Piece of shit RINOS Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski all voted against President Trump again to stop tariffs that are bringing a lot of needed money into our government, which can be used to start paying off our out-of-control debt. MAGA Patriots need to FINALLY do the right thing and get rid of the worthless piece of shit RINOS, who have been working and voting with the democrat criminals, against President Trump and the conservatives, to resist America’s progress under republican leadership.
Worthless butthurt Beta male assholes, like Rand Paul, should be the first to go!
Five Senate Republicans joined their Democratic colleagues to end President Donald Trump’s emergency powers underpinning his Brazil tariffs on Tuesday over the objections of Vice President JD Vance, who urged his fellow Republicans to back the president’s trade agenda.
Senators voted 52 to 48 on the resolution to block the president’s Brazil tariffs with every Democratic lawmaker voting in support of the measure. The resolution is one of three measures introduced by a handful of Senate Democrats and Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul seeking to terminate the president’s tariffs on Brazil and Canada, as well as his 10% global tariffs levied on many U.S. trading partners.
Senate Democrats and Paul are expected to force votes on toppling the Canada and universal tariffs later this week. The trio of resolutions require just a simple majority vote to pass, meaning just a handful of Republican “yes” votes are needed to overturn some of Trump’s tariff agenda.
The votes, however, are largely symbolic since House Speaker Mike Johnson is not expected to take up the resolutions.
“Brazil had a trade surplus, and the impetus behind it appears to be a disagreement with a judicial proceeding,” Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, one of five Republicans who supported the resolution, told reporters on Tuesday. “I just don’t think that’s a strong basis for using the trade lever.”
When asked if the president was overstepping his authority to implement the tariffs, Tillis said, “I don’t think there’s a rational basis for it.”
Paul, a vocal supporter of free trade, declared that Trump’s tariffs were “unconstitutional” on Tuesday and argued the national emergency declaration to impose tariffs on Brazil was “contrived.”
“The Senate is compelled to act because one person in our country wishes to raise taxes without the approval of the Senate, without the approval of the House, without the approval of the Constitution,” Paul said on the Senate floor prior to the vote.
Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also crossed party lines to terminate Trump’s Brazil tariffs.

Vance implored Senate Republicans to vote against the resolutions seeking to block the president’s tariffs on Brazil, Canada and other countries.
“The point that I made to my Republican colleagues, recognizing there’s a diversity of opinions about it, is that the tariffs give us the ability to put American workers first,” Vance told reporters after meeting with Senate Republicans for a lunch meeting on Tuesday. “They force American industry to reinvest in the United States of America instead of a foreign country. They’re also incredible leverage for the president of the United States in negotiating these trade deals overseas.”
