Fifteen Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure.
Imagine hating Muslims so much that you give your political opponents the tools to suppress you.

imagine thinking the democrats and the republicans are political opponents
Death to America
Democrats don’t think they are, Republicans definitely do. When Trump and his lackeys call democrats radical communists I don’t think they’re bullshitting, I think they absolutely believe it, and generic democrats are absolutely on the chopping block and it’s crazy they don’t recognize it
Democrats are incapable of understanding that republicans don’t want to play west wing with them
Let's take over the DNC and kick these Republicans out

TX and FL making sure to be included, as expected.
Fuck DWS... I had hoped she was dead, but nope, there she is, still fucking things up
Fucking democrats. What was their reasoning?

Funny I was just reading about the Holy Land Foundation yesterday
Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development'), originally known as Occupied Land Fund, was the largest Islamic charity in the United States. Headquartered in Richardson, Texas,[1] and run by Palestinian-Americans.[2] The organization's mission was to "find and implement practical solutions for human suffering through humanitarian programs that impact the lives of the disadvantaged, disinherited, and displaced peoples suffering from man-made and natural disasters."
During the 1990s, American politicians, including Chuck Schumer and Eliot Spitzer,[3][4] alongside the Israeli government[5] and Steve Emerson,[6] lobbied the U.S. government to take action against the Holy Land Foundation.[7] In December 2001, the U.S. designated HLF a terrorist organization, seized its assets, and closed the organization. At the time it was the largest Muslim charitable organisation in the United States
i'm glad terrorism is a term with such a universally understood, concrete definition
This is the kind of stuff you need to shove in the faces of liberals. They claim have to vote blue to stop le evil dictator Trump and yet what does their party do? Go out of their way to give him dictatorship tools. They cannot claim they're anything but slightly nervous and reticent accomplices instead of any kind of resistance to him and therefore voting blue is not resisting, it's just another form of enabling and deluding yourself.
This is doing the "look how unscientific your beliefs are" that libs do to republicans except from the left to libs. It doesn't land and never will on account of you do not share the same axioms
It does land, a lot. Hence why there are millions of disaffected Democrats who no longer identify as Democrats
11 million people didn't vote for the dems, I think it lands sometimes
ya, DID NOT VOTE is the perpetual GOAT, there aren’t as many ideologically committed liberals as people sometimes imagine. A great many people are vaguely liberal by osmosis but in no way engaged or invested in it
Only the house passed it. Definitely wait for the Senate to pass it to avoid looking like a crank.
Of fucking course Debbie Wasserman Schultz voted for it
Was almost sure this would pass, it did
hopefully groups like the ACLU can minimize the damage so every group that protests isn't immediately regarded as a terrorist group, Democrats doing a fantastic job of making me somehow even less likely to vote next time around
ACLU? Believe it or not, terrorist organization
Is this going to be for "Trump's political opponents" or are groups like PYM going to be classified as terrorists?
yes
You can only be a terrorist if you are a for profit organization, the true American way
I'd argue its an act of terrorism to donate to either major American political party.
as if OFAC isnt already a thing
