JPMorgan and Bank of America ‘debanked’ Trump under pressure from Biden admin over January 6th: Sources

Because of course they did.

"Nice bank you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it," <--- That's the gangster way.

But sources at the banks — the No. 1 and No. 2 largest in the US in terms of assets — confirmed the cause stemmed from the controversy surrounding Trump’s actions that day, and threats from Biden’s bank regulators that banking the former president’s money put them at in danger of falling afoul of rule that prohibit financial institution from doing business with individuals and companies that present a “reputational risk.”

People at the banks tell The Post that Biden’s banking cops at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve often used the nebulous nature of the edict to go beyond debanking money launderers and drug kingpins.

They were pressured to include people who have heterodox political and business ties that often included conservatives and anyone who participated in the January 6 protests.


Because that's how thugs and fascists roll.

Dope1: "Nice bank you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it," <--- That's the gangster way.

Umm, c'mon. You're describing the Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile's playbook.

For example:

On July 18, 2019, the Trump administration withheld $250 million of military aid to Ukraine. Seven days later, Trump held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he asked Zelensky to work with Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Attorney General William Barr to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Trump threatened Georgia officials when he was looking for 11,780 votes: "The ballots are corrupt, which is totally illegal," Trump said. "It's more illegal for you than it is for them, because you know what they did and you're not reporting it. That's a criminal offense, and you can't let that happen. That's a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer."

Trump threatened Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman along with her daughter and co-worker Wandrea “Shaye” Moss with legal action and falsely claimed the two women, who are Black, opened “suitcases” full of phony ballots to rig the vote count in predominantly Black Fulton County.

Trump has threatened legal action against Harris, Clinton, Obama, Biden, Clapper, Brennan, Schiff, McCabe, Comey and an endless list of others in government and private industry.

C'mon, seriously, WTF is wrong with you? You're defending the most corrupt POS to ever set foot in the White House, a man who has been found liable for sexual assault, found guilty of 34 felony counts of business fraud, has fantasized publicly about f*cking his own daughter, and buried his first (immigrant) wife on a poorly maintained shitty spot of land on his own golf course.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you people?

You manage to get everything ass-backwards.

This is Trump sticking his stubby little fingers where they don't belong.

White House Preps Order to Punish Banks That Discriminate Against Conservatives

President is expected to sign executive order as soon as this week that targets debanking of businesses including crypto companies

This is also a way for Trump to put the screws on any bank that displeases him for any reason. Similar to the way he blackmailed legal firms that worked against him in the past, Trump could order regulators to investigate potential violations of credit, antitrust, and consumer protection laws by financial institutions unless they paid him off or otherwise acted against their own risk evaluations. Just the threat of an investigation would put immense pressure on a bank.

But sure, just spin away little Dopey.

Why does MAGA call everyone they disagree with fascists?

So sad...

"They want to destroy our Second Amendment, attack the right to life, and replace American freedom with left-wing fascism. Fascists, they are fascists!" ~Trump

"Harris, she’s a fascist, okay? She’s a fascist." ~Trump

Kind of amusing that, by that criteria, antifa would just be 'fa?'
..not anti fa

I know it's a definition thing, but only the right-wing can be "fascist". I think he meant "authoritarian". Either left or right can be authoritarian. But "fascist" is associated with some specific traits more common on the right-wing.

I know you know this. Just posting in case someone (present or future) doesn't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement...

Hitchens maintained that you could interchange extreme forms of Catholicism with "fascism", and not have to change anything else. He often pointed out that the fascist leader of Slovakia was an actual Catholic priest (Tiso).
