This is sad. I'm just sad the US probably won't recover in my life time. You always want to see the world left better than you found it, not like this.
‘US District Judge James “Jeb” Boasberg wrote in the new opinion that a “mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.”’
Unless you mean it’s sad that we’re in this position to begin with, in which case I agree, but that ship sailed the moment people chose to re-elect Trump. (And arguably, when Democrats chose to stay home rather than vote for Hillary, just because they were pissed about Bernie. A tragedy of letting perfect be the enemy of good that Democratic voters are all too prone to.)

This seems like a victory:

even under trump's first term this would have been unthinkable.
some things take a long time to build, a short time to destroy, and many times longer to rebuild than the initial build.
This is what happens when a large portion of a country loses respect for its own self.
Wow. The judge openly stated that the charges appear to be made up in retaliation for not lowering interest rates.
