Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Think about how mentally ill this entire scenario is for a second... Congress voted to deny king fascist from doing something he never possessed the ability to do in the first place. Like, his executive orders about tariffs are supposed to be completely ignored, yet businesses and the government have been illegally collecting tariffs anyway, because a pathological liar lied and declared a "national emergency".
The USA is a lawless, failed state ass, corporate klepto dictatorship masquerading as "democracy"...
America isn’t, the Republican Party is
No America is the Republican party is a symptom of the rot. And so are the Democrats they never undo all the republicans do so it is a slide to the right always.
Yeah, painting is easy when you're using a brush the size of the wall.
The MAGA party that swallowed the Republican party
A lot of people are going to need deprogramming. Make it easy on them
I really hope we get to that point. But we are trending the wrong fucking way for that right now.
The whole democratic world is sliding right.
I think the Internet was a mistake. I blame it.
Social media was certainly a mistake. And yet, here we are.
America is what America does, not what America conveniently claims to be.
Not to distract from the importance of your point, but due to the layout of your message I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out how you made letters extra thin.

So what's going to happen when Trump vetoes this?
Kicked back. Overruled by 2/3 supermajority in house+senate.
Given that the EO exceeded branch powers in the first place, that there is now blood in the water, and considering how unpopular this additional sales tax is becoming among both consumers and business owners, it’s not impossible that votes would flip to overturn.
In that case, however, expect another EO to preempt the result by yet again reversing tariffs for specific cases.
All of this back and forth takes time. We won’t be completely rid of tariffs until the 2026 midterms, at the earliest, and that is only if a supermajority of “Demoncrats” and “RINOs” are elected, unfortunately.
Businesses could revolt and stop collecting tariffs in anticipation of this, but it’s a risk they probably won’t take, because they’re all afraid of Trump.
