https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-08/u-s-sanctions-18-iranian-banks-in-move-to-choke-off-economy The new sanctions were revealed in a web posting by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. They had been telegraphed in advance by U.S. officials, who have been weighing the move for weeks. “Today’s action to identify the financial sector and sanction eighteen major Iranian banks reflects our commitment to stop illicit access to U.S. dollars,” said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in a statement. “Our sanctions programs will continue until Iran stops its support of terrorist activities and ends its nuclear programs.”... The move all but severs Iran from the global financial system, slashing the few remaining legal links it has and making it more dependent on informal or illicit trade. The country’s economy has already been crushed by the loss of oil sales and most other trade thanks to existing American restrictions imposed after Trump quit the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. I can only imagine what it would be like if our already devastated economy were being strangled by outside pressure as well. | ||

PERFORMANCE POLICIES 538 has their post debate polling done. Overall Harris was better than Pence, but realistically, not much of a voting difference is expected. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/harris-pence-vp-debate-poll/ | ||

How can you lack self respect enough to support such a clown? It's insane. He also said that he "is extremely young" in the same sentence - so he's obviously joking. But, sure, even joking in that way is not very dignified for president. | ||

Terrorist definition: a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. Example: Breivik's goal in Norway were never to instill fear. His goal were to change the political and judicial system through violence. | ||

You could argue that both Breivik and this Michigan group do have the goal to instill fear. Specifically instill fear in the politicians that go against their goals. | ||

We are past policy and partisanship there, it's just pathetic. Perhaps not necessarily the politics, ideology and cohort he represents (although I still think so) but to actually support a Trump the man and candidate I mean, it’s so ridiculous as to be unfathomable for me. Which of course will be parsed into some comment about Euros or the liberal SJW elite or whatever but I very much stand by it. I wouldn’t want the guy to be my line manager at work and frankly I think he would fail in that job as at a low level people would just call him on his shit. With the office of the Presidency he’s afforded all sorts of wriggle room he frankly does not merit | ||

She's supposed to be responsible for a violent, organized group of White Far-Right terrorists attempting a violent coup in her state. Let's just say we know why the fly was so keen to hang out with Pence last night. | ||
