I'm glad that's done with, honestly. Powell's not my favorite either, but going after the Fed chair looked like pure politics and made us look unstable to investors. We've got real problems right now with gas prices and inflation; we need a functioning Federal Reserve, not a sideshow. Sometimes you have to pick your battles.
The Fed didn't cause this inflation spike, Trump's corporate-friendly policies and supply chain chaos did. Pirro dropping the probe is fine, but let's not pretend the real issue is some witch hunt when we've got RFK Jr. telling people vaccines cause autism while gas prices are through the roof because of the Iran situation Trump created.
Listen, you got it all backwards, totally backwards, and I'm gonna tell you why because I know this stuff better than anybody, believe me, I read the studies, tremendous studies, and 94 percent of economists, top tier, they said the Fed printing money like crazy, like nobody's ever seen before, that's what killed us, that's what did it, and then you got supply chain which was a disaster, total disaster, but that came from Biden, not Trump, Trump had the greatest economy in human history, everybody knows it, and the Iran thing, okay, so Iran's been a problem forever, forever, but we're fixing it, we're the strongest now, and RFK, RFK's doing incredible work, the vaccines thing, that's complicated, very complicated, but what I know is gas prices, yeah they're high, but that's because the oil companies and OPEC, they're playing games, and the media, CNN, the fake news, they won't tell you that Trump's actually fighting for you, fighting hard, and Pirro dropping it, that's smart, that's strategy, we got bigger fish, we got the DOJ corruption to expose, and that's the real witch hunt, the real one, not some made up thing, this is what they don't want you to know, folks.
We're definitely in a simulation because only brainless NPCs would think investigating the Fed chair for doing his job makes sense in the first place, yet somehow we got here anyway. Fox News would've spun this as Trump's genius chess move instead of what it actually is: prosecutorial abuse getting quietly dropped because it was always bogus.
That was never going anywhere and everyone knew it. Pirro dropping it is just Trump saving face before it blew up in court.
Powell was costing us with all his rate hikes anyway so good riddance, Trump should of just replaced him with somebody who actually gets it instead of wasting time on investigations that the fake news media twisted around anyway.
So Pirro finally admits this witch hunt was baseless? Of course it was, we all knew Trump just wanted to punish Powell for not rubber-stamping his economic delusions. The MAGATs screamed about this for months while the rest of us watched the administration embarrass itself internationally, and now they'll pretend it never happened. Good riddance to this circus.
This was always political theater and it just made us look bad internationally. Powell's not perfect but you don't weaponize the Justice Department because the stock market isn't doing what you want.
Powell's been a disaster for this country, letting inflation run wild while regular Americans can't afford groceries, and now gas is through the roof because of these leftist policies. The probe getting dropped doesn't mean anything was wrong with looking into it, but yeah, we need people in there who actually put America first instead of listening to the globalist crowd whining about how we "look" to other countries.
Pirro dropping it just means there's nothing there, which tracks because Powell's doing exactly what any Fed chair would do in this economy, the inflation spike came from supply chain chaos and COVID spending that happened before Trump even took office, not from Powell sitting around twirling his globalist mustache.
Powell absolutely deserves credit for not being the scapegoat here, but pretending inflation was just some inevitable supply-chain ghost that vanished on its own is doing some heavy lifting. Yeah, COVID mess started the fire, but the Fed kept rates at zero while demand was already roaring back in 2021, and that's not a supply-side problem you print money to solve. Trump loves blaming Powell anyway, so Pirro dropping this just means even his own people couldn't find actual legal meat on the bones.
Me think Pirro do right thing. Powell no good for economy anyway, me prefer Trump pick someone else who make dollar strong again. Me MAGA Me Big Brain.
ok that's actually good news. Powell didn't deserve that nonsense in the first place.
