This is not going to stop my boycott.
Absolutely important to keep boycotting, even if things go back to “normal” if only to show that this stupidity has real world costs.

Even if things go back to normal the US has shown us that they are unstable

For me, surreal currently. Live in a somewhat more rural area. But surrounded by racist hateful zombies.
Every time I hear somebody having a conversation in a foreign language, I get a wave of fear in my heart. For their safety. The violence hasn’t reached my hometown yet, but I know it’s coming.
My father and I were estranged by the rest of my brothers; but now I must turn my back on him for the safety of my own family. He’s lost. A whole life eagerly internalizing the hateful rhetoric of the Republicans. I’ve done my best, let him be a part of my life for as long as I can. But he is a danger to my children.
I’ve seen through the charade to the festering evil underneath all my life. But have never found the means nor opportunity to act against it, as I definitely was not born into wealth. So I do my best to focus on the small things, to find the good where I can.
In short, it fucking sucks.
Also American. Being a minority (specifically trans) is fucking scary here right now, and it’s depressing knowing how many people see us so negatively now. Rightfully so, but as someone who lives closer to Canada than the next closest state, it’s saddening how much we’ve hurt our friends and neighbors.
Trump will veto this if it gets through congress.
There’s zero chance this does anything. But it’s a nice reminder the Republicans are morons.
Oh, absolutely, I’m thinking in terms of future administrations and such. (Assuming free and fair elections actually happen.)
Anyone who is smart enough to be part of the boycott isn’t dumb enough to stop it over this.
I wouldn’t worry about that. Getting by presidential veto requires a two-thirds vote.
Oh, absolutely. I’m thinking in terms of future administrations and such. (Assuming free and fair elections actually happen.)
Won’t stop me from boycotting. It’s going take the US decades to recover from all the shit the cheeto stained pedophile felon has done.
Still want this on a hoodie. Like…so sooooo badly.
219-211. That spread makes this vote meaningless, because almost HALF of our former ally’s Congress wants this to continue.
CONGRESS has the “power of the purse”. I don’t care what Republicans ignore, or what the Supreme Court lets him get away with, that’s literally in the Constitution. PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN’T UNILATERALLY DECIDE TARIFFS!
Enjoy your little dream world.
Ya trump can literally do whatever tf he wants. Who’s gunna stop him?
So who is going to stop him from enacting them anyway?
Right here is why I do not care about their House vote.
Or even if he chooses to follow it took them a year for 6 Republicans to vote.
He’ll just start some other bullshit while they twiddle their thumbs again

Unfortunately - we don’t really do “no confidence” votes for the president here. Unless he’s impeached and removed for something truly awful and illegal (not sure what else he can do that’s worse than what he’s already done, but maybe I lack imagination), we’ve got years more to go of this shit.

It’s a good gesture but they need 2/3 of the Senate to overturn the EO. Not holding my breath.
Only solace is that a lot of red state Senators will be putting party over constituents and hopefully ruining their reelection chances.
As a Canadian, I appreciate the gesture, fuck no I’m not stopping my boycott and I’m not going to travel to your fucked up country.
Doesn’t matter - the syphilitic dementia patient has veto power.
Dear Canada, please boycott us harder.
