Opinion First Thing: Trump says he is firing Fed governor Lisa Cook in escalating attack on bank’s independence

[Damien Karras]

Oh, so DEI means unqualified now after years of saying it didn't? Thanks for finally admitting it.

you know what you're doing. Calling someone a "DEI hire" implies she wouldn't have gotten the job if it weren't for her race which further implies she is unqualified. The sentiment he is calling you out on comes from you, originally.

The reason DEI programs exist is to give people who are qualified a chance against racial bias. The presumption that it means giving unqualified people employment opportunities based strictly on race comes from conservatives such as yourself.

Nice try ( actually pathetic) .

That's what you chuds have been saying for years

What makes her a dei hire ?

Is every black person a dei hire ?

Every women hired to a prominent position?

Or is it that she was black AND a women that automatically in your twisted mind make her a dei hire?

The truth is you called her a dei hire to diminish her and justify her expulsion

The fact is she was more than qualified for the position

 

[Confucamus]

It sure doesn't tell me they agree with the attacks on DEI and AA. Especially what Hegseth's been doing to military history.

There's no attacks on African Americans. That's only coming from people who think they are stupid and voted against their interests. That the African American vote is somehow owed to Democrats. C'mon, just think rationally. Why do you think millions of minorities flooded to Trump's side last election? Do you think they are all just stupid and don't know better?

@nosrtadumbass a laugh emoji, that's about what I expected

Don't worry I wasted expecting an intelligent response , I try not to expect things from people they are incapable of providing

I see you've been getting ragdolled for that comment lol you best run along and stink up a different thread

Maybe they believed one of his many empty promises

I highly doubt Trump's position of dei swayed many voters at all let alone being something that particularly attracted black voters lol

It's a very strange position you've staked

The fact is many voters are low information voters regardless of race and it's that group trump did well with

I think it's fair to say at this point anyone who voted for Trump is pretty stupid.

Ok... And? Qualified?

This lady was about as unqualified as they come

Oh... and another plagiarist... seems to be a reoccurring in academia. And these universities turn a blind eye.

lol

I mean Joe Biden announced up front that his goal was to give black women preferential treatment and fill appointments with them, and her race and sex is the first thing mentioned in the articles about her and it's even the first thing mentioned on her wiki page.

He picked a DEI running mate, like 35% of his judicial picks in his first year were black women even though black women are 2% of practicing lawyers and the majority are in the bottom 10% of their class. He picked this lady for fed governor apparently without even vetting her since we know now she was a mortgage fraudster and plagiarist, and her most notable academic contribution was a paper saying that people who were lynched got fewer patents.

You can't say "OMG, stop making the fed political" then come on here and call some lady who is not a standout in any way who you just heard of 5 minutes ago "way more than qualified, bro" when she has a twitter feed full of BLM nonsens and Joe Biden and Stacy Abrams campaign posters.


If you're going to get your feelings hurt by referring to DEI picks as what they are, then maybe don't announce your intentions upfront of giving people preferential treatment based on race and sex.

Maybe don't commit mortgage fraud when you're about to be in charge of interest rates... which affect mortgages.

lol... shocking concept I know

 

[Islam Imamate]

He's not "right" either.

There are pros and cons to both raising and lowering the interest rate. Its not cut and dried.

No one is saying that cutting interest rates is always bad. What's alleged here is that undermining the independence of the Fed so that they make these decisions not based on their technical expertise and the prevailing economic conditions but the political whims of the president is what is bad.

Almost as strange as people like you who think you can tell black people what they should and shouldn't support. You could also go out and talk to black Trump supporters and discover that they can actually speak for themselves.

I think it's fair to say at this point anyone who voted for Trump is pretty stupid.

This is the exact attitude that led to Trump being re-elected, winning the popular vote and sweeping every swing state. 89% of counties all shifted in favor of Trump. This was less than a year ago. People like you who are afraid to read anything that may force you to look in the mirror and evaluate why you believe what you believe are being left behind. Immaturity isn't an excuse for you either. Most adults learned to respect others' beliefs and not behave like a child who had their toy taken away. If you manage to understand this, then come back to the conversation.

When the shoe was on the other foot and Trump lost was there self reflection among MAGA? Or did they in fact refuse to accept that they lost and instead baselessly claim fraud?

Nah, I just think you're dumb as hell. I don't need a mirror for that.

Lmao when all you have is a pathetic strawman in response maybe you should rethink your position

Do you have proof of that highlighted above? would love to see your source for this

Automatically guilty without charges or trial cuz orange daddy says so I guess

lol

if she was a plagarist then her academic credentials would have been removed. You can't just call people plagiarist's without there being CLEAR evidence of plagarism. The X message said APPARENT plagarism. Do you know what it takes to be an apparent plagairist? simply an allegation. So if I call you a plagairist, you are technically an apparent plagairist because I have alledged it.

 

[Confucamus]

You're asking me? I never thought the 2020 election was stolen. You can go check for yourselves. I saw plenty contending that they didn't lose in 2020, but I wasn't convinced. I saw plenty who didn't think it was stolen either and that Trump should just move on. Seeing as it's years later and Trump was just re-elected, it's safe to say the majority of the voting public has moved on.

Lmao when all you have is a pathetic strawman in response maybe you should rethink your position

That black Americans can speak for themselves? No thanks. I'll stick with that. Let me know how that works out for you though.

Nah, I just think you're dumb as hell. I don't need a mirror for that.

Thank you for proving my point about you. Again.

Her being black isn't the first thin mentioned on her wiki page though

Lisa Cook

Lisa DeNell Cook (born 1964) is an American economist who was sworn in as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in 2022

And even if it were the only thing that would be relevant to this conversation would be that it triggered you .

You can't even argue she wasn't extremely qualified for the position, it appears you see a black person in a prominent position and automatically assume the only reason they got there was because a more qualified white person was passed over .

Are you aware she won the Truman scholarship and the Marshall scholarship or did you not read that far down her wiki page ?

Impressive, two very prestigious scholarships

Those were 84 and 86 , were they dei too ?

 

[AnGrYcRoW]

Okay, so more strawmanning , you are really taking your shit posting to another level

How about addressing something I actually say rather than inventing positions for me and addressing those ?

That'd be fun
