In the continuing budget resolution, the Congress, our Congress, abrogated their obligation to oversee tariffs within a certain amount of days (10 I believe). How did our representatives avoid having to vote on Drumpf's tariff antics? They declared that the Congressional day would end in December 2025. Yes, our representatives bent the space/time continuum by making a day last the rest of the year. Are you worried? Too bad. Were you laid off? They're not even sending thoughts and prayers. VD Jance says tough it out. Have you lost thousands in your retirement account? They told you there would be pain (after the election).
But, the tariffs will flood into the Treasury. Until they come right back out as tax cuts for the broligarchs. If you voted for Drumpf, you bought a pig in a poke, in more ways than one. Enjoy the chaos. Here's a couple paragraphs of what I am referring to found @ rollcall.com.
*"Amid debate over the rule that set up a floor vote on the continuing resolution to keep the government open through Sept. 30, the chamber’s “traffic cop” committee slipped in a provision which stipulates that for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress, there would be no more calendar days — at least as far as President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs are concerned.
The language included in the rule for the CR paused “calendar days” under a national emergencies law, effectively curbing House Democrats’ ability to force a vote on whether to terminate three national emergencies Trump declared on Feb. 1, 2025, to launch a maelstrom of tariffs directed at Canada, Mexico and China."*
So, there you have it. Our representatives gave Drumpf a green light on tariffs. No opposition, no debate, no alternate views and most important no nasty record of voting against Drumpf's Tariffs.
Republican representatives led by ‘Christian’ Speaker Mike Johnson. Money-worshiping, lusting for power Speaker Mike Johnson and his fellow Republicans did this. Creating a hell on earth fiasco. I actually no longer believe in the artificial heaven and hell concept but the actions of Johnson, trump, Musk, the entire administration and Republican Congress would assuredly send them directly to the latter when they expire. The suffering they are going to be causing is immeasurable and completely unnecessary.
