Summary
Ted Cruz warned that Trump’s tariffs could trigger a GOP “bloodbath” in the 2026 midterms, citing inflation and market fallout as major risks.
On his Verdict podcast, Cruz criticized tariffs as taxes on consumers and urged they be short-lived.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 plunged nearly 10% over two days. Senator Rand Paul and others echoed concerns, with Paul warning tariffs could add $5,000–$15,000 to car prices.
Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced a bill requiring congressional approval of tariffs within 60 days or automatic expiration.
Like there will ever be another actual untampered with election.
Wouldn’t that be nice if it were true.
How?
Nobody on the left is really working to spread any messages. A few comments per person isn’t doing shit. Seems like the most that can be mustered is a little property damage. Any voice that stands up to help spread ideology gets targeted by the right and knee capped. The mind blowing thing is the right actively hide online among the left convincing them to knee cap these people. I just saw a post a few weeks ago shitting on Jon Stewart here.
How exactly are they going to lose against a neutered and apathetic opposition
If we give Cancun Ted the benefit of the doubt (something I am loathe to do for any MAGA Nazi), then perhaps he is truly warning HitlerPig of the electoral consequences of this economic folly.
In reality, I am 100% positive that HitlerPig will hear it as a call to suspend the mid-term elections.
Donvict Dementia is concerned with pleasing Daddy Vladdy and golfing. He cares not for Texas or Americans, Raphael.
Please let a literal bloodbath consume the Republicans
Again, Republicans are worried about their own jobs and power, not about any of the problems of the working American family, the average white fucking American family that voted for this btw.
Although you are correct, this is no different than most Democrats, as well. I mean the Dems spent $10 million paying influencers on TikTok to vote for them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JytdxpsJdLQ
Also, to be fair, a large chunk of minorities, larger than last election’s, also voted for Trump. So take it easy there on the race blaming, unless you want to blame minorities, as well.
It dont matter to this mf, t*xas will still elect republicans, republicans can kill their dogs, send their kids to the mines and rob them for all they have and they would STILL vote for them to own the libs.
The people of Uvalde reelected the sheriff that let all those elementary students be murdered and tortured.
Please let this blubbering shitbag be included in that bloodbath.
Elections… ha! Obviously Trump is keeping him outside the loop on future plans.
🤞
Stop it Rafael, I can only get so erect.
His big worry is re-election, not the people this will hurt.
I’m glad to see that people here aren’t reveling in looming economic disaster just because it might mean that their team gets to be in power.
In a properly designed and functioning system, reelection and caring about the people should go hand in hand. Stop caring, treat them like crap, someone gets to replace you.
We are not in a well designed, well functioning system.
And the people are still cheering him on, swinging their fat fists, because they don’t want to lose to the blue team.
doesnt matter if you’re a reptilian that migrates to cancun to shed your skin.
In the elections, right?
I’m going to go devils advocate here… first Rand Paul, now Ted Cruz. When things break they’ll break quick, and as distasteful as both of these guys are, they’re not the dumb ones like Grassley, Bobert, or MTG. They smell something in the wind or they wouldn’t have the courage to speak out. Could we be witnessing the beginning of a schism?
Yup. I phoned my friend just to say I called it too
Musk spent 10s of millions on a state supreme Court election, like 10x the campaign spending of the other side, and lost
If musk and Trump can’t influence elections, their threats of primarying anyone who steps out of line is empty. Their support won’t save their seats either
People are so angry they can’t even appear in public without being screamed at… And what happens the next day? Trump destroyed the global economy single handedly and went golfing
There’s some true believers… But mostly, Republicans are going to do what keeps them in power. And the Trump-Elon power couple isn’t it… Even the media has started to back away from propogandizing their actions
Even if you’re right this movement is far from critical mass yet. I’m thinking at least one month will have to pass before there is enough pressure for Congress to even vote on taking back the tariff power .
True, and a lot of damage would be done in that time too.
