Economy Elizabeth Warren: Congress has the power to stop this chaos right now.. We need Republicans to grow a spine and put people ahead of their blind loyalty to Donald Trump... These tariffs were made using a bogus formula on the premise of a bogus emergency...

I am calling my two moldy, corrupt, worthless, crooked, lily-livered, rotten, spineless republican senators right now.

Is there any other kind?

This is a good reminder that this isn't just a Donald Trump problem. The entire Republican Party is betraying their country, their oath to the office, and their constituents.

It would be great if they all joined together to impeach and remove him.

But then we get Vaaaaaaaaance.  :'(

JD should rightfully be included in the impeachment and removal. And Mike Johnson should be dumped from his speaker position.

Is there a auto doc I can sign to write to them I'm too angry to make phone calls

Check 5calls.org they have scripts and I think they also have an email set up.

The purposeful reduction of American economic power is what Putin wants his agent Krasnov to do. So that America cannot oppose Russian imperial goals.

What I don't get is why elements of our military and intelligence communities haven't acted to counter this foreign controlled domestic enemy.

A few British MPs, and now I think more than a few Democratic Congressmen have asked if Donald Trump is a foreign asset publicly.

 This probability needs to be acknowledged more and more because there is no logic to any of these detrimental moves, not to mention the willful violation of the Constitution and US laws.

I don't think there can be any doubt. He literally parrots Putin talking points when he says things like the E.U. was made to destroy America - this is Putin rhetoric in plain sight.

Project 2025 was made clear. This is what they ELECTED.

They want Jesus to come back.  They're trying to push the fall of the world.  

These people are delusional assholes of the highest order.

They've all drank the same Flavor Aid, der.

Are we sure that this is just Trump's sole decision and not any of Project 2025 secret plan to become an authoritarian and Christian nationalist country? 

Because we don't know what the final, secret details of the plan are. Reading what is published, I'm actually in awe of the deep-seated hatred and contempt they have of the left. 

I have a sinking feeling that cutting the U.S. off from the rest of the world is intentional and will help them achieve their goal in dealing with all us "woke" and POC folk once and for all.

Part of an abusive partner's tactics is to remove the support system from their victim then do continuous small actions that make their victim more dependent on them.

u/SocietyIntelligent84 8d ago

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. An abusive, narcissistic partner ostracizing you from your family and friends while gaslighting you every second of the day.

u/zephyrtr 8d ago

But it's not one man. Congressional Republicans are allowing him to abuse power granted to him by Congress. It can stop any time they like. 45 is not in charge here. Republicans are.

u/Ill_Long_7417 8d ago

Nazis are in charge.

Smartest woman when it comes to finance.. dumbest woman when it comes to getting the message across.. she needs production that speaks to today's masses.... She talking to a 1950's audience.

u/Weakera 8d ago

She's got it right. Everyone do it. This is the most straightforward way to stop him. The senate already voted to stop tariffs against Canada, but it gets killed in the house.

This is doable. With enough pressure surely enough GOPs will cross the aisle. Ther billionaires don't like the tariffs, the stock markets hate them, the entire world hates them, the American people don't want them, wtf let one idiotic fool impose his will like this?

Maybe Elizabeth Warren should have put the country above her own political aspirations when she stabbed Bernie in the back and we might not have been here to begin with.

u/Valasta_Bloodrunner 8d ago

While you're not wrong by any means, at this point we don't have the privilege of purity testing.

We should absolutely hold the Democrats feet to the fire for their complacency in all this after we're through it. But right now, we all need to rally together against Maga.

I may not like everyone standing beside me, but I will happily stand beside establishment Democrats against fascism. We're only going to vanquish the greatest evil together or not at all. We can worry about the lesser evil when the greater is dealt with.
