Congress literally circumvented a rule that would normally force a vote on tariffs within a certain number of days by saying "calendar days don't exist in regard to trump tariffs"

Yep. They are pussies, allowing the destruction of the country all for personal ambition. Good luck with that ambition when the country falls apart. That's like allowing a fire to spread in a hotel that you allow because the arsonist is the regional manager and wants to burn down the hotel. You're allowing it cuz your trying to maintain your manager job. But without the hotel, what the fuck are you going to manage?
