We are now 25% of the way into the 21st century, but most sane people will agree that Trump Derangement Syndrome will be the most talked about malady for the entire century. But the most sad part about this, is that we have witnessed firsthand, there is no cure.

Do we know who originally requested/decided a new building made sense? And presumably someone/some entity approved it?

And why would a "Fed Chairman" be involved?

This story screams to me "why is this happening?" For a country 30+ trillion in debt?

Don't we have essential and elective/non-essential projects to delay reaching 40 trillion?

How could this be essential?

Every dollar any govt agency spends comes from us, the people of the United States. There are no unicorns or magic fairies dropping money into Powell’s pockets.

If alive today, many Democrats would support and celebrate Al Capone as long as he demonstrated his dislike of Trump in material ways.

Catching up on the history of Freud and his nephew Edward Bernays, the father of Madison Avenue psychological and emotional manipulation through media to "buy this". What I see clearly is a part of the population that is most vulnerable to succumbing to this manipulation, people already psychologically and/or emotionally unwell, being manipulated by political forces that have adopted the same methods in the media, but have it amplified by the algorithms that run social media.

The image is social media shock wires connected to the brains of the people, where some of the people are absolutely made crazy by it. They are people that are already on the spectrum of crazy and maybe previously they had just enough control to not show their crazy, but the media shock puts them over the edge, and they go off their meds.

The programming is to hate Trump for everything he says and does. And to hate all his supporters. And to back their hate, they are programmed to fear and oppose things that are not really threats and to support and demand things are actually quite bad for them.

So, there is really no reason to have any rational arguments with these people. They are full nutjobs, like the patients in the asylum, we can only lock them away and force them to get treatment.

The Fed is an anachronism by perceived function, and a clearing house of the big banks wants and needs by (often lack of) performance. Corrupt as hell, and that's the real problem. It serves not We The People in any way.

Powell's unaccustomed to any pushback beyond that given by the bellhop at the Davos Ritz.

I'd be willing to give him a pass on all the lying to Congress charges if only a hammer was laid on a table and he knew which end to grab.

By his supporters one must hold their nose to be in the same room as the sewer rats on parade. His pre-emptive video sure is a cheap ass smoke screen [ ACME Supplies ]]ala roadrunner.

Not one bit of concern for Powell or his supporters.

Why you may ask. Because every damn thing these pillars of the Democrat political ilk are saying IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID AND HAVE DONE, IN SPADES, TO Donald J. Trump, the POTUS elected to that position in a land slide of both the popular vote and the Electoral College decision! And based on my former opinion, it's fair to say that the Democrat whiners should KNOW what I am saying is correct BECAUSE THEY WROTE THE NARRATIVE FOR THIS EXACT BEHAVIOR FOR THE LAST about 8-10 YEARS! (Just ask Fanny Willis, ham bone Nathan Wade, Leticia James, Alvin Bragg, and, and, and, ad infinitum.)

This is just another flaccid argument being lodged by the most prolific example of DEMOCRAT LYING en masse ever witnessed by the world, yet again!

Uh...Powell looks like a Poindexter. But is he a cross dressing Poindexter? Or does he ride a Harley with his jean cuffs rolled up and a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled up into his left T shirt sleeve?

(Is he really a "rebel without a cause" wanna be?)
