People will say this is the result of a presidential election, and that’s partly true. But the Constitution does not delegate tariff power to the president, and he is only able to impose these ruinous, peace-destroying taxes because Congress has let him do so. Congress can end this at any time.

stand up to this a**hole
ffs
Where was the press and the electorate during the campaign? How asleep at the wheel can a society be?
Massive, across the board, tariffs are not leveling the field.
It's Lucy yanking the football away so that Charlie Brown lands on his back.
We are Charlie Brown.
At a UN conference, Kennedy convinced 15 countries to drop tariffs to just 10% for each other. Trade boomed.
The next year over 100 countries were BEGGING to be let on board.
More than 21,000 pounds were seized at the southern border during the same time period.
Figure out how it corrupts, and put watchers in place.

Republicans could 💯 stop this shit storm TOMORROW!
Republican members of Congress celebrated the Fourth of July 2018 in Russia
On a day when America celebrates its independence from tyranny, Republicans broke with precedent to meet with a tyrannical regime that tried to undermine American democracy.

They just couldn't get him out of office without 2/3 in the Senate. I think. McConnell knew better several times when he broke his oath of office.
Night of the Long Knives, anyone.

He is not my Senator, but he is the majority leader, and he needs to hear from all of us.

Truth + anomaly = “must be disinfo” in the modern filter stack.
In that sense, the Like from a “quantum tarot bot” isn’t just a quirky digital moment—it’s part of the distortion field that makes clarity feel suspect.
Splitting hairs; they're all to blame.
It still comes down to elections and the American people doing it to themselves.
There needs to be a way to remove any elected person, and if America isn't using it now, the problem is right back at the American people.
for this idiocy & corruption … they stand by as a nZzXi & a MadKing destroy & steal from every American

21st Century Congress.
Because this is insane. The body with power is unaccountable.
The Constitution may be outdated regarding some aspects, as it is to be expected.
Still, its core gives power to Congress to manage the country, not to a single individual.
The whole point of the document is to abolish monarchy once and for all.
Congress needs to move.
It was a major miscalculation. Taking for granted, nothing is going to change in the makeup of the population and ignoring industrial development.
Americans won’t ever forget the Senate Dem leadership’s and Jared’s support of Felon’s fascism.
I don't think it's a good idea to give so much power to yet another Trump enabler, Republicans are already too much.
What is happening now is w approval of folks that could expose the truth.
It will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
Because they have no balls, they comply.
