Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sigh. She has good ideas but she's an awful politician. "Oh let's make the CFPB a totally independent thing that exists outside the normal boundaries of the constitution - THAT'LL WORK OUT GREAT GUYS!"
Republican politicians will tell you that a tepid regulatory body fully vested under the Commerce Clause is illegal, then snatch children off the streets and disappear them without so much as a court hearing and insist they've fulfilled the wettest dreams of the Founding Fathers.
"Constitutionalism" is a fucking joke. It's Calvinball straight up to the SCOTUS and anyone who actually has to navigate this corrupt, fascist legal system knows it.
So - we should crack each other’s heads open and feast on the goo inside?
Yes, Kent, we should.
It literally has. The Republicans have been trying to shut it down for years because they couldn't corrupt it as easily. That it's becoming toothless now only through extreme measures isn't a flaw in the structure. Everything solidly in the executive is either as bad or worse. And this after being one of the most effective pro little guy organizations in government, including through the first Trump administration.
The CFPB is one of the few unmitigated Democratic successes in recent memory.
