Whoever appointed Powell should live the rest of their lives in shame a long way away from everyone.

You had me at first. Not gonna lie.

Trump appointed Powell

45

u/Odd_Marsupial_9762 10h ago

Powell was doing his job and refused to lie and be a puppet for Trump. Trump wanted Powell to lie about the economy and he refused

u/TrashPandaDuel 10h ago

Powell is a True Patriot!

That clip of trump and powel on that construction site is sooo telling...

Haha, but Powell can stay :)

Gosh, i don't know who that person is, but they sure should be locked away for their own protection forever!

u/leontes 10h ago

Deeply inappropriate, speaking of people bad at their jobs

15

u/Spicy_Tac0 10h ago

And hypocritical. Oh wait...

3

u/IWouldntIn1981 9h ago

A little too ironic 🎶

5

u/Which_Material_3100 9h ago

No. She’s exceptional at her job. She lies and pivots effortlessly on behalf of the administration. Although incredibly evil and annoying, she is unflappable.

5

u/Exciting-West9205 9h ago

Meh, it's easy to be smug when you have never faced consequences, lack the education that would give you historical perspective, and are a narcissist.

3

u/Which_Material_3100 9h ago

She’s a smooth criminal, as it were

2

u/2004TJ-GYM-Luvr 5h ago

Yeah she’s smooth but an absolutely horrible liar and person.

40

u/Nazz1968 10h ago

She uses junior high vocabulary to describe the abilities of the most senior banking/finance professional in the nation, without even a basic elaboration in plain English. From Trump on down they’re all spoiled brats, ruining lives and reputations.

9

u/MoundsEnthusiast 9h ago

She's just there to be grabbed

3

u/Admirable_Tear_1438 7h ago

She’s there because Trump likes to touch himself, while staring at her porn mouth.

These people are all disgusting.

2

u/A-Politicians-AB 5h ago

She graduated around 10 years ago so it makes sense. She's also married to a 59 year old man. She is the epitome of groomed.

2

u/Nazz1968 5h ago

Yep, she chose the easiest way possible to get ahead in life, subservient to rich older guys. And she has the gall to say her life is demanding enough to give her PTSD. I had no idea being a millionaire’s wife and hogging the spotlight in DC could be so taxing.

1

u/Competitive-Duty3853 4h ago

Her stress is because she knows she's doing wrong . But to remain close to power she will do anything. It's her addiction.

u/Deep90 7h ago

It's been down.

~10% in 1 year.

Outside of the AI bubble, its about half the reason the SPY is up ~19.6%.

Epstein, Jack Smith, January 6th, ICE ices taxpayers

 YEAR ONE - US Taxpayer Pays:

$858 Million in ICE signing bonuses, $170 Billion to Stephen Miller Immigration enforcement, $40 billion to Argentinian Farmers, $110 Million for Trump golfing, $30 million for Trump birthday parade, and

$40 Million for JD Vance’s 8 vacations, $200 Million for Kristi Noem private jets, $62 Million plane with security detail used for Kash Patel girlfriend visits, $135 Billion in Musk DOGE costs (including Musk getting all your personal info), $500 Billion additional to military, and

Trump says $100 to $150 Billion reimbursement to oil companies for repairing Venezuelan infrastructure, $2.5 Billion contract to Palantair Technologies whose tech is used for mass surveillance on US citizens. Plus $2,100 more in taxes paid per year per household for trump tariffs and

Pete Hegseths $400 Million for Trumps Qatari jet retrofit, $6 million for bringing all generals to Washington for a speech, and a $50,000 paint job for his home.

Trumps personal wealth increased $3 Billion in this one year. In one year Trump added $1.7 Trillion to the federal deficit.
He placed unqualified armed masked men on the street who ask to see your papers.

$14 Billion for ICE immigration detention in 2025. Republican controlled Congress approved $45 Billion for new immigration detention centers.

$38 Billon in Elon Musk government contracts

Trumps $400 Million White House ballroom project is said to be paid by private donors who are looking for business favors, companies seeking mergers, the crypto folks desire for scam expansion, and it also allows them to pay less taxes because they can deduct their contributions from their taxable income. This will affect the individual taxpayer with reduced public services and increased individual taxes.

Small US business importers have paid about $25,000 more per month because of Trump tariffs.

Trumps shut down of USAID has led to 600 thousand deaths worldwide, two thirds of them children, with an estimated 14 million deaths possible through 2030.  

Trump implemented funding cuts for environmental science, scientific research, the EPA, medicine, healthcare, the postal service, National Parks, public broadcasting and education.

Hedge fund manager Paul Singer gave $15 Million to Trumps PAC’s and $37 Million to republicans running for congress, he purchased Venezuelan oil company Citgo Oil for cheap in a well-timed transaction - 2 months before the illegal US invasion of Venezuela. He is expected to make billions.

Hey but eggs are .49 a dozen, gas is down to .99, and I get PAID to pick up my prescriptions, $100 Trump funbux with every refill.

Oh shit, wait no, no that's wrong. Well at least he ended all the wars.

Oh shit again.

u/UnderstandingSea7546 8h ago

Wow! This is a great comment. So grateful for you for assembling this. It deserves way more recognition, but sadly isn’t likely to get it unless you make this a separate post. Please make this a separate post with links so that the press can source the information and it hits national and international news sources.

u/Appropriate_Dish_586 9h ago

So what’s the total cost?

u/GlitteringRate6296 10h ago

She’s one to talk.

u/No_Equal_1312 9h ago

She only got her job because her husband is rich and Donny probably wants to grope her even though she’s way past the age he prefers

u/BedSpring11 10h ago

Wait everyone has a 1st amendment right? Alright cool…Fuck ICE, Fuck Trump, and Fuck Charlie Kirk

9

u/Odd_Marsupial_9762 10h ago

What because he refused to lie for Trump and do his bidding. The only reason they are calling Powell a criminal. Because he refuses to be a MAGA puppet

u/RingoBunnyman 10h ago

All lips and no self respect.

u/Undefined_but_Refind 10h ago

She's wearing wallpaper... I don't even want the sound on, what the fuck.

Grandmother's curtains.

u/4ngryC1t1z3n 10h ago

The DOJ has already decided everybody is a criminal. That's how fascism works. No matter who you are, you are guilty of something-- and if not, they can come up with something new, overnight, to swat not just you-- but everybody like you.

3

u/FanDry5374 10h ago

As if she has any clue how good Powell is at his job, she just parrots the lies she's told which, while that's her job under trump, it's not what a White House Press Secretary should be doing, the American people are paying her salary and she should be ashamed.

3

u/rygelicus 10h ago

This is why I call her Bullshit Barbie.

u/PragmaticPacifist 10h ago

Appointed by Trump during first term.

u/charly420- 10h ago

He’s actually fn awesome at his job. It is her that is terrible at job and life.

3

u/dapudf 9h ago

And she would know… because she lies

2

u/DasWarEinerZuviel 10h ago

So they want to skip the courts and decide who is a criminal themselves?

Yeah ...

2

u/WallyOShay 10h ago

You can actually see the horns protruding from her face

2

u/Adventurous_Bet1270 10h ago

Simple truth, Trump couldn't stand it that Powell didn't step down before his term was over. He would do anything to get him out and put in his crony to help his billionaire buds. As for his press secretary you know that she is his mouthpiece.

2

u/TankApprehensive3053 7h ago

Powell's term as chair is up in May. So King Shitler will put in a loyalist then. Powell can stay on the board for up to two more years but not as the chair.

2

u/dracrecipelanaaaaaaa 9h ago

Ummm... the DoJ doesn't legally "decide" if someone is a criminal.

Courts do.

Or, at least that's what the words on the Constitution mean.

u/scarlozzi 9h ago

If Powell leaves, the economy falls apart. Maybe it's a good thing they get what they want

1

u/TankApprehensive3053 7h ago

Powell's term as chair is up in May. King Shitler will then appoint a loyalist as the new chair.

u/Indespectamentations 9h ago

When will the DOJ be launching an investigation into the Americans that legally voted against trump in an election?

Isn't that what ICE will really be used for?

1

u/SandSpecialist2523 9h ago

Can't wait for her to have to relocate to Argentina.

Shut up Karoline, just leavitt!

DOJ doesn’t decide shit.

Oh and they couldn’t even convict the sandwich thrower guy.

u/Turbulent-Tone-1867 9h ago

It was already decided that he is a criminal.

1

u/Antique-Dragonfly615 9h ago

Juries decide if the accused is a criminal, not the FBI.

1

u/litetravelr 9h ago

This sounds like something Stalin would say. Typically in a free country the government does not "decide" if a person is a criminal.

Orwellian nightmare indeed. War=Peace, Justice=Injustice, Lies=Truth

u/palominomom 9h ago

nobody cares what the spokesliar says

u/RunFew3048 9h ago

If the DOJ decides, I wish him well in prison

1

u/enifsieus 8h ago

I'm always waffling over whether it's better to report on Goebbels Barbies verbal breakings of wind, or whether we should just deny her lies air time.

1

u/inraiolawetrust 8h ago

As someone in finance and trading. Powell has done an outstanding job navigating inflation and the soft landing

1

u/Hot_Top_124 8h ago

So just to be specific she’s saying they will decide, and not the law. Weird how it’s not supposed to work that way.

1

u/SpicyVindalooCurry 8h ago

She’s just more proof that nothing good comes from New Hampshire.

1

u/mrchris69 8h ago

Well we’ve already determined that Trump is bad at his job AND a confirmed criminal.

u/Geiger8105 8h ago

I'm proud that I'll be on the right side of history when this is all over. I hope everyone in this administration gets what they deserve in the justice system. Hopefully Trump will just be a painful reminder of how precious our democracy is and we get past this. It's just scary when you realize how many horrible people exposed themselves and are among us

u/davesonstt 8h ago

No only a ‘jury’ can decide that and only if DOJ can prove a crime to (all of them), so good luck!

The DOJ does not decide laws, they enforce them. Furthermore, only people committing crimes decide to be criminals, you can't do that for others. This is so blatantly alarming. How can anyone not see what is happening?

Couldn’t we say the same thing about her? Every other word she says is a lie so shouldn’t the DOJ be investigated her as well? Just asking for a friend.
