Why the worry about Harris being the nominee? Come on guys! In the words of Thatcher "This is no time to go wobbly".
You know what? **** the Treasury Department, and good for DeSantis. How anybody could think these Debanking Laws are a bad thing is beyond me. And their fretting over possible money-laundering, while letting REAL risks flood over the border is just so "Government" they make me sick.
WSJ:
The U.S. Treasury Department said state laws targeted at stopping banks from dropping customers over their politics could harm national security, singling out Florida legislation recently signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Banks need to be able to probe customers so they can prevent money laundering and counter terrorist financing, Treasury Undersecretary Brian Nelson said in a letter to lawmakers sent Thursday.
“State laws interfering with financial institutions’ ability to comply with national security requirements heighten the risk that international drug traffickers, transnational organized criminals, terrorists and corrupt foreign officials will use the U.S. financial system to launder money, evade sanctions and threaten our national security,” Nelson said.
The Associated Press earlier reported on the letter, which was sent in response to a bipartisan request from several House lawmakers earlier this month.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been at the center of a political fight that has pitted conservatives against financial institutions seen as too left-leaning, which he has derided as “woke capital.” A law that DeSantis signed in May, House Bill 989, bars institutions from looking outside quantitative factors and into their “affiliations” when deciding whether to do business with customers.
The letter extensively criticized that legislation. A representative for DeSantis declined to comment. DeSantis’s communications director on his personal feed on social-media site X said the Biden administration opposes the law because it threatens the administration’s political agenda.
The law is meant to prevent, for example, a bank from deciding not to do business with a legal firearms dealer. Tennessee has also passed similar legislation.
“We are not going to allow big banks to discriminate based on someone’s political or religious beliefs, and we will continue to fight back against indoctrination in education and the workplace,” DeSantis said when he signed the bill.

But the Treasury Department warned Thursday that banks need to be able to look closely at customers when assessing risks.
Florida’s law against looking into a customer’s affiliations might, for example, stop a bank from considering their connection to a terrorist group, Treasury said.
The law also bars banks from considering factors “related to the person’s business sector,” which some banks might interpret as prohibiting them from taking a close look at high-risk sectors that trade in goods Russia could use for its war effort and the sale of fentanyl precursors, the Treasury Department said.
*U.S. officials have increasingly used the financial sector as a tool to pursue geopolitical goals, including through the extensive sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, and to fight transnational crime, such as the flow of illicit fentanyl.
*(yeah, my ass...)

I actually feel somewhat sorry for people like this. There is clearly something clinically wrong with his mental state. His entire psyche is consumed by obsession with one man, hatred, and loathing. It has to be a miserable existence.
Unsure if true. Stay tuned.

Saw a bunch of reports on X about it but saw no sources on it either. Odd.
Was that Stephen Baldwin "thing" supposed to be intimidating? Because it wasn't. It was just awkward...
Trump "fires back" at the Secret Service...uh oh...
She looks like she stayed out drinking until 3:00 am, woke up on the couch (possibly not her own), ran a comb through her hair, and drove straight to work (in that picture)
The amount of people either having to shut down their social media or losing their jobs because of Libs of TikTok over comments they are making ranging from Trump staged it to the wish he had died is quite funny to me. Not surprising she worked at one of our alphabet agencies...

Yup, Crowdstrike should ring a bell with people.
My guess. Top officials = Mayorkas
Bro it sounds like we have identical political histories. lol.
Logic informs us that we should review Marxist revolutions historically and globally to have a sense of what type things (fabricated and exacerbated conflicts) may be

why don't we see more activity regarding regular people united against something so disturbingly horrible?

They did it to us. Their ineptitude and greed and growing the state in a way that is threatening our personal liberties is what is driving us away. My liberty, my happiness, my American dream is not promised to me under our oaths to each other, but by God my pursuit of such things is mine and all of ours ultimate rights.
Nothing is guaranteed or promised except that opportunity to ascend to a better life if you put in the work. It may work and it may not. But we were promised the chance to succeed on our own merits as well as fail on our own mistakes. But it is our choice to make.
And they are trying to strip us of our free will. All a true American wants is a chance.
Guessing by that mug, she doesn't have much in her life outside of work, so she has plenty of time to foment ridiculous theories.
The humor in watching the left fabricate elaborate conspiracies, in light of the fact that we've had to listen to their twaddle for 8 years about the conspiracy kooks on the right is fabulous.
The left, with respect to Trump are embodied by Inspector Javert. LOL
Well, regular people are rarely in a position to find/observe/stop it. But I think, other than the perpetrators/consumers of that "trade" everyone is pretty damn united in their condemnation of it.
One thing that would help is to secure the Southern border.
Democrats are basically communists these days.
Even CNN is now reporting secret service spokesmen confirms Trump was denied additional security after repeated requests:
Went over to look on X and wow, Stephen Baldwin is bat sht crazy. What the hell is that guys issue, he’s further than out there. But I like it. Lookin for his poetry now.
Like I said days ago, I still think there’s a good chance Biden doesn’t drop out. The democrats know they likely lose the elections anyway because of the economy. They can just about be sure to win the houses if Trump comes in, the independents will do what they do, create gridlock by offering a compromise. The money can be used down ballot to secure the seats, and they’ll stall trump up for 4 years. After that they can have their new ticket up and running, and will probably win unless Vance becomes extremely popular, or DeSantis reinvents himself (gets a divorce). I’m sure the left will continue to try and get him out but also they would be able to raise A TON of money with Trump in the White House. They’re a tricky party they are never up to what they appear to be up to.
If you look at all the tax increases they are talking about there will be a huge segment of Americans paying close to 65% in taxes. Not sure about how they come up with the "4x higher" but basically everyones taxes go up and tons would probably go up way more than double.

Its going to be interesting for sure. The person who told me they were being prepped for kamala pete ticket sure seemed to be right given the fundraiser they did together. At least right at that time. That was such a random combo noone anticipated and i know this person is involved in grass roots type social media stuff for the party.
Cheatle will take the fall for Mayorkis’ evil a$$. She’ll probably step down and never testify and then Mayorkis will lie since he enjoys doing so.
A lot of good stuff from the rally, as I have said before I never knew until he ran for President in 2016 how funny Trump was:
Trump says of his comb over, "that's like a work of art" haha

Not that I care about Jack Black.
The media has tried to make him look good but here is the truth.

This is what we mean when we say if you begin to work down the leftist isle it literally begins to morph into absurdity. The leftist are mentally ill, there’s no doubt about it.
The truth is you cannot be consistent in left wing philosophy and ideology and also maintain any semblance of common sense. It’s simply not possible to do so. If they gain absolute power in this country my family will relocate. I think this kind of insanity needs to be highlighted for people to see just how insane the democratic parties foundation is and what their most passionate voices and activists believe.
Destiny has lost shis mind. It’s a blessing that he was cucked and another man is raising his kid. He’s a bi sexual cuck with blue hair that believes it would be okay to “theoretically” HARVEST UNCONSCIOUS fetuses for sex slaves, and having sex with animals is better than killing them. All his words, which means organ harvesting of all unborn babies would be squarely on the table and a real position of many thought leaders in the left (many lie about it). This is the territory of evil.

The only real difference is that he is smart enough to follow it to its logical conclusion, honest enough to admit it, and dumb enough to think shock value promotes his brand.
I watched a little bit of it... he's hilarious. Like he's doing stand-up.
One poitn, he was like, "I looked to my right, and then Dink! Pew"
