As if they give a shit about other people's coffee.
"don't fuck with my coffee!"
Also beef.
Barely a limit. Only five of them were on board with it.
beef and caffeine addiction smdh
Beeffeine factories in Texas confirmed.
So apparently a coffee or espresso dry rub steak is a thing. As is coca-cola or dr pepper marinade. So yes, you can have caffeinated steak.
Nothing like a hot cup of caffeinated beef stock first thing in the morning.
But it is all but certain to stall in the US House
More meaningless legislative theater. Wake me up when something actually has a chance of getting through both chambers.
No, no, they need to feed you these pretend victories to make you believe action is happening and that is not just one giant grift that they're all in on. Be sure to donate what little you can afford so that these millionaires can continue the fight against injustice!
Ok doomer
The legislation passed in a 52-48 vote, with five Republicans – senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and the former Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky – joining all Democrats in favor.
I wonder which of these Republicans would still vote for this if it weren't an empty gesture.
A gesture, even an empty one, against Trump can have real consequences. He fucking threatened Canada with tarrifs over an ad he didn't like.
So this isn't nothing, even if it's not going to produce the desired outcome.
True, but I still think it's interesting to consider if some of these people wouldn't have been willing to vote for something with consequences. Or if some people who didn't vote for this would have been willing to vote for something with consequences.
Why does this only affect Brazil? Was that a separate "emergency"?
Coffee and beef prices.
And he will simply ignore that. He is King. He no longer cares for what was once "the law".
Cool canada next
Even if it passed the house, wouldn't Trump just veto it?
He’s pretty stupid, might just sign it without thinking and then say they tricked him when Fox News tells him what he did.
