He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached “intolerable levels”.

The sanctions will block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.

      I’m partial to a fuck around and find out approach. Forced disarmament, dissolution of the state of Israel, a combined Jewish/Arab government is enforced. Everyone is a citizen. It worked for Germany, it will work here too. They don’t get to have an Army or anything again until they prove they’re ready for it.

      When you vote for president, you’re not voting for one man. You’re voting on the supreme court, federal judges, heads of federal agencies, regulatory commission members, and much much more. Just want to remind you to also remember that a presidential vote will impact all that, whether you like the main candidate or not.

        So he’ll appoint judges that continue the ridiculousness of corporate personhood; breaking unions; abusing migrants; and protecting genocidal criminals.

        Great. So excited.

          Liberals or fascists, pick one on one day and do something about them both the other 364 or shut the fuck up.

            That’s the thing. You can’t call yourself a liberal while supplying a literal genocide, preventing the free movement of people, or supporting unchecked corporate power.

            These were all things that were considered outside even classical liberalism. Much less the alignment of modern liberal vs conservative liberal we’ve had in the US for two hundred years.

            This is shaping up to be much more along the lines of Oligarchy vs Fascism. And you know what? They don’t feel that different to the peasants.

          Citizens United was voted on 5 to 4. All 5 that voted for it were appointed by Reagan or one of the Bushes. The 4 that voted against were from Gerald Ford, Clinton, and Obama.

          You’re just making stuff up now.

            Oh dude. That’s just the latest thing. Corporate personhood has been held by both sides for about a hundred years now. The only debate is how far it can go. The only thing Citizens United did was make their donations directly to political figures legal. They were already doing political ads and such with first amendment protections.

                Where did I say Citizens United? Where did I give any sense that it was only the most recent transgressions and not the shareholder bullshit we’ve been living under for a 100 years?
