First term: death.
Second term: depression (economic and personal).
Third term? What’s left? Locusts? Frogs?
You’re not running for president, you’re summoning plagues.

It a productivity thing, things won’t get mired in the bullshit is exemplified by the American House and Senate these many years. All the while bullshit is top of the agenda!
Speaker Johnson has holds considerable power on what comes to the floor. He is align with Project 2025 and holds his speakership because he will give way to the most extreme members of the House.
It ain't goin' anywhere in the House as GOP have found loophole to enact that "single day session" bullshit which effectively allows holding up any vote to support or not. So it's all theatrics.
i need someone who can really explain who gets to put tariffs in place and why. its usually congress, but the president can if he has emergency powers (usually during military conflict so no aid or comfort is given to enemies). but hey. Putin and the Taliban are apparently on the cheeto's good list
The tariff power belongs to Congress. The House *could* take it back.
Everyone: call your Representative
202-224-3121
Tell them to restore tariff power to Congress and stop this financial suicide!
Call until they do it!
Giving up isn’t an option- I know it’s frustrating. Every call gives them support to do the right thing. We have to work all available levers/channels.
Sending support your way.
It may feel futile, but they count all the calls for these issues, and it does influence them because they ultimately have to face electors eventually.
same. I still have the idiot who voted to overturn the 2020 election. If your Rep did this, they are uncaught criminals. They are traitors to the 14th Amendment and should be in prison.
Even criminals can be made to worry that their constituents (and donors) will throw them out. Calling can remind them that they do, in fact, work for you.
I call the WH, Speaker, news stations, Schumer and others. I don't bother with the moron who voted to overturn the election as that act alone proves his obedience to the orange a$$. He is already guilty of sedition and I have nothing to say to him. In case you're wondering, that would be Diaz-Balart
I call and write 7 days a week. I choose just one topic a day I remain calm. And with each time I remind them I vote every election and will do everything within my power to make sure it's there last term if necessary
They can’t, their constituents are pissed and making them 💯
More fucked up because they’re constituents voted for them and they’re just doing it because it’s gonna hurt their pocket. Don’t give a fuck about any other state but their own.
They are too dense to realize that all the states are connected to the federal government and what they do affects all other states as well. That’s why they want to cut public education keep them sick, dumb, and broke.
The fact that a POTUS shared a video that states he wants to crash markets should get these senators mobilized to protect the people they were meant to......... corporations
House Mouse Johnson—Doesn’t Want To “Hold Congress Vote” Bc. Too Many GOPs Refuse To Support CRASHING ECONOMY-For Trump! No Vote -No Chance To Save Economy From Trump Created Recession!!
Republicans would rather watch the global economy implode under the weight of the Trump administration’s hubris than be the subject of one of his mean 3:00am Twitter rants. They deserve to be largely politically irrelevant in Congress for another 60 years just like after the Great Depression.
Yep. Ever since the meeting in Helsinki where Putin showed him a list of all the dirt they had on him and all our politicians. Trump came home and informed them all to toe the line or else! Just look at Trump's body language when he came out of that meeting!
Idk man, crazy idea but what if they’re like mostly fine with it. We really have to release this idea that he’s holding people hostage, plenty of them have and will continue to go along willingly. Hold them accountable.
I think some of them are that reckless and would follow Trump as his nuts teeter-tottered from their chins, but I think the rest of them are being treated and/or blackmailed. 🤷♂️
If they weren’t all so corrupt there wouldn’t be much blackmail about, would there? Again, hold them accountable. Stop giving these people outs for being corrupt cowards.
In the Senate it may be 5, house it’s 3. The damn veto is the killer part. But maybe after today’s bloodbath, it could get more on the second go around
The declaration of a national emergency solely to usurp Congresses powers, is what needs to be addressed. This was an illegal power grab and the results have been economic devastation.
I think we’ve finally reached the point where millions of Americans are getting concerned enough to demand their Republican representatives start working for their constituents or resign.
I'd be interested in your ideas of the 25th amendment. I’m optimistic.
Let not forget the entire House is up for relection in 18 mos. Let's call all the Republicans in the House and say we are voting Democrat in 2026, since you are doing nothing.
I'm still going to buy Canadian though. He's reneged before and he'll do it again. I've just got used to it and know by heart which products I purchase are Canadian.
North Carolina you are being targeted. You have 15 days to verify your vote is counted from last year's supreme Court race. Check to see if your name is here, if it's here make haste to make your vote count. https://thegriffinlist.com
Except it has to go through the house and the house, led by speaker Johnson will not bring it up for a vote. Mike Johnson is the creepiest criminal ever.
Trump must be thinking –
The Great Depression wasn't that Great.
This one will be Greater, Bigger and Longer.
The Biggest & Best Depression will be Beautiful.
I love the tariffs they been proven wrong several times but I think there great.
Why would Republicans in Congress want to? Republican party chose pussy-grabbing felon so they could continue "Reaganomics, but on steroids (funnel money to rich & pretend it gets pissed down onto masses). Why would anyone think that those who inflicted this upon us would want to save us from it???
I don't feel as strongly about term limits. There are great people I would hate to see leave Congress. And there are always new right-wingers to replace old POS.
If a state doesn't want same old crap, they should vote them out but that's why poverty & poor health care perpetuates in red states.
On Friday, I thought Elizabeth Warren stated she was bringing something on Monday in the Senate rescinding the tariffs because the Constitution states only Congress can impose tariffs, not the President. Congress is going to exercise their power. Of course it will then need to go to the House.
If they haven't already, it's because the money people hadn't lost their faith in him yet. We'll see how much money actually talks in our "democracy", or whether these Republicans are actually going to stick to their "principles" and follow Trump's lead
Just in case anybody reading this is unclear...Congress can pass laws to undo everything the president does. Everything. It's one of the checks & balances. They can even preemptively pass a law to stop him from doing something before he does it.
All it takes is a spine and a moral compass.
Hi God, just a clarification: only the current round of tariffs were cancelled (you might say "paused") during our federal election. The tariffs imposed in March remain in force.

So, wish we could.
Trust me!
But Australia, for instance, we're a country of only 26m ppl. Our defence forces combined are only 85,000 ppl. We'd be ovbliviated in no time.
Drunk Pete would send a Signal chat & bye bye Australia's DF.
If it had been any others than Collins, Murkowski, McConnell and Paul, I'd be hopeful, but they are just paid players. They are filthy rich, been in the game for a very long time and have nothing to lose.
Every republican elected official is complicit with Trump or they would resign.
Every elected Republican official should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for treason once we get that motherfucker out of Office.
No Republican left.
Yep, it's not just U.S & Canada, we are all united by this BS. My hubby has lost about $120k in Super (Australia's retirement savings) since that 🍊💩 took office. He needs to be stopped.. 🤬
Isn't it weird how we all quickly got used to idea that a MAGA led Congess would abdicate all their power to the POTUS fuhrer? Because of course they would.
Note to Dems..... The House of Representatives can bring charges of impeachment against a Cabinet Member. If the House adopts the articles by a simple majority vote, the official has been impeached.
Go do it now. Do it again next week, and the next.
“Within” and it takes time to prepare articles of impeachment. They need to make sure it’s thorough to give it the best chance to pass. They will file as soon as they can, but that’s the statement given since they don’t know how long it will take to complete.
Double-Bagger Vance being president in a country where consequences exist couldn’t not be an upgrade from Donald remaining president in a country without consequences.
Vance is a weather vane. He'll know which way the wind is blowing. And he'll also be more than happy to see the last of Musk. We may be able to muddle through three years with Vance, as long as Democrats can get majorities in Congress.
Yes but unless included in the articles of impeachment or actual charges what will really change
Trump will continue golfing while Vance & Elon continue to recreate/destroy US while Johnson monitors porn sites
I've worried about that too, but this IS trump's cult and if he is kicked out of office, he and his followers will want to start their own "country" with trump as king.
Vance will have to face the rest of us.
In 2020 Vance & Thiel launched investment firm Narya Capital, through which they funded the startup AcreTrader – an app that makes it easier for buyers to gain quick access to ordinarily expensive agriculture farmland. As a key investor, Vance profits off of every sale.
I’d rather Vance, if I’m honest. He is awful, truly terrible. But he doesn’t have the clout and control over the GOP that Trump does, and he has to worry about getting re-elected.
Agreed JD doesn't have the clout over GOP or Maga but...
what about all the powers & immunity handed to the presidency by scotus
One would have to hope that Vance won't abuse those powers & that there will be elections
I’m not saying we shouldn’t also get rid of Vance; you’ve made some excellent points as to why we should. But, I’d still rather we have him in the White House over Trump. Of course, I’d rather neither, but that’s not likely.
JD Vance is going to do less damage to the country than trump bc Vance isn’t as stupid as trump is. And, Vance doesn’t have a cult backing him, so he won’t be able to get away with BS like trump does.
Something has to be done about him too. Last I checked, if something were to happen to both the president and vice president, Johnson would take over. The entire presidential line of succession has been taken over by Trump's lackeys.
😂😂 Like Canada would have had an ounce of trust in any decision Trump’s own personal Congress made. No one trusts anything in the US. Fools and idiots are running the country.
😂.. 3 branches of govt 🤷🏻♀️, he’s also erasing that from the records/schools so his toadies behind him will continue to dismantle the US.. why civics and social studies in schools is SO important.. side note I hate likening DT to animals because it’s diminishes that ‘animal’..
I think it's all part of the plan if they stop it it's because he said they could. That way they can save their seats and the damage is already done. And they still won't stop the Doge Bs or anything else
It may have passed in the Senate but Mike Johnson hasn't brought it to the floor and it looks like it won't see the light of day for some time. He's a coward and has latched his lips to Trump's ass. 🤬
The less action dems take, the more they open the door for the GOP to be seen as the eventual saviors from this mess- yes, even though they created it. Any GOP members who stand up will be seen by the public as heroes, while dems dig their grave as the most useless opposition party ever.
So they pretended to do their job for a day?
How about them other idiot tariffs? Especially the stupid ones, like against penguin island. Or the little lobster loving island.
Look up your local rep. Track what they introduce and vote for on the floor. Don't let them slither away with their lies.
Congress could have stopped all of this, the Russians in Congress have power of the purse, not the president, also it's not the presidents place to write laws, the russian traitors in Congress are allowing it.
Some senators, and house members are Russian assets, trump is an asset. Not on our side.
I hope I'm wrong, but I fear the Senate pulled a "Susan Collins" on a larger scale. Voted against their party when it couldn't possibly go anywhere so they could turn to their constituents and say "see? We voted against The Party! We tried!" while knowing full well it was going nowhere.
Dear God, I don’t ask for much, but if you could find a spare lightning bolt lying around… I know golf clubs can act as a lightning rod, and it would only take one. Plus, nobody on the right will blame you. In fact, you may get a shitload more people to believe in you.
But they didn't, really, did they? They first made sure that any rebuke from them would go nowhere in the House, otherwise, they probably would have kept quiet. Come on, you should know this; you're God.
It must pass the House as well... let's see how the markets go this week.... we may need an Ecnomic Recovery Act passed...
Wait.... Biden already did that.... and it was canceled.
Trust me, it hasn’t escaped most of us. They’ve just been a little busy. Let’s plan for 125 million people in the streets on 19 April. Start now. Call your friends make a plan. Have signmaking parties till that day!
I think we should aim for 250 million! One for every year of our democracy. There are enough people around the globe on fire about what this regime is doing to our world to make this happen.
I believe the rationale at the time was that he was a businessman and that is what the country needed. Trump made being a career politician a bad thing.

SCOTUS basically cancelled Congress two days ago.

Second term: depression (economic and personal).
Third term? What’s left? Locusts? Frogs?
You’re not running for president, you’re summoning plagues.
YET time. The forces of darkness will eclipse EVERYONE.
YET Republicans do nothing.
Unless they've been totally in agreement with him up till now?
If that's the case, I'll paraphrase Chief Brody, "We're gonna need a bigger jail".
The crimes committed so far with their approval must be treated as a conspiracy of which they're all complicit.
Sickening
Back to the devils business come Monday.
Not otherwise. (They are poll-dependent, those little scum-bags of ours.)
Everyone: call your Representative

Sending support your way.
If enough of them feel the heat from their constituents (and maybe donors) then change is possible.
More fucked up because they’re constituents voted for them and they’re just doing it because it’s gonna hurt their pocket. Don’t give a fuck about any other state but their own.
Yes, I'm talking about the GOP MAGA.
But will they...
Two of them are from KY - color me surprised. 🤦
Didn’t work
A few republican senators knew this and voted for it so that could keep getting elected by their people.
You know it was planned with trumps permission because he didn’t rant about it on truth social.
where do we keep them? Have you counted the thousand islands lately?
Now that we've been reminded...WE know what to do!
❤️🇺🇸💙📎🌹🖇🦋

FAFO
The Great Depression wasn't that Great.
This one will be Greater, Bigger and Longer.
The Biggest & Best Depression will be Beautiful.
I love the tariffs they been proven wrong several times but I think there great.
1. The vote only "cancelled" the current* round of tariffs on 🇨🇦, which were intended to stack on top of the tariffs imposed in March - those remain.
2. Trump et al have paused additional tariffs on 🇨🇦 ostensibly to avoid further damaging the CPC during the fed election
If a state doesn't want same old crap, they should vote them out but that's why poverty & poor health care perpetuates in red states.
Speaker Johnson refused to bring it to the floor.
I don't blame them.
All it takes is a spine and a moral compass.
Mike Johnson will not let that happen, so all the Senate huffing and puffing and can’t blow out a candle with their efforts.
GOP are the ones empowering this admin & betraying their oaths of office.
Protest them, show up at their offices, call their offices, & demand they act DAILY.

His next step for land grab.
what about all the powers & immunity handed to the presidency by scotus

So essentially the US will treat JD VAnce like all the other tech businesses Peter Thiel forced Vance on, that let him go after a year or less

And then I fantasize of all the ways I could serve.
I mean, it’s immaterial to me now since our course is set away from the US and won’t be changing, but it’s good to know.
It wont last nor will it get through the House.
How about them other idiot tariffs? Especially the stupid ones, like against penguin island. Or the little lobster loving island.
