Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: 36 Hours After Russell Vought Took Over He Shut Its Operations - PROJECT 2025

Trump Disavowed Project 2025 During the Campaign. Not Anymore.​

President-elect Donald J. Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing manifesto.

During the campaign, President-elect Donald J. Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” a right-wing policy blueprint known as Project 2025 that would overhaul the federal government, even though many of those involved in developing the plans were his allies.

Mr. Trump even described many of the policy goals as “absolutely ridiculous.” And during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, he said he was “not going to read it.”

Now, as he plans his agenda for his return to the White House, Mr. Trump has recruited at least a half dozen architects and supporters of the plan to oversee key issues, including the federal budget, intelligence gathering and his promised plans for mass deportations.

The shift, his critics say, is not exactly a surprise. Mr. Trump disavowed the 900-page manifesto when polls showed it was extremely unpopular with voters. Now that he has won a second term, they say, he appears to be brushing those concerns aside.

36 Hours After Russell Vought Took Over Consumer Bureau, He Shut Its Operations​

The agency had been one of Wall Street’s most feared regulators, with the power to issue rules on mortgages, credit cards, student loans and other areas affecting Americans’ financial lives.

The day before Linda Wetzel closed on her retirement home in Southport, N.C., in 2012 — a cozy place where she could open the windows at night and catch an ocean breeze — the bank making the loan surprised her with a fee she hadn’t expected. Ms. Wetzel scoured her mortgage paperwork and couldn’t find the charge disclosed anywhere.

Ms. Wetzel made the payment and then filed an online complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The bank quickly opened an investigation, and a month later, it sent her a $5,600 check.

“My first thought was ‘thank you.’ I was in tears,” she recalled. “That money was a year or two of savings on my mortgage. It was my little nest egg.”

A serious set of questions should be: Remind me again why the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created in the first place? What was going on at the time of it's creation? Who fought it's creation, and why? Why get rid of it?

Watching you loons lose what little bit of a mind you had, is delightful!
 
 
 
The crime wave of the oligarchs is just beginning.

The vast and opaque power of Elon Musk is only growing as he seeks new targets for his federal government shredding machine.

The head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency is closing in on his latest victim — an independent government agency set up to shield Americans from the Wall Street excesses that caused the Great Recession.

Employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau were abruptly told Sunday afternoon that the watchdog’s Washington, DC, headquarters will be closed this week and they should work remotely, a day after Trump’s budget chief, Russell Vought, took over as acting director and told staff to stop fighting financial abuse.

When and if verifiable evidence of such malfeasance is uncovered, confirmed, and exposed (as had been the mission of now-dismissed inspectors general) it is eliminated and the culpable punished.

Pulling vague, general, inclusive. and undocumented accusations out of your butt is a very different matter.

Neither the elderly sexual abuser/business fraud/convicted felon, nor his controlling anarchistic immigrant oligarch dictate in such matters. The U.S. Constitution prevails, and our judiciary protects the interest of Americans from crybaby blowhards and the cults that worship them.

Already verified evidence, those inspectors generals, were deep state operatives on the take to look the other way! How any American, can see the amount of fraud uncovered, and then complain they discovered it, and are cutting it, may want to think hard about the fact that they care nothing about the country, and only about their political party. You are a maroon

Of course Trump wasn't going to read a 900-page document. The man dozes off after one page.

But that doesn't stop him from hiring people associated with it who have read it.

As for the CFPB being dismantled, I am reminded of something I heard a long time ago.

If you don't learn from your experience, you WILL have a chance to learn it again.

First, they aren't conservatives. The cult is way, way, way off the conservative reservation.

Second, they serve only the oligarchs. In this case with the CFPB, the banks who are now free to return to raping you up the ass.

The thousands of regulations on the books before the CFPB didn't protect people
from banks? Sounds like Congress has some work to do.
