Several Us Senator’s from both sides of the political aisle are talking out loud about possibly moving to change America’s move to impose tariff’s on China, Canada, and Europe….
Doing something to take away Donald Trump’s ability to make Economic and Foreign Policy is gonna be a steep mountain to climb….
But it does focus on something that troubles this dog….
We are watching an American President that constantly lies, doesn’t believe the rules of law are for him and is playing for himself and a select band of support in the Grand Ole Party….
Donald Trump’s time in office should be making people worry ( I am) about the lack of checks and balance’s against a President that could be doing things illegal….
A pair of U.S. senators urged Congress on Friday to consider legislation that would rein in President Donald Trump on trade in light of tariffs his administration imposed on imported steel and aluminum.
Speaking to farmers in North Dakota, Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said “maybe we need to rethink” policies that give the president broad authority over international trade. She said Congress has to “assert the role that we have.”
Heitkamp disagrees with the Trump administration’s decision Thursday to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Europe, Mexico and Canada. The action has drawn vows of retaliation from key allies, and threatens to inflate prices for U.S. consumers and companies.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., voiced his displeasure with the tariffs on Twitter. He said he would add his name to the list of co-sponsors of a bill from Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah that would subject the president’s trade actions, including raising tariffs, to congressional approval. Toomey said in a series of tweets that the tariffs “hurt American workers, employers, and consumers.”
“Congress should assert its constitutional responsibility and lead on trade policy so Americans keep access to affordable goods and services, and the opportunity to sell our products abroad,” Toomey said.
Many members of Congress have been outspoken in their opposition to the tariffs. Still, Republicans have been reluctant to pick a fight with Trump when it comes to taking up legislation. For example, Lee’s bill was filed in January of last year and had just three co-sponsors before the administration’s announcement…..
New Thread HERE….
So Trump just asked that Russia be admitted into the G-7. Just listen to those Republicans on Capitol Hill howling in opposition. Not.
And, Mitt Romney said he thinks Trump will be re-elected. I wonder if he focus group tested that statement before he made it. A real profile in courage our Mittster is.
Update from California. There are almost 2.6 million votes that remain to be counted here in California. The vast majority of them from Democratic areas. The primary turnout will come close to, or surpass the General election turnout in the last off-year election. The Mayor’s race in San Francisco is too close to call with at least another 60,000 votes still to be counted. The turnout in San Francisco will reach Presidential levels. So much for the blue wave slowing down here.
Still one Democratic Congressional candidate to be determined in Orange County.
Polls show that most Republicans favor these tariffs,at least for now.
As time goes on and they start to adversely affect them,they may change their minds.
However, Republican Congresspeople who try to reign Trump in on this may face a backlash and this being an election year?They do so at their own peril.
Trump WILL get somethings from his actions….
Of Course there has been protectionism ….
Every country does it….
Most do NOT remember but Democrats actually have complained about this and American jobs….
NOBODY would go about this on such a LARGE BLUNT scale…
“Trump will get somethings from hs actions.”
What does that mean?
There will be some superficial ‘give backs’ on trade….
Historically, the Republican Party (and before them the Whigs), with a strong base among domestic manufacturers and craftsmen, have been the party of high tariffs (with correspondingly higher revenues when direct taxes were only a small part of Federal income), while the Democrats, with a more agricultural base, were the party of low tariffs and frugal government.
As American business became more established and integrated with global markets, its attitudes toward free trade and the tariff also changed. And as the Democrats, rather than the Republicans or Socialists, became the preferred party of industrial labor, the Democrats’ attitude towards tariffs and protection also changed.
Today is the 65th anniversary of the Coronation of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953, something which I’m barely old enough to remember.
And the question of the day?
Who will pay for Kim Jong Uns hotel room?Lets get our priorities straight!
The story is Trump is lavishing the guy with WHATEVER he can to try to get a ‘deal’….
Of course they bill will probably be paid for by us taxpayers on s a security invoice to the GAO

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s poll-tracker shows the New Democrats slightly ahead of the Progressive Conservatives among voters Ontario’s provincial election next Thursday (37% NDP to 36% PC to 20% Liberal & 5% Green).
But the Tories, with a more-favourable geographical distribution of support, are still given a nearly 80% chance of winning a majority of the seats in the Legislative Assembly compared to the NDP’s 8% chance. (The provincial Liberal leader has already conceded defeat.)
Makes the Electoral College look like a model of participatory democracy.

The Ontario Tories’ leader Doug Ford, by the way, is a the right-wing populist brother of the explosive late Mayor of Toronto Robert Ford (1969-2016; in office 2010-2014).

BREAKING: Government says Medicare will become insolvent in 2026, three years earlier than expected, Social Security to follow in 2034.
( Wow!….McConnell says the Senate will stay for August and the above drops?)
The most important issues facing the country in my view.
Seemingly not even on the radar of our President or Congress .
Neither party is doing anything about it either.
What is the most important issue? The potential usurpation of power?
Are you opposed to Social Security and Medicare?
No. With the layout and sloppiness of this site, I just was not sure what you were responding to so I was seeking clarification.
Definitely important issues. I remember Bob Dole and George W. Bush talking about these things in 1996 and 2000 and the Democrat incumbents basically saying that everything was good for now, there was nothing to worry about, and that any attempts at entitlement reform would be too “risky.”
Yes only the Republicans have “talked” about entitlement reform.
It’s really good you’re not atriblaist.
There were Democrats who talked about it and expressed warnings as well. (Tim Penny for example.) Why are you distorting what I said?
Just not the Clinton or Gore campaigns. I can cut and paste lengthy excerpts from the debate transcripts to prove my point if you would enjoy that.
“Tribalist
Unlike the tribalist above, I am in favor of proposals that both parties will oppose.
The retirement age for Social Security must be raised to Seventy Two (from Sixty Two).Democrats won’t like this.
The base on which Social Security taxes must be paid will need to rise substantially.Republicans won’t like this.
The Social Security Disability programs will have to undergo radical reform with some “disabilities” being removed.Neither party will like that.
Medicare recipients will no longer be able to pick their own doctor.Thety will have to go to Doctors willing to accept Medicare reimbursement rates.Neither Party will like that.
Medicare recipients will be charged for going to Doctors for minor illnesses that can be handled by Nurse Practitioners. and PAs.Nobody will like that.
This is only the beginning.
Let the jawnashing begin!,
Those things tend to be non-starters with your party. I can appreciate the fact that you say you disagree with them, but I don’t think you know specifics of what I would or would not support. You should certainly know that I support policy positions on several issues that many Republicans disagree with.
Just a couple of days ago you were saying I was closer to a Democrat than most Republicans and that I would be viewed as a “librul” but now today, I am a tribalist. I don’t think that is accurate.
We have talked about Social Security and Medicare EXTENSIVLY here
Congress is afraid to touch these two programs
Any change in benefit for Social Securiy raises the ire of seniors who WILL come out and vote single issue
There are two Social Security programs
One is the one that ok for over 15 years
The other is probably broke now and borrows I belief from other money in the budget…
Cut’s by way of age will be used by the Democrats against the GOPer’s
I do NOT EXPECT ANY major legislation approved on entitlements before the midterms
No we haven’t talked “extensively.”
I have brought it up a few times and you have always said that nothing will be done.Obviously you have been right.
2026 is a scant eight years away.
All you ever want to know is talk about the past and any idiot can run to google as you do and get quotes to figuratively say,
“See there”
It’s old and boring and I’m not playing your games anymore.If others on here wish to.Good for them.
Lots of people on both sides have “talked” about it.
My point is that since Tip ONeill and Reagan shored up Social Security and Medicare in the Eighties nothing constructively has been down and that includes presidents and cingresses controlled by both parties.
You want to play this silly Tribalist game that you claim to abhor?
Have at it.
I’m not playing anymore.
I have a pretty good memory, especially for events I lived through, having become a political junkie at a young age.
Do you not think I have a good memory?
Bob Dole spoke constantly in 1996 of his role working on the Tip O’Neill Commission and stating the need to do the same for Medicare. It was thoroughly dismissed by the Clint0n-Gore ticket. And then years later, we saw how the Simpson-Bowles recommendations were ignored by another Democrat President.
I did not bring up Bill Clinton on here for the past two days, despite his being very much in the news for his own doing, and I get zero points for that???
So countless posts defending Lee Atwater–who has been dead for 25 years–and now discussion of Bob Dole’s 1996 Presidential campaign.
I guess anything to avoid discussion of the current President’s overwhelming support by Republicans and the blatant lie told by Republican News (aka FOX) about the Philadelphia Eagles today.
Whoda thunk I’d ever be on the Eagles side in anything. Strange Days indeed.
I criticize Trump all the time. I posted about the inaccuracy of the Eagles post on here. What you said about Lee Atwater was simply not true though.
I am not familiar with the Fox component. What did they say? I just know that at another site, people are all upset because Carl Cameron, formerly of Fox News, said that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia through Roger Stone and they are besides themselves because they thought “Campaign Carl was one of us.”
There won’t be a post about it here, because it doesn’t fit the blogmastger’s agenda, but Bill Clinton has been in the news the past couple of days not for anything he did as President but, with the Me Too Movement constantly in the news, because of the cavalier and dismissive and downright Trumpian manner in which he discussed his past behavior and the people he hurt in new interviews this week.
No wonder so many on the Left just want the Clintons to go away and while their apologists here will just avoid the topic altogether.
The Washington Post, hardly a pro-Republican publication (though perhaps not quite as pure as Scott’s go to sources “The Nation” and “Mother Jones”) do a fact check on the “meltdown” that Bill Clinton had yesterday on the Today Show.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/06/05/fact-checking-bill-clintons-meltdown-on-nbcs-today-show/?utm_term=.34114308c47f
CNN on the recent Clinton comments:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/04/politics/bill-clinton-monica-lewinsky/index.html
Is CNN, “fake news?”
No, who said it was?
No post on Clinton because none of the parties said what happened was NOT consenual
What Clinton did was between him the woman and his wife
I have refrained from passing judge on Trump affairs in terms of consent
I have knocked the hands things
I see no reason for Clinton to apologize for his actual actions
I do note that he was tried and not convinced for lying about those actions
As he was tried
So should Donald Trump be also for possible crimes. Thousand times more numerous and serious
Trump is in court to try to silence the woman….
Which is precisely what Bill Clinton also did as President.
Monica Lewinsky has recently said that with the passage of time she questions if the matter of “consent” was even applicable in the situation.
But that’s all irrelevant to the fact that it’s a major political news story this week. But your site, your freedom to ignore what you want.
It is true that Monica Lewinsky hasn’t asked for an apology and,until recently, has stayed pretty much out of the limelight.
Clinton offered a public apology awhile back.
That’s not the same as a personal apology.
While consensual ,Lewinsky wa a young girl at the time and Clinton was the President Of the United States.He was definitely in a power position as regards her.
In my view, he owes her a personal apology .
I think it would probably be too much to ask for him to try to talk to her on the phone, but he should at least write her a personal note of apology. If she chooses to publicize it or not would be on her.
Yes, she had culpability, but the power structure differences between them cannot be ignored. Anybody in the private sector who did what he did would have been fired.
NBC (and the other entities this week that interviewed) Clinton erred by not asking about the women who alleged non-consensual advances or contact by Bill Clinton, in the context of the Me Too Movement. He could have at least gone on record denying them categorically and said that the the women are liars, as Trump has said.
I don’t give a damn about
How much you talk about Bill Clinton.
It’s just another example of how all you want to do is live in the past.
Bill Clinton hasn’t been President in almost Twenty Years.Go ahead, bash him all you want.Meaningless.
The problem is at our doorstep and the solutions do not reside in rehashing these old campaigns.
You seem to be having a tough day. Perhaps a cruise may be in order?
Have one planned in ten days.
I go every year as everyone here knows.
Booked it six months ago so the bad day gambit isn’t applicable.
Bahamas, Virgin Islands, St Kitts.
The timing seems right then. I hope it will be enjoyed.
Hope you have a good time Jack
Always do.
As I am now semi retired ,I hope to go on more than one a year.
Have you ever been on one?
No, unless a riverboat casino counts, and I think they stayed docked. I do not really have a desire to be on water. My four year old niece enjoyed her recent time on the Disney Cruise.
I could use a cruise. But I may just buckle down and work as hard as I can over the summer and head to London in the fall.
I’ve never been to Europe.Always have wanted to visit Russia, land of my forebears.
Next year I plan to cruise to Cuba, that is if Trump doesn’t cut all travel.
Damn Commies!
I spent several weeks in Germany as a college student. Also took side trips to Switzerland, Austria, and the countryside of France as well as the Alpine portion of Italy. Didn’t make it to any large cities outside of Germany though.
It was very much the backpacking kind of trip. Staying with friends and cheap cheap lodging.
In regards to today’s primaries, in California it is likely that Gavin Newsom will advance to the final 2 for California Governor. He will be hoping to face a Republican (a guy I used to know from Cook County), as that will assure his victory, but that would not be as good for the party as a whole.
Trivia question- Who was Gavin Newson’s first wife and who is she now reportedly linked to romantically?
In Iowa, he is not favored to win, but good luck to Democrat Congressional candidate, (officially backed by Bernie Sanders) Pete D’Alessandro, who for a couple years at least was a frequent commenter on Politics1.
Maybe Schultz should consider running for President as an Independent. He makes too much sense on this to make it far very far as a Democrat.

Trump commutes the sentence of 63-year-old woman serving life in prison on drug conviction after being lobbied by Kim Kardashian.
I agree with this commutation.
She had been imprisoned for twenty one years.
I can’t speak to the merits of this particular case, but what we know is that Kim Kardashian went down to the Oval Office, kissed Trump’s sizeable ass, and then he did this, all the while bragging how her husband Kanye West now has him beloved in the African-American community.
Whether this was the right move or not the message is that Trump will do anything for anyone if he is flattered enough. Nobody with that kind of weak personality and psychopathic need for approval should hold any executive office.
Regardless of whether it is constitutional, I am opposed to presidential pardons. Pardons shiulsd not be given for sexual or political reasons (or financial reasons in the case of Clinton).
Zreebs, on a scale of 1-10, how likely might you be to actually vote for Bob Hugin for U.S. Senate in November?
I note from his website that before the primary he specifically spoke out against Trump Administration policy and that his website played that distancing up.
I haven’t read up on Hugin, so it is hard to offer an opinion. If he is a Republican in the Brady, Whitman or Christie mode I would say probably. I briefly looked at his website awhile back and he was incredibly vague on the issues.
Actually Van Jones also praised the move and gave Kushner props, despite his no agreement with almost everything Trump…
I agree he did the right thing

The only “Rudy fan” who might be reading anything here would be NYCMike and I think he gave up.
At one point, at a time we all remember, Giuliani’s national favorable numbers would have been close to 90 percent. Times change. People change. It’s sad in a way, thinking back to the unity we as a country felt after 9/11, but there may even be a medical explanation for him lately.
He was and always has been, a knucklehead
People probably say that about you as well. Especially in NYC.

I really believe there is something wrong with him medically.

It is worth asking how other countries are able to pay for social programs. For example, even the Conservative party in Canada supports government-funded health care.

Romney trolling Trump says Trump will win re-election
Not sure why Mitt even weighed in on this.
He was probably asked. It sounds like he is giving commentary like people on here would. Nowhere did he say he would support the reelection. He has continued to be critical of Trump personally.
If that was his “full analysis” I think it was lacking in several factors. I like it better when Mitt attacks Trump, but I don’t run his campaign and he seems to be too nice of a guy at times for that and is picking his spots.
Talk about grabbing at straws.
Well Jack, Mitt is a famous flip flopper and he is running for office again. He also knows that our Republican President has support from 86% of his Party’s electorate. So, he can count. Now is not the time to disrespect the leader of his Party. His voting record in the Senate will be no different than any other Republican Senator, he will support Trump 95% of the time.
Maybe he was sending a signal to the NeverTrumpers …
If you think I’m going to be a thorn in Trumps side?Forget it.
I doubt it.
He wouldn’t have answered the question last week about Trump as a role model then the way he did.
If he was “trolling” anyone, he was trolling Democrats, (or was expressing his actual thoughts) about how perception of the economy and the weakness of Democrats do make Trump the favorite, as of today, to win a traditional two person race. It’s the same thing I have said.
But the concept that Trump would “easily” be reelected is off base. The country is far too divided.
Romney will support Trump on almost every issue of importance and will offer only the mildest of criticism for his daily foolishness.
He is not going to be aFlake,McCain, Collins ,or Corker.
That was the point.
If you think he is?I think he was sending you and fellow Republicans who share that hopes very clear signal,
I’m on board.
There are lots of “issues of importance” you are not remembering. Tariffs are certainly getting a ton of talk this week and there’s also Russia of course.
Romney will vote the way mainstream Republicans voted pre-Trump, regardless of where Trump is perceived to be.
Mainstream Republicans as you call them have been voting with Trump on all major issues so far and there is no reason to think they won’t continue to.
Romney included.
Your characterization of his statement as some off the cuff remark is inaccurate.
Romney is no commenter on an obscure political blog.He is an experienced politician who well knew how his remark would be ereported.He specifically and purposefully said what he did.
I don’t know how off the cuff his remark is, but his comment that Democrats are likely to nominate someone outside of the mainstream, thus making it difficult for them to win, is one I share.
That is why I think a center-right third party effort will be on the table and it sounds like Romney may agree with that outlook. Since he does speak carefully, it is of course noteworthy that he did not say he would plan to support Trump’s effort for a second term.
More pipedreaming.
Mitt Romney will support the Republican nominee and ,as he says ,he expects that person to be Donald Trump.
He could have easily deflected that question if he wanted to.He didn’t.
I return to my original comment,
Grabbing at straws.
Maybe Romney will deliver the nominating speech for Trump in 2020.
If Romney agreed with your third party idea,
Why did he say that he expected Trump to “easily” be re-elected?
As political junkies, we can at least speculate and read between the lines.
He is perhaps preparing for a time when he can say that “well, the Democrats have no chance to win because they are so far out of the mainstream, so the only hope to stop Trump from winning a second term will be to support an Independent…”
For all we know, maybe he thinks that might even be him.
Of course he knew Jack, and his remark was directed at the Republican electorate that overwhelming supports a Republican President.
Mitt is looking for another political job, and just like he did when he tried for the job of Secretary of State, he will whore himself in any direction necessary to get the job.
After what Trump is doing to both our Allies and Free Trade, Mitt should be ashamed. But not a word of criticism from him on that issue.
Nope, he just thinks Trump will be re-elected.
Mitt’s focus groups must have told him it was safe to say that.
I don’t think Trump remembers his name sometimes
He ain’t gonna remember Romney’s campaign points
Update…..
The Missouri special prosecutor appointed to take over the investigation of Eric Greitens announced Friday that she won’t file any further criminal charges against the disgraced Republican former governor.
The news mean that Greitens, who was previously charged both with blackmailing his then-mistress and with a separate campaign finance violation, is now legally in the clear…..
TPM…..
Whatever may happen in the future starting in 2019 or whenever, Trump went on the record today to call Romney a “straight-shooter.”
And these “mainstream” Republicans would be voting no differently on these specific issues if the President were Jeb Bush, John Kasich, or Susan Collins. In each of these cases, you would still despise mainstream Republicans. They would also be voting the same way if Hillary Clinton were President as well of course.
There are major divides in the GOP though between the traditional wing and the Trump wing on things like tariffs and the role of the U.S. in world affairs. If those matters actually come up for “votes” (and it is the Congressional Leadership that controls that) we will see how the votes play out. There is also a considerable difference between most Republicans in Congress and Trump when it comes to whether or not he is above the law and can pardon himself, etc.
And now we come to the next stage of “grief”..
Can your hyperbole,I “despise” Republicans as much as you “despise “ Democrats.
Yes we will see how the votes play out.
So far?As to Republicans?Overwhelming support for the Trump positions.
I think it is fair to say that you despise Republicans more than I despise Democrats, since you have been at it a lot longer than me and since because I was so driven by the events of 2016 to basically give up on my “side” and for all intents and purposes root for it to lose the Presidential election, and am basically in a state of political ambivalence still about general D vs. R results.
Rest assured that if Mitt Romney at any point expresses personal support or a willingness to cast a vote to elect Trump, I will criticize him just as I have everyone else in the Republican Party who has done so. More so actually.
If Trump called Romney a straight shooter then Romney got what he wanted from the guy….
There was a post out that reported that Trump seems to have eased up on dissing fellow party members before the midterms
Oh good God…
You’re so desperate to change the topic which is Mitt Romney and his statements as to Trump that you now wish to enagae in an inane discussion of who “despises” which party the
“Most?”
It could literally be as simple as james says in regards to Romney wanting Trump on the record heaping praise on Romney, so that Romney has more effect when he “breaks” with Trump in 2019 or whenever.
Again, the general statement as quoted is something that I think a lot of us agree with.
1. Trump is very likely to be renominated
2. People perceive the economy as having improved and that is why his numbers are as high as they are
3. The Democrats are going to nominate someone very much on the left of American political life
I have stTed here
I do NOT believe Trump will serve a second term….
Yeah…
That’s it!
You brought up the comparison first.
You clearly despise Republicans and have for more than 50 years, but that can be mitigated a bit if you vote for the anti-Trump Mark Sanford in November.
As for me, I spent part of this week making a condolence call at a relative’s house, where they had “Proud to be a Democrat” and all sorts of pro-Obama magnets on their fridge and I remained sane.
The Romney for Senate campaign is on the record as opposing the tariffs.
It is worth noting that Romney can win in Utah without Trump’s support. There might not be another red state where Trump is less popular.
Romney shows what he is made of again.
As stated here though?
Romney does NOT desire Trump getting in his shit…..
GOPer’s will and HAVE bucked Trump….
But smart ones do so in groups…
Once again, Steve Kerr for President.
Zreebs is, of course, completely right and focused on the fact that Romney had no, absolutely no reason, to say what he did. He will be elected no matter what, why he would feel it necessary to predict Trump’s re-election is beyond me. He was simply kissing Trump’s ass. He cannot help himself. He is a Mormon version of George H.W. Bush — sycophants who must, absolutely must, curry favor from anyone in power, no matter how odious they might be.
But, I am still waiting for James to point out to us when the Republicans in Congress have every opposed Trump when it counted.
Please tell us James.
Iran Sanctions….
Budget…..
No Obamacare Repeal….
Russian Sanctions….
No real Wall money
That’s FIVE…..
What about the budget did they oppose Trump on?
Obamacare repeal? How did they exactly oppose him on that? How many Republicans voted against repeal? Are you serious?
Russian sanctions? How have we sanctioned Russia James?
Wall money? What are you talking about?
How have they opposed Trump James?
Oh, it looks like that crazy Republican pervert (redundant I know) is posting again James.
