Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing banks to collect citizenship data

I think that’s the idea. Many people do not seem to accept it but our government is compromised and I don’t mean in the “f*** the man” kinda way.

He was one of the architects of the British pounds failure back in the day. Destruction, devastation, and corruption appear to be his specialties. Ohh and he is a literal Soros money manager, you know GOP boogeyman of legend.

Trump dumped Covid recovery on US banks - EIDL and PPP were money dumps (hooray!) but were also administrative nightmares. I’d guess Trumps on a short lease with banks. They’re not going to agree with him shutting down their flow.

They didn’t say they thought it through. You’re expecting competence from the Trump administration.

I can't imagine a government sending a minority population to camps and then seizing all of their valuables. Nope never happened

The grift that keeps on ~~giving~~ taking  

That’s just the beginning. They will seize funds of anyone that stands up to them.

Hey, don't worry. The banks will get refunds.

Caribbean banking it is!

You don't need to be a citizen to get a SSN. Green card holders and people here on a work visa need them to work. But the point stands, that if you have a SSN, you are already approved to be here.

They're selling the data they don't have is what they want.

Those aren’t proof of citizenship. You can have a SSN and be a noncitizen, a permanent resident, or on a variety of visa statuses. This is adding a call for birth certificates (the draft EO says RealID will not count) or passports. It will cost millions just to do all that paperwork! But totally agree that Iti is playing to the base here, but will also be used as another way to police migrants, track everyone, and make things worse. It will drive an undocumented migrants into cash economies and make it harder for them to pay taxes. And it could make a lot of foreign nationals, who do lots of banking in the US, leave.

Lots of stretching so you can bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.

It's pretty wild that they forced realid and then said no, it's not good enough

The Japanese want their system to work. The Trumpletons want their system to fail. That's the difference.

You don't think Japan will use it as a repressive measure? That's interesting, since they have been doing so for many years in Japan. Once your visa expires, they want everything to stop working for you. No food. No housing. No work. No money. No credit card. But you can choose to self-deport at any time. Don't think that immigrants are not killed in Japan. There are cases where people who are challenging their own deportation are treated inhumanely and denied care, ultimately dying. They have been and they will continue to be killed by Japanese immigration authorities.

This is a big one. It won't just stop at non-citizens. Eventually, it will be twisted, expanded, and used to punish any citizen who doesn't toe the line. Think about it: Are you a citizen but just don't have a passport? And the government makes it impossible to get one? Are you a citizen but used to not be? Are you a citizen but have non-citizen family members or friends? Are you a citizen by birth, but your parents aren't? Are you a dual citizen of a country the government doesn't like? Are you a US citizen that hypothetically could be a dual citizen but just never looked into it officially? Are you a citizen but in a political party or attended a protest or said something online the government considers "terrorist activity"? Etc. etc.

Theyll just keep increasing taxes on regular citizens. What do you think the point of tariffs are?

The subscription model has worked so well for them that the plan is to eliminate ownership by any other class than their own. Everyone is slowly being pushed into economic slavery/serfdom through stagnant wages, social media addiction, renting, leasing and subscriptions. Wake up and fight back!

It pretty much is. When people get desperate they tend to turn toward two broad roads of populism. A) blame the elite, the rich, the ruling class for the scarcity. This is left leaning populism. B)blame minorities and the “useless” and say once they are gone there will be plenty for everyone. This is rightwing populism. Fascism.

He only has to be a yes man and say his lines on camera. He’s basically a DEi hire.

He doesn’t have plan or agenda for everything he does. He’s a senile idiot who is being used by those smarter than him to fulfill their whims. Also, because he’s a senile narcissistic old f***, he lashes out at everything that makes him not happy. He reacts and does not plan. He is cajoled towards a goal by Beter Bee-El and other billionaires, but he’s senile.

so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. -Revelation 13

He made his bones working for soros. He's not dumb. He's going for plausible deniability. 

What is it, six companies passing around the same fifteen billion or so, with the entire rest of the market side-eyeing the nearest chair and listening to the music?

It’s mostly running on health care taxes we pay to investment banks.

We all live in one big work camp.

My brother is convinced that it's immigrants buying up all the houses, not the tons of private companies that then rent them out.

Whatever they say it is that disenfranchises people the way they desire. Make it easier for who they want and harder for those they don’t.

I mean what does a birth certificate prove? Pretty sure when I ordered an official copy of mine online I didn't require any documents to get it, just had to check a box saying that it was my own certificate I was ordering. It also lacks a picture of me. Also if Trump has his way not everyone born in America will be citizens. Therefore the birth certificate could no longer be used to absolutely prove you are a citizen.

Good thing you are not poor who might not have the time or funds to get this sorted. Almost like its by design.

Real ID is largely in place because it pushed for so heavily specifically by the same fascists too. Just goes to show that appeasing them by siding with them on anything will never be sufficient. Something that the old guard Democrats refuse to understand.

If everyone is required to get a passport, I don't expect this government to adequately step up and hire the staff needed for the massive increase in demand.

A shoe company’s stock shot up 600% today when they announced they were pivoting to A.I. Everything’s going great /s
