McCarthy and Biden used to meet monthly when Biden was VP. They have built a relationship over years.
Will McCarthy pass his first test as Speaker and get substantive cuts?

1. Can’t be a very long meeting if it starts at 2 PM. Nap time for the Big Guy.
2. I wonder who will attend and speak on behalf of the President when he has to respond rationally.

Whatever you want Branden.

yawn.
Enough talk already. The gloves are off. Tell Biteme if he wants a higher debt ceiling, he needs to cut a trillion dollars in spending. Then wait.

McCarthy has massive leverage.
McCarthy and the R’s may be the only that is able to save and prop up Biden at this point.. The Dems and the media are actively trying to kill him off.

We will see if McCarthy holds a press conference following the meeting if this is serious or Kabuki.

Will the real president be present, or will it just be the senile old dummy?

Who’ll be whispering the answers to McCarthy’s questions into Joe’s ear piece ? He'll probably negotiate directly with Biden's handlers is my guess.

He might say sorry I can’t come, this is taking away my cuddle time with my roomie Frank “bad rug” Luntz.

Still don’t trust McCarthy If nothing substantive comes from this then the Freedom Caucus should pull the plug on him.

Exactly true !
There will be the 'photo op' to demonstrate bipartisan cooperation,
and the work and negotiations will be through underlings.
It is all for show !

This is a set up for the same kabuki theater we have seen from trumps same old leadership for the gope.
You know it’s kabuki when Manchin is being allowed some leash.
