Chattering clown of regressive, trickle-down economics Stephen "No Moore" Moore has been forced to withdraw as incompetent con man Donald "Not Exonerated" Trump's bizarre nominee for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board. Moore's withdrawal comes soon after fellow wingnut Herman "Shucky Ducky" Cain was forced to withdraw from consideration from the Board.
Whatever support Moore had among the Rethuglican majority in the Senate had collapsed recently, as evidence of his unfitness surfaced, from derogatory statements about women to a racist comment directed at President Obama. He also had stiffed his ex-wife out of $300,000 in support and alimony payments. We won't even go into his 18th century economic views which could be summarized as "give the wealthy more money, cut regulations down to nothing, and shift the tax burden to middle class and working families."
Senate Rethuglicans from John Thune to Joni Ernst signaled to Trump that his boneheaded pick would probably not clear the Senate confirmation process. Beyond the fact that he was effusive in his praise for narcissist Trump on TV and in print, who knows why he was...oh, wait.
BONUS: Surprise! The White (Supremacist) House just told him yesterday his nomination was "full speed ahead." Look out for that iceberg, Stevie!
Moore got totally kneecapped. Asked him if WH was going to yank his nomination: "Nope, I talked to them yesterday and the message is 'Full speed ahead, don't let them get you down.' They said the ball's in my court." Guess Trump took the ball away...— Joshua Green (@JoshuaGreen) May 2, 2019
