As I watch the "negotiations" between Democrats and the Reich Wing over, basically anything,

I'm reminded of this story.

One brother says to the other. I will give you 20 bucks if you let me crack 3 eggs over your head.

The younger brother says, "sure why not."

The older brother smashes the first egg on his brother's head and lets out a bellow. The younger brother is embarrassed but eyes the 20 dollars. The brother smashes the second egg and laughs even harder. The second brother is humiliated, and also remembers he has his favorite shirt on, which is now a mess. But he continues to see the 20 dollars in his future.

The brother grasps the third egg and is ready to smash. He suddenly places it on the table and walks away.

No third egg. No 20 dollars for the messy, quite the chump, brother.

Dems, don't fall for the third egg. Or any of the others.
