Here’s What Economist, former Governor of the Bank of Canada AND the Bank of England, plus the current Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney said about these tariffs
Oh Jesus so 3 pussies unite…. You know why? Their constituents dumbass conservative imbeciles HAVE FINALLY HAD the light bulb moment of voting against their own self interest. Christ on a Cracker…how did these people get so stupid?
Golly, if only there was a way to check Trump by some parliamentary body full of elected patriots. Like a Congress. Maybe they could draft articles of impeachment and list his outrages and lawless fiats instead of offer up some operatic after-the-fact measures likely to be DOA. If only....
The extent to which Susan Collin’s purple district - particularly the redder, poorer, rural inland side away from the progressive coast and tourism - relies on Canadian lumber is not something she want to endanger.
Also, first in a long time, Maine Dems are primary-ing her here.
Feel for Heard Island and McDonald Island, Australian territory near Antarctica. According to the US, they compete in 'machinery and electrical goods'
These islands are uninhabited ice covered and only home to penguins.
Wow! Clever penguins
That is the point. The key here is to get them on record of either blocking the vote, or voting it down. Either way, ammunition for the mid-term Ads: "you know those last two years, xxx and Mike Johnson worked to ensure your misery".
This exactly this. Johnson is Trumps lapdog and he will allow nothing reasonable to get through the house. Even if senate GOP actually starts to wake up, the house is led by Trump sycophants. It’s so very sad.
This move is quite a symbolic loss for Trump; three Republicans bucking Trump is yet another blemish on Trump's reputation and the control he has over the GOP.

I'm not the only one of this opinion. Billions in losses because we glared back and took our business elsewhere is why the Senate moved. The Senate moving isn't going to move us. Canadian relations are damaged forever. This will leave a scar.
"Sevaral" is a start, but it's not nearly enough. Hopefully, those "several" will continue to vote to stop the despot's speedy descent into madness. However . . . my guess is this was an anomaly.
The Dem party has 3 big problems right now:
1. The people in charge of messaging and strategy don't know what they're doing;
2. Despite the evidence, those people are never going to admit this, or leave voluntarily;
3. The far left has power to push change, but they also have a losing message.
But in the House, as per Johnson, it’s only TODAY until next year, so no days can pass that would legally force a vote on ANYTHING the Dems accomplish in the Senate. He’s “stopped time.” So the “economic emergency” can NEVER be revoked.
American allies should charge billions for American bases, systems and military personnel on our shores. America is an enemy within who wants to make a state out of every country in the alliance. Maybe the world could put a tariff on American arrogance.
Congress needs to rescind them all. Trump is not in his right mind. When the stock market burns tomorrow, maybe those Republicans in Congress will finally feel the heat and take action.
It passed in the Senate 51-48. Sadly, House Republicans are blocking the resolution, preventing Congress from removing Trump’s emergency powers regarding the economy.
You OWN this Republicans!
If this latest stupidity isn’t worthy of the State National Guards taking over the US Executive Branch then nothing is. Constitutional Scholars, ASSEMBLE!
We must thank those Republicans and Democrats that are finally acting in the best interests of the people that elected them and the country as a whole by blocking these tariffs.
First time I've mentioned the R party in a compliment, but these are crazy times!
Some republicans are growing spines and brains.
You just cannot gut the federal work force, cut the healthcare, education and food programs for the people and INCREASE the tariffs to tank the economy and tell people in a year or so things will get better for you???? Republicans wake up and stop it
