Anytime in the last 10 years, Republicans could have turned away from criminality, bigotry, racism, sexism, selfishness and greed. But then that IS the party identity, isn't it?
Was just thinking about this. The system was set up so we would not be at the mercy of the whims of one person, but the Republicans have refused. If it's because they don't want to be primaried, it is such . . . Words fail me. Cowardly venality?
The American public needs to be reminded that in the 60s it was the presidents of all these companies and factories that moved all of the jobs overseas because they did not want to pay American workers. thank them for all of the cheap products coming into this country!
A handful of Republican's in the Senate stood up for Canada, and now they need to stand up, uphold their oaths to defend, and repeal all of the tariffs.
If the House has deemed the entire session as one day, and they have a yearly salary, shouldn't they be paid 1/365 of the normal rate? Or should it be more like 1/700? Due to the fact they aren't IN DC working half the time. ( you know how they feel about working from home ) Someone alert DOGE!
For white supremacy, racism, xenophobia, and “christian”nationalism, the Republican Party is willing to sacrifice our most noble and magnificent experiment in freedom from oppression to become an authoritarian, dictatorial Oligarchy and, in the process, abandon Ukraine to a murderous dictator.
They are all drunk on power and money. It is only about them and their checkbook, not ours. They are intoxicated by power and money, focused solely on themselves and their profits, not ours.
If only 20 of them (10 from each the House and Senate) had a fucking conscious and cared about American citizens (regardless of political affiliation) and joined the Democrats to stop this madness.
People said this in 2016 and throughout his first term. I doubt it. I still hope it to be true, but I think far too many MAGA voters enjoy the chaos and destruction. They are willing to destroy our country to watch the system and the “Lefties” pay for “persecuting” their criminal orange god.
This time tho they are likely to really be hit hard. It will be the poorest who will suffer from the cost plus inflation to new levels not saw in our lifetime
We're witnessing Capital H History. We need this to happen. It's the only way that the US can have a better future. Because this will destroy the Republican party
The world, and 263 million Americans are at war with American Nazis. Act accordingly.
Circumvent us. Sanction us. Boycott us. Economically crush us.
Shock and awe. Swift and aggressive.
After 80 years, we must unite again against Nazis, and purge fascism from the planet. #destroyfascism
I'm no longer sure whether it's a good idea for my supremely weird looking account and self to join in USA politics or any politics as I fear doing more harm than good;
Yet at absolute minimum you're going to face Legalised Embezzlement and TREASON cloaked in patriotism.
How to escape, I don't know.
The money they receive, the power they yield and their family legacy is more important to them than democracy and the American people.
They don’t care.
To be very fair about this all... yesteryear's Radical Republicans had an intense dislike for any and all traitorous domestic terrorists. Read up on the history of the Reconstruction Era from 1865 to 1875, before you get to the third great Compromise in U.S History! https://oyc.yale.edu/history/hist-119
Yes, and they should, but some damage can't be undone. USA is an unreliable partner and ally. How do we trust that you don't do this again in four years?
Breaking News: 4 Republicans vote against tariffs on, checks notes, Canada.
We're at the Article 25 level of the game and it's breaking news that 4 Republicans dared say TFG shouldn't tarriff our closest ally?
And where are the DEMs with the messaging "We can easily stop this if your congressman would stand up for you." We should be killing on this messaging point, that congress can stop tarrifs.
But they don't want to. They're not in this for the good of their constituents. They could not give an eff less about the people they represent. They're in it for money and for power. End of story.
You think they would realize that, wouldn't you? So on top of being power and money hungry, they just aren't smart. It's really very French Revolution.
It’s true. They clearly don’t want to shut this down so either they’re terrified of Trump or they have another motivating factor - they must be benefiting in someway from this.
Insider trading information for example. I bet a lot of them got tipped off about the tariffs and bought put options against the market indices in time to win millions.
Republicans are not bystanders to this. THEY are the cause of this. Trump is the outgrowth of exactly what they've been working to achieve for decades. This is what they've always wanted.
They can NEVER be forgiven for what they've done. EVER.
In case you're thinking, "Why aren't they worried about re-election if they're screwing their own constituents?", it's because TRUMP WANTS TO ELIMINATE ELECTIONS. They can't be voted out of office if there's NO MORE VOTING.
Won’t happen.
Self before country.
Every time.
I believe it’s these GOP congressmen and women whom posterity will be most scathing of. Their children and grandchildren will live with the shame. Some will probably change their names.
The economic "experts" in our mass media until yesterday had assumed that if Donald John Trump was coherently aware of his mistakes, he'd correct them. Such is not the case. We then must toy with the idea of the 25th Amendment or a third Senate Impeachment Trial. Yes... low or moderate are nicer.
The next election after 1890 and Benjamin Harrison's signature on the McKinley Tariff had Republicans loosing badly. It ushered in Grover Cleveland's gold standard driven 2nd term. When POTUS McKINLEY used the term "reciprocal tariff" he meant he wanted to negotiate high tariffs down not up.
Over the last 48 hours we saw DJT initiate SMOOT HAWLEY 2.0 as he chose to DELIBERATELY do what Herbert Hoover slowly realized was a very grave mistake for our nation and himself. It turned a depression into a very GREAT one. TRUMP has moved to the protectionist right of Benjamin Harrison.
2 or 3 GOP ppl in the HOUSE of REPs vote to impeach DJT in tandem with the 'D's ...to be followed by at least 20 Republican Senators who copy MITT ROMNEY's "Yes" and "No" votes... that is all i am asking for in terms of X~Mas presents this year.
And, with how the vote turned out in WI, they know they are wildly unpopular which makes me even more concerned that they/he will try to stop voting henceforth. Someone please ease my fears about this.
Jess, watching Rachel last night and it seems that even if they passed something in the House, the President would still have to sign. How can this be the right way to check the Executive?
They're too scared. Why? Trump is a lame duck. Musk is the most loathed figure in America. Trump himself is underwater in the polls. What are they fearing? Here's the fact, if they don't start utilizing their power as a co-equal branch of government, many of them will be out of a job next year.
Trump will be lucky to even finish half of this term. The fact that he's refused to release his medical records speaks volumes. It's a miracle that this bloated, saggy, diet Coke-guzzling old coot is still walking sround. If he were in good health, he would be crowing at the top of his lungs.
If we are still able to vote in 2026 there will be a lot of new dems in congress and the senate. Read your history about tariffs and two administrations that had their asses kicked. I know you maga won't, but you will get to experience it.

Tell them to reverse Trump's harmful tariffs.

But keep talking about national security and signalgate too! Do BOTH!

Too many on here saying *Congress* could stop it and that's just not the case unless GOP goes along

Get involved, now you can be a horseman of the apocalypse too!

Republican Congress people are in on it. Their name is on this.
EVERYBODY should be calling their congress people today.
Need MAGA Mike Johnson to do the same. That's dicey giving his allegiance to lardass.

We have a cancer. It's known. Now we need to take the necessary steps to remove it. FOREVER.
How much is their cut of the profits from buying everything from bankruptcy at 5 cents on the dollar when the dust settles?
We have to save ourselves...
