Under the bill, the Treasury secretary would issue notice to a group of intent to designate it as a “terrorist supporting organization.” Once notified, an organization would have the right to appeal within 90 days, after which it would be stripped of its 501©(3) status, named for the statute that confers tax exemptions on recognized nonprofit groups.
The law would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require the Treasury Department to provide evidence.
“It basically empowers the Treasury secretary to target any group it wants to call them a terror supporter and block their ability to be a nonprofit,” said Ryan Costello, policy director at the National Iranian American Council Action, which opposes the law. “So that would essentially kill any nonprofit’s ability to function. They couldn’t get banks to service them, they won’t be able to get donations, and there’d be a black mark on the organization, even if it cleared its name.”
Don’t forget that you were one of the stupid fucks posting/saying there’s no difference between republicans and democrats. Guess you see there is a difference now
There are absolutely differences between the two, but both R and D are sponsoring this bill.
“The current version — which was introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., and co-sponsored by Brad Schneider, D-Ill., and Dina Titus, D-Nev. . …”
Hi.
Democrats have cosponsored this bill.
Trump takes office on the 20th of January.
Joe Biden is president.
Kamala Harris is vice president.
Thank you for proving that I am right. And you are wrong.
I never said the democrats were good. American politics are broken. There are only 2 choices. Those choices are not the same. Republicans control the american government despite democrats having the presidency. Yes they could do more but they are hamstrung by republicans. Imagine what republicans are going to do with the presidency, senate, and house at the same time.
Maybe you’re not American, or anti-west, or anti-capitalism, and want this to happen - your goal is to watch them burn. Do you think the fallout from this won’t be global?
This is a Rubicon moment. Things will never be the same and that change will not be positive. Maybe at the end of it things might get better but the end of it is many decades away and in that time do you think republicans are going to help solve climate change or stop the genocide I’m Gaza, or uphold human rights if there is money to be made for the 1%? Spoiler, there’s always money to be made for the 1%. And a lot of people want that but there’s too many people who ignorantly think they have a shot at being part of the clique but they will never be.
Alternative forms of government/better options than the democrats and republicans are now off the table for that time period and IF the opportunity actually ever comes it will too late and probably only after a war worse than any that came before it. And I’m not counting the wars that will happen between now and then, which will also be worse than have happened already.
I’m not sure what your mental deficiency is but it’s clear you are being purposefully obtuse and I imagine you get off on all this. I hope you get everything you deserve and have your very own leopards ate my face moment but unfortunately that will likely be at the expense of everyone else.
You are wrong.
Reassess your life.
For the sake of the world.
This is me having a gallows humor moment and pointing and laughing at all the dipshits who were INSISTING that D and R were the same and “both fascist parties”.
No the fuck they were not. One party was stupid, ineffectual, detached from reality and the citizenry, and very far up their own asses. The other party wants to turn Congress into the Duma and give the presidency (that they just won) powers roughly analogous to what Putin has. There is a fucking difference. Refusing to see the difference doesn’t magically make it not real.
Well this doesn’t seem ominous at all.
Salem witch trials 2, electric boogaloo!
This time the victims will be companies these guys don’t wanna compete with!
The Satanic Temple?
Great!
Let’s see… Black Lives Matter is an obvious one they’d target. ACLU - less obvious, but definitely going to be in someone’s list. Planned Parenthood, for sure. EFF, because why not? Any international aid group that’s ever helped non-white, non-Christian countries. Definitely certain political action committees, as well as specific religious organizations. And almost assuredly the organizations of competing political parties.
Just fan-fucking-tastic.
Every part and every player of the U.S. government merrily skipping deeper into fascism by the hour.
