That this is pretty repetitive doesn’t mean it isn’t funny that the MAGA assholes freaked out on Friday after Federal Reserve Bank chair Jerome Powell said at long last they’re going to start cutting interest rates, thus juicing the economy right about when the fanboys REALLY want it to be shitty:
“Of course the Democrats instructed the FED to lower the interest rates. They’re trying to interfere in the presidential election” – Top comment on Fox Business News’s story. Kind of sad that a Trump appointee would be so easily influenced by partisan Democrats. Shouldn’t Powell be tougher?
“Weird how the timing of this coincides with the upcoming election… they’ve got a terrible candidate to help win!” – Top comment on RedState.com’s article. “They” are up to no good again.
“Inflation has not ‘declined significantly,’ ass-hat. Anyone who buys their own food knows this” – Top comment on the Gateway Pundit article headlined “Fed Chair Announces Incoming Rate Cut… Just in Time to Boost Kamala Harris.” What’s funny is that this was the only comment that didn’t call it “election interference,” because the headline already did it for them. The poster just jumped ahead to say Powell’s lying about whether a drop from 9.1 percent in June 2022 to 2.1 could be “significant.”
“What a shock two months before the election right after the DNC convention, wow talk about playing politics with this country. The Democrats should be ashamed, but I don’t think they understand what the word means and they certainly will never assume a position where they could be ashamed or responsible for any of their actions” – Top comment on Breitbart’s story. Again, it’s interesting how people who say “I don’t care how much of a racist freak Trump is, I love what he’s done for my portfolio,” don’t actually care when not Trump does something for their portfolio.
“Inflation? Who cares about inflation. We’ve got to get Kamala elected! This is a ‘whole of government’ project” – Top comment on the Wall Street Journal’s story. Expected something a little more creative or insightful from the Journal’s readership. This is just Breitbart-level bitching.
God forbid borrowing costs go down, the economy is flooded with money, stocks go up, everyone in finance gets richer, and so on but the trade-off is it increases the possibility that they’ll have to suffer the indignity of a Black woman in the White House. That price ain’t right for them.
