'You lost your mind?' MAGA descends into major freak-out as Trump praises Jesse Jackson

Not all of Donald Trump’s fans agreed with the president’s uncharacteristically gracious response to the death of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson on Tuesday.

Just hours after it was announced Jackson, 84, had passed away peacefully while surrounded by his family, Trump took to his Truth Social account to recall his long time relationship with Jackson in glowing terms, writing in part, “He was a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and ‘street smarts.’ He was very gregarious - Someone who truly loved people!”

He added, “He loved his family greatly, and to them I send my deepest sympathies and condolences. Jesse will be missed!”

That did not sit well with some of the president’s more ardent MAGA supporters, who attacked the late Jackson and criticized the president for not doing the same.

“Well, as much as I love you DJT, I have to disagree with you on this statement. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are 2 of the most predjudice (sic) pieces of s--t on this planet,” wrote KAT 4DJT. “All they did was stir up bull---t so that there was complete total unrest. Those two sons of bitches caused more racial strife than anyone.This guy being gone isn't a bad thing at all. Next is that other piece of garbage Al Sharpton. That a-----e needs to go too. Good riddance to bad rubbish.”

Blue GI also mentioned current MS NOW host Sharpton while writing, “President Trump is being far too gracious regarding Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson was a racist, an adulteror (sic), and stole from charity. He preyed on the misfortunes of his own people for personal aggrandizement. He was a hypocrite and has become a forgettable figure in history. With any luck, the equally despicable and hypocritic Al Sharpton will soon be with Jesse Jackson. The term ‘Reverend’ when used in referring to these men is a misnomer for the term ‘con artist.’"

Noting that Trump recalled providing financial support to Jackson, Merka1st, complained, “I'm tired of all the crap built on race. Giving and giving to a so called special interest group is bulls--t!!”

“Sorry Mr. President, I will not even pretend to think supportively of a man that ran all over our country stirring up Racism with lies and deceit such as he did. Nothing but a grifter out to threaten ANY organization out there that did not pay him a stipend to leave their business alone. NO SIR, not me….” wrote SemperFi.

A commenter going by just “Tommy” –– who reposted Trump’s controversial Obama’s as apes video — took the Jackson tribute really hard and wrote, “HEY TRUMP YOU LOST YOUR MIND???? JESSES JACKSON WAS A RACIST POS! REMEMBER THE TAWANA BRAWLEY CASE????”

“Good man? Lol. Please,” offered Floridian David Kite.

Politicalspitfire raged, “Yet jackson was a racist. And a puppet for jewish democrats. Seriously. Yet you trash rob riener. MTG and massie?????????”

OFAC Designates Two Iranian Finance Facilitators For Crypto Shadow Banking

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned two Iranian financial facilitators for coordinating over $100 million worth of cryptocurrency in oil sales for the Iranian government, a September 16 press release shows. OFAC Sanctions Iranian Nationals According to the Tuesday press release, Iranian nationals Alireza Derakhshan and Arash Estaki Alivand “used a network of front companies in multiple foreign jurisdictions” to transfer the digital assets. OFAC alleges that Alivand and Derakhshan’s transfers also involved the sale of Iranian oil that benefited Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL). IRGC-QF and MODAFL then used the proceeds to support regional proxy terrorist organizations and strengthen their advanced weapons systems, including ballistic missiles. U.S. officials say the move targets shadow banking in the region, where illicit financial actors use overseas money laundering and digital assets to evade sanctions. “Iranian entities rely on shadow banking networks to evade sanctions and move millions through the international financial system,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue to disrupt these key financial streams that fund Iran’s weapons programs and malign activities in the Middle East and beyond,” he continued. Dozens Designated In Shadow Banking Scandal Both Alivand and Derakhshan have been designated “for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of the IRGC-QF.” In addition to Alivand and Derakhshan, OFAC has sanctioned more than a dozen Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates-based entities and individuals tied to the network. According to the press release, the sanctioned entities may face civil or criminal penalties imposed as a result
