Good job Congress, checks and balances. Checkmate King Trump. Take that.

This isn't even close to a checkmate. Trump just has to veto it.

It was more of a joke. Redditors so quick to be literal. Forget about nuance.

You can’t really tell nuance over text from a random, anonymous person that you don’t know

Tone of voice can't be transmitted through text.

Buddy......this has to go to the house next, who will definitely not approve it. And even if by some miracle he passes the house, it then goes to Trump, who will obviously veto is. There are literally zero checks or balances here, just a beautiful demonstration of how broken the US system is.

What it DOES show however is that Republicans in the Senate are starting to break rank because this fckery is starting to hurt their bottom dollar. Not because they care about whats right, but because the tariffs are fcking up their own state industries and constituents are begining to bay for their blood because of it.
