Q: The rule today would block anti-tariff votes in the future. What's the reasoning for that?
MIKE JOHNSON: The president's trade policies have been a great benefit to the country. It's undisputed. I think the sentiment is we allow a bit more runway for this to be worked out.

And this is an age-old revulsion—women attend to bodies and bodily needs, and women attend to *feelings,* and men find this carnal and inferior to intellectual posturing.
Their ideal movement is one that doesn’t really involve *people* except as imagined cinematic crowds, an audience, an army.
