Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

True, but the joint resolution would have to be enacted into law. Trump would veto it, so Congress would need a 2/3 veto override. Not gonna happen—at least, not yet. Give the economic carnage another week or so and maybe.

Democracy died in Congress.

saintbridge.bsky.social•6 days ago

And nobody's doing anything to stop him.

jordanscot.bsky.social•6 days ago

But that would take some balls, would it not? I'm pretty sure no one in the Senate has any balls. They've proven that time and time again!

cathysantiago.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sadly, they’ve apparently been castrated.

schoolednlife.bsky.social•6 days ago

I didn’t know that!!!! Very interesting!!!!

fairorchard.bsky.social•6 days ago

Republican tariffs, not Trump tariffs.

Democrats: "I gotta ask my older brother..."

crispymainer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly. We can end the lawless executive branch acts any day Congress so chooses.

cynthiadalton.bsky.social•6 days ago

They could, but they are lacking in the courage department. The Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz is a million times more courageous than Republican politicians.

But Mikey fascist Johnson sent everyone home and he won’t allow a vote in the House

lmalloy1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Except for the fact that the house left DC for the week

excannbiz.bsky.social•6 days ago

funny.

ivannevarez.bsky.social•6 days ago

Senate voted and passed, today I think, a declaration that there is no emergency. Sent it to the House, but they won't bring it to a vote because Speaker Johnson is a whipped coward.

myfiona.bsky.social•6 days ago

Too bad Johnson has no shame.

multredab.bsky.social•6 days ago

But the quisling Republicans won't.

symich74.bsky.social•6 days ago

But since there is nothing about tariffs in MAGA Twink Jonhson’s bible… it just wont happen. God bless.

darthfos.bsky.social•6 days ago

Except he also declared a "National Economic Emergency" in order to be able to do this BS just like the "National Emergency" on Fentanyl he used to hit Mexico and Canada:

Didn't Speaker Johnson send the House home after he couldn't stop the voting by proxy bill from passing for new parents in Congress

myfiona.bsky.social•6 days ago

Unfortunately, Congress has given up their duty to manage the budget. Everything now goes to King Donald.

dclascelle.bsky.social•6 days ago

MAGA hasn’t learned not to put all of it’s crazy in one basket.

Instead, they were taught that their faux king is never wrong.

And yet, here we are.

heypelayo.bsky.social•6 days ago

No balls.

rael1970.bsky.social•6 days ago

You saw Mike's Johnson basically losing control of the House over...**checks notes**...parental leave and proxies.

Seems Mike's Johnson only wants men voting in Congress...and "REAL" men only do what the quad-indicted, twice-impeached, 34-convictions First Felon wants them to do...

vortex3.bsky.social•6 days ago

Corollary: after successfully browbeating and threatening Congress into surrendering their authority to him voluntarily, we should at least consider the possibility that he could do the same thing to an incoming President elect.

There are, ahem, models for this that Trump admires.

rebelspikeyfloof.bsky.social•6 days ago

But will they?

sencbeachbum.bsky.social•6 days ago

The gop won’t do shit but watch with glee as the average citizen goes broke faster than ever

howardgordon.bsky.social•6 days ago

But they’re evil motherfuckers.

v2-0.bsky.social•6 days ago

Since there's no emergency, it's unconstitutional for Congress to hand over this enumerated Article I power to the Executive branch.

grobielauren.bsky.social•6 days ago

Too bad they won't. *sigh* I hate being realistic.

mkn68.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe THATS why lol Mike went home all mad

rocinante1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep, Maga (aka "Republican") House could stop this madness right now. Except Moscow Mike Johnson has distorted the language of what a "day" is...unless someone can convince him to save what's left of his evil soul, he'll block passage of the Senate-passed stoppage of the Tr*** Cult tariff insanity.

sean05evans.bsky.social•6 days ago

But they won't.

olivierrupert.bsky.social•6 days ago

The maga-fascists in Congress will rubber stamp whatever mad plans the orange shit demon throws at them. It's what they want, tank the economy so they can sieze power completely...
