I've never exaggerated about anything, and I recall not one single instance where you claimed that, let alone "a million." I'd be glad to respond if such a thing exists. No chance Trump ever would be successful in firing him, nor would such a strategy work as the rest of the group recommended the same raise. The claim is idiotic, similar to the claim made here that he was going to pull us out of NATO. Simply crazy, and not supported by existing law or treaty.

I'm not interested in talking to you about this. The dynamic has been in effect for decades. The president always wants lower rates, more liquidity, a happy market etc. The Fed has its mandates, which are different, and some times at odds, for the billionth time. Understand that; acknowledge that or go away.

You are way out of your lane. Say what they want, but he Executive has no ability to effectively pressure the Fed or determine Fed policy vis a vis funds rate or other actions. The Fed, for the billionth time, has its own mandate that is apolitical. Your posts indicate you do not know this. Stay with what you know.

Complete ignorance.

The Fed is independent entity whose mandate is to promote full employment, moderate long term interest rates and stable employment. Conflict between the Fed and the Executive has always been in place, the most noteworthy being the situation between Fed Chairman Volker and Reagan. They have conflicting short term interests. You put out a lot of "stuff" on a lot of different subjects, but those views seem to be grossly influenced by political view. Your point, not that it was effectively supported, is ridiculous.

I still want to hear an explanation of how trump "got into the Fed's way."

What? The Fed is an independent body.

Absolute nonsense, I have no argument with mortgage rates going up as a derivative of the Fed needing to put a damper on inflation. Not Biden's fault. Inflation brought about by years of Fed expanding its balance sheet and over the top fiscal stimulus by Congress, some needed to battle covid effects, but some for purely political goals. But...To say that the economy was a mess under Trump is ridiculous. Things were just fine until covid. I don't blame either of them for responding to it. The last stimulus was unnecessary. Either way, Biden in no imaginable way "improved it significantly."

Not to speak for him, but I suggest that what he might have meant by the "Marxist " taking over occurred in 1998.

I have no idea, and neither does anyone else on this site. The fact is that the man is an out of control maniac who seems to have no concern for civilian death as he attempts to create an impossible legacy. Those people are better off gone. Please don't extend this view to a conclusion that the US should do it. That point has not been made.

Sounds a lot like eliminating an undeniable war criminal who has set his military on non combatant civilians, and engaged in many assassinations becasue they can't do it any other way.

Either way, Putin is an individual whom the world would be much better without. He is a criminal in every sense, and a maniac who has to be stopped.

Claim. Not say.....and I know. It's my own damn fault.

Ya. That's a good one, but when I google Biden lies, I get a message that says " Google is denying your request, as we are not big enough." Mea Culpa.

I have said repeatedly that I don't give a rat's about Trump. It is wacky the way people habitually attempt to diminish a pathological liar's repeated claims of history that never happened with some justification with someone else. The man is crazy. You asked me for evidence of his separation from reality and I provided it, citing many examples, some most recent, and if I cared to, I could do this for an entire day. He is a career liar. Period. Nothing to do with Trump or anyone else.

Because I was only referring to recent lies, I didn't mention his grossly fabricated academic record. Three undergraduate degrees and finishing in the top half of his graduating law school class. Lied about his families history in the coal mines. His "great honor of being arrested on the streets of Soweto with our UN Ambassador trying to see Nelson Mandela." Lied about visiting Afghanistan to visit a "Naval Officer," which is my favorite because it is so bizarre. https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-tells-poignant-story-about-his-encounter-hank-berrien

I hate to quote such a lengthy post to make such a simple point but......I don't give a rat's about Trump, and he has nothing to do with Biden's obvious, repeated separation from reality. His extremely minor kitchen fire, was which in no conceivable way nearly resulted in a loss of his wife cat or Corvette, in no human way comes close to what happened to the people he was addressing in Maui.

His claim that he almost lost his wife, cat and Corvette in a housefire. Totally false. The details of a claim of a friendship and conversations with an Amtrak conductor. Totally false. The claim that he convinced Strom Thurmond to vote for the Civil Rights Act when he was 21. Totally false. The claim that his grandfather died in the same hospital weeks before he was born. Totally false. His claim of securing a Purple Heart for his Uncle Frank while Vice President. Probably false. I am not going to do a review of his plagiarism, which got him exposed during a failed attempt to run for president in 1988, or his ridiculously false claims about his academic record. The man has been lying and self aggrandizing for decades, and as his cognitive ability is in obvious decline, he simply has lost contact with reality. Late edit. I forgot to add his lying claim that he was not presented with an option from SecDef and Chairman JCS to leave a 2000 person contingent to protect the disgraceful evacuation of Afghanistan. He was, and he lied about it.

Biden's problems are far more serious than pneumonia. The man is divorced from reality, and every week provides more evidence of this.

I think it is a cultural thing. For bona fides, I did two years in a big brother program in Raleigh, NC. The kid I was pared with was an inner city kid and there was palpable hostility from the local men when they observed me pick the kid up. They were far more concerned, and spent far more time, hanging out with each other in athletic clothes that were were fare more expensive than what this 13 year old was provided. There was no sense of community regarding kids. I also did a couple years where I live now serving as a personal finance/budget instructor for a Christian group that serves the local inner city community and has been quite successful. I have never had a male attend. It would always be a number of inner city single mothers. Great group, but they were always without male support. My daughter in law is a fourth grade teacher who did two years in an inner city school before getting out into the county. Very bad view of inner city dads. Draw your onw conclusions, but mine is that they simply don't care, and are more interested in hanging out with their buds than in being male role models for their kids.

More comfortable with the advice he seemingly received on in the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, and then lied about? I am really concerned that this next year is going to particularly dangerous because of this man.

Nobody will ever suggest Trump is a skilled, considered, thoughtful speaker. But to keep giving this gross lie life is disingenuous, inexcusable, and frankly ignorant.

No. The persistent, malignant lying about what he was talking about is deplorable, pointed out about a thousand times, and a simply inexcusable claim that he was ever talking about white supremacists, neo nazis or any other idiotic claim. He was talking about people on both sides of the statue issue. He made his views of white supremacists and neo nazis very clear in that chat, and more than once. To simply ignore those stated claims, from his mouth and in the same statement is deliberate lying.

There are different interpretations when translated. They, and other scriptural content, argue against any establishment of how Catholics view the Pope. Clearly the history of "the Pope" is not one that indicates historical piety or credibility. The Reformation was the result of people revolting to capitalizing the papal position.

Would. Nikki Haley Ron DeSantis Would Never Biden. Trump. Any other of the current Dem mentions. Strongly consider moving out of the country. Bernie Sanders. Kamala Harris
