      Better late than never. Instead of criticizing then for it, we should be encouraging it

        Except it’s on purpose that they’re only doing so now that it’s too late.

        They’ve known for years that, should he be allowed to infest the White House again, the Mango Mussolini would institute tariffs again, but still they supported him wholeheartedly, only to pretend to take a principled stand the day after most of them come into effect.

        It’s pure posturing from two career invertebrates who have made a career of the basest demagoguery and political fraud.

            If you bribe Trump, sure, but they’ve already done tremendous damage to both the US and the rest of the world. Can’t roll that back.

                I’m saying that their empty posturing won’t convince him.

                Especially since he knows they’ll cower the moment he lobs a mean tweet equivalent their way.

                  What will convince him, then? I think Republicans speaking out against tariffs is the only thing that possibly can

                    Already told you so: bribes. Maybe flattery and groveling from foreign leaders.
