Fatpacks is a goof but at least he commits to the joke. Stud is cool as fuck, he brings levity to the echo chamber.
Both of them are essential cogs in the machine that keep it running.

Both are retarded spergs who are better off being ignored.

I'm not saying this to blackpill, I know things don't happen instantly, but it's not a good thing long-term if the administration labels these people domestic terrorists but they end up experiencing no consequences for this kind of behavior. If there is no crackdown it will simply reinforce to them that they can do this.

>Trump announces he is deploying a relief force to Minneapolis, or Portland, or another city where Antifa clearly runs the local government and PD
>In response leftoids shoot up ICE, a police station, or whatever

It would be basically a 1:1 parallel.

This is the most insane thing Trump has done. Few people understand this. This is a transparent power grab by the executive office.

The President is elected once every 4 years. A seat with such a clear short-term incentive structure should NOT have the power to set interest rates. This is being done because Trump is upset that interest rates aren't zeroed out for the twentieth year in a row.

Whether you like the Fed or not, Powell has done a decent job. He was put in a difficult position, but he proved to be the first Fed Chair in decades that had to balls to raise rates and clamp down on inflation. The executive office can't just slap trumped up charges on the guy because he had to hike rates. If we are being honest, he should have hiked rates even more.

There is a lot of valid discussion about the role of the Fed, whether there should be more democratic oversight, etc. But this is NOT the way. If the executive office can just bully the Fed into plunging rates any time they are in trouble before an election, we are going to wind up with hyperinflation.

Somehow our country has cultivated the most obnoxious and simultaneously ineffective and impotent type of leftist agitator.

They will block the road and harass/inconveniece the average American while accomplishing absolutely nothing.

When they are finally arrested, they go limp as a matter of course, in the same manner a toddler would, forcing the officers arresting them to literally drag them into a car. Meanwhile you have the most annoying and impotent whistles blowing non-stop in the background. Gay lawyers will take pictures from inches away (fucking kill these parasites btw.)

This has got to be the most impotent, childish, and pathetic “resistance” in human history. It is literally a prolonged temper tantrum by grown ass adults. It’s pathetic and I feel disgust every time I watch this shit.

I want to see some skulls get cracked so fucking bad. They need to be roughed up. They’ve never been hit in their lives. It would literally improve them as people to have the shit kicked out of them just once.

Its called Slave Morality, it sums up all the modern leftist, past leftists were brutal violent shits like anyone else, but now the Left is a collective of Wormtongue.

they can't really "fight" so they do all the things they can do as a worm, and we allow it.

The Federal Reserve is the fount of evil, any act done to them is Just, period, they are the very core of the rot of America, If I could I'd huck every last one of them into a Volcano like I was Heihachi Mishima myself.

I'm of two minds about it. Raising rates slows inflation, and if we wanted to purge all the tumors in our financial system we would honestly want it even higher and for a long time, as you say.

On the other hand, this causes short term pain because businesses can't get slushy capital anymore, meaning less activity-qua-activity, less make-work jobs (which keep people financially stable, insured etc). And the Fed was very concerned with this for years and years.

It seems to me like the Fed woke up and realized it should start having higher interest rates right around the same time the short-term impact of that move would be to damage Trump. Meanwhile for decades they have given not a single shit about the long-term damage of anything they do.
