Congress Is About to Gift Trump Sweeping Powers to Crush His Political Enemies
A bill that would let Donald Trump unilaterally revoke tax-exempt status from nonprofits is being fast-tracked through Congress.
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(c)(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
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.
C'mon lib go slide for kdolf if it means that much to you
Like deadass, if you really think this is "crossing the rubicon", if you really think being ruled over by the same kind of white man that has held the reins of this country EVERY YEAR SINCE THE SETTLER-COLONY'S 'INDEPENDENCE' EXCEPT FOR EIGHT OF THEM is such a bad thing now, then why aren't you sliding for your collaborating homies? Why aren't you building a formation?
Slide, cracker. Do it, you won't do shit. Fuck, at least the actual brownshirts that y'all plan to "peacefully transfer power to" will slide when they feel wronged; you TEMU-assed motherfuckers are so spineless in comparison. We told you this would happen, and you failed to prepare for it; so let's see what you plan to do about it. Let's see you pretend to progressive bonafides now that the man that you fear came back.
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. . .."
Harris ran a shit campaign and paid the price. It's no one's fault but hers and the Democratic Party's as a whole.
Her biggest mistake was being honest. She didn’t lie on difficult issues by saying she’d fix it in 24 hours, she didn’t tell one thing to a group and the direct contradiction to another group, she didn’t scapegoat a minority to rile up the population.
Her biggest mistake was being honest.
"The most pro-labor/union presidential candidate ever"
Lies like this?
I don’t remember her saying "I’m the most pro-union presidential candidate in the history of the planet!"
But she did have good relations with most union leaders, yes 🤣
Kamala "Build the wall" Harris did not scapegoat minorities?
Wow it sure sucks that the Dems keep letting the Republicans win then.
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.
Dems sponsored this bill.
