Sad (an understatement?) to see but no surprise. These dweebs are non-ethicists, with a touch of Loyalist inclinations.
Worse. It was a head fake.

Take a look at the history, the reason the Fed was created. One source: the Fed's web site - unless Trump's goons have taken that down as they have so many other informative resources. Hoping for the best while First Felon dismantles our democracy, our guaranteed protections=not going so great, no?
NEW: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warns that Trump is pressuring the central bank into cutting interest rates through threats of criminal prosecution. The rare statement comes after the DOJ opened an unprecedented investigation into Powell over the weekend.

They also murdered an elderly women (U.S. citizen, no record of involvement w/law enforcement) in the San Francisco Bay area last week. She was forced to the ground, her head was smashed into a window. She died later in a local hospital.
ICE agents have shot at least nine other people just since September, killing one.
Under Trump, this violence is rewarded with fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness — while nurses, teachers, and everyone else struggles to get by.
We must never become numb to his cruelty.

This is very good from WaPo. Note position of officer's feet to side of car when first shot is fired. I think everyone defending this should be asked: Was it not even an *overreaction* to fire those shots, especially 2 & 3, into her face point-blank with the officer clearly not in danger? Really?

The use of a federal resource as a propaganda tool is a disgusting attempt to further shred our republic. The First Felon = Vile.
White House white-washing of J6 continues. This latest fails to explain that if Trump was against violence, and it was allegedly fomented by Dems and the police (I guess the police wanted to be assaulted?), how does he explain not reacting immediately to quell the violence?
