they wont. they want us all to starve. this is how they weed out those they believe to be weak. but then again its also how civil wars have started. starve enough people and they revolt which usually ends up with the person in charge head on a pike
Make sure your GOP Representatives know this. Burn down their phone lines and flood their in boxes letting them know exactly how you feel about your budgets having lighter fluid and a match taken to it.
They won't. But they could. Tariffs are an enumerated power of Congress which they can take away with legislation which can be passed over a presidential veto.
I am aware of that. It could be undone with another rule and would not affect a law rescinding delegated tariff setting powers or altering the imposed tariffs directly.
And btw the rule was for bringing the CR to the floor not part of the CR so Schumer letting it through had no bearing on it. The rule had already passed.
When he tanks the markets even more, and all the promises he made Americans turn out to be huge, impactful lies, he’ll blame Biden and maybe the Senate will finally do its job. But who knows?
Unfortunately a veto proof majority needed so it's not one of those "assemble the Dems and recruit a few swing district R's" kind of things. But the point is taken - Congress could undo it if they wanted to, and because they (the GOP) don't, they (the GOP) own it.
Republicans you mean...Dems have been too passive BUT the Republicans have the majority in both houses - THEY could do something to stop this! But they won't because the Republican congress sold their souls to Trump and when he says to jump they say "how high?" They will do nothing!
Constitution Art I, sec 8. Call your Rep tomorrow and ask if they are aware and what they plan to do about it. Request an answer in writing. Ask if she/he agrees with T's agenda, and BTW, what about *representing* people in the district?
But it doesn't. Mike Johnson made the Earth stop rotating for the next nine months so it's one long day (although I'm not sure how that prevents them from passing laws. Look at all the extra time they'll have without all those nights to sleep through!)
The Senate did by saying the economy wasn't in an emergency. This takes away those powers Trump's been using to ruin our economy. Now we need the House to do the same. Johnson won't. They need to find away around him.
Congress should do their fucking job and put the good of the American people over their creepy need to please Trump. They are the federal employees that deserve to lose their jobs for doing NOTHING.
The only useful sentence from Ron Johnson’s tone deaf NPR interview was “Congress has willingly given much of its power to the president and he’s using it.”
The tragedy of it all is that it all could have been prevented years ago if only our elected representatives actually gave a crap about anything they said they did.
But that would give lie to the claim that Trump is doing this and Congress can’t really stop him or is too afraid to. That way, he can do all this nasty, illegal stuff the Republicans in Congress really support, and they don’t have to look bad by actually voting for it.
This crash may be the only way to rid the US of this infestation. The next drops will continue to add pressure on the magats in congress. It will be like dominoes. Tuesdays Florida’s elections showed how vulnerable they are, +30% margin in Nov down to +14% in April. 60 magat districts now in play.
I’m still pissed as Florida dumbasses didn’t flip those two seats how fucking dumb were they? The trouble is with fucking dumb they screw the rest of us.
The Hill believes that almost half of Americans, who comprise a majority in about half of the States and their congressional districts, approve of Trump and his Administration.
He, and “all this”, is not terribly unpopular. And, there’s no consensus from the Opposition other than No.
This is why the rest of the world is more forcefully rethinking alliances and trade partners. This isn't Trump. There are plenty of reasons to think this doesn't end. Ever.
Canada has finally figured that out. New trading partners are in the works. The breakup is real. America wants to go it alone…so be it.
The friendly neighbour to the north is not SORRY.
One of the coolest things about the Framers' system is that we have two legislatures so that if one of them ever gets any crazy idea about doing something good for the nation, the other one can just shut it right down.
Unfortunately Congress is currently over-populated by a bunch of cowardly cult followers who can't see past their own personal ambitions and anger towards the world. 🤦
The Lying King says tariffs are good for the economy!
But what he is doing is illegal that’s the homily!
The stock market is plummeting thanks to him!
The only one making money is Muskrat, The Lying King and their friends!
Congress is completely culpable if they do not undo this.
It's not enough any Congress member says they personally don't like tariffs or thought they were too big. Tariffs are a power of Congress only delegated to the executive under Congressionally defined circumstances.
Unfortunately they've backed themselves into a corner where inaction is the best path, so this will go on. If they suddenly spring into action it will highlight the previous lack of inaction and they will get dragged, too, when Trump's reputation inevitably suffers. So they will hide instead.
Impeach. Convict. Drag him out of our White House. Send him to prison. That is precisely what they need to do. Because if the Republicans won’t, their days are numbered. FOTUS will shut Congress down. Believe it!
They will......eventually.
I have no idea when, or how long reparation will take or cost, but the American spirit will eventually prevail.
The negativity of McCarthyism failed. So too, will Trump's.
The Donald, and his MAGA monkeys, simply fails to truthfully comprehend history.
They started by passing a bipartisan bill in the House to halt tariffs affecting Canada. Now to pass Senate hopefully. Trump says he won’t sign it but anyone may use a sharpie.
Not the lap dog MAGA GOP Congress. But I bet you the second a Democrat is back in the Whitehouse, they will immediately be up in arms. Hypocrisy is dead.
Nope orange king that was voted in has house and senate brought by voters. Now after years of planning,2025 they are well ahead. Best bet is to curb 2028 although the orange king said...well more
..ugh
Pray and get out an vote.
Or the courts! There’s no “unusual and extraordinary threat...to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States.” Courts don’t have to take him at his word!
Don't see too much non-GOP rocking the boat/risking much. I see many voices on BS & in my community that would be more courageous & effective than the sofities in CONG now. Booker & others are exceptions, not the norm, yet.
BUT, they let us get here, & even Booker waited 50+ days to finally act up.
Trump can only do these tariffs because he declared a national emergency. Congress can override that national emergency. There is a bill in the senate to do just that.
Proposition: the cost of reversal increases exponentially with time

PSYCHOPATHS Putin’s/Trump’s/Eloon’s MAGAs are a redux of PSYCHOPATH Hitler’s Nazis = psychopaths (1 in 25 persons in the general population) & their psychotic human pets.
The free world—not in denial/delusion, as are an abundance of Americans—will continue to protect itself from NAZI/MAGA America.
PSYCHOPATH Trump (KGB codename since 1987: Krasnov) has been PSYCHOPATH Putin’s bootlicker for decades.
Trapped w/in the behavior patterns of their disorder, WORLD DOMINATION/ENSLAVEMENT is the agenda as *RUSSIA’S Republicans*—also cultivated over decades—destroy America/Americans to pave the way.
yep, it requires a joint resolution of Congress and is subject to a veto (provisions attempting to bypass that requirement were ruled unconstitutional, so the National Emergencies Act requires a joint resolution)

They could get rid of Trump as well.
Guess mine & millions of other " libtarded" and "Rino" brains just doesn't get how this good.
They must be so proud.

Americans made their choice as to which one that is.
If around half weren't so cravenly willingly to surrender the co-equal branch of government they swore a FUCKING oath to defend.
Pardon my french - some asshole Tariffed my profanity filter supplier from the DRC

IF we really had a truly functioning Congress; Trump would be impeached, DOGE dissolved & every EO Trump the Felon signed, tore up!
IF only we could get all of Congress on the same page.
The friendly neighbour to the north is not SORRY.
our federal government is Humpty Dumpty and Canada isn't gonna trust us for fucking decades
there's massive damage if we stop the bleeding TOMORROW
Let's use some precision in describing things

They can take it back.
It’s about to get harder.
