• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The national emergency law lays out a fast-track process for Congress to consider a resolution ending a presidential emergency, requiring committee consideration within 15 calendar days after one is introduced and a floor vote within three days after that. But the language House Republicans inserted in their measure on Tuesday declared that, “Each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day” for the purposes of the emergency that Mr. Trump declared on Feb. 1.​

There are many Republicans that have opposed tariffs for their entire careers. A majority of voters think that tariffs will raise consider prices (duh!), including many who have strongly supported their rep for years. Republicans do NOT want to vote on tariffs.
==========
As far as how bad the effect can be, we'll know a lot more after Trump unveils his April series of tariffs.

As an aside, congrats to Trump for helping the Canadian liberals, the Mexican president and Zelenskyy drive up their popularity numbers beyond any level they might imagine.

I do believe that deals will eventually be made with Canada and Mexico, but the results will be much worse that simply negotiating changes to THE BEST DEAL EVAAH that Trump made with then last time he was in office.
