Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and no one -- not the President, not Musk, not Vought - can illegally shut down its work.
There is power in fighting back, and we will not let up in Congress, in the courts, or in public until we win this fight.[image or embed]

Visitor is a prime example of what waste, fraud, and abuse of one's mind looks like.

And DJT is obviously thrilled to put Corporations over The People yet again... honoring the bribes they've paid him.

God, I didnt know you liberals were so invested in government.

The one thing that's supposed to be as small as possible under our form of government. But I guess it makes sense.

In mob democracies, government is huge. And I guess that why you people are the way you are.

But that's not our form of government. Our Constitutional Republic is supposed to restrain government to keep it out of the free people's lives.

Our government isn't a piggy bank for the poor.

The government is The People. Of the people by the people and for the people.

This agency is there to protect The People from the wealthy.

The problem with it is its unconstitutional structure. It's not accountable to Congress or the Executive. It's a rogue agency.

#26 | Posted by Corky at 2025-02-11 12:07 PM

"But as these audits are finding out"

What "audits"? There are no audits. Only threats freezes lockouts chaos and disruption. An audit does not require the agencies (agencies authorized by law) to shutdown. No one needs to go on administrative leave. No one needs to be fired illegally and without cause.

It's the Democrats using it as a piggy bank. Why cant you understand that?

You are so full of it.

The Dems are no longer in charge. These laws were created by Congress and signed by the President is what is directing what taxpayer money is spent on. Not "democrats".

Republicans are now in charge of Congress. They can change the law and appropriations as needed and in accordance with whatever policies Trump wishes promote.

"Trump and Musk Only Know How to Do Two Things With Their Power

Trump and Musk can't imagine a government that actually does positive things for citizens. So they either weaponize it or destroy it."

"Does the president even have the authority to shut down an entire federal agency? (He doesn't.) Does Musk? (No, of course not.) Will they do it anyway? (Yes!) Will the courts intervene? (Shrug emoji.)

It's possible that this is not the worst outcome for the CFPB " or the people whom the agency protects.

The early days of the Trump administration show that it only has two modes: weaponization and destruction. If the CFPB were preserved, it wouldn't continue its remarkably successful work.

It would be contorted into a Mr. Hyde-ish version of itself, aimed solely at going after the enemies of Trump and Musk."

The military protects the wealthy from the poor.
Police, Fire Depts, and a huge nationwide security industry protect the wealthy from the poor.

Protecting the wealthy will become Luigi-tougher as the oligarchs become more transparent in their contempt for poor Americans.

The numbers of the oppressed will soon swell to include millions more angry 2nd amendment citizens who are armed. It wont be long till current MAGA (poor rural Americans who are about to see Mayberry turn into Grapes of Wrath America) will be joining the anti-trump half of the voters once MAGAts have lost the farm, the job, the medical care, the IRA/401K, and financial security, they will plot against the wealthy along with masses.

Do you plan to see military retirement benefits continue to be paid after Muskrump steals our Social Security and Mecicare/Medicade ?

You think he cares about an uppity retired Major? You are on the chopping block to BOAZO, Suckers and Losers, Maj phkup, and you are about to become a sucker and a loser.

The government has been your piggy bank since you were a kid. I'd wager you have extracted more Guberment cheese from the gubmnt piggy bank than anybody else on the RETORT.

To you, the Government always was, and still is a piggy bank strictly for you with the poor paying higher tax rates than the morbidly wealthy.

Sit TF down and shut TF up, you Government-cheese-eating emeffer.

You are a gvmnt hand-out welfare queen. You will be a poor man as soon as your Cheese gets cut off by real 'rich people'.

The agency we are discussing was shuttered because it was a law enforcement Agency protecting the American Citizens from corporations who break laws. Period! Knowing this, you somehow decided it was logical to turn the thieves into the victims.
With logic like that, you musta been one effed-up leader of men.

"Some Republicans and banks opposed the idea, but its creation was included in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was passed by Congress and signed by Obama in 2010."

Trump could appoint a boot licker to close the doors and twllthe employees to refrain from doing work but he cannot abolish an agency approved by Congress without Congressional approval. Hey, I understand the the Republican majority are all cowards and will do whatever Trump/Musk tell them to do but I believe some of them will eventually regenerate theto stand up ir atrophied spines and stand up to the wannabe dictator but then maybe I give them more credit thsn they drserve.Come on Republicans, it's time to stand up to Musk who was never elected to any office and who worked illegally in the United States.

Trump is removing the agency that prevents US citizens from donating to foreign candidates, among other traitorous expenditure restrictions.

Access and power by favor, reciprocation and corruption - all for sale and spreading their oppression globally.

Musks concentrated wealth as it's own government oversight is the decline of democracy, and TrumpCo is dismantling agencies that he feels safeguard it.

At some future point where public desperation overwhelms fear, would you expect those with the most guns or assets sitting on top?

That is what you bank on. Monetary abusers. Societal parasite. Elitist authoritarian sociopath.

"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) budget for fiscal year 2025 is $823 million. The CFPB receives eopleits funding from the Federal Reserve in quarterly transfers."

Pretty obvious that closing this agency wasn't to save money for the taxpayers; more like just a favor for big banks to prevent any bothersome consumers from having assistance when the banks screw them out of their homes. It's also just racist Trump and Musk eliminating anything that Barrack Obama and Democrats did after the Bush Bubble blew up in 2007-08 which is generally something that happens at the end of every Republicab President's term in office. I bought my condo in 2006 and the bank that I got a mortgage from did try to talk me into one of those variable interest rate mortgages but I refused and I am so glad I did. A couple I became friends with right across the street from me lost their home because the payments increased so much when the interest was raised they just couldn't afford it as was happeng to thousands of people all across the country. And right here in this thread we have people stupidly plauding the closing of this bureau foe no good reason.

Danni is the person who disowns her own children over political affiliation. She's also wished ill on those who don't follow her political sentiments. I guess you really can see karma at work in real time, right here.

It's clear she owns your ass, too.
You two are so clueless.
So self-righteous.
So morally bankrupt.
So repugnant.
Such massive morons.

It's funny how deep she gets under your thin entitled skin.
Truly.

You're describing yourself and many others here with Gracie.

You realize that, right?

Every single post from Gracie attracts posters such as yourself almost immediately and with nothing more than personal insults.

"Danni is the person who disowns her own children over political affiliation. "

Only a totally classless person would make such an insensitive, stupid and actually completely wrong comment. In actual fact my kids and I actually agree on pokitics completely; in fact, they hate trump more than I do! That's because they are smarter than me! lfthndthrds though is just stupid to even post a comment like that; it only serves to make others think he is a fuc**ng Ass***e!

That schtick is old, Eberly.

In the meantime, the CFB which has saved THE PEOPLE of America BILLIONS, and has gone after Musk over his self-immolating Teslas is GONE.

And Musk couldn't be happier.

You MAGA folks are such useful idiots. You are so being played - and we are all paying the price.

You just can't comprehend how the US Government is "We the People" way of holding business to account, as flawed as it is. Enjoy the show while the billionaires wipe out all the protections we had. Enjoy this brave new world we're entering.

Might as well officially rename the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to Center of Darwinism Competition.

Had its structure been constitutional - accountable to either the executive or legislative branch - this probably would not have happened.

It's an agency not accountable to the Executive or Legislative branches. It gets funding from the Fed. It's not constitutionally structured.

It was created under Dodd-Frank which passed both houses of zcongress and was signed by the President.

I was the one saying the wars were unfounded and nothing but resource-wars. Also, would do nothing but destabilize the entire Middle East. That where I always stood on those wars. And I was saying it right here on this site - for years.

You're wrong that how it was created matters to Trump at all. Also Danni's correct. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created by Congress under Dodd-Frank. You can cry about who it is accountable to, but that is not relevant.Though most agencies are overseen by the Executive, not all are. The CFPB is but one. Here's a list of agencies that are not overseen by the Executive: pitt.libguides.com Please pay attention to #4 on that list.

"If I'm wrong about that I'll gladly retract."

As I posted the Supreme Court ruled that it is Constitutionally funded.

OK, get busy retracting.

"In May 2024, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) funding structure, according to the New York Times. The ruling rejected a challenge that the CFPB's funding violated the Constitution's Appropriations Clause."

#115 | Posted by danni at 2025-02-12 02:32 PM

Also the bureau wAS not closed because of anything to do with funding anf, if any thing is unconstitutiional it is Elon Musk or Trump himself closing an agency of the federal government which was apptoved by Congress without another bill in Congress passing that orders it closed.

But as these audits are finding out, it isn't the "uber rich" you are assuming are conservatives aligned with Trump.

It's the Democrats using it as a piggy bank. Why cant you understand that?
