Maybe these whistleblowers are deep state stooges purposefully releasing nonsense to distract the public - any coincidence that β€œpost Covid” suddenly there are aliens?

Keep trying.

Here's the simple, obvious explanation: nutcases like MTG and Boebert are deeply infected by QAnon. Remember your old friend Deranged Rhino? Remember how he wasn't just fascinated with sex and children and martial law, but also all worked up about UFOs? Same thing here.

Deny all you want ... this was a QAnon influenced hearing supported by QAnon nutcases in Congress.

 

Oh, and by the way: they hate your Pope too.

 

And think before you re-post idiotic comments. The Republican Chair controls the agenda. You can do better.

So it was idiotic for that guy to tweet β€œthe UFOs are a distraction.  The FED raised rates again, and this isn’t going to end well.  The dollar isn’t worth what it was 30 or even 10 years ago.”  
 

That sounds perfectly logical to me.  
 

Unless you think everyone on Team Red agrees on everything and has the same agenda.  Maybe this guy thinks all of them are just the UniParty (shh…he does).  
 

He retweeted this recently:

 

 

 

And fyi….. I still have no clue wtf Q Anon.  
 

So if the tweet I posted is a guy that hates the UniParty and hates this UFO nonsense, then how is he this Q Anon …. guy?  Whatever that is.  


 

Be better Frank.

He’s not a QAnon guy. Several Republican members of the Oversight Committee are QAnon gals. They scheduled the hearing. They are obsessed with UFOs. The initial poster’s take that the UFO hearings were scheduled to distract from the Fed’s July decision was idiotic. You reposted it. Own it.

@The Frankish Reich assumes everyone right of center is a Qanon devotee.

 

In reality, he herself knows more about it than the rest of us combined.

Is it always Republicans vs Democrats, left vs right, with you? Is it never what's best for the country? Seems like every criticism of the Democratic party policies is followed by "well the republicans did this or that". And yes I know the same things happen on the other side of it too.

As far as inflation being tamed? Go to the gas station or grocery store and report back.

Expand  

I just did go to the gas station. $3.49. Which is up significantly from summer 2019 (the last fair comparison), but a lot lower than peak summer 2008, even in real terms. 
Oh, and on the β€œeducation” thread I just noted that you can make a hindred or so PBJ sandwiches for ten bucks. 
I’m not ascribing the good economic news solely, or even in significant part, to Biden. I am pointing out that there’s a Republican panic starting to well up. What if the economy actually looks good a year from now? Is anti-trans mania the issue we have to run on?

So we all agree that the tweet you posted - the one about the UFO Hearings being convened to distract from the Fed's interest rate decision - was stupid?

No.  The hearings are a distraction.  That’s what I agree with - deliberately scheduled to coincide with the day the FED was meeting which they knew for months - who knows.

Whatever. Republicans know the Fed is going to raise interest rates, that that will drive up loan/mortgage rates and give them an anti-Biden/Dem talking point, so they schedule UFO hearings to drown out that talking point.

Just give up already.

I mean there are other theories as to why they would schedule it yesterday

Interesting. He spread the money around all right, mostly (at least visibly) to Democrats and the Dem party, but lots to Republicans too. And he accomplished the apparent goal: crypto trading not being treated as securities trading.

Another moral of the story: these charges were dropped because the Bahamas wouldn't extradite him if they were in play. Bahamas gotta protect all their other shady businesses making big political contributions ... So make sure to flee to the Bahamas before the law comes down on you.

From the very Republican Wall Street Journal:

 

To see what an economic soft landing looks like, search no further than business hiring.

Parts of the economy are cooling, just as the Federal Reserve would like to see to combat inflation. Freight railroads, for instance, are seeing shipping volumes decline. Construction firms are cutting back on equipment purchases. A vending-machine company’s customers are negotiating prices downward.

Yet the key to a measured, inflation-busting slowdown that doesn’t sink the economy lies in whether companies hold on to workers or lay them off. And the answer, in an economy that otherwise can send repeated mixed signals, is clear: They are making a priority of keeping workers. Apple, for one, is avoiding layoffs despite economic uncertainty. 

All those retained workers, in turn, are spending their paychecks, albeit more slowly. So the economy appears to be steadily cooling, while averting the long-anticipated recession.

What's the alleged conspiracy theory?  That there are zero Dem-controlled media outlets?  Good one.
