A group of Republican senators voted along with Democrats on Wednesday for a resolution to undo President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump.

The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate and doesn’t have the force of law, but its 51-48 passage is unwelcome news for the president on the very day he announced a host of new tariffs.

Paul says “tariffs are taxation without representation”! He might want to check with the Founding Fathers on that one. A sad, sad day for Rand.

But taxing US Corporations is fine right Paul.

[God luvs America]

yet it was his father who was against NAFTA and all these “free trade” agreements because he knew they were BS and America would get screwed...

remember, “hear that sucking sound”...

[antidemoncrat]

The Divas sing their arias again and sink the Republican Party’s progress again. I’m beginning to beloeve the Republicans cannot truly governs as the Democrats claim.

Maybe we need new house and senate members who aren’t so invested.

Paul says “tariffs are taxation without representation”! He might want to check with the Founding Fathers on that one. A sad, sad day for Rand.”

Yup tariffs were how the government raised money until the income tax

Four Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) — voted for the measure.
....

When you get clumped in with exclusive Swamp R team Collins,Murkowski and McConnell exclusively, you’re the same Swamp scum..

[McGavin999]

Paul is in great company, smarmy Murkowski, Worthless Collins, and the ancient turtle. Does that make you proud Rand?

[Jane Long]

But taxing US Corporations is fine right Paul.

No kidding!

Not a good look, at all, Rand.

   The usual group of backstabbers.

[Justa]

Don’t be so naive. It’s BRIBERY plain and simple.

FOREIGN NATIONS BRIBE US POLITICIANS TO SUPPORT THEIR TARIFFS AGAINST THE US.

THAT IS ALL IT IS.

[bray]

It was a useless act.

[Agatsu77]

F-ing scum!

[italianquaker]

Kabuki theatre

[DarthVader]

It didn’t matter because Canada capitulated.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Rand can go piss up a rope on this one. The reciprocal tariffs are leverage to induce free trade by forcing other countries to lower their own tariffs.

[Jeff Chandler]

hear that sucking sound

Wasn't that Ross Perot?

[Red Badger]

That was Ross Perot................

[delchiante]

I see Anti MAGA Swamp scum in Collins,Murkowski and McConnell - consistently..

Your mileage can vary

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I'm pretty much have had my fill of holier than thou virtue signaling Losertarians.

OK, Rand. We get it. Now go away.

[Manic_Episode]

Oh well. VETO.
