Any phone calls with Hunter or Jill? What about RUSSSSIA?

[ojsglove]

I’m sure they aren’t trying to hide his diminishing mental faculties oh wait…..

Another one that needs prosecuted for treason

[DavidKing-lrhu]

Powell is doing Obama's bidding and cutting out the middleman Joe poop my

Not at all. Of course not at all. He would not have understood a word. Come on man. Give him a break. He is senile

Jotato is derelict in his duties.

He's toast!

"not at all, not at
Maybe you could lure him out of his basement with an ice cream cone

[erickline]

The Chairman of the Fed (FRS) reports to Congress and not the Executive Branch!

[rosieE]

They should not be meeting in general. The Federal Reserve is to act independently from the branches of government by law.

[JimRex-sfbt]

Fed Chair Powell just testified before the House, and the stock prices plummeted. It's incredible how much influence one person can have over the entire economy. As the head of the Federal Reserve, Powell's words can send shockwaves through the market.

[texashouses]

Oh come on. Are these people for real? If I don’t stay in touch with my client, I’m gonna get fired. These government people need to go. This is getting silly. I don’t care what part you’re from there needs to be some more accountability.

[jan_darysh]

Do not find it strange. It is just Americans who do not know about Marx-Engels Capital that are making a fuss.
No problem.

[maximuslongfellow]

Has he met with Jill, Obama, Oprah, Hunter…?

[coolasamoose]

Joe's probably still working on pinching that loaf he started during their last meeting.

[MediaLieDetector]

Why should Powell meet with one of the lowest subordinates in the actual US chain of command?
Understand?

[Thisishard]

But he also said he hadn’t noticed any cognitive decline in Biden.How would he make that determination if he hasn’t met or spoken with Obiden.
