Trump, speaking before Congress last night about tariffs:

"So, despite the disappointing ruling, these powerful countries saving, is saving our country the kind of money we’re taking in, peace protecting — many of the wars I’ve settled was because of the threat of tariffs, I wouldn’t have been able to settle them without — will remain in place under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes. And they have been tested for a long time. They’re a little more complex, but they’re actually probably better — leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before. Congressional action will not be necessary. It’s already time-tested and approved. And as time goes by, I believe the tariffs, paid for by foreign countries, will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love."

*Congress responds with applause*

Any Congress that's willing to cede their power to tax and raise revenue to the executive is not worthy of being called a coequal branch.

"Congressional action will not be necessary"

it -is- by law that he's now (ab)using, but we have decided he doesn't need to obey laws i guess (or at least we have to go thru a years long court process to determine the obvious)

"the tariffs, paid for by foreign countries"

We have a legislature?

The current group has taken the "do nothing Congress" label and run with it.

He fucked up with immigration policy....hard.

Build a wall, secure the border, war with cartels.

But I cant see how any self respecting small government Rightwinger can support ICE in its current form.

He may love his legacy enough to not start a ME forever war.

Venezuela seems to be going well, time will tell.

Cuba....who knows.

Stick to the Americas.
