This was the other relevant story on 60 Minutes last night. Oligarchs destroying the CFPB, the consumer watchdog agency…..click on text beneath photo….

That clip was 12 minutes of scaremongering with 30 seconds of truth hidden 10 minutes into the clip. Everything the CFPB does falls under the scope of the FTC. If you shut down the CFPB, zero benefit for American consumers is lost, and all of the oversight still happens because the FTC already does it. As the one sane person in that entire story pointed out, the role CFPB claims to be doing is right in the logo of the FTC.

The CFPB is a redundant Federal Agency to extract kickbacks to Democrat politicians. It is pure corruption.

I don't know what else I expected from the same group who last week pushed the nonsense that Nazi book burnings were free speech advocacy that led to genocide. Are Democrats really so moronic that they fall for this stuff?

Germany has a new leader:


'Have absolutely no illusions': Incoming German leader sends Europe a warning about Trump​

Friedrich Merz, the leader of the center-right Christian Democratic Union in Germany, wasted no time after his party's victory in national elections warning about the dangers posed by President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk.

Politico reports that Merz on Sunday argued that Europeans needed to make a break from the United States, which he said could no longer guarantee their continent's security as it had done for the last 80 years.

“My absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that, step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA,” Merz said. “I never thought I would have to say something like this on a television program. But after Donald Trump's statements last week at the latest, it is clear that the Americans, at least this part of the Americans, this administration, are largely indifferent to the fate of Europe.”

This could mean coordinating nuclear weapons programs with the United Kingdom and France, he said, and potentially even the disbanding of the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance (NATO).

Merz even went so far as to imply that the United States under Trump was essentially on the same side as Russia when it comes to geopolitical affairs.

"I have absolutely no illusions about what is happening from America," he said. "Just look at the recent interventions in the German election campaign by Mr. Elon Musk — that is a unique event. The interventions from Washington were no less dramatic and drastic and ultimately outrageous than the interventions we have seen from Moscow. We are under such massive pressure from two sides that my absolute priority now really is to create unity in Europe."

How come MAGA can’t do the 4D chess thing here?

Do our local JF MAGA posters realize they are unpaid Russian trolls? You don’t know it, but you are. I’ve caught you cutting and pasting bot comments from Reddit and Twitter multiple times. You just repost obvious Russian bot posts, are you even aware of this?

At least the farmers get paid, you guys are like cattle to them.

So JF, are our MAGA’s real people or Russian bots? Is there a difference now?

What makes you think they aren't? AfD is the fastest growing political party in Germany, and came in second in voting. The CDU and SPD coalition has labeled AfD as anti-Establishment, too edgy and punk rock for Germany. When the ruling party does something dumb, and they certainly will because government, who do you think will be first in the mind of the Germany people to be Not-the-CDU-SPD-Coalition?

The Coup Has Failed

Trump’s falling approval ratings reveal an out-of-touch presidency, and have given space for allies to turn against him.
prospect.org prospect.org

His failure has followed the usual direction of political overreach. Brave dissidents from the political opposition, corporate America, or his own coalition didn’t suddenly rise to the challenge. It started from the bottom up, as the governed gradually but definitively withdrew their consent, giving space for those we somehow call “leaders” to distance themselves.

This doesn’t mean that the subsequent three years and eleven months will be a garden of earthly delights. Terrible things are going to happen. Good people will be persecuted and bad people elevated pretty much every day for the next 1,400 or so. But when Trump disgracefully walks out of Washington in 2029, I’m far more inclined to believe that we will have a government to return to.

THE THING ABOUT POPULISM IS you have to be popular. The moment you lose touch with the public mood, you lose the ability to set your agenda without friction. I wrote on Valentine’s Day about the big warning sign in consumer sentiment, the unanchored inflation expectations that keep resetting higher. Trump has set himself up as the only person in the government who matters, so every national problem falls on his head. Since he’s done nothing to address those inflation concerns, voters are already starting to assign blame.

Four polls showed measurable drops in his approval rating in the last week, putting him in the lowest position for a president one month after an inauguration since … Donald Trump, in 2017. A Reuters poll found the percentage of the public thinking the country’s on the wrong track rose ten points in a month, and only 32 percent approved of Trump on inflation. His economic approval ratings are lower than at any point in his first term.

When every headline out of Washington is about Elon Musk (who is also increasingly unpopular) firing workers and dismantling agencies and going after DEI programs and taking over IT systems for obscure reasons, it’s no wonder people see the president as focused on the wrong issues. Americans believe Trump has overstepped his authority, but if they were seeing lower prices as a result they probably wouldn’t care, sadly. The disconnect matters more than the lawlessness.

Nah, no way!

It's just that PJF and the Russian bots independently came to exact same conclusions given the facts. And they happened to express those conclusions using the exact same words, because great minds and mindless bots think alike.

PJF is an independent thinker, so much so that they need not type out their own posts because there always seems to be tweets that perfectly express their independent thoughts for them.

Oh please. PJF is the firehose of truth.

You went on and on for over a year about how Q-Anon was coming, Q-Anon is coming. Well, where are they? If you are hunting for purveyors of propaganda designed to hurt American interests, an essential tool for you might be a mirror.

The truth is that Zelensky is a dictator. He got into office and cancelled all elections so he couldn't be voted out. The United States has been in many wars over our history, and we never cancelled elections because of them. Pointing out Putin is a dictator doesn't prove Zelensky isn't a dictator as well. Trump is making good his campaign promise to forcefully seek an end to the Ukraine war, and I have no reason not to believe that Zelensky is actively sabotaging those efforts. It is in his personal best interest for the war to continue.

Trolls gonna troll.
 
It's funny how trumpers say that zelensky cancelled elections.
It's written in their constitution that elections can't be held while this war is being waged.
trumpers want zelensky to go against his countries constitution.
I guess trumpers figure that constitutions are meant to be ignored so they expect zelensky to act the dictator like trump and Putin would.
