The U.S. House voted Wednesday to slap back Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, a rare, if largely symbolic, rebuke of the White House agenda.

The U.S. House voted Wednesday to slap back U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, a rare, if largely symbolic, rebuke of the White House agenda as Republicans joined Democrats over the objections of GOP leadership.

The tally, 219-211, was among the first times the House, controlled by Republicans, has confronted the president over a signature policy.

The resolution seeks to end the national emergency Trump declared to impose the tariffs, though actually undoing the policy would require support from Trump himself, which is highly unlikely. The resolution next goes to the Senate.

    So let me get this straight.

    He unconstitutionally declares an emergency and imposes tariffs.

    The house can then vote it’s not a real emergency.

    Then Trump gets to veto it?

    Fucking asinine calvinball system.

    ABS I won’t forget that the republicans basically all voted against my country.

    I mean when Trump enacts tariffs because of the tone someone took with him, there is no actual plan in place. This is just a rapist trying to look tough. He’s a dodge drafting coward.

    I’d even wager that the KGB and Mossad have collectively grabbed him by the pussy.

    Oh, wait… we’re still pretending that the House isn’t a neutered limp-dick do-nothing branch of our government?

    I meant….

    YAAAAAAY.
