The 6 Republicans who voted to override - here's hoping the GOP loses the majority partially do to ACA, and here's hoping these 6 really enjoy the minority.

Too bad I'm not a constituent - I'd happily vote for the Wokest Democrat over those 6.

Oh well, a win for Big Corporation and Democrats.

Well played.

*But it means consumers save money!* yeah, I know, since the 90s you Corporate Democrats joined your NeoCon buddies, and Americanism became "I buy cheap stuff and I got me a stock portfolio...it's not just those guys in NYC...it's me now!" Well, good for you. Hope you are pleased with the outcomes.

BTW - if you want higher taxes of any sorts, ahem, people pay....but that's ok isn't it.

Hey wait Brian Fitzpatrick is one of them!

I was already gonna vote Democrat here over ACA and I dont even know anything about Harvie if he's gonna be the dude.

Now, this is one more reason.

Doesn't matter. Trump the Most Perfect and Wonderful will veto it.

Trump threatens ‘consequences’ for Republicans who voted against tariffs on Canada

https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/trum...

Typical vindictive "JC"

The Swiss are getting it too.

Trump says he raised Swiss tariffs after leader’s call: ‘I didn’t really like the way she talked’

Cool. But I'm not obsessed with "Trump" like the people who helped him win twice.

I want parts of TrumpISM beaten.

I focus on the goal.

Not on the personalities.

But - -I easily see why Republicans have beaten Democrats in some years where I thought we should've lost.

IF I get weak in 2028, and actually want America to do well, the hardest part for me will be watching Liberals try to hurt the Democratic ticket.

C'mon guys, you got 2000 and 2004. You got 2016 and 2024. You had a nice break in 2020, you got just enough for Biden to win and do some good stuff, but you didn't get enough to where Biden didn't have to kiss Manchin's ass but still, a win.

Maybe in 2028, send Trump his consulting fee back.

Try to defeat him...... and then for extra credit, try -- to get a win that gives you the mandate to govern.

Dan Newhouse is from WA state. He's retiring anyway. After he voted to impeach Trump he had to fight off a strong primary challenge (he's in a very red district) but now he probably doesn't give a crap.

He's like a lot of libs: oh, they move their mouths when it comes to "helping the middle class" and all that but when the rubber meets the road all their care about is Getting Trump.

Take his district. He represents WA-4 which means he has ranchers and farmers - lots of ranchers and farmers. You'd think he'd be sensitive to foreign beef and milk quotas on American goods but Nah. Hating Trump is his higher calling.

Useless.

Obviously, you are NOT aware of US beef SHORTAGES caused by Spankee for years.

Bringing DOWN those prices:

We will let YOU explain how it gets done. I have posted the answer previously, so you should know it AND be able to recite it back to us.

Go ahead, make our day.

Fitzpatrick is one of the swing-est districts in one of the swing-est counties in the swing state.

Drive from home to the shopping center -- - you will see Bentleys, LandRovers, a Lambo (grrrr I hate you) and you'll see work trucks, and you'll see "Coexist" bumper stickers, yoga places for the Fake-Namaste people, all of that stuff. It's a 50-50 on many days.

Sadly, I'll vote against him this time around and I dont consort with as many people as I used to, but I'll make it known I'm doing it and why. He's well established so I feel it'll really take a wave for him to lose


After being Republican a long time, Wifey now volunteers every few months for local Democrats to stuff envelopes, make calls, etc.

I keep asking her - can I pick her up and drop her off? She said "NO!!!!! You'll do the Jedi stuff to them"

LOL

And what has Trump the Most Perfect done for USian beef producers?

Trump signs executive order quadrupling beef imports from Argentina

Because benefiting his cronies is "Job #1", as long as he can keep his base distracted with bigotry.

Or how about we Americans eat more beef and not let a valuable ally go bankrupt?

Canada has been a far better ally than Argentina ever was, but look at how Trump the Most Perfect is crying a river about what a "victim" the US is.

Russia? China? North Korea?

Dope once again publicly documenting why beef prices are so high and CAN NEVER go down. A farmer he/she ain't. More akin to natural fertilizer....

Hmm. The Candadians
-barely contribute a nickel to their own defense
-bash us at every turn
-openly say that the trade imbalance that hurts American farmers is needed to keep them afloat

With friends like that...
