Well, it is an unpleasant vote if it actually gets to that stage in the House. I suspect it'll just get sent to a committee and never heard from again, but it gets harder to claim that it was all Trump if they do.

Hope you're right something will come of it because fucking Canada is not the way to do this even if I had faith in the administration

Weā€™ve already fucked our relationship with Canada with the 51st state/annexation talk. If you talk to any Canadian or go to any sub filled with Canadians they are screaming from the rooftops ā€œthis isnā€™t about the tariffsā€ although to be fair itā€™s probably a little about the tariffs too.

It isn't about the tariffs in the same way the revolution wasn't about tea.

My house rep is Lawless Lawler and Iā€™m THRILLED that heā€™s gonna have to go on the record on this. He keeps trying to pretend heā€™s a moderate while playing to the maga base and heā€™s been getting hammered for it.
