Summary
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) plans to introduce a bill allowing Congress to block presidential tariffs, marking a rare GOP split with Trump amid market fallout.
His bill mirrors the Senate’s bipartisan Trade Review Act, requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of new tariffs and gain approval within 60 days or face expiration.
With Trump able to veto and Republicans controlling Congress, passage is unlikely.
Meanwhile, House Democrats aim to force a vote ending Trump’s tariff-related national emergency, increasing pressure on vulnerable Republicans.
Both sides!
Eh normally I’d be with you on that. But the last three months haven’t exactly shown the dems willingness to fight against the insanity and evil. There’s a very small number of them that have been talking game. The rest, including their leadership, have been either absent or willingly shrugging.
The Democrats would have totally laid off half the government, threatened universities with funding cuts based on speech, and started a trade war with the whole world if we had kept them in power.
I never said that’s what they would have done.
But what are they doing to stop it?
You’re probably not even American anyways, your cosplay concern trolling doesn’t matter.
If the Democrats wouldn’t have done the same shitty things or worse, then both sides aren’t the goddamn same. If the country didn’t want Trump to do the shitty things he said he would do. maybe they should have voted in another President and party.
How’s you country doing? Stick your political analysis to your own government. Cuz i know for a fact you’re not American.
There’s a saying that when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Non Americans are very vested in this mess, and have a right to comment on it, Cletus!
I’m American. They’re right.
So there you go.
Thanks. I’m also an American, living in America. That commenter’s facts aren’t very reliable.
It’s awesome to blame the victims of our own collective fuckwittedness so we don’t have to feel guilt for fucking up a mind-numbingly easy binary decision to a point so bad it will echo a hundred years from now (assuming we still have records).
I’ll happily put blame on the people in power, yes. Especially since i voted those people in.
Maybe if you were American, instead of cosplaying as an angry voter, you’d understand.
You can chant it all you want but only 15 out of 47 Democrats in the Senate voted to stop arming Israel. Everyone else joined the Republicans to vote for “we must allow the genocide to continue.”
