This seems really bad. Like textbook bad.

Sir: did you mean to type "Hell. Where we go?" 🤔

Finds a way to sack the black woman

Up next: stagflation and an actual depression. They intend to crash everything to reduce 99% of us to groveling for rice, clothes and shelter.

Rather ironic given the number of times the orange felon has lied on mortgage documents. Sigh.

I believe the only thing that has the power to shake the public’s disinterest in Trump’s authoritarianism is a market disruption.

I agree with Trump. People who commit mortgage fraud should not be in public office.

Including the office of the President, right??

Exactly my point. I did throw up a bit when I said “I agree with Trump”.

Yep, two dead giveaways 😊 1) "Trump"; 2) perfect spelling and grammar 😁

🤣

What evidence is there? She hasn’t been convicted or charged with anything dummy. Also by your logic Trump should not be in public office. He lied about the size of his penthouse. He acknowledged this in court

That was my logic. He should not be in office. He was convicted. Cook has not been convicted. She’s not even been indicted yet.

Yes, that is his logic. He's saying Trump should not be in office.

Thank for having my back.

haha

Every post about Dr Cook should include a photo of her to remind people that the real reason Trump wants her out of because she's a Black woman, and everything else is just the excuse.

This is not the time for half measures like California's "proportional" gerrymandering. Gerrymander to the maximum so that our congressional numbers roar like the Ents in TLOR.

Bye-bye bond market.

Oh boy I can't wait* to see what happens *😨😨😨😨😨😵😵😵

All it takes is an unsubstantiated accusation to show cause? Odd contrast to 34 felony convictions.

Fuck Trump.

what are the odds that this is resolved before the markets open tomorrow?

Fuck him up, Ms. Cook!

On the road to being Turkey and hyper inflation?

100%. Im investing in European equities at the moment

do u have popcorn ready kai

On the positive side, this should clean the House and Senate of all the carpetbagging Republicans. 80%?

So Fed independence, am I right? (in my best Kai Ryssdal voice)

Man convicted of committing fraud to get favorable loan terms fires Fed governor, citing baseless claim that she committed fraud to obtain favorable loan terms.

It's not "baseless" but the basis that exists isn't exactly solid. They'd have to prove that the deception was intentional and that the lenders would have made different decisions had she answered differently.

Even the label “deception” implies an intent. Here it’s not clear there was an error or misrepresentation, let alone deception. She said two residences in two cities would be her “primary residence.” Okay. Is that a thing you can only have one of? What discussions did she have with the bankers

even the claim that she "said two residences in two cities would be her primary residence” doesn't have much evidence

AIUI (from NYT reporting) she signed certificates to that effect in relation to both mortgages, a couple of weeks apart. Is even that not established? Or is your point related to the difference between signing legal docs that most people don't read vs actually making a conscious representation?

most conforming loans use a standard form deed of trust which has that occupancy clause. but there are riders for second homes/investment properties that modify or delete that language. bsky.app/profile/cbow...

Who presented her with those forms to sign? I have no idea what standard practices are for second-home mortgages when one has homes in two cities, but I have yet to see anything that’s even particularly suspicious.

love to see *his* mortgage filings.

Hopefully this goes on the emergency dockets ASAP. SCOTUS has tried to not get in a conflict but Trump is bringing it to their doorstep, are they going to answer?

I didn’t sign up for this rollercoaster

If accusation of a crime is adequate for removal, then conviction should be even better, and, boy, do I have a candidate for you

I mean... if filing false statements is disqualifying, then LFG.

I would guess that on the alleged merits, this firing will be stayed while she litigates. Where that goes, who can say. But she's in charge for at least another quarter of bad economic news.

She will sue. She will win. There is no "for cause" that he can use to fire her.

HE HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF FRAUD

If anyone accused of fraud has to go, I’d humbly suggest there’s someone lodging in the WH who’s actually been adjudicated to have committed fraud who really, really has to go.

100%

why? because of the color of her skin. run , run, run, but you just can't hide.

Used to be in this country if you wanted to learn about Nazi history you read a book, not kept up on Stephen Miller and his daily spasms of fascism.

guarantee you that NYT will both sides this extortion attempt (in fact, they already have...with an "explainer" on whether he can do this...while glossing over the fact that you do not have "cause" if one of your political henchmen puts out a letter with completely untested allegations)

Another detestable move by a detestable man. A egotistical move we will all pay for.

wait, a Pulte is in the government overseeing housing?

Correct; approved by the senate in March. Grandson of Pulte Homes founder. A Trump toadie with access to tens of millions of homeowners’ borrowing data. We can expect a lot of Trump enemies to be accused of mortgage fraud.

See you in court

I didn't see anything about the Epstein files In that letter...

Another brick in the wall.

Oppose.
