House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer rejected an invitation from President Trump to participate in a lunch meeting that would discuss a possible compromise to partially fund a border barrier and reopen the federal government.
"We saw the fast food spread he bought for the college football champions," Schumer pointed out. "If he treats star athletes like that I shudder to think what he'd have on the menu for us. He likes football. He hates us. There's no way I'd go without seeing a menu first."
Pelosi was even harsher in her assessment of the President's offer. "Burgers and pizza are no substitute for our lobster and liquor junket that the President canceled at the last minute," she complained. "We are important people. We are entitled to a lunch befitting our status as co-rulers of this country."
Aside from their displeasure with the prospect of "being asked to settle for food that common ordinary people eat," both Schumer and Pelosi were skeptical about reaching an agreement. "We have already told the President that the only compromise we will accept is total and unconditional surrender," Pelosi reminded everyone. "President Roosevelt demanded it of the Nazis. Patriotism requires that we use this winning tactic against the gravest threat to the United States since World War II."

Trump should schedule a lunch with the 40 or so freshmen Democrats who won seats Republicans chose to retire from. Give them hope to keep their seats.
The old hag is a Chicken Sh== petty POS who got slapped down after she started a game she could not finish. Now she is being juvenile and senile all at the same time.
Hey hag, Trump put you on a leash because you wanted to show him how powerful you are with postponing the SOTU address. He flat smacked you down and put you in your place and you can not handle it.
Either retire or move this country forward but shit or get off the pot.
