    The US is just as toxic as China these days. Give them nothing until they come on bended knee offering concessions that their congress is willing to enforce, because without someone in the loop who can prevent Trump from going back on his word, any agreement with them is worth less than the Sharpie it was signed with.

      Gonna be real here, he’s doing shit regardless of what congress says. Regardless of what the courts say. And No one is stopping him.

        A lot of people still think this can be resolved peacefully. I think it’s naive at best, but we’ll see what gives first. Trump’s most trusted and loyal henchmen, or people’s belief that there’s something good left in the republican party, ‘cause that’ s what a peaceful resolution will depend on. Nothing will change even if every democratic official grows a spine. At this point, everything hangs on Trump’s inner circle.
