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.”

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. . …”

Thank you for proving that I am right. And you are wrong.

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.
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.
