatives.

didn’t see this covered in the other Tillis thread. What a RINO POS!

Tillis is doing the honorable thing. This is lawfare, and it should be opposed by decent people. Trump has done a lot of great things, but he’s fricked up/is fricking up several, and he needs to be reined in on them.
- Screwed up Canada. Conservatives were going to easily win. Trump flipped it to the liberals.
- Is screwing up the Maine Senate race (could cause his own conviction if Dems get both chambers)
- Has persecuted Powell, who has done the right thing. We got 4.6% annualized growth last quarter. Powell SHOULD be keeping his powder dry.
- Proposed a nutjob cap on credit card interest
- Proposed a nutjob 50 year mortgage (at least he has dropped this)

Yep. Folks in NC and AK should have better options. Each of these are flagrant rinos milking their populace (spelling check for our illustrious spelling and grammar board monitor) along with others such as Cassidy. All posing worthless pieces.

I have hope this administration is setting the table for it. It may not happen with the current guy, but perhaps his successor is able to pull it off.

First, the midterms. It could get ugly, but if it doesn’t, there’s hope.
