Vice President JD Vance late Wednesday cast a tie-breaking vote to kill a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s tariffs in the Senate.

Vice President JD Vance traveled to Capitol Hill late Wednesday to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate that killed a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s trade policy.

Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked Trump’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order the president is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49.

    The main concerns I have is access to my ADHD medication because of that nut job Kennedy.

    I mean yeah? That’s already a concern without Kennedy making a list if neurodivergent folks and checking it twice.

    Anyways, what will you do if someone comes to take your shit? Like anyone, no one in particular. People have guns here.

      I have a father who I care for who was a sniper in Vietnam. If a mother fucker would. I wave a few layers installed. But nothing beats the special forces guy I knew. Who gave his gram a rocket launcher for her home in the ghetto of Wilkes-Barre. Wild surprise. But I’m not that worried with where I live for that to happen. I have security systems installed. If anything people will get really great videos for YouTube. Of me going ham with my bare hands. I’ve done bar security in military towns. I know where I stand if someone wants to come through that door or window. But I also don’t go looking for problems.

          I doubt my area in Silicon Valley is going to suffer like other regions. We have the Oakland docks here. We have the San Francisco docks. We get access to the massive agriculture in our region. I drove through the Watsonville farms today. Selling everything they grow on the road side. Grabbed some delicious honey from a honey dude. I doubt we’ll suffer like the North East. Who can’t farm year round. Or the Midwest who only grow specific crops. We have everything we need.

          Also I am ex DoD. If anyone wanted to fuck with me. I’ll just call in some favors with some buddies that were operators. They owe me one.
