To anyone who says we shouldn't be pressuring Democratic members of congress to fight, I only have this to say - the oath they took did not say "...to protect and defend the Constitution the next time we're in the majority."

It used to be considered a scandel for a president to fire two or three people a day. Now we have a traitor who goes around firing every loyal American who won't bow down to him.

That’s depraved indifference to the welfare of the American public in order to save his political career.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Not all Republican members of Congress are dumb.
They can see which way the wind is blowing.
They know they have a limited time to fleece taxpayers and maximize their net worth before they’re kicked out of office, because they serve themselves, not the public.
