Trump claimed that he's "taking the high road" by not meeting with top Democrats to discuss the next

[Nexus2]

House Democrats and the White House have made no progress on a potential deal as tens of millions of Americans remain on unemployment and the U.S. death toll approaches 190,000. “I don’t need to meet with them to be turned down,” Trump told reporters. “They don’t want to make a deal because they think if the country does as badly as possible... that’s good for the Democrats.” He added: “I am taking the high road. I’m taking the high road by not seeing them.” The Senate, meanwhile, returned from its August recess with no indication of progress on a relief package, making a bipartisan compromise before the election unlikely.

1. What a spinner!

[mr_lebowski]

2. That is, simply put, the exact fucking opposite of taking the high road ...

Of course I'd be entirely unsurprised to find out that the man has literally no clue what 'the high road' even means.

5. And when he finds out, he'll say

"A lot of people don't know what that means. Actually, I invented the saying."

And then he'll try to mansplain it to us.

7. Exactly! nt

6. Its farcical when you consider...

The Democratic Part stands ready to allow the Republicans to send out thousands of dollars to almost everyone in the US, likely with Trump's name on the checks 2 mths before the election... and they DON'T want to this since it would mean agreeing with Dems and they've suddenly remembered the deficit?

8. That too ... it's a fucking joke all up and down (nt)

9. In a few weeks, we will tell him "Hit the road, Jack"

[mr_lebowski]

10. And you won't be able to wipe the smug smile off my face for like 2 weeks when that happens ...

11. I'll be smiling for years.

Just as I've been seriously screwed up since 2016. The worm will turn.

12. Sounds great to me!

I am not sure my liver is going to recover from the first 3 years ... that's how long it took me to climb back OUT of the bottle.

However, if we lose in November I'm crawling back into it, and going all Nic Cage in Leaving Las Vegas.

Not joking either.

3. Democrats hold firm, no talks without the president.

Place it on his shoulders and wait it out.

4. No, that's just plain being a dick.

13. Do they let golf carts on the high road?
