The Supreme Court defended the Constitution by rejecting the use of “emergency” powers to impose taxes. Tariffs are taxes and the power to declare them belongs to the Congress. This goes beyond this case. No future administration, including a socialist one, can use “emergency” powers to get around Congress and tax by decree.
We have what I call “Ted Kennedy Republicans”:
*Weak on Russia & China
*Isolationist
*Government owning shares of companies
*Restricting who buys homes
*Price controls
*Caps on salaries
These are not conservative positions. Populism is not conservative.
@pamelafurr TN doesn't have a state property tax.
Your county and city levies property taxes to fund local government, including emergency services and schools.
It makes no sense to tariff coffee. Americans love coffee & we grow very little of it. This is a tax on the U.S. consumer. Bigger picture, Congress needs to reclaim its Article One authorities over taxes & tariffs. I have proposed legislation to do this. https://t.co/HEtGHXyci9
@PresJohnTyler62@JeremyWingert79@cjpearson Trump would've lost to Obama too. He lost to Biden for crying out loud lol
He was lucky to have been able to run against the two least likable people in the Democratic party in 2016 and 2024. Any one of the Republicans who ran in the 2016 and 24 primaries likely would've won.
@cjpearson A true shame. The party of Mitt and McCain would've never doubled the national debt and destroyed every construct of conservatism we used to hold dear like Trump has.
It's a shame we excuse this mess just because Trump tells us to.
The problem with the left is that they can’t separate the Erika Kirks from the Tucker Carlsons and Donald Trumps in terms of substance and message.
The problem with the right is that the Erika Kirks, Tucker Carlsons and Donald Trumps are sharing the same stage.
This evening, Americans saw two paths they can take. What is notable is that progressives have chosen President Trump's path. They have become what they hate. Erika Kirk, however, presented an alternate path that they, and we all, should consider.
