Trump’s Iowa Faith Leader Coalition includes bigots, advocate of killing Obama rawstory.com/raw-investigate…

BREAKING: President Biden reminds the entire world what real leadership looks by signing an executive order to implement punishing new sanctions on financial institutions that aid Vladimir Putin's Russia. This is a power move against Russian aggression and MAGA fascism... The order will allow the U.S. to place sanctions on institutions that help Russia secure equipment and goods necessary for its war efforts. Sanctioned banks will be locked out of the American financial system. "This announcement makes clear that those financing and facilitating the transactions of goods that end up on the battlefield will face severe consequences," said Deputy US Treasury secretary Wally Adeyem. Republicans have been actively sabotaging Biden's efforts to bolster the brave Ukrainian forces fighting Putin's invasion — but they are powerless to stop these sanctions. The institutions being targeted are those which have been helping Russia to circumvent existing sanctions. This new effort is part of a broader American plan to crush sanctions evasion and will also give Biden the power to ban products originating in Russia but processed in third countries. Seafood and diamonds are two commodities included on the list. "Today we are taking steps to level new and powerful tools against Russia’s war machine," said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said. "And we will not hesitate to use the new tools provided by this authority to take decisive and surgical action against financial institutions that facilitate the supply of Russia’s war machine.” This is what American leadership on the global stage looks like. Donald Trump would NEVER sign something like this and in fact would work to further empower Putin and his bloodthirsty agenda.

🚨NEW: Lordy, there are more Trump tapes. Donald Trump personally pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to recordings reviewed by The Detroit News reports. On a Nov. 17, 2020, phone call, which also involved Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump told Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two GOP Wayne County canvassers, they'd look "terrible" if they signed the documents after they first voted in opposition and then later in the same meeting voted to approve certification of the county’s election results, according to the recordings.
