DemonRats are anti-humanity. Across the board their policies are destructive to civilization.

If you still do business with BOA you need to re-evaluate.
They are awful with issues concerning liberty.

Sounds like all the Banks involved in the Deep State Central Banking and money manipulation scheme that needs to fall.

Clearly the Democrats are calling on their co-conspirators to block this and punish us with their Climate Change non sense

Bet they are deeply enmeshed in the Carbon Credits scam as well

Interesting

“That’s not the way things work in the USA.”

Let me fix that ;
That’s not the way things are SUPPOSED to work in the USA.
However it is apparently how they are working now.

I shortened the article to stay within the 300-word limit.
Quoting it:

“The letters were signed by Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.).

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who caucuses with Senate Democrats and is a leading contender for the party’s presidential nomination, also signed the letter.”

Smart move. Most CEOs of large banks are probably personally sympathetic to this, so are their wives. This is an effective end run around legislation.

Politicians pass laws to change things.

These democRATS are strong arming and extorting these banks to get their ideological way.

This is no different than using mob mentality to control the country.

democRATS are sick and disgusting.

Democrats “ask” the way a mugger “asks” for your wallet.

Dems ask the way the mafia asks the store owner” if he needs fire insurance or if he needs a fire.”

#31. Re only 10 names of Dem Senators on the letter to the banks re prohibiting Arctic drilling funding. “Who are the other 5”?

Let me guess - their names are “Whistleblower 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5”. Schiff doesn’t want them exposed for fear of retaliation (by their voters).

Or They Never Existed in the First Place.

A good group of communists/Marxists, closet gay, Senile Leaky Leahy (who should be in jail for leaking classified information to the media); Harris - whore; Schatz & Hironi - batshit crazy - inhaling too much volcanic gases; Gillibrand - a perfect example of the “dumb blond”. Etc.

If banks can do that because they disagree, then bakers and others can also deny services for similar reasons...Dems don’t think it through...

Interesting- a short while after this two of these Democrats [Merkley and Van Hollen] met secretly with an official [John Kerry’s pal Javad Zarif] of the oil producing nation of Iran.
