Trump's "discussion" tomorrow on the shutdown may be simply more smoke and mirrors.

It's being reported as a "discussion," but it's sounding more like a pitch for his wall. I'm not convinced that he's planning to "discuss" anything other than "Give me $5 billion for my artistically designed steel slat fence."

is probably dreaming of trapping the Dems in some sort of political/publicity stunt, just like the last time he invited Nancy & Chuck for "a chat." How'd THAT turn out?

Worthless piece of shit. Here's time for the Dems totell him to go fuck his bloated orange ass.

Mr. President, with all due respect, quit interrupting and listen!

It could happen.

....just pass bill to open and fund government; no funding for wall --hold firm! Then send to senate and let repubs deal with odious racist and traitor in WH..unless any meeting is to hand carry a bill for his immediate signature..then that is the only time they should meet with the lying son of a b#$@!. The mal hombre [ mal: evil, bad] is not to be trusted Prediction: if meetong happens, he' ll get his pretend bi-partisian photo op...spew his hate and lies about everything and everyone; blame democrats for shutdown--a repeat from last meeting...then, like every other time back out of any agreement that is, after his kkk/nazi buddies on fox, hate radio pressure him. Then , it's back to square 1. Aye dios! ( omg; a sigh) To my democratic leaders..please stop the insanity.
