@Ric_RTP This is never going to go anywhere. Banks are not obligated to only do business with American citizens. That's literally retarded. Most of them have International customers that may or may not visit here, commercial banking, etc. And many Americans bank overseas.

Trump is about to lock 157 million Americans out of their own bank accounts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed an executive order forcing every US bank to collect proof of citizenship is "in process." And he just doubled down: "If Treasury and the banking regulators say it's their job, it's their job." This sounds irrelevant but here's what this really means: Per the Congressional Research Service, only 48% of Americans hold a US passport. That leaves over 170 million Americans without one. REAL IDs don't count. Driver's licenses don't count. Social Security cards don't count. Per Wall Street Journal reporting, banks will need a passport or birth certificate. The Brennan Center found 21.3 million voting-age US citizens don't have documents proving their citizenship easily available. These are Americans who are about to lose access to their own bank accounts. And here's the thing: The order applies to new AND existing customers. Banks could be forced to close accounts of people who can't produce documents. Your 78-year-old grandmother born at home in 1948. Your naturalized dad who lost his papers 30 years ago. Your cousin mid-passport renewal. The official story is that this stops illegal immigrants from accessing banking. But the actual reality: Illegal immigrants can't open US bank accounts anyway. Know Your Customer rules already require SSNs or ITINs. The existing system ALREADY blocks what this order claims to block. So who does this actually target? The half of Americans without a passport. Rural Americans. Elderly Americans born before centralized record-keeping. Black Americans in Southern states where birth records were historically unreliable. Low-income Americans who can't afford $225 for an expedited passport. The American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, estimates this adds 33 to 73 million paperwork hours and $2.6 to $5.6 billion in compliance costs. Guess who pays those costs? You do. Through fees. Through closed accounts. Through denied loans. Bessent's defense quote: "I have a place in the UK, they want to know who lives in every apartment." Bessent's net worth: $600 million. He has a "place in the UK." He will not be affected by this. So this isn't really about immigration. For the first time in American history, access to the banking system would be conditioned on proving citizenship to the federal government. That creates a permanent database linking every American's finances to their citizenship status. Once that database exists, it gets used by ICE, voting enforcement, tax enforcement, Social Security, and future administrations for purposes nobody has announced yet. Every future government gets the keys to decide who has a bank account based on paperwork. And Wall Street's reaction tells you everything: Bank execs privately called it "unworkable" and "a complete nightmare." One researcher called it "a way to weaponize the banking system to achieve political ends." They're not pushing back because they love immigrants. They just KNOW the compliance costs are catastrophic and half their customers will walk. Tom Cotton also introduced a companion bill in March making it a federal crime for any unauthorized person to "open or maintain a US bank account." Maintain. Meaning existing accounts. These things are literally being drafted right now. I'm surprised that all of this went under the radar.

The Trump administration is completely exposed. An expert Press TV journalist confirms the downed F-15 rescue mission was a total lie fabricated by Washington to hide a strategic defeat in Isfahan. The Pentagon is desperately trying to cover up their disastrous operations.

@factpostnews That sucking sound is Israel.

Since Argentina is being talked about more these days, here is something that will make your jaw drop if you've never heard about it. One of the most powerful and notorious crime rings in the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a Jewish Ashkenazi mafia organization called 'Zvi Migdal' (and sometimes 'Ashkenazum'). Their expertise? Trafficking young girls into prostitution across the globe (from Poland to India and New York; they even trafficked some Jewish Moroccan girls). The center of their operations was Buenos Aires, and for a while they were so powerful, and handed out so much bribe, they practically dominated Argentina's political system. Epstein was not a pioneer, you see. Zvi Migdal preceded him by more than a century. I was waiting a long time for someone to point out the similarity, but no one did, so there you go

There’s always just enough votes for Israel to win any vote in Congress. I don’t think they’ve ever lost a vote in my lifetime. And it’s always just enough votes, no matter how many they need from either side. It’s a bullshit game played on the American people to rob us.

HOLY SH*T: Marjorie Taylor Greene just revealed her kids received serious death threats after Trump called her a "traitor." She reached out to Trump directly. President Trump criticized her and said it's het fault if her son gets killed. Bro... Donald Trump sounds evil now.

@Newsweek I think you mean "has done more for Israel".

I was in Congress yesterday and I saw signs like this in front of Congressional offices. Why? Why do you have to state your allegiance to a different country right under your name and in front of your office? We get it, you get bribed by them. But this is embarrassing.

@FurkanGozukara It's time to let Kiev and Tel Aviv support each other, with their own money. No more funding.

Tucker Carlson delivers a reality check on Ukraine. After receiving billions in American tax dollars, Kiev just criminalized criticizing Israel, punishing it with eight years in prison. Washington is funding a regime that enforces literal Zionist blasphemy laws.

@Acyn "I'm not a criminal, you're a criminal! Nyaah!"

Hegseth: You like to say publicly you control the strait of hormuz—you can't control anything. Threatening to shoot missiles and drones at ships—that is not control. That's piracy. That's terrorism.

@atrupar No it won't. The US hasn't stopped any ships, amd won't. Empty talk. Iran is calling the shots in SoH.

Caine: "Let me be clear -- this blockade applies to all ships, regardless of nationality, heading into or from Iranian ports. Enforcement will occur inside Iran's territorial seas and in international waters."

Did you know the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations—on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, and other Jewish groups—told Congress in 2024 that FISA was needed for "the safety and security of Israel"?
