But if they don't show up, that will be the opening for an endless round of tut-tutting about how "disrespectful" the Democrats are, how they aren't operating in good faith, and how terrible they are at governing once they're in office. You know, all those things the media could have said about the Republicans during the Obama administration.

they have no reason to change their stand regarding the so-called wall, but they do have bargaining chips: DACA, immigration reform, detention and separation policies, criminalizing bona fide refugees as they step across the border. i think at this point trump is just trying to find the least humiliating way out of his colossal fuck up.

i hope there are cameras again but doubt he'll make that same mistake again.

i didn't even know it was happening - what time? thanks

You didn't invite democrats when republicans had the majority. Well call you when we're ready. But if hey to go I hope they tell him the press has to be there and the cameras rolling.

If that was an indicator of how effective his set-ups are, I'd like to see one or two a day.
