Kiss ass! 😡

He IS that awful

*Looks at NYSE Markets are rational, I was told.

Hey couchamour, EVERYONE doubts that she committed mortgage fraud you pimple of a barely human being.

The people should f*cking decide what mortgage rates they should be paying ARE YOU HIGH??

I apologize...I should not have insulted pimples like that, which are a result of natural processes in our pores. Unlike this chucklef*ck.

the hidden endtimes danger to them taking over the fed is not actually interest rates people don't know the fed can then be instructed to buy ASSETS simplified it's a bank that can print money like then buy anything the president wants it could collapse the country financially, forever

Deranged.

You know, if we had elected that lady with the degree in economics, this wouldn’t seem quite as scary as the greedy, corrupt, con artist making these claims.

The dark is colder at night. Same shit.

For the definition of "sycophant" in dictionaries, they can save text by just plugging in a photo of JD "Shillbilly" Vance.

Listen to a felon who stole from his own charity for kids with cancer, ran a fake university stealing money from people paying for investment advice bankrupted contractors by refusing to pay the full amounts of the contracts he signed, Epstein’s buddy, a self proclaimed sex offender… No thank you

“Trump’s actual policy proposals, such as they are, range from immoral to absurd.” JD Vance February 18, 2016 USA Today column

We're at full on banana republic now.

Appears that JD Vance seems to have put Trump before his god. Isn’t that against one of Ten Commandments?

The Accord with the Treasury's not gonna make it to 75, is it?

JD Vance is talking in circles without any proof of what he is saying is truth! They are eating the cats and dogs! This Type of garbage comes out of his mouth!

Trump committed 34 counts for business fraud! Convicted

All the above

This you couch fucker? bsky.app/profile/team...

Why are mainstream media covering this as if it’s normal?

Mainstream Media doesn’t want to be sued. Trump is running the Oberon Hungarian playbook to bog down dissent by frivolous lawsuits.Oberon is pseudo dictator as well.

With a shrinking base of subscribers they’re afraid of alienating anyone.

They ARNT covering it! The level of danger and stupidity should warrant this to lead The Today Show tomorrow…. They won’t even reference it!

Back to Taylor Swift news, I suppose

that's why I'm quite convinced things will get a lot worse before they get better

Is, idk, Marketplace not mainstream?

he doesn’t cover this on MP, he doesn’t suggest any of what he posts here on his major national news platform. NPR (separate from APR) is similarly cowed, public radio failed us

I know longer know what mainstream media means.

Stupid Moronic Sychophantic

He knows better too. He just wants to burn it all down in incite chaos.

Throw Vance in jail with his couch, he will be happy!!!

JD Vance takes everyone for being dumb and talks BS. He is a danger to our country.

There was a reason some of the boards and committees congress created were independent and shielded from interference from the executive. Letting someone with a political incentive be in charge of monetary policy is a bad idea, see Erdogan and Turkey for a recent example.

Crypto as a legitimate U.S. currency is not far off.

He seems to have forgotten that his boss is a convicted felon?

Slippery Tongue is a term used to describe someone who speaks in a way that is manipulative & deceitful. It is often used to refer to politicians...These individuals are often seen as untrustworthy & dishonest, as they use their words to hide their true intentions & manipulate others

We should be holding our POTUS to the highest possible standards! We need to find a way to fire him now, before the next election and before he destroys our democracy.

d) fatuous e) all of the above. (e) is the correct answer.

And literally no follow up. She just moves on to the next topic. Embarrassing.

my gawd Vance is an empty headed shill for fascism.

Vance thinks the guy with 5 bankruptcies, a convicted felon (falsifying business records), knows monetary policy. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have been somewhat arrogant all my life. In this group, I wouldn't even make the cut. But at least I'm not that delusional.

Oh, puhleeze!

Is there a word for the opposite of charisma? If not, let's just call it vance.

d) ...deranged

D) …all of the above

Zero Interest Rates For All!

(I'm sure it's been said, but..) d) ...all of the above.

That describes this entire clown show tyrannical regime.

Remember folks: Trump’s $200 million + outstanding real estate debt probably requires that interest only is currently payable, so if the Fed were to reduce short term rates by 3%, Trump would realize an immediate debt service payment savings of $6 million a year

Unfit for any public office. 💩

Just say “NO” to the nincompoop!

All of the above.

Sounds like he's getting ready.

I'm Genuinely curious if in this contest in his mind POTUS means "Trump" or "anyone who is POTUS, including myself JD Vance." Is he attributing expertise to Trump specifically or whoever sits on the throne?

Before the election, Rachel Maddow aired a Vance interview with a podcaster in which he was advocating for a "CEO dictator." So, he's just projecting for his hoped-for regime--not the next Dem POTUS..

Shit. I live on a fixed income and wouldn’t trust him to manage that.

People love to denigrate bureaucrats, but that’s because they don’t understand that the system is so much better and efficient than the patronage style systems that bureaucracy replaced. Trump is trying to take us back to the government of the 17th Century. Those governments got crushed.

Nobody doubts she committed mortgage fraud? I'd say pretty much everyone doubts it who isn't a MAGA cultist. I doubt anyone believes a thing JD Vance says - that's closer to reality than anything Lisa Cook. It's nothing short of defamation of character by both JDV and Trump.

If "nobody doubts" where are actual charges? Bondi can't bring it to a grand jury.....just like w Schiff allegatiions

They consider their public accusation as sufficient evidence for removal, it's full on dictatorial.

The Lisa Cook one will go to the SC. We shall see!

Yes.

I would pick my Mom over Trump to make decisions on monetary policy. Seriously. Trump? I mean, uh, Trump?? #TACO

Liz Truss has been hammering this same message

There are few things worse than an idiot who thinks he’s brilliant.

With respect, not laughable. The other words, yes. And more.

All of the above and more!!!!!!🤬🤬this is the guy who takes over when the plague or whatever kills the convenient idiot🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Second in line, can you believe it? There should be a test.

Not hard to find at all. Almost like its legal and everything. Transparent, too. Like anyone could buy bonds, and know exactly what to expect. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal...

The president HAS the input on this decisions because the elected presidents CHOSE the Fed board.

Infinite scream.

I might add …disqualifying to that list.

Well, he is an idiot.

He's a liar, and a scumbag, but he KNOWS that he's full of shit. He's doing it on purpose. Hard to say whether it's Thiel's command or Frump's but he knows he's lying.

That’s what people keep saying… but the more and more he speaks the more I think he’s just an idiot

He's a psychopath for sure. Anybody who lies ice cold with a weird smile like that is on the psychopath spectrum for sure.

You just described half of Don Snoreleone's cabinet. Bessent, Nutlick, Hasset come to mind immediately.

Yes. A cruel confederacy of dunces.

And no one is talking about Epstein. He’s content to look like the a-hole he is.

The back story to who is pushing this whole chaotic fiasco with Lisa Cook, Schiff, and others by accusing them of mortgage fraud is beyond believable.

This is brain washing in the literal sense. JD Pance is the chosen savior of Project 2025. Clearly he will say or do anything to be crownd Project 2025's new Prince.

all of the above

He’s a fucking game show host! And he only succeeded at that because of an incredible editing crew.

Kai that’s three words

Bullshit, authoritarian, disingenuous etcetera

In this interview, @usatoday.com reporter Francesca Chambers simply lets JD Vance tell her what he wants to tell her without her challenging him at all. This ISN'T journalism. It's gaslighting. It's stenography. And it's a big shameful FAILURE - what Americans are seeing daily from media!

what a steaming hot pile of gishgalloping bullshit

d) ... illegal The Fed is independent of the elected officials for a reason.

We're going to end up with funny money...

I see he doesnt believe in Central Bank independance, that not going to go down well in the bond market at all.

Looks like JD’s been studying his Orange God on how to sit in a chair during an interview…needs to work on the “ accordion hands “ bit when he’s lying though…

Ok JD, so do we want a person who has been convicted of 24 felonies to sit in the Oval Office making decisions about what is lawful ??

d) …wrong

This was a test, right Kai? I see seven words (and three extraneous letters). What did I win? ;-)

Is Project 2025 just a sheet of paper in a manila folder with MAKE AMERICA NOT A SUPERPOWER ANYMORE printed on it in 144 pt Comic Sans?

d) ...all of the above

He’s trumping at the bit to succeed him

We should be supporting Lisa Cook by every means possible. Contact your congress person - a lot. Donate to her defence fund. If you're local and have the time and money, show up at the Fed and carry signs. Like a LOT of Black Women she is fighting for democracy for us all. STEP UP WHITE FOLKS!

We're going down, aren't we.

Does Vance dig up his uninformed arguments from under his couch?

No he’s not!

"If Vance says it, you know it's wrong."

Trump wants Powell to lower interest rates by 1,500%.

They know not what they are talking about

Vance knows, he's lying on purpose. Because he's an evil sack of shit.

The scary part is…. He knows this is wrong!

And so deeply stupid, and wrong and factually incorrect, and historically disproven, and internationally denounced, and corrupt, and self serving and economically destructive.

The FEDS value and relevance rested solely on it's independence.

All of the above

He will say anything, anything! that will keep him near to whom he regards as the axis of power, the FF, or whoever else is in charge. An empty shell, for others to fill.

He did go to some New England college. Did he attend class?

“criminal mistake” Does this dumbass know the president is a convicted felon? The irony.

d) …typically obtuse

I guess that "Whip Inflation Now" button I've been holding onto since 1974 is going to come in handy in the near future...

Playing to the insecure, anti-intellectual, anti-expert base.

It actually makes sense for someone to be fireable by the potus even when they're a lying fascist idiot clown.

Power hungry, arrogant and ignorant all rolled into one couch-loving package.

Jerk comes to mind

Just bollocks as govt borrowing costs are lower because president can’t do this

Imagine this guy could be the President and do all these when the other guy is packed in a box and we all read the long awaited obit.

That would be bureaucrats who are economists..

All of that, and I’d add horrifying.

Clearly JD will say anything to be able to continue to get his vacations.

All of the above

Unconstitutional.

The idea that winning an election therefore means you have a mandate to do whatever the fuck you want, is of course, patently ridiculous.

You forgot d)infuriating

All of the above, of course.

JD has started wearing Donald's ties

“Stephen Miller: Secretary Kennedy has been a crown jewel of this administration.”

Stephen Miller pronouns: he/himmler

F'ing JOKE

Sure, let’s hand the reins to the unstable nepo guy who filed bankruptcy 6x - several of which involved casinos (the only regulated business model with a guaranteed advantage over the customer). MAGA!

Oh, the Irony of what he's spewing.🙄

d)

And up is down, day is night, and stop means go. The constant barrage of stuff this unmoored from reality has started to make me shudder. Profoundly unsettling.

This is literally "crack a fucking book asshole" for why this is such a bad idea. The creation of the Fed was a direct result of what happened when politicians had too much influence on monetary policy.

Oh, sorry...actual historical facts are "woke"

Or check out every other country doing this now.

We’re so screwed. If trump were impeached or if god mercifully strikes him dead, THIS is the head that grows in his place.

These MF seem to forget they WERE VOTED IN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. Everyone of these REPUBLICANS in the white house are looking out for #1 THEMSELVES.

evergreen ⬆️

D) all of the above

Argentina here we come

It’s all about control over something that should be above politics.

HAHAHAHAHA Hoo boy!!

Is it even a remote possibility that he actually believes even 1/5 of the lies he just spewed in this interview? I don't know what's more dangerous - that he IS that stupid or that this 2 minute interview's talking points are so well rehearsed,smooth, & planned out so that MAGA swallows it blindly.

Who is you favorite closeted gay faux-christian 'Republican' (not sure the latter really exists in the anti-democratic skid marks that profess to call it a political party), i digress, is it Mikey? Dame Linds? Your thoughts?

It’s scary enough that the next President of the United States is so power craven to adopt this ridiculous philosophy. It’s even made worse when you realize he’s vaunting Trump. So the next President of the United States is also a POWER CRAVEN IDIOT.

Here’s an idea. Let’s let Peter Thiel set the market rates! He has everyone’s best interests at, um, that dessicated lump of tissue where the heart would ordinarily be in a human being

4) profoundly ignorant. 5) deeply disqualifying from holding office. 6) All of the above.

"cult daddy told me to say this. I'm a good boy so I do what cult daddy says"

Even when I know cult daddy belongs in a looney bin. But hey, I’m next in line so time is on my side.

I want him to shut up and never speak again. By any means necessary.

d) …all of the above

Not looking forward to the US Fed getting referenced in the same breath as Argentina and Türkiye

d) …all of the above ✅

Vance is sinister. Beware.

The fck he is ! The man who bankrupted 6 businesses! A few being casinos, there's not even a product to produce people just bring in their money! He's so stupid and clueless. He's a clown. This country is doomed.

Running the economy based upon purely political decisions? What could go wrong? We are doomed.

Also DELUSIONAL!!!

letting them run on with no press pushback is a huge part of the problem

Fucking insane. Lets ignore the trained experts and go with the reality TV show host.

I am way past laughable. Everything these people say and do is dangerous.

He’s a Peter Thiel tool and wants what Thiel wants. That’s bad news for the rest of us.

Trump was found guilty of fraud.

e)...all of the above

Those three things are the hallmark of a JD Vance comment on almost any subject!

What scares me Most is that he is first in line to succeed Trump.

And a lie!

He calls them ‘bureaucrats’ we call them trained economists. JD is a joke.

I can really see why so many people dislike this insufferable fool. He just needs to STFU. His wife needs to put him back in his cage.

Ridiculous BS...

Yale Law man. Well educated.

I would say at this rate we are six months from recession (which Trump’s people will deny) and that will be shortly followed by martial law nationwide.

Your F'ing boss doesn't meet the standard of POTUS, ffs!!!

D - all of the above.

No he is not! We did not elect him to make monetary decisions or control our justice system

Words. He is.. a) ...a b) ...fucking c) ...opportunistic d) ...Nazi

All the above

All of the above

abcdefg

We’re supposed to believe POTUS/Trump? The 34x convicted guy? The 2x impeached guy? The 4,000 court cases between 1973-2016 guy? The serial liar? The guy who tried to violently overthrow the US government guy? The “they’re eating cats & dogs” guy?

POTUS can’t determine an appropriate shade of foundation for his leprous hands, nor a plausible defense for his felonious fraud of New York State. He hasn’t clue about this.

The thing is, too many of the people who elect people can't balance a checkbook, let alone conceptualize the complexity of the world's largest and most influential economy.

I’ll take things that don’t make America great for the daily double Alex

It's straight out of the "abolish the FED" playbook.

d)…Brainwashed

Deficiente

If markets were not unmoored from reality, there would be a crash tomorrow based solely on that clip.

All of the above.

It shows how woefully ignorant of the real world he is!

📌

It's glaringly obvious that jdv is dumber than trump. And that's alarming. Like with a megaphone 📣

d) arrogant e) absurd

All of the above?

And note he said POTUS, not Trump. He’s definitely setting things up for him to be the successor in multiple ways.

Okay, JD. And also, - passengers should tell pilots how to fly the plane - motorists should decide how bridges should be built - accident victims should tell the paramedics and firefighters the best way to carry out their rescue activities Who needs specialists and experts, anyway?

He's practicing the whole being the president thing. Red tie 'n all.

Mr bankruptcy and bailout ... Sure
