Heard someone say in Seattle finding a job is like winning the lottery. The job market is just nuts, no one is actually hiring unless its on call or for the upcoming warm months. Its scary out there, only buy stuff you can resell easily if you lose your job.

There’s a lot of layoffs right now because companies don’t want to be stuck with inventory they can’t export.
One building material supplier laid everyone off a month ago. Now they might not re open at all because they sold most of their products in US.

Sorry if you impeach Trump, you would have to impeach Vance. Vance is too much of an idiot. To impeach you need the congress to impeach and then you need the Senate to impeach.
The reality is that both houses are the government, the Presidency is a fiqure head that can do many things to get the ball rolling when the mass of congress and senate are slow.

keep going, the closest thing they got to a normal republican

is Rubio, he's 5th in line I believe

How does that work....since the Senate is part of the Congress ?

Trump Shares Claim He’s Crashing Stock Market ‘On Purpose’ As He Lobbies For Emergency Rate Cut

The president of the United States retweets an utterly fanciful story to explain the market crash. Everyday he seems to provide uniqivical evidence that the world's economy is in the sole hands of a complete idiot.

He usually ensures that his bizarre ideas have an out of some kind. Some kind of excuse. While he continues conflicted claims that the tariffs are here to stay so that they bring back jobs, he also claims that they are negotiable... If things remain bad he can claim that he's negotiated reciprocal tariffs down and bail. Countries with negligible US imports are already aligned to do so.

2 different houses in the congress. 1 house of representatives, and 1 house for the senate. A bill has to go through both houses. I should of said house of representatives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress
Also remember that Trump has veto power over any legislation even if both houses can agree on it. If he Veto’s a bill it goes back and then needs a 60% majority to override the veto. That means for anything to happen a lot more Republicans need to see the light and vote against the orange lunatic.

For a country that opposed a King, they sure made it easy for one man to wield sovereign like power over the nation.
