Yeah, here's the thing. There's only so often you get to wave the gun around at your customers before your sales pricing ceases to matter.

Johnson is incompetent, but the House is gonna be a heavy lift.

Also... we may need a veto proof majority. Which is... shitty.

dfs4114.bsky.social•1 day ago

Still gotta get the House to vote on it. And then gotta have enough to override the inevitable veto.

That said, it's a good sign that there's pushback already.

lol Windsor Heights Dairy Queen place for tariffs

House won’t pass. Also- Congress already has this authority under the Constitution.

markstahl.bsky.social•1 day ago

Congress gave away the authority in the continuance bill. Good luck getting it back.

Tariff bill facing the House of Representatives:

You can tell they're gamers because they keep trying to save scum. "Oops, never mind on the 40% price increase on all goods. Where's that save file from before I did this stupid shit..."

They will never get a vote in the House. If there is a vote it will pass but Speaker will not let it get to the floor.

Big if true.

Doesn’t matter. We are a pariah state. I don’t even know if our reputation will be a fraction of what it was in my daughter’s lifetime.

aunteelynn.bsky.social•18 hours ago

a bit late!

mdlmarkham.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It will take a lot for the GOP to consider taking back their constitutional authority over tariffs. We need to encourage them.

Can someone say what the joke is?

hurtreynolds.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm very curious to know who they think will cast the 67th Senate vote to override the veto.

scubanik.bsky.social•1 day ago

House won’t pass.

anamariecox.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s a joke!

scubanik.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sorry 🤣

Trump won't sign.

They go along with everything he wants. So …

cabbageridge.bsky.social•21 hours ago

You think Mike Johnson will go against Trump? No way. I predict it passes the Senate with 60 votes and never gets on the House floor and if it does they pass it. He will veto it and Elon will threaten them all with primaries and they will back down

chrisl2.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Do it anyway and shout out what you’re doing to the public.

donleahy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

So what? He will veto it and they won’t have the votes to override.

rlux.nyc•1 day ago

Will the house pass it?

airplaneguy-dc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nope. Probably won’t ever make it to the floor.
