As long as there LEOs who will enforce a non-existent law and courts who will back them, nothing, I guess.Other than to vote and make as much noise as possible. . BTW, I read he’s already backing off on this one.
If he did that to cities in Republican states he would get some gratitude, from at least their governors. But that’s not really the point because It’s not actually about crime. He is not concerned with helping Republican states because he already got their votes. His only concern is bullying the Democratic states who didn’t vote for him. If MAGAs had half a brain you’d think they would realize that. He’s not interested in making things better for them, just making things much worse for others. But I guess in the end they are ok with that.
According to this episode of Jack Cocchiarella’s YouTube channel, Alex Jones is claiming that Kash Patel and/or Pam Bondi will be fired within the next six months if more indictments don’t start dropping and paying dividends.
Of course, it’s Alex Jones, so take that for what it’s worth.
Tina Peters?
Do you have a link, or more info?
AFAIK Trump went almost the whole day today without a new compendium of horrors item, but he has now made up for it:
Flooding the zone works rather well doesn’t it.
Non-paywalled/registration-walled version:
Gotta love this part, coming from a lifelong financial fraudster and convicted felon:
“In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter … I do not have such confidence in your integrity. At a minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence in financial transactions that calls into question your competence and trustworthiness as a financial regulator,” Trump added in his letter.
The independence of the Fed in setting monetary policy has been an essential pillar of the nation’s economic stability for more than a hundred years. Now it’s gone. Those still on the board of governors had better watch what they say and do, lest they offend Dear Leader.
Addressing this situation on Rachel Maddow’s show tonight, Paul Krugman said this is a “five-alarm fire.” 
He’ll now be able to establish his MAGA majority on the board now. Independence is dead and will be dead for decades.
But it’s not nonsense Epstein News so no one cares.
He CLAIMS to have fired Cook. Surely he can’t do that legally? :snerk:
Certainly the Federal courts and SCOTUS will say this illegal? /s
not. holding. my. breath.
Quoth Trump:
When you burn the American flag, it incites riots at levels that we’ve never seen before. People go crazy.
Ah. So the problem is not the insane uber-nationalists who ‘go crazy.’ The problem is the free speech itself.
Got it.
I see the people from Charlie Hebdo nodding vigorously in assent. Merci beaucoup for clearing that up.
It also featured in Krugman’s Substack today. He pointed out that Jerome Powell is now on the hot seat to support Cook in order to maintain the Fed’s independence.
But if he does back Cook - will Trump use this as a way to fire him? Is Trump provoking this crisis as a way to get at Powell? And if all this happens, what will the Supremes say about it? And will they matter?
I was reading this story today. It goes back to the beginning of this whole mess, but it highlights how the Trump administration isn’t just incompetent, it’s actively malicious. Try reading this and not concluding that “depraved indifference” isn’t a good descriptor. They deliberately attacked this guy, destroyed his life, and endangered his family, to sell a manufactured narrative, that they had the evidence in hand to prove was bullshit.
RFK Jr pleasing his boss. Windmills are killing the whales.
This is confusing. Shouldn’t wiping out the whales be a good thing according to these counterfactual troglodytes?
They have to be careful lest their calamitous ideology might accidentally do something useful. I guess they figure that killing wind turbines is more important than killing whales and liberals.
“From hell’s heart I blow at thee!”
But wouldn’t that make the windmills spin faster and generate more power?
Based on his current pattern I suspect that a list of cities likely to be targeted can be found here.
He’s also spoken of doing Boston in the next round. But then, this is the current mayor:
