Because trump told them to |
Because they don't think they will need to be accountable to the voters in the future, and passing this bill decimates our government and makes a permant oligarch class. IOW, it moves us close to what Russia is. |
President Trump’s net approval rating has hit a new low in the latest Economist/YouGov poll, taken as he moved to involve the U.S. in conflict in the Middle East.
The poll, which was in the field when Trump announced that the U.S. had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, found Trump’s job performance 14 percentage points underwater, with 40 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval. |
At some point, there have to be some vulnerable GOP senators who will see that this is failed presidency whose agenda will be an anchor on their own political careers, right?
Right???? |
S&P 500 is at an all time high, LA protests have calmed down. If the ceasefire in Iran holds these numbers are going to look much different in a few weeks. Don’t get to cocky Dems. It’s the economy stupid. |
As long as tariffs and the BBB which explode the debt are on the table, the economy will suffer. |
We don't need to be cocky--or do anything at all. We can just sit back and continue to watch the dotard sabotage himself--and endanger the country--due to his incompetence, ignorance, and mental health issues. It is what it is. |
This dotard just had people fawning over him at a NATO meeting and even people like Joe Scarborough are acting like he’s a military genius. The S&P is at all time highs and we’ve collected $75 billion in tariff revenue this year and I have noticed hardly any substantive price changes when I shopping, especially compared to the increases from 2022-2024. At a certain point Americans aren’t going to be able to convinced the economy is in shambles when every indicator says the opposite. And all that matters is the economy. |
Do you think $75B is a lot of revenue? |
He has not actually implemented the tariffs he said he would, so no, the economy is not in shambles. Shrug. |
The billionaires have dirt on 99% of them. |
Stop moving the goalposts. According to PP, tariffs weren’t happening. They are and they’re generating around $150B+/year (more than that probably because they weren’t implemented on January 1), the economy hasn’t tanked, the S&P is at all time highs, and prices haven’t moved that much. Again, everyone here said it would be carnage in April because of these tariffs. When is this economic carnage coming? Give me a date. You can’t because you’re hopelessly wrong about everything. |
