Another connection, but it's all OK when Trump is doing it. Hypocrisy much?

Some MAGA hack nominated by Trump.
Oh gee, MAGA "discovered" (no credible evidence, just hearsay by Trump, gobbled by MAGA) corruption.
Hard pass, especially when this clown had to post on twitter.

Then you agree she should face a jury as well.

They may both be corrupt, but the con party is the first to nominate a convicted financial fraud for Chief Executive :oops:, and abandon law and order and the U.S. Constitution (since they greatly hinder their criminality and treason). Really not the same, is it?

Putting legality aside for a moment, which lie do you think put more Americans in danger, Trump lying about his hush money payments being business expenses or the Democratic leadership lying about Joe Biden's mental fitness while he was in office?

If given that type of choice, my answer would always be against the convicted felon in a position of great power since it's just common sense. So, of your two examples, it's obvious that the answer is Trump. Trump has already done things that would have gotten him hanged in the first half, or so, of the American experiment.

You have an interesting definition of common sense when you consider how many lives can hang in the balance when a President -- any President -- makes a national security decision.

Yes, I agree that there have been very bad decisions made by both parties, and I've said so here in this forum. Can you say the same?

I'm not impressed with your air analogy because you didn't say why any of the accusations are true.

You are wrongfully conflating two separate and unconnected things which have nothing to do with each other.

If the DOJ brings those charges, then it'll be up to the DOJ to prove those charges in court.
I have not weighed in whether I believe those accusations to be true, or not, after all, how could I possibly know?

Trump wants, and is pushing, for lower interest rates, which, by ever economic indicator, would be the prudent economic move to make.

I recall in the spring of 2024 that this all came to light regarding her history of plagiarism within her limited writings.

That is what makes the news of her lying on multiple mortgage applications really not that surprising. She's just not an honest trustworthy person.

Trouble At The Fed: Investigation Into Lisa Cook’s Academic Record Raises Questions​


"The quality of her scholarship has also received criticism. Her most heralded work, 2014’s “Violence and Economic Activity: Evidence from African American Patents, 1870 to 1940,” examined the number of patents by black inventors in the past, concluding that the number plummeted in 1900 because of lynchings and discrimination. Other researchers soon discovered that the reason for the sudden drop in 1900 was that one of the databases Cook relied on stopped collecting data in that year. The true number of black patents, one subsequent study found, might be as much as 70 times greater than Cook’s figure, effectively debunking the study’s premise."

"Cook also seems to have consistently inflated her own credentials. In 2022, investigative journalist Christopher Brunet pointed out that, despite billing herself as a macroeconomist, Cook had never published a peer-reviewed macroeconomics article and had misrepresented her publication history in her CV, claiming that she had published an article in the journal American Economic Review. In truth, the article was published in American Economic Review Papers and Proceedings, a less prestigious, non-peer-reviewed magazine."


"In a series of academic papers spanning more than a decade, Cook appears to have copied language from other scholars without proper quotation and duplicated her own work and that of coauthors in multiple academic journals without proper attribution. Both practices appear to violate Michigan State University’s own written academic standards."

"We will review several examples which, taken together, establish a pattern of careless scholarship at best or, at worst, academic misconduct."

"In a 2021 paper titled “The Antebellum Roots of Distinctively Black Names,” Cook copied-and-pasted verbatim language from Charles Calomiris and Jonathan Pritchett, without using quotation marks when describing their findings, as required. Here is the original passage from Calomiris and Pritchett:"

Trouble At The Fed: Investigation Into Lisa Cook’s Academic Record Raises Questions

Lisa D. Cook is one of the world’s most powerful economists. She taught economics at Harvard University and Michigan State University and served on the Obama administration’s Council of Economic Advisers before being appointed, in 2022, to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, which controls...

It's more that I ignored the analogy, (which would be true and applicable in many other situations, but not this one) because I wanted to know what you would say.

The Federal Reserve was always independent before Trump. I'm not sure it's a good idea to let the executive have all the power.

He is telling big fat stupid lies to get control of the Fed.

It's possible that has something to do with it. I could also speculate that it's undignified to respond to the press over matters that should be settled elsewhere.

Unlike DJT's minions and worshippers, more rational people - in other words, "Dems, Libs and Progs" - would take the time to do their own investigation/check-ups to either verify or deny any claims made by the President.

I think you are wrongly attributing "Dems, Libs and Progs" as being rational.
How many 80% / 20% issues have those allegedly 'rational' people taken the 20% position?
Doing so is not rational in the political arena where they have taken those 20% positions.

Further, no minion or worshipper am I.

It isn't surprising in the least that you chose to ignore an analogy which puts the left in an accurate light, regardless of how true it rings.

The fed still is independent. That has not changed.

Trump just wants interest rates to come down, which would result in greater economic activity, investment, and people being able to buy homes. I'm not seeing a downside to lowered interest rates.
