The Senate Democratic leader said Trump’s decision to accept a meeting shows Republicans “feel the heat.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that Congress can prevent a government shutdown when money expires this week, but only if Republicans engage in a “serious negotiation.”

In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker that he called Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Friday to encourage a meeting, which the White House accepted on Saturday evening.

Schumer said reaching a deal “depends on the Republicans.”

      How in the absolute fuck do you not see the connection between:

      1. Charlie Brown getting tricked into trying to kick the football for decades

      2. Neoliberals thinking trump will negotiate in good faith

      To you, there’s just no fucking connections, to the point where you legitimately thought I replied to the wrong comment?
