The people complaining are literally the only people with the power to actually do something about it.

All of this could end tomorrow.

I will guarantee you can get all Democrats on board with a bill that reclaims the power of levying tariffs as outlined in Article 1 of the Constitution. Reclaim the powers and nullify all tariffs that have been imposed by Trump since his inauguration. Even half of Republicans and all Democrats would be enough to cover the 2/3 in the Senate needed to override a Trump veto.

That's it. That's all it would take and this whole thing would be over. But anyone in the GOP that is complaining about these tariffs while holding the power to actually do something about it isn't actually complaining. It's performance art. Don't listen to what they say, look at how they vote. If they're saying they're against it while voting in favor of it, they're lying to you.

And these people are all lying to you. They will vote in lockstep when push comes to shove.

His real name is Rafael. He doesn't believe in preferred names.

Also, only a literal bloodbath of republicans will suffice.

His big worry is re-election, not the people this will hurt.

I'm glad to see that people here aren't reveling in looming economic disaster just because it might mean that their team gets to be in power.

Of course Ted fucking Cruz is concerned with getting reelected, not, you know; the whole horrific collapse of the stock market, wiping out the 401ks and retirement savings of any of his constituents who even had them.

Or the financial harm that absolutely will translate into direct harm as people can’t afford to fucking eat.

No no. It’s that the party that caused this fucking disaster won’t stay in power. That’s the real reason they need to act.

Raphael, Raphael doesn't like people using preferred names, or pronouns.

Again, Republicans are worried about their own jobs and power, not about any of the problems of the working American family, the average white fucking American family that voted for this btw.

Holy shit, is that the Zodiac Killer?

Midterms? Not at this rate. I'm sure some fabricated emergency will spring up delaying such democratic luxuries.

Good fuck all y'all bitch ass motherfuckers

Please let this blubbering shitbag be included in that bloodbath.

It dont matter to this mf, t*xas will still elect republicans, republicans can kill their dogs, send their kids to the mines and rob them for all they have and they would STILL vote for them to own the libs.

First. Fuck Ted Cruz. Second. It’s not just tariffs you fucking dumb cunt. It’s the whole toxic and traitorous Republican Party.

Please let a literal bloodbath consume the Republicans

Eat shit, Rafael, you stupid turd.

It seems we are going back to 1933 again, now all that is missing is a president like FDR and having three or four terms.

And that's all he cares about.

One can only pray they do ted, you miserable cunt.

100% HUMAN CANDIDATE Ted Cruz

I’m going to go devils advocate here… first Rand Paul, now Ted Cruz. When things break they’ll break quick, and as distasteful as both of these guys are, they’re not the dumb ones like Grassley, Bobert, or MTG. They smell something in the wind or they wouldn’t have the courage to speak out. Could we be witnessing the beginning of a schism?

Like there will ever be another actual untampered with election.

If we give Cancun Ted the benefit of the doubt (something I am loathe to do for any MAGA Nazi), then perhaps he is truly warning HitlerPig of the electoral consequences of this economic folly.

In reality, I am 100% positive that HitlerPig will hear it as a call to suspend the mid-term elections.

It's more than likely true because this shit always blows up in their faces, but it won't matter if all we do is elect more milquetoast Zionist corporate Dems. If that happens, we will end up right back in this same spot in a few years.

doesnt matter if you're a reptilian that migrates to cancun to shed your skin.

They fucking better or we’re perma-fucked, not just fucked for the next decade like now.

Fuck.

I don't know why they are so worried, Trump has toppled all the heads of government agencies with loyalists. They will be well prepared to finish their transition towards authoritarianism in the midterms, although they will have a lot more to worry about before they even get there.

🤞

Fled Cruz can go pound dirt with his hips. There will be a bloodbath on a few fronts.

Nuuu, you can't sabotage the midterms yet, Cruz isn't running for election again until 2030. It's the only way us Texas lefties are ever getting rid of him.

It's a Good Thing these Same Republicans DID and ARE DOING Literally NOTHING to Stop these Tariffs that they are Calling DISASTROUS! Oh Well! At least we can rely on Chuck Schumer's DEMOCRATS to. . .Also Do Nothing to Stop these DISASTROUS Tariffs!

Stop it Rafael, I can only get so erect.

Elections... ha! Obviously Trump is keeping him outside the loop on future plans.

...except for the gerrymandering.

We already got a good peak of that back at Wisconsin.

In the elections, right?
