At this point, why do they even care about laundering money? No one is enforcing laws against them as it is.
Because (in theory) a not-so-corruptable administration/Congress could come into power again and start enforcing the rules.
As long as it was legal when they did it, even if the law changes to make their actions now illegal we can’t do anything. The law would have to be found unconstitutional.
It is not permanent you ridiculous headline writer. An admin does not have that power. Jesus.
Just like no child left behind, the patriot act, citizens united, and fucking all of reagonomics wasn’t permanent right?
Honest question, in what time frame do you expect this law to change back?
5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
The future in which this law changes back is fully dependant on the US not becoming more fascist. Yet here we are now, basically the same spot as Russia post collapse of communism, all excellerated by the other policies I mentioned that are technically not permanent yet have pushed us into this spot over the last 50 years.
You want to act like this isn’t permanent? Give me a single plausible way this law can change back in the next 5 years, as electing a non-fascist no longer gaurantees they’ll even take office post J6. That is the reality we’ve living in, regardless of this headline being click bait. It’s factually, and realistically accurate based on the absolutley abysmal potential futures in front of us.
this law
An executive order is not a law. It will be reversed when the next guy sits in the chair. The Patriot act is a law. No child left behind, a law. Laws are passed by congress, not the executive. This isn’t permanent until congress makes it a law.
It will be reversed when the next guy sits in the chair.
It will be reversed IF a next guy sits in the chair.
For now, with congress cucked, executive orders are basically as good as laws.
Your argument would be believable if we weren’t in an active war with Iraq as triggered entirely by executive order instead of congress.
If there is no next guy, this is the new norm.
J6 happened last time, this time they have 22,000 ICE agents under Trumps thumb.
If you want me to believe there will be another guy after Trump, you’re going to need to convince me there is even a single believable non-violent way that can happen despite the above.
Wanting to believe things will magically change back to normal is not enough. It wasn’t enough to change actual laws like citizens united, and it won’t be enough to change this behaviour back now that there’s a well paid army of ICE to prevent it, and a private oligarchy that benefits from it more than the norm we’ve left.
And in that norm, yeah, I agree, executive orders aren’t laws. But that’s not the way it works now, nor is there any believable way that we get back to it peacefully.
YESSSSS FUCK, THE, MEXICAN MAFIA.
