Those that can should vacate these firms that are now full on anti-American.

And all but a few Republicans will fold like a cheap umbrella! Hope these banks have Conservatives bailing on their self righteous butts!

So basically they are placing Americans in the same group as the Japanese in 1941?

Banks are conduits for financial transactions. They have no authority to interrupt legal transactions.

Family of GOP in Congress:

Nineteen year old college woman: "Daddy, I'm at the car dealer. What do they mean rejecting me as a bad risk?"

Wife: "I have been told our credit cards are canceled and I can't even use our checking or savings accounts until their review is over."

Congressman: "How can you deny me the house mortgage on the new house? I have a fine credit score and never missed a car or house payment in my life."

Democrats voted against certifying Bush in 2000 and 2004 and Trump in 2016.


Those actions were perfectly acceptable and needed to be done by brave politicians standing up for graft, payola, bribery, pedophilia, power, money, and more power.

GOP is the party of: turn the cheek, go along to get along, eat their own, and generally just plain fools needing to be put down like the rabid animals they are.

This is why the Republicunts are caving. This is why the GOP cannot be relied upon as a party to save America. We need a grass roots movement like the Tea Party but managed with the wisdom of hindsight from the first failed attempt.

What right do these corporations have in picking and choosing which politicians they do and do not donate money?

The accompanying link lists 10 supreme court rulings that turned corporations into people: https://www.alternet.org/2014/07/10-supreme-court-rulings-turned-corporations-people/

These banks - especially J.P. Morgan are globalist enterprises whose objective is ultimately a global government ruled by an uber-wealthy elite.

Think of the European Union. It started with the European Economic Community and then morphed into the socialist political enterprise known as the European Union.

Think about how this country was getting shaken down with NAFTA and GATT.

Even if Trump wins or is able to counterattack, the number of enemies who need to be destroyed, from oligarchs on Wall Street or Tech, to the vast intelligence apparatus and deep state - is so deep, America will unavoidably undergo wrenching changes.

This just isn’t about Trump, these are warnings to anyone who might help him investigate election fraud once he’s a private citizen again.

They know he has the means to hire first rate auditors to go to the states and investigate the ballots and voter rolls. These moves are to tell these firms that if they help Trump, they will be cancelled.

So who is immune from cancellation? I propose Swiss banking auditors. They hold the wealth (and secrets) of the world’s richest people. If the Leftists attacked them, those firms have a lot of information they could let out, which helps protect them.

A crowdfunded initiative to hire one of them to perform forensic audits in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia might be a worthwhile endeavor. What’s a good crowdfunding site that will work with conservatives?

We should have put Accounting Firms in charge of elections years ago.

No legal basis for freezing donations.
Won’t hold up in court.

_____________________________________________

But the very fact that these institutions would try to do it (especially to an entity that is so intimately connected to free political speech and - lets not forget this - a politician in particular, should also enrage the political class.

If I’m a politician and a bank has the audacity to freeze the assets of a PACs broadly that support me, I’m going after them with a vengeance.

Wife: “I have been told our credit cards are canceled and I can’t even use our checking or savings accounts until their review is over.”

Lenders and Wall Street: Keep our money rolling in, Mr. Banker, or you’ll be selling apples on a street corner.

Political donations from Wall Street banks should be illegal anyway.

At one time, JP Morgan was begging Soros to be their CEO.
