It looks like President Trump will select Jay Powell to be next Fed chair.
This is his face.
He has the visage of a checkered pants wearing accountant. While being a marked improvement over Grandma Yellen, Powell doesn’t hold a candle to the great bearded clam, Dr. Benjamin Bernanke.
Who the hell is he and what is his endgame?
Born in the swamp in 1953, Powell is the product of a DC lawyer (Dad) and a mathematician for the Army Map service (mom). His grandfather was dean at Columbia School of Law. It’s worth noting, Mom graduated valedictorian of Trinity College and later worked for the RNC. Like Bernanke, Powell graduated Princeton and then went on to get a juris doctorate degree at Georgetown.
From 1984-1990, Powell worked for Dillon, Read & Co where he focused on mergers and acquisitions. He then moved around from the US Treasury to becoming a partner at globalist private equity firm The Carlyle Group, from 1997-2005. After shilling for Carlyle, he wet off on his own and started his own private equity firm — later dabbling in venture capital and a DC think tank.
In 2011, he was nominated by President Obama to become a Fed head — the first time ever a President had nominated a member of the opposite party. Considered a dove and DC elite, Powell has a net worth of roughly $50 million — a piker in this day and age of excess. He also contributed $30,800 to McCain’s 2008 Presidential run.

Dude has that lower mouth, never really smiled, in common with Sessions. IRS should be happy. I hate politicians
Republican mother, Wall Street pedigreed, lawyer, dove. The market should like this guy.
Obama loves him and he loves McCain so he must think Trump is a schmuck. That he still knew how to charm Donald and give the right answers says something.
Draining the swamp?

What a bunch of rubes you Trump lovers were/are.
By critiquing Trumpsters you somehow imply Hillary wasn’t/isn’t corrupt.
What are you smoking?
The Trump vote wasn’t a vote for integrity, but to toss a wrecking ball in DC.
I guess I misunderstood all those chants about draining the swamp.
Oh and a couple of days ago a Trumpster here took offense when I suggested that they accepted Trump as a crook because he was ‘their crook’
Not all Trump-lovers have to think exactly the same. Of course.
Powell is the first goy since Volker. At least we know now that the mother of all financial crisis will happen on a white “christian” goy’s watch with which no synagogue usurer wanted to be associated. Unlike Havenstein. Powell is a patsy. A fall guy. After that, a string of usual synagogue (((suspects))) will step in again like heroes and saviors, institute a brand new financial system and continue the central banking pillaging, fraud and usury unabated. Well played.
Jesuit trained I see.
