52 House Democrats originally voted supporting this bill that they are now blocking because it would give Trump unilateral authority to strip the nonprofit status of any organization that criticizes or questions him .
The bill, titled the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, would grant the Treasury secretary power to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit deemed to be “terrorist supporting.”
@singlemaltgirl of course it won’t happen!! And it should!!
@Pungent you know how I learned about them ? Because I receive emails from “ The Intercept “, I don’t understand why they would vote for something like that .
I haven't heard of them, but I appreciate the source.
Ugh. It's all so infuriating.
I remember Senator Obama voting for retroactive immunity for telecoms who were found to have committed domestic spying before the USA PATRIOT Act was signed
McCain voted against.
And I found out from listening to Maddow on the radio
TV Maddow hasn't been critical of anything the DNC has done since Obama gave her his First Interview as President.
Ughhhhhhh, #politics
@Pungent the lack of criticism is not good , things don’t change if there is no criticism, that is why we are in the situation we are now.
@Jorro once approved - b/c the house is republican led, go after the churches that have housed, supported, sheltered, & funded all the white nationalist, christo fascist groups.
oh wait. the republicans also support those groups. so that won't happen, will it?
