You’re the type of person that gets caught up in mob mentality and would lynch a person just because someone started screaming “hang him”, evidence be damned. The entire time as you join in the chanting, you’re frothing at the mouth like a rabid hound. America is the country of guilty and you prove your innocence. Who freaking knew.

Why is mortgage fraud a common theme?

Apparently, the duplicate "primary residence" claim happens on like 5% of mortgages, so if you are looking for an issue, this is a relatively fertile place to look. There are other potential explanations than fraud for the having two mortgages marked primary residence.

Most of the people he has fired are women and/or minorities. They government firings/DRP have largely been women/minorities. Almost all of the military firings have been women/minorities. The Republicans hate women and minorities; they want them “in their place.”

No. She’s a well-respected economist who is well-liked by her peers. Trump fired her because she is a black women who had the audacity to disagree with him about raising interest rates (as do most people who have more than a high school student’s knowledge of the economy.)

He can't stomach the idea of a woman-- especially a woman of color-- having any sort of money that wasn't provided to her by a man. And to be able to talk about money intelligently? Oh god, the idea gives the man a nosebleed. It probably makes him sick to his stomach that she has the audacity to have a PhD in economics.

You’re overthinking it. He wants to replace her with someone who will vote his way. He is taking over every institution in this country.

No, not really (though I’m not the PP). It’s not a coincidence that many of the folks he is going after are women, PoC, Jewish, etc. That’s what bigots do.

Because Trump was found guilty of it.

Because he found himself a rich lackey to head up the agencies with those documents and root through them to find dirt in his enemies. There’s another thread on that here: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1288543.page

No US president before Trump has ever tried to get rid of a Federal Reserve governor for "cause." For those who think what he's doing is okay, ask yourselves why he is doing it. What might be behind this move?

The fundamental question here is whether a criminal referral for mortgage fraud constitutes sufficient "cause" for termination. Generally, "cause" is malfeasance or dereliction of duty, which means serious misconduct or failure to perform their responsibilities properly. Some have argued that criminal activity prior to taking office can also be sufficient cause, particularly if it calls into question the credibility of the person performing such responsibilities.

Everything else is irrelevant, including whether Trump is the first President to fire a Federal Reserve Board member, she is black, she is a woman, whether Trump desires to control the Federal Reserve, whether Trump wants interest rates lowered, etc...

What about the fundamental question of a man with 34 felony convictions becoming the president of this country? Is that allowed? Do you think a man with 34 convictions and a known rapist can perform presidential responsibilities? He is just mad that he was convicted of mortgage fraud repeatedly and wants to get back and is using black women as his scapegoat.

Pulte, the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is a sycophantic toady that has found a questionable avenue to try and burn trump’s adversaries and make a name for himself at the same time.

Beyond being untrue, all of those are irrelevant. He is the duly-elected President of the United States. The issue is whether the President has the authority.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Let's allow the courts to handle this, shall we?
