  • Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook fired?

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tue Aug 26 08:53:05 2025

    Donald Trump has indicated that he believes Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook is fired. However, he cannot actually fire her; it's not within his authority. This is another one of his ways to pressure the Fed to lower interest rates. Lisa Cook is a Black woman, and it's not a surprise that he's targeting her as a scapegoat. She has already stated she will not resign and has hired a highly respected lawyer. I hope the Fed will pay her legal fees, as Trump will also have his lawyers paid by the state.

    This is the new generation of Lee. What is the significance of these creatures? What do they teach us?

    1) There are people who have grown up with developmental deficiencies and the TV has been their crutch for too many years.

    2) There are people who live miserable lives and instead of accepting responsibility for their failures, they blame the president.

    3) There are people who if you want to control what they do, you just need to be a TV broadcaster.

    Learnin is fun.
