Powell didn't allow Trump to set his own interest rates. Trump continues to use the DOJ for vendettas. Of course the GOP is terrified. It's in their best interests to impeach him.
Screen grab of CNBC article reads: Fed Chair Powell says he's under criminal investigation, won't bow to Trump intimidation PUBLISHED SUN, JAN 11 2026•7:32 PM EST UPDATED MOMENTS AGO Dan Mangan @_DANMANGAN • Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, he said. • Powell said the probe was the result of the Fed "setting interest rates bases on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of" President Donald Trump. • The DOJ served the Fed "with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June that testimony concerned in part, a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings," Powell said."

Makes sense.

The old expression is that any competent prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.

Glad to see that baseless charges and personal vendettas don't apply.

Americans are a freedom loving people. This result reflects that.

This isn't about justice.
This is about revenge.
And this shotgun from Hell itself is here with a message.

Shotgun Man is an alleged assassin and serial killer active in Chicago, Illinois, US in the 1910s, to whom murders by Black Hand extortionists were attributed. Most notably, Shotgun Man killed 15 Italian immigrants from January 1, 1910, to March 26, 1911, at "Death Corner," a notoriously violent Italian immigrant neighborhood at the intersection of Oak Street and Milton Avenue (now Cleveland Avenue) in what was then Chicago's Little Sicily. The area was notorious for violence committed by Italian immigrants and Italian-Americans, both independently and as a result of Italian gangs, the Mafia, and Black Hand feuding and vendettas. In March 1911, the so-called Shotgun Man reportedly murdered four people within 72 hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_Man

👀{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿}: Is Trump’s retribution campaign really about justice — or just a cheap power grab? Discover how penny-pinching pettiness, loyalty tests, and bargain-bin prosecutors are dismantling America’s institutions. Read now: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 — what’s it costing us?
𝑶𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏︱The Price of Pettiness: How Stinginess Undermines Power Or ❝Reckoning with the True Cost of Trump’s ❛Retribution Campaign❜❞ By andy J.S. Decepida Introduction: Trump’s Retribution Campaign as a Mirror Donald Trump’s much-advertised ❝retribution campaign❞ offers a unique lens into his character. Beneath the brash rhetoric and promises of revenge lies not resolute leadership, but a persistent strain of penny-pinching pettiness. More than a debate over constitutional boundaries or institutional norms, Trump’s approach is marked by a desire to game the system on the cheap — treating the Department of Justice not as a pillar of the republic, but as a low-cost legal tool for personal vendettas. Discount Dictatorship: Undervaluing Governance Rather than evoke the weighty theory of a ❝unitary executive,❞ Trump’s behaviour echoes that of a discount dictator. He seeks to transform the Justice Department into a budget-friendly instrument, leveraging public funds to wage his private battles. For Trump, governance is secondary; the only victory worth savouring is making the taxpayer foot the bill for his crusades. Prosecutors, once impartial officers of the court, are recast as bargain-bin enforcers, tasked with settling scores rather than upholding the law. Pretence of Principle: Shifting Costs, Masking Motives The ❝retribution❞ slogan, stripped of its bombast, does not conjure the mythmaking of Mussolini or any sweeping political vision. Instead, it is a familiar pattern — another scheme to shift costs onto the public, disguising self-interest as public policy. Yet, the irony is as striking as it is bitter: in his quest for vengeance, Trump undermines the very apparatus he seeks to wield. By purging the Justice Department of independent and experienced lawyers —those best equipped to build robust cases and navigate judicial scrutiny— he leaves behind a cadre of loyalists, ideologically unwavering but professionally brittle. Institutional Decay: Loyalty Over Competence What follows is institutional decay. Independence is recast as betrayal and competence drains away, replaced by purity and loyalty tests. The standard for service is no longer legal expertise but personal fealty. As a result, the quality of prosecution collapses. Seasoned prosecutors give way to the likes of Lindsey Halligan — partisan advocates whose courtroom missteps invite judicial rebuke, not legal victory. The legal arsenal Trump amasses in his pursuit of retribution cannot fire straight; his weapon is, in fact, a liability. A Frangible Arm for a Fragile Man This dynamic is captured in a single, resonant phrase: ❝A frangible arm for a fragile man.❞ The weaponised Justice Department, formidable in Trump’s imagination, splinters upon contact with reality. Its weakness mirrors the insecurities of its architect, and its failures stand as a condemnation of the cheapness and short-sightedness that produced it. Ultimately, Trump’s campaign of retribution is not a display of strength, but an exhibition of the perils of sacrificing institutional integrity for personal satisfaction.

🚨{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿}: Trump is openly ordering DoJ prosecutions of his enemies — Comey, Letitia James, Schiff, Bolton, even Fed governor Lisa Cook. Ousted U.S. attorneys, loyalists, + case-specific pressure shred DoJ independence. Legal veterans call it unprecedented; Schumer warns it’s ❝path to a dictatorship.❞
Trump has escalated his interference in the Justice Department, ousting U.S. attorneys who refused to indict his rivals and ordering prosecutions of figures like Letitia James, James Comey, Adam Schiff, John Bolton, and even Fed governor Lisa Cook. Career prosecutors describe fear, confusion, and the collapse of norms protecting DoJ independence since Watergate. Legal veterans warn the department is being bent into a tool for Trump’s vendettas, while GOP lawmakers largely shrug. Democrats call it authoritarian overreach, with Chuck Schumer warning the country is sliding toward dictatorship. ❝We’ve never seen anything even approaching this level of interference with the day-to-day job of prosecutors.❞ Carol Lam, The Washington Post, Mon. 22-Sep-2025 ❝Having personal vindictiveness steer prosecutions, you see that seeping down the ranks … And there appears to be no bottom.❞ Ibid ❝Trump says they are ❛guilty as hell.❜ Of what crime? What evidence does he have? Trump doesn’t seem to care as long as his enemies are punished.❞ Barbara McQuade, The Washington Post, Mon. 22-Sep-2025 ❝This is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Nixon had his enemies list, but it wasn’t so exhaustive and blatant as this.❞ Adam Schiff, The Washington Post, Mon. 22-Sep-2025 ❝In terms of what he wants, the end result is going to be the same. If you don’t have the evidence … it doesn’t matter who is in the office.❞ Unnamed prosecutor, The Washington Post, Mon. 22-Sep-2025 ❝This is the path to a dictatorship.❞ Charles E. Schumer, The Washington Post, Mon. 22-Sep-2025

Purges always beget more purges. Never do they result in order, except by severe exhaustion.
These questions are all critical to answer even if you believe the charges against Schiff will end up having something to them (which they probably won't). What's more, Democrats need to communicate clearly to the public that instances like these are part of a bigger story: Trump is corrupting the bureaucracy-corrupting the people's government-by seeding it with loyalists at all levels who are willing to manipulate it to carry out his crazed vendettas. As Brian Beutler explains, this sort of deep corruption of multiple agencies will inevitably create a need later to "de-Trumpify" them. Democrats should loudly let it be known right now that anyone who is carrying out corrupt orders- or illegal ones-will not be able to hide behind bureaucratic obscurity later. They will be held accountable— politically, or if needed, legally as well. There are a lot of lingering questions about this whole Schiff mess. And when we start getting real answers to them, one suspects that this story will not look like the one Trump initially set out to tell.

I was going to make a joke about flushing soft power for pennies, but it’s too awful. This is the direct result of anti-American slop being normalized by RW talk radio/Fox and newer successors, & the degree of contempt I have for *everyone* who helped is hard to describe. You lethally stupid fucks.
In his remarks, Rubio wrote that he was targeting departments that were involved in the global promotion of democracy and human rights, writing that the expansive "domain ... provided a fertile environment for activists to redefine 'human rights' and 'democracy' and to pursue their projects at the taxpayer expense. "The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor became a platform for left-wing activists to wage vendettas against 'anti-woke' leaders in nations such as Poland, Hungary, and Brazil, and to transform their hatred of Israel into concrete policies such as arms embargoes," Rubio wrote. "The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to international organizations and NGOs that facilitated mass migration around the world, including the invasion on our southern border."

None of Trump’s vendettas are a result of any moral compass. They are all because he perceived someone has humiliated him personally. Such is the psyche of a profound narcissist.

But what does he have against Latin Americans?

Did Rosie Perez say he has a small dick back in the 80’s or something?

Again, I put forth the notion, that Elon and Donald both grew up with vulgar wealth relative to those around them, and little or no real parental love or friendships. They are sad and dangerous sociopaths with weird vendettas as a result. This seems to be what motivates them.

Trump is so UN-presidential that he brought up Rosie moving in a meeting with the Irish president!

The Irish President should have asked why she moved.

Then Trump would have to explain that his citizens are moving away as a direct result of his policies and petty personal vendettas.

Trvmp's revenge vendettas are the result of his being so thin skinned, easily humiliated and unable to get past even the tiniest slight (real or imagined). He hasn't a drop of humility, you are right, but he is a "man" driven by narcissism, humiliation and revenge.

Great time for the first felon to reign in the CDC and FDA. Bird flu is spreading rapidly and the risk to humans is increasing. If this worsens, trump’s lack of leadership skills and personal vendettas, will result in disaster.

Yup. His vendettas are clearly his only priority. He doesn’t even care about his constituents. At all. He just used them. And they deserve what befalls them as a result. Fuck MAGA. I’m all out of mercy and forgiveness for those losers.

These ideas would take valuable time away from settling the President’s personal vendettas. Maybe draw some lines illustrating how these can potentially hurt people or result in personal gains for the President and I think you have a better shot.
