do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

📌Watched "Rustin" again last night for some much-needed inspiration.

📌The time is coming soon for another peaceful march on Washington the likes of which has never been seen before to unify the forces for good, and drown out the evil.

📌This MUST happen, and I will use my platform to support it 💯

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices.

How does this help working people?

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

I’m still shocked to see how many people are only now discovering they’re being incessantly lied to about Trump. Which is why we keep analyzing the Press, and calling them out at a constant. Especially now, since they’ve bowed down to Donald.

As I explained in my post about birthright citizenship, Native Americans do not derive their citizenship from the 14th Amendment but from the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.

So this question has literally been asking and answered but Trump knows nothing about the nonwhite history of the country.
Trump attorneys’ call into question U.S. citizenship for Native people. They state because Indians “owe ‘immediate allegiance’ to their tribes, they are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are not constitutionally entitled to Citizenship.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...
