Trump administration orders consumer protection agency to stop work, closes building
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal.
get fucked, asswipe.
an act of congress created the agency. it needs an act of congress to eliminate it.
Michael "Up Trump's Ass" Johnson: "Well you see it's not our job to question the president"
I was gonna say, if it was going to be this simple there's no way the CFPB would have survived Trump's first term.
It takes an act of Congress to eliminate it, but apparently a rogue President can make them sit on their hands and be useless.
Awww you think law is relevant to Trump
lol welp. We’re seeing exactly how much that “rule” is worth right now. And unfortunately, it’s demonstrably worth less than the paper it’s written on.
This is a constitutional crisis, and a coup as well; it’s just that neither Congress or the SC is going to lift a fucking finger to do anything about it. Which is par for the course, if I’m honest.
sigh
How do the normal people view this. And for that matter how do the r/cons spin this as being good
"Normal people" don't read the news and were surprised to see Kamala on the ballot instead of Biden.
Indeed. Let’s hope someone normal notices this through whatever means.
Still waiting to see how any of this is going to lower my taxes or my grocery bill. I'm standing here tapping my foot, waiting lol.
