MAGAt Moses Mike unveils Trump's MASTERFUL NEGOTIATING TACTIC he plans to use with Schumer & Jeffries

[Miles Archer]

With just over 24 hours until a funding lapse, Schumer and his fellow congressional leaders will join Trump at the White House for a last-chance meeting to stave off a shutdown. It’s not clear, however, that either party is interested in a dealmaking session.

Speaker Mike Johnson signaled in an interview with CNN that Trump wants to use the meeting to sway Democrats into accepting the GOP’s plan – without the Obamacare tax credits Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are demanding.

“Chuck Schumer came back with a long laundry list of partisan demands that don’t fit into this process, and he’s going to try to shut the government down. The president wants to talk with him about that and say, don’t do that,” Johnson told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday. “He wants to talk with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and just try to convince them to follow common sense.”



Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who will also attend Monday’s meeting, added on NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “It’s totally up to the Democrats.”

1. So Trump and Mike Johnson are shutting down

the government because they don't have any idea how to govern.

[Miles Archer]

3. They're using the "common sense" approach

Common sense dictates that if they CONTINUE the ObamaCare credits, Musk and Thiel and Bezos and Zuckerberg can't get their tax cuts, and tens of millions of Americans losing healthcare is worth it if it makes the broligarchs smile.

That's their "negotiating strategy."

[Emile]

6. Shutting down the government, so the extremely

wealthy (who don't pay taxes) can get welfare.

I like to think this will wake up magats, but it won't.

[edhopper]

2. Did Tapper

even mention that the GOP have the votes to do it themselves?

[Miles Archer]

4. Trump and Johnson want Dem fingerprints on the gun

That way, when the people who haven't been paying attention lost their healthcare and start crying, they can say "Well, DEMOCRATS voted for it TOO."

They KNOW what they're doing, and they KNOW what the outcome will be. They just don't want their actions branded as "REPUBLICAN" if they can get DEMOCRATS to SHARE THE BLAME.

[edhopper]

15. Sure

But as a "journalist" Tapper's job is to challenge Johnson's BS.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. They don't have the votes.

If I understand it, they need 60 votes in the Senate.

[edhopper]

16. Okay

So pass a continuing resolution. The Gov won't shut down.

[Wifes husband]

9. How do you figure that?

The maga assholes need 60 votes in the Senate. They don't have 60 votes in the Senate.

[edhopper]

17. See above

[Volaris]

18. No, but they only need 51 votes to change the rules so they only need 51 votes.

They don't want to do that, either. Easier to con dems into bailing them out again, they figure.
I'm in the camp that it's their problem; dems should ONLY agree to the votes if it gets the epstien files released, and otherwise bring on the leopards.
THEY run the govt.
THEY want this done.
Let THEM own it all.

[PSPS]

7. Shut it down. Shut it all down.

Even if the republicans "agree" to do something to get democrats to support something, they will renege via yet another illegal trump "rescission." It's obvious that any chance for a return to democracy will have to wait until the mid-terms. In the meantime, just shut it down. The threats of "mass firings" is actually sardonically funny because they have been and will continue to do that anyway.

8. Weenie Mike is going to squeak

‘Have you even thanked us yet ? ‘ and it’s just not going to cut it .

10. Republicans own everything in Washington. Make them own the shutdown.

[ananda]

11. Whoa! He used the words "common sense."

This is a dog whistle and a euphemism at the
same time, to take a dig at what magats
consider eliitist liberal ideas.

[Midnight Writer]

14. Yep, when they say "common sense legislation", "kitchen-table economics" or "everybody knows"

then you know you are about to get screwed.

These phrases are meaningless, but they are effective on MAGA when used in place of reasoned, logical rationales.

[ananda]

19. You can't know how tired I am of code language.

Of course, that's all they have, since direct, truthful
language would get them... unelected.

[Liberal In Texas]

12. They need to walk out of that meeting and call a press conference

and loudly proclaim that the GOPers want to take away your health care and were refusing to compromise to keep the government open. So it's their doing.

[Wounded Bear]

13. "Long laundry list?" What? Two items...
