   Imagine introducing an act so horrendous (seizing assets from innocent people to fund Ukraine war) that the left and right fringes unite in voting against it.

     @PraxisOfEvil I got no skin in the Uke/Russ game.
     I do definitely see is that they're only beginning to tap the kegg of asset seizures and all around fuckery. Worldwide.

     @PraxisOfEvil @matty I would be surprised if they are even bothering buying concrete goods
     I would expect it to go to some "Ukrainian" financial organ with a cut going to their government before being passed back to US miltec companies, with another cut going back to our polticians

     @Paultron @matty Yeah you can't take anything at face value when it comes to these bills or anything the gov't does for Ukrainian "interests". It's essentially just a money laundering operation disguised as a proxy war.

     @PraxisOfEvil @matty trying to grab rich Russian's assets
     
     Not that I care how these parasites steal from each other, it is amusing how our wealthy think they'll get away with this rather than pushing those assets back within Putin's reach. Not only are our elite psychotic they no longer have the intelligence or judgement to back it up

     @Paultron @matty Seizing and selling a yacht owned by a Putin crony to buy a handful of weapons for Ukrainians who're currently getting blown apart in Kherson...makes sense to me.

     @matty This is what I found on congress.gov
     
     "This bill establishes a working group to determine the legal mechanisms that may be used to seize assets belonging to certain foreign persons (i.e., individuals and entities) affiliated with Russia's political leadership and addresses related issues.
     
     The interagency working group must determine the constitutional mechanisms by which the President may take steps to seize and confiscate assets belonging to any sanctioned foreign person whose wealth is derived through support for or corruption related to the regime of Russian president Vladimir Putin. The working group must report to Congress on certain issues including (1) recommendations to impose additional energy-related sanctions on Russia's government, and (2) any additional authorities the President needs to take steps to seize and confiscate the assets.
     
     The President must report to Congress a determination as to whether to expand existing sanctions related to certain Russian government activities to cover additional persons."
     
     TL;DR If you support Putin your property is up for grabs
