What's more important is Republican support for the PREMISE (arguably, falsely) justifying the imposition of tariffs through executive order. If invoking a "national security emergency" is entirely arbitrary and not based on objectively sound grounds, this confers almost absolute discretion on Trump

blue4peace.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well of course they did!

erikaj88.bsky.social•14 hours ago

At This rate we will never make it to midterms that’s their goal is to break down society and eliminate voting they’re already trying to eliminate Congress

If you have a Republican leader, CALL THEM now. Tell them you are watching.

bakingfool.bsky.social•1 day ago

All of these Republicans are complicit in the harm these tariffs have imposed.

@whitehouse.senate.gov I just read that if you had shown up for the vote - It could have passed. Come see me for Pie on Gaspee day.

The GOP are no longer Americans!... They are Scheisters, Grifters, Anarchists, Racists & Fascists!

This is who you elected, Maggots!... Assholes who only give a damn about THEMSELVES -- NOT You or your Family! ... WAKE UP, People!... WAKE the Fuck Up! 😡😡😡

zensoul.bsky.social•1 day ago

The GOP really has no ability to read the room, does it? Maybe they think with all their voter suppression tactics and gerrymandering it won’t make a difference.

m4a1960.bsky.social•1 day ago

They own 2017 to 2020 to now disasters !

poppins1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Begs the question - what is wrong with the republicans? They have lost their collective minds, are morally bankrupt, lack integrity, and have no backbone at all. They have chosen to do the wrong thing repeatedly, given up legislative power and embraced fascism! Vote them out!

ezlove.bsky.social•1 day ago

They own everything … for years.

cheers464646.bsky.social•1 day ago

But Paul had the votes? Does Mitch hate him that much? Why did they put this up for a vote while Whitehouse was out of the country?

tbas7000.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is that what happened? Whitehouse was out of the country, or it would have passed? Fuck.

cheers464646.bsky.social•1 day ago

Mitch probably would have voted if whitehouse was there. How much does Mitch hate Rand that ge tanked his bill?

Precisely what I keep wondering. Perhaps I'm naive, but why cede legislative-branch power at every opportunity?

holymysteriousdog.bsky.social•1 day ago

They’re just foolishly stubborn & believe they are ‘winning’

resistprevail.bsky.social•1 day ago

You're right. Still, they're there because they wanted some power (individually, I mean). Now, they're giving (selling?) it away.

nursegenius1019.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because they do not value the People. Unless you have lots of money. They represent themselves

stallfortime.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did democrats vote to help them do this? Did they need 60. Which dems voted with them because they should be primaried. I will be donating everything to @davidhogg.bsky.social until we get rid of people who help Republicans enslave us.

nicocoer.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think you are a little confused. The democrats put forward a bill- along with some GOPers!- to end trump’s tariffs and return those powers to congress. While they got a number of GOPers to join them, this effort didn’t reach a 60 vote threshold. It’s not a matter of any Dems voting for tariffs.

stallfortime.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you. This is good then. I did read it incorrectly. I'm always in the mood to panic since Trump came back and I really do blame my own party. I barely recognize the party I literally grew up in.

So randy paul rand promised he'd have the needed republican support to block the increasing economic ruin of the US.

So now we know rand is a liar too.

As well as the two or three republican lying Senators who promised rand that they'd support it and didn't even show up to vote.

Red States.

Reading your post clarified something in my head. Trump will manipulate the market the other way in time for the midterms. He will make our 401K do great to help the Republics get re-elected. Dems will need to be prepared to combat that messaging. They won’t be of course but I can dream!

Going to get a lot worse.
