Trump and Musk already f***ed over the Consumer Protections Bureau.


The CFPB is criminal enterprise. They're the ones who have been doing the f***in.

The CFPB is a shell agency, created by the Obama administration to shake down banks for millions in settlement money that instead of going into the treasury, is funneled to activist groups affiliated with the Democrat party.

USAID is another shell agency created to fund Democrat interests.

The DOJ and HUD also funneled settlement cash to these groups.

'Justice funneled at least $150 million into a slush fund for Democratic interests, unconstitutionally avoiding Congress.'

'In a $200 million settlement with Associated Bank, which the agency accused of lending discrimination, HUD is forcing the Wisconsin bank to funnel tens of millions in "donations" to "community groups."

That article wasn't able to show what law CFPB violated. Not even one. So, how is it a criminal organization?

Banks commit fraud of some sort, and you call it shaking them down.

I’ll tackle it differently. Just make the same post Tanko did without the ‘criminal’ part. I don’t want my tax dollars to go there. Neither does America. It’s why a boorish criminal was elected over a regular Democrat.

I am no expert on how much ‘oversight’ is needed, or how much we should spend on it. But I’ll bet under BIDEN/HARRIS it was way too much. And won’t be under Trump.

As a general rule, any cut to any federal agency is a good thing unless you can PROVE otherwise.

You sound like a wiseguy in Queens!


"Did you extort money from this man?"
"No sir."
"He said you did."
"Not at all. I just explained that he had a nice store window, and we have a high crime rate here. I said how it would be a shame if someone threw a brick thru it."

You like criminals. You voted for one. And both of you decide what crime is and isn't.

A government agency forcing defendants to send millions in 'donations' to parties not involved in the litigation may be unconstitutional.

The practice was supposedly halted in 2017. If there were any violations after that, it will be up to AG Bondi to take them to court.

Looks more like a constitutional challenge that has never occurred. Just as the born in the US makes you citizen is a constitutional challenge.

Unfavorable opinions of Trump by Pew before the attempted assassinations and election:


I might post another after Trump's coming to God moment to compare to.

I definitely see a difference in his philosophy.


Mostly atheists, but interestingly, Jewish Americans, even though Trump continues to send pallets of cash to Israel.

What is that anomaly about?


And are most folks with TDS atheist?
