It will be different soon, the voters will have their say and member’s devotion to Trump will go out the window when their positions and offices are at risk .
And more than their constituents. They are acting as if they will have nothing to answer to.
This move will/is alienating many, many nations that will not return to the US anytime soon.
Let's make it clear. They don't value their relationship with Trump. They value their relationship with their congressional seat which is apparently very comfortable position. But they forgot that Trump is not their employer. Make hay while the sun shines #DoTheRightThing
They view their relationship with Musk’s willingness and ability to donate obscene amounts of money to their reelection campaigns. There’s no honour among evildoers
They are scared shitless of Trump and Musk and losing their cushy jobs! God forbid they actually do something for the people that elected them in the first place !
Sounds like a good reason for #HandsOff constituents to flood GOP House member email and phone lines.
Voters can make it clear that, to get re-elected, representatives must act to terminate Trump's authority to exercise delegated "emergency" tariff powers.
So ture indeed.
As matter of fact, it’s those Fake-republicans who wearing sheep-clothing while dropping blood 🩸 fm their Wicked-crooked wolves mouthes whose Souls-Sold-to-Demons’-highest-bidders by Satan/devil’s strategies …. 😣
Hey @juddlegum.bsky.social is it possible this is a huge grift? Tank stock prices, billionaires buy everything 4 cheap, claim economy desperately needs tax cuts to pull out of recession, billionaires get massive tax cuts, then claim they’ve negotiated “amazing deals!” & rescind the tariffs?
Space precluded me from adding the "yo-yo-bounce insider trading" aspect. As of today that seems pretty accurate. Who profited with the timing of this? 🤔
What happened to the decency of US politicians? I am sure most privately think he's a total bellend. When the tyranny eventually ends, most come to a sticky end, will they come out of the woodwork and deny complicity? The world is waiting
Elizabeth Warren was talking about this on Lawrence O'Donnell the other day. Congress has control of Tariffs. If the resolution is passed from can't Veto.
It is quite possible
that we have the
worst "elites"
in American history.
Where's the honor
& integrity?
The love of country
& respect for law?
Power-hunger &
money-madness
rule the day.
Lots of bosses
but few leaders.
More like they think they're protecting their jobs ... they're screwed since they didn't act right away. They're losing their jobs either way. No win scenario. Either Trump or the voters will kick them out now. Good riddance.
They might end up like us regular Americans. No job, no home, no benefits, no food, on the table.
Me! Me! Me! And to Hell with everyone else! #GOP #MonstersAndMobsters
For now maybe by the time they have to start campaigning they’ll be saying how they always thought these tariffs were such a bad idea and how unconstitutional sending people off to concentration camps without due process is. The backbone of a cup of piss
Congress doesn't need to impeach him to end tariffs. They just need to pass a law withdrawing the authority they've granted him to impose them. Now, if he's dumb enough to veto, then they need 2/3s to override.
Might this actually force the GOP to attempt to wrest control from the madmen? (I realize this would require something resembling courage, but they might also face murderous constituents if they do nothing.)
Because of the constant trauma he is causing the majority of Americans, people should follow him when he leaves to go golfing every weekend. Hundreds of thousands of people need to descend on all the golf courses. Bring bullhorns, bells, and skunk piss. He should have no relief!!
The majority of Republican seats are so gerrymandered they know they’re better off pleasing their donors rather than their constituents. But 2026 may teach them a big lesson if Congress doesn’t vote to take back their authority over tariffs and revoke the Trump tariffs soon.
They will sell their morals, values and souls to him for nothing. THEY WILL BE DESTROYED IN 2026. If they try to take the vote from the people, all hell will break out.
Beyond tariffs, Republican Congressmen are in dereliction of their duty to provide checks and balances to this administration regarding due process, respect for our laws and legal system, financial grift by those in office etc etc
Republican politicians have been promised their own fiefdoms and told not to worry about getting re-elected because they know and support autocracy/oligarchy/feudalism
the true believers are the ones who refused to hold town halls
I don't think that was a unanimous decision in regards to presidential immunity. We know that Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanagh, and in many cases, Coney Barret, are ideologues that need to be removed. They should be disbarred because they're dangerous.
Come on. They trade on insider trading and short falls. Why do you think savvy traders, with deep pockets, don't want to end tariffs? Give it 24 to 36 hours. 🤦♀️
What would actually happen if, say, 40 house members rose up in defiance of Trump? They would be saving him from himself. They might get pushback/name-called in the beginning, but ultimately, would their position be worse for it?
No it wouldn’t. But you’re forgetting they’ve been brainwashed to fear The Cult. They actually are afraid of being called a stupid name in public by Jim Jones Trump himself.
I think the Senate has already tried to stop some tariffs. But in the House (Johnson) - used a stupid trick change to cede their power to stop tariffs. They did it by declaring that for the purpose of the power to stop the tariffs - they declared that one day was equal to one year.
Proof that democracy can be a fallacy when it has nothing to do about the people but rather the wealthy that help these politicians buy votes. This is a complete corruption of what democracy is supposed to be.
They all know that prior to being tainted, the intelligence community viewed rightwing extremists as the most dangerous in the US so any actions against their leader wouldn’t be taken well.
Amongst the Congress, they internally don't want to betray trump because they're scared of what he might do to them, so we are running a dictatorship government rn.
MOST REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS! We have to STOP saying “Congress.” That’s a lie. The white nationalist party running Congress is responsible for this. Don’t mince words. Don’t deflect blame. Republicans own this. It’s 100% their fault.
The protests were designed for Congressional Republicans, not Trump. If they still don’t act then what are we doing here? Trump & Co. haven’t said a word about the protests because they are just going to ignore them.
I think it's more they value their own perceived power than America. They're afraid of being primaried. So what if they lose reelection? It wouldn't be the end of the world & they'd all probably walk into cushy jobs. Would be nice if they loved America like they claim to & took one for the country.
So accurate it's scary. & the Senate already voted to NOT stop it... let them know... every GOP senator voted NO EXCEPT the Canadian tariffs protected by Rand Paul & Moscow Mitch.
Darryl Issa doesn’t value Trump more than his millions. He told Johnson on the phone this afternoon, thst the Hose GOP caucus needed “ tariff guidance”. The Senate bill to constrain Trump is just sitting there waiting. Don Bacon from Nebraska is hot too.
They value their very generous perks and privileges, free health care, pensions, expenses and red carpet treatment more than the American economy, it's people and, democracy.
They don’t give a damn about their oath - their constituents - their country. They are aiding and abetting and are accomplices to gross criminality and corruption — these acts are acts of treason
When the stock market completely crashes more than likely tomorrow and social security checks fail to come out in May that damn well may happen. The idiot is in the second round of government employee layoffs, now happening in the DOD and many more layoffs in the private sector are coming.

> "most members of Congress"
should be most REPUBLICAN members of Congress
You're usually better at this.

Senate vote last week was a good start.

Congress might try to do something if their donors tell them to. Of course by then, it’ll be too late to reverse the damage that’s already been done.
Most Republicans. C'mon.
Just like every minor Mafia member feels about the boss.

their constituents must hold recall elections
9 of them anyway.
Congress. Come on Juds
This is a golden opportunity for us to rip that corrupt party out of government.
I hope in mid terms Rs lose every seat. They dont deserve to win anyof the seats in play
Trump is not even acting like he cares
Shame on every single one of them.
Do they have to start receiving threats from MAGA to lower the tariffs or else?
They also value their relationship with Trump (or at least, not getting attacked by pro-Trump militia).
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
🇺🇸 Sunday-evening futures for major US indices are plummeting. 🔽
🇯🇵 Japan’s NIKKEI opened down 8%.
Just get your ass ready to protest again.
The fight won't stop until he gets out
