Summary
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) plans to introduce a bill allowing Congress to block presidential tariffs, marking a rare GOP split with Trump amid market fallout.
His bill mirrors the Senate’s bipartisan Trade Review Act, requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of new tariffs and gain approval within 60 days or face expiration.
With Trump able to veto and Republicans controlling Congress, passage is unlikely.
Meanwhile, House Democrats aim to force a vote ending Trump’s tariff-related national emergency, increasing pressure on vulnerable Republicans.
It’s awesome to blame the victims of our own collective fuckwittedness so we don’t have to feel guilt for fucking up a mind-numbingly easy binary decision to a point so bad it will echo a hundred years from now (assuming we still have records).
I’ll happily put blame on the people in power, yes. Especially since i voted those people in.
Maybe if you were American, instead of cosplaying as an angry voter, you’d understand.
