Joe agreeing to meet at the last minute is a victory?
He is simply waiting until the last minute so that if Republicans don’t give him everything he wants, he can blame Republicans for the shutdown.
You know how the game is played.
The best I recall was when DJT invited pelousy and scummer to the White House to discuss the budget. They figured they would gang up on him beyond closed doors. He surprised them with the press there to broadcast the negotiations. They looked like two roaches on the floor when the lights go on, scurrying for the door as quick as possible.
