Lisa Cook was confirmed twice by the Senate - who, last time I checked, were elected - after being nominated by the President. What Trump wants is to reverse a legitimate democratic process here.

Vance's all-too-obvious (to us) subtext here is that only white male conservatives should have input. This an example of the danger that Vance represents once Trump finally kicks it. For many people, his lying/gaslighting *sounds* calm, reasonable & informed compared to Trump.

Right?! Because we used to know we needed experts in scores of fields to make complicated decisions and have a process by which ELECTED people determine if those experts are qualified, and now half the country pretends that ONE guy has all the answers. That’s not a government. It’s. A. Cult.

POTUS - especially this one - does not have the Constitutional power to reverse the will of the people by firing a duly confirmed cabinet member.

Lisa Cook was chosen to be fired by Trump, because she is a POC and a woman. Just as it’s a first for a former VP, a woman and a POC to have her security detail canceled.

He’s also a narcissistic sociopathic imbecile concerned only about being praised and glorified. Because apparently he had the world’s most incompetent and loathsome parents.

With Heritage Foundation to have been shown to basically be a funnel for what Trump wants specifically in messaging, their proxies in newsrooms have been going after POC and calling them DEI hires or woke hires, its extremely transparent whats going on there

They've made DEI the polite way of saying the n word.

I’d rather have DEI than cronyism. The ineptitude of team Trump would be hilarious if they weren’t so dangerous. Their loyalty to Trump exceeds their loyalty to THE PEOPLE and THE CONSTITUTION! THIS IS FASCISM! THIS IS NOT AMERICA! WAR IS NOT PEACE FREEDOM IS NOT SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS NOT STRENGTH

1 Democratic process? tyranny process, corruption process, bribery process Why do you think our founders did not want President to regulate value of money, have power to tariff? have you studied history of hyperinflation? Do you understand why we have Amendment process?

2 Almost everything in Constitution is in it to reduce bribery, tyranny, corruption. Powers in Article 1, Section 8 of Constitution belong solely to Congress and may not be shared with President. Our founders gave these powers to Congress to reduce tyranny, bribery, corruption

4 Democratic Party has chosen to be enemies of Bill of Rights and other parts of Constitution. Fake Republicans are worse. Democrats did not care about rule of law. Chose to support tyranny, bribery, corruption by giving President Resolution Authorizing force, power to tariff.

Republicans are working overtime to end democracy in the US. It was a semi-democracy at best & even that was too much for the oligarchs to allow. Jimmy Dave Vance is just a rent boy for billionaires.

Vance is *so* full of it. Any president – especially this one – are subject to politics first, economic data second. This is why the independence of the Federal Reserve was espoused from its inception. Political interference is how one destroys trust and there is a large price to pay for that.
