      Trump is insane. He seems to get validation not in improving american lives but by hurting others.

      Congress has the authority to review presidential declarations of emergencies.

      Even if the resolution succeeds in the House, and makes its way through the Senate for approval, Trump retains veto power. However, losing a tariff vote in the House would be a politically symbolic blow to the president, who has made tariffs the cornerstone economic policy of his second term.

      Although the resolution has been in the works since March of last year, Wednesday will be the first time the House will have the opportunity to vote on it, as it was repeatedly blocked by Republican leadership.

      The blocking effort finally collapsed on Tuesday.

      Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson had tried to stop the vote through a procedural move that would have allowed him to bar debate on any tariffs imposed through the president’s emergency declarations through the end of July.

      Three Republicans sided with all Democratic representatives in the narrowly divided House to vote down the rule 217-214, clearing the way for Wednesday’s vote on the tariffs against Canada.

      That very high pitched squealing sound is Mr. Trump’s sphincter as it puckers under the weight of the impending onslaught. Hopefully the Reps who voted with the Dems will continue to do the principled thing and bring this process to its conclusion.

      Backstabbing motherfuckers. Americans as a whole did not give a shit about the whole thing. Barely anyone spoke out – fuck them, fuck their stupid houses and fuck their supreme court. It’s corruption all the way down.

      It won’t pass. And it won’t pass the Senate either. And if against all odds it does pass the two chambers, he’s going to veto it. We are in the dumbest timeline. These people don’t want normal happy lives for everyone, they want chaos and distractions so they can keep shamelessly stealing from the public trust.

      This doesn’t mean the tariffs will go away. Trump has a veto. But it shows even Republican lawmakers vulnerable to his rage have grown sick of him. So have American voters. He won’t go down without a fight but make no mistake, he’s going down.

      I think we all agree that the house should have done way more already than to vote against his tariff plans…

      imagine if you simply did not tax your own people because you got mad at the tv

      This is largely symbolic unless Congress has a veto-proof majority. Still, a symbolic setup for Trump is significant as it means that Congress is breaking with him. It’d only get worse for him after the midterms.

      Can anyone name one thing this administration has done to help the American ppl? I really can’t think of anything.

      There are lots of swing voters getting absolutely destroyed due to the tariffs. I think it will be lot more Canada leaning than what people here think it will be. I still don’t think it will pass but it will create an optics nightmare for Trump just before the midterms.

      Trump and his gang…Don’t treat them like human beings, treat them like they are Republicans.
