Why not just leave more stuff up to Congress to decide?






"Now if Biden had thought of this tariff thing, the Democrats in Congress would think this was the greatest thing since canned beer. But all Biden could think about was naptime. But Trump? With all the epidemic TDS going around Washington? Tariffs have become like treason with the Democrats. If they could impeach Trump (again) for tariffs - they would."



Ha! That is a good one Bird! Currently, the Congress (both houses) are almost evenly split. And with all the parlor games which have evolved over the centuries, Congress can blather on for days, weeks, whatever. And to leave the declaration of war up to Congress? By the time this group of clowns get done with a filibuster, all that would be left of America is a smoking ruin.

How bad is it really? During the time of Barry Obama, when for a short time he had a veto proof Democrat Congress, he could have had them pass every wacky new gun law they could imagine - and they did squat. They had the Republicans by the short hairs (as the expression goes), and they did nothing. When it comes to ordinary matters, Congress is sub-par. When it comes to extraordinary matters, Congress is worthless. 

According to Democrat judges, Congress is supposed to adjudicate tariffs - not the President. Can you imagine just for a second, where we would be on this entire tariff issue if Congress was pulling the levers instead of Trump? Let me put it this way - to put leverage on all the countries which have been screwing us on trade, well, that leverage would be gone. We would continue getting screwed on trade - big time. 

Now if Biden had thought of this tariff thing, the Democrats in Congress would think this was the greatest thing since canned beer. But all Biden could think about was naptime. But Trump? With all the epidemic TDS going around Washington? Tariffs have become like treason with the Democrats. If they could impeach Trump (again) for tariffs - they would.

The Democrats had a performative issue not too long ago called, "No Kings". Most of the Democrats who participated were from Congress. Here is the irony - with how worthless Congress has made themselves, maybe we do need a king instead of a president. Blasphemy? Sort of. But the system we have now works nothing like Washington, Franklin, Jefferson or Adams envisioned. Just sayin'...
