If that ensures gridlock and maybe reels in some of Trump’s worst impulses with a Congress that could impart meaningful oversight, that’s not the worst thing

My mother's political philosophy was that it is best if the president and the majority in congress are different parties. She was an old school Republican.

Well if Republicans would get off their arse and pass bills and codify laws, this wouldn't be an issue. It's all their fault, really.


GOP haver about 5 senators who are wishy-washy = playing footsie with the Dems under the table.

DEMs have 99% (all except sometimes Fetterman) who would vote to slit the throats of your children if told to do so.

DEMs have only ONE articulable agenda = STOP TRUMP!!! (hinting at killing him)

As far as any reference to tariff revenue is concerned, the numbers don’t add up. Much of the money has already been refunded to affected businesses. And in order to fund this silly, goofball bribe, the cost will be in the trillions.

Every day gives us another comedic jewel. I’ll give Trump that much…

Oh no they threaten liberal cities that the middle east and north korea have threatened for 50+ years. They have no way to deploy a nuke if they even made one. And if they did manage to pull it off maybe the majority of the left would recognize that we shouldn't be letting middle easterners into our country.

A lot of people would probably just blow it at Fanduel or Kalshi.

TLDR: Mexico ( and Canada, and Germany, etc…) is going to pay for it.

Both.

But seriously, what's another trillion dollars on top of an already 40 trillion dollar deficit?

We're absolutely screwed and no one in Washington wants to fix it. The US will be speaking Mandarin by 2050. Thankfully I'll be dead.

Letting citizens keep more of their money is causing the entire left (and some on the right) to completely melt down. It is bizarre.

It won't be going to Leftards so you don't need to worry about it.

He is saying that the republicans will pass a bill that provides the funds. It’s amazing how so many people have no clue about that.

Don’t Republicans control Congress and the Presidency right now? Why wait?
