You know that the president, McConnell and Ryan didn't really want the Dems at that meeting!

They want to blame the Dems for this mess!

1. How do you shut down the government, while harming 85% of the public permanently

and in many cases killing them or making them permanently homeless, and look like you are the good guys?

In America, you just do it, say the truth is lies, and presto!

2. And McConnell if flat out lying (surprise, surprise)...

...when he said he couldn't ever remember turning down a White House meeting. I distinctly remember him and John Boehner being "too busy" to meet with President Obama.

3. Exactly!

I about fell out of my seat, when I heard that!

[Wellstone ruled]

4. McConnell loves to play his game.

He made statements after the Election,to the effect,we will not vote for any of Obama's nominees and we will pass a Major Income Tax overhaul Bill without the Democrat Party. Notice I used his Democratic Party slur. And he would pass this Bill by using Reconciliation.


This was by design,McConnell gets his marching orders from the Koch's,and other mega donors.

5. Those are two different meetings - one with trump, the others with McConnell and Ryan

They cancelled the meeting with Trump when he tweeted that he "didn't see a deal" and called for a meeting with Turtle and Eddie.

6. You know what would have been funny?

If "Chuck and Nancy" had sent some entry-level staffers, looking all earnest and carrying very official-looking legal pads to fill the seats. Neither of them would say a word, but they'd each look real busy jotting things down throughout the meeting.
