Some one has to step up and stop the fool that driving the nation into the ground! The republicans will have a price to pay if they don’t respond to this idiotic clown!
They’ll have a price to play regardless on how things turn out. They’ve been pulling this BS for the last 10 years, especially with the orange clown. People are not gonna put up with the games the GOP plays.
I know they fear Trump’s wrath but I’m surprised the MAGA GOP is not fearful of their once adoring constituents turning on them as the economy begins to tank from these tariffs.
The plan is to just not have pesky, bothersome elections anymore.
Why worry about angry voters when you’ve taken away the right to vote?
Voting has been “suspended” in other autocratic takeovers, why not here?
Declare martial law because of the danger of an unruly, angry mob, and employ the military against their own citzens, to enforce your will on them. Enough of this outdated “ democracy” bullshit.
I too fear Marshall law is not out of the question for this unlawful president but I also question if our military would uphold a command against their fellow citizens. Trump has never shown much respect for our servicemen. I know it feels like we are moving toward autocracy but the difference is we have 250 years of democracy (ironic that all this is happening now) behind us while Germany was only a few years from living under a monarchy when Hitler rose to power. I do feel though that our military needs to be reminded that “I was just following orders” did not hold up in the world court. That reminder should be on billboards all around our military bases.
I have been concerned as to what our military members would do if they were ordered to fire on the neighbors and friends. I would hope they would not do that and respect the constitution. I was talking with my brother about it yesterday and he said that they would be Court, Marshall than possibly could be set in front of a firing squad as wellfor disobeying orders. He’s a former Air Force guy from the 60s.
The Dems need to be fierce and forceful against the tariffs. It will prove them to be formidable next year and hopefully stop the destruction of the economy now.
It is obvious to me that our Russian Overlords are bent on destoying our Nation. Maybe, just maybe Congress will be able to slow this shit show down when enough Congress Crittersl find a spine to oppose Chump.
There is a private level in hell for Mitch McConnell. He orchestrated the entire TRUMP escape escapade, from tanking both impeachments, to ensuring Donald could run again in 2024. He is an evil republican lackey and I sincerely hope he suffers for all eternity. He knew exactly what he was doing. From manipulating votes, the election, and the despicable stacking of the Supreme Court with the most corrupt judges he could find. He had no thought for the consequences to the country, only his own evil ends. Truly an evil worthless Balrog from the depths of hell. BURN! MITCH BURN !
It’s Project 2025 to destroy us. Look at their timeline online. It’s not ALL Trump. You think he could have created 180 executive orders himself?! They’re just allowing him to have some of his pet projects.
It is all Trump because he is doing ALL the billionaires and Russia and Saudis want… does he care that our people will suffer no.. he is the leader and has no integrity and his family is just like him. Eric Trump literally on the same day Trump put tariff on said buy crypto( his friend Witkoff’s son and Don Jr have a company for cryptocurrency) the crime family worse then any mafia!!!!
And Republicans when Trump played the president game the first. Republicans allowed that sore to fester and become contagious to America and to our blessed world. What's being down took a monster and spineless, bias, supremacy beings. People that don't have a clue about doing your own research, care about people, concern for others. A house divided will not stand.
Well they have been by voting against bills… it’s the republicans that have let this happen. They just ALL voted against vets getting their jobs back … Tammy Baldwin had the bill and they ALL said no… they kiss Trumps ass for their money to grow in their pockets!!!!!
And today Lithuanian people sent 4 American soldiers home that died there and they were so respectful and our so-called President is not meeting those soldiers here… instead he is golfing and hanging with the Saudis. I miss Joe Biden and the respect he showed during his 4 years to veterans and to disasters in our country. Trump is in a business it’s called the USA and it’s your money he is using!!!!!!!
Do you really think you can get 2/3 of the Republican house to vote for it. The Senators are barely defecting. We need concrete ideas not hypotheticals
I'm trying to look on the bright side. By the time this bill would be written and brought for a vote, the rest of the jerks who have been holding back will have heard from the constituents who are feeling the pain of these tariffs and letting their Senators and Reps know it.
The bright side is that even if the measures don't pass, the GOP is forced to go on record with their vote on where they stand. This gives us a big advantage in the midterms.
This is true, but a win is always preferred to a loss. Especially now, with the market close to crashing and the cost of goods about to break the banks of everyday Americans on both sides, I believe in a few weeks an impeachment proceeding will do much better than we can imagine.
I'd love to see an impeachment at least as much as you would, probably much more so, but with Jackass Johnson holding the Speakers gavel, I'm not going to count on it.
Hypothetical can turn to concrete ideas that work. We don't know until we try and something click. Something works because we tried until we succeeded. Trying beats failure.
If the President vetoes a bill, Congress can attempt to override the veto.
Override Process:
To override a veto, both the House of Representatives and the Senate must vote to override it by a two-thirds majority.
Pocket Veto:
If Congress adjourns before the President has had 10 days to act on a bill, the bill does not become law, and this is known as a pocket veto.
Checks and Balances:
The veto power and the override process are examples of checks and balances between the legislative and executive branches, ensuring no single branch becomes too powerful.
"...ensuring no single branch becomes too powerful."
Which these days is a bit overstated. Our system is pathetically dependent on the "honor" system and "norms". We now have a president - and a bunch of congressional sycophants - who has no honor, and seems to go out of his way to violate every "norm" possible, just for the fun of it.
His “decree” is relying on his other declaration of a national emergency (which would go away if he went away). I Dems want to kill the national emergency so that we don’t end up with an international crisis
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Never mind the loophole, end the phony national emergency. Better still, end the real national emergency by removing him from the white house - by force if necessary.
The majority of the country want the drastic and insane power grab of the Trump administration STOPPED! Go Democrats, Independents and sane republicans!!
ASAP is NOT too soon to begin to constrict options for Trump. He is 150 years out of date on tariffs. Republicans gotta get a backbone, including the obsequious leader of the House.
I would love Dems to have a clean sweep next year if enough Rs aren't scared of their voters than the felon. Getting a 20-35 seat majority in the House and flipping the Senate would be a massive rebuke to FDJT's tariffs insanity.
Republicans do NOT have backbones, just like they do not have the BALLS to stand up to this dictator wanna be. GROW A PAIR AND TAKE A STAND, for your country, for your own family for crap’s sake! This is not just a normal temper tantrum. This is life threatening for all of us. Think about it!! It’s not going to get better, it’s only going to get worse!!!
The “national emergency” is that trump is in power and quickly destroying our country.
Exactly, but those damn RepubliCONS are not about to step forward and get called out so they can stay at the money trough!
I’d like to have an emergency presidentectomy to remove the offending splinter.
Yes, Democratic AND Republican/MAGA representatives SHOULD MOVE FORWARD TO BLOCK AND OPPOSE TRUMP, VANCE AND MUSK!
Some one has to step up and stop the fool that driving the nation into the ground! The republicans will have a price to pay if they don’t respond to this idiotic clown!

The last 10 years? The last 70 years! Since the McCarthy era.
I know they fear Trump’s wrath but I’m surprised the MAGA GOP is not fearful of their once adoring constituents turning on them as the economy begins to tank from these tariffs.

Not for disobeying an illegal order.
What is ICE doing: following orders w/o process !
An emergency order made by a non sensical pres is suspect!
So why isn’t thrse plain clothes hoodies with no badge clarification on them is “ breaking windows on women or KIDNAPOING off the streets.
If you are in army not questioning those think: Will you face criminal charges?( it’s not war!!!)
Thre are a few more of us
Thank You to my Senator, Tim Kaine!
The only National
Emergency is the one trump is creating.
Agreed. But as it stands prices will add 25%. So if you want a new car?? Ferget about it.
The Dems need to be fierce and forceful against the tariffs. It will prove them to be formidable next year and hopefully stop the destruction of the economy now.
Awesome. The Dems need to lead on these kinds of things. That Orange Thug thought everyone would capitulate.
It is obvious to me that our Russian Overlords are bent on destoying our Nation. Maybe, just maybe Congress will be able to slow this shit show down when enough Congress Crittersl find a spine to oppose Chump.
Vote every Republican out local on up!!! They are complicit in letting our country fall into billionaires hands!!!
That is actually the goal. They already control 60% of the total wealth in our country. They want it alĺ
I fear this one is all on Trump. And those who voted for him. And those who couldn’t be bothered to vote.
Definitely and don’t forget those who paved the way for this lawlessness- McConnell and the Supreme Court.
There is a private level in hell for Mitch McConnell. He orchestrated the entire TRUMP escape escapade, from tanking both impeachments, to ensuring Donald could run again in 2024. He is an evil republican lackey and I sincerely hope he suffers for all eternity. He knew exactly what he was doing. From manipulating votes, the election, and the despicable stacking of the Supreme Court with the most corrupt judges he could find. He had no thought for the consequences to the country, only his own evil ends. Truly an evil worthless Balrog from the depths of hell. BURN! MITCH BURN !

Absolutely right, Vickie!

What's being down took a monster and spineless, bias, supremacy beings. People that don't have a clue about doing your own research, care about people, concern for others.

Middle class and poor lose again….
Love 💕 “ Chump”
In the immortal words of Rep. John Lewis and paraphrasing by Sen. Cory Booker, "THIS IS GOOD TROUBLE", watch out, we're on the move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks like the perfect spot for another plug of a call to action:

Short TE卐LA! Short Swastikar!
Boycott 卐tarlink!
Boycott 卐/Twitter!
Curb your DOGE!
Yessss!! I’ll be there!!
Republicans are changing their minds! I hope it passes , Trump is Misusing the war category to use EO!
Go Blue 💙🩵
Glad they’re trying something.
It’s about time the Dems started opposing Drumpfs power grabs.
Well they have been by voting against bills… it’s the republicans that have let this happen. They just ALL voted against vets getting their jobs back … Tammy Baldwin had the bill and they ALL said no… they kiss Trumps ass for their money to grow in their pockets!!!!!
Tammy Duckworth….. sorry for the mistake…
And today Lithuanian people sent 4 American soldiers home that died there and they were so respectful and our so-called President is not meeting those soldiers here… instead he is golfing and hanging with the Saudis. I miss Joe Biden and the respect he showed during his 4 years to veterans and to disasters in our country. Trump is in a business it’s called the USA and it’s your money he is using!!!!!!!
He calls the soldiers losers
True that!!
If we know Trump is going to veto. Why do it? Hoping for Republican turncoats?
Because with 2/3 or House and Senate they can override his veto.
Do you really think you can get 2/3 of the Republican house to vote for it. The Senators are barely defecting. We need concrete ideas not hypotheticals

Tariffs will quickly get very unpopular. The plan is to force Repubs to vote FOR tariffs or AGAINST.
Each time they vote FOR, their constituents will get madder.
Repeat until constituents begin to construct scaffolds and guillotines.
That’s the plan.
With you.
Or until the midterms roll around, whichever comes first.
I feel hopeless and angry about this also but you must try. If you don't try you've instantly failed.
Maybe some rethugs will cross over in these terrible times.
The ones who don't come around will be summarily and unceremoniously dismissed in 2026.
Hypothetical can turn to concrete ideas that work. We don't know until we try and something click. Something works because we tried until we succeeded. Trying beats failure.
We need 2/3 of the entire senate, not just Repugs. Right now, there are 53 Repugs, 45 Dems, and 2 independents, both of whom caucus with the Dems.
We need 67 senators to override a veto, so we'd need 12 Repugs.

But the Congress check is it doing its job!
Dems plus enough Reps could make it veto-proof. The question is how many Republicans have a spine.
We'll need at least a dozen of them. A dozen Repugs with spines? That's a pretty tall order.
