Trump pushed through tariffs against Canada using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a law which congress stupidly passed in 1977 and is now being exploited. The supposed justification is Fentanyl and, if that justification doesn't work, he'll fall back on "national security". Fentanyl definitely is a BS excuse. He knows it, we know it, everyone knows it. But he's using it to give himself legal justification for the tariffs. National security is a more solid legal justification, but you can only reasonably use it as grounds for SOME tariffs. Probably steel and aluminum, and maybe automobiles, for instance.

Yes, the senate voted for the resolution to remove tariffs from Canada, but the tariffs would only be revoked if the House also votes in favour of that resolution, which seems unlikely.
I wonder. It would only take a few defections in the house.

You wonder why Americans are so stupid? Just check out Fox News.

They are still telling their audience this is just a small set back. :ROFLMAO:

Yup. The level of stupid here is sky high, due mostly to bumpkins believing everything they hear on Fox News and read on Facebook. Republicans have capitalized on that stupidity (in addition to the hate and fearmongering). It's why these assholes are making so many cuts in education. They need a stupid, misinformed, gullible populace for their political survival.
By the way, why hasn't @mitchell76 chimed in lately?
