Why were Whitehouse and McConnell against this? I don’t get it. Whitehouse at least. What am I missing?

We The People can use the barter system while we strike (to stop the country) until tRump’s authoritarian regime is purged from our government. If we can use the barter system, even temporarily, it will help us by nearly eliminating our need of money to survive; thus, tRump loses power over us.

Decent #America Deserves To Know! WHY did #Senate Minority Leader #Schumer Agree to a Wednesday Vote Against the #Trump Tariffs-Knowing that #Democratic Senator #Whitehouse Was Not Going To Be There To Vote Against Them?

Like it wasn’t giving to pass a veto. But these things are still essential as forcing Senators / House to put their views out in public. It’s really really important stuff. At least tell people what you were doing instead of your job and why.

He's posted on Fb and Twitter. It's likely on his website too.

Huh. I guess the article was too short. But NYT should have really included it. I guess like WHitehouse they figured it wasn’t actually important because it “wouldn’t pass”.

Call him tomorrow. Or leave a message tonight if there's a voicemail. Staff logs each message, so I've been told.

He’s not my Senator. But maybe since he’s decided his personal interests are more important than the country’s I’ll tell him he’s decided to hurt all of us. He’s a smart guy. A decent Senator. Sometimes I think these people are just way way way to full of themselves.

What the heck is wrong with him? He’s one of those Senators that mostly seems smart but occasionally seems exceedingly stupid. Like why not at least put out some press around. His decision or disposition. Why are Senators so loathe to be political.

I'm not a conspiracy person but it's really strange. FEMA is working on a bunker, rich people are huddling together. Smart people are quiet and the nuts are running the white House. It's a dog and pony show who are the ones in control? It's not the Looney White House, they are a distraction.
