Trump to meet with Schumer, Pelosi amid wall fight
Source: The Hill
BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 12/01/18 09:50 AM EST
President Trump will meet with congressional Democratic leadership next week days ahead of a deadline to prevent a partial government shutdown.
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are expected to meet with Trump at the White House on Tuesday, according to a source familiar.
The topic of the meeting isn't set but will likely include how to meet a Dec. 7 deadline to fund key parts of the government, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), amid an entrenched fight over Trump's U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Congress missed the Sept. 30 deadline, the end of the 2018 fiscal year, for seven of the 12 individual appropriations bills, kicking the fight until early December. Trump met last month with both Senate and House GOP leadership to discuss the year-end agenda, including government funding.

(23,059 posts)Anything he agrees to will be a lie, just like what happened last year. He has no center, so can be pushed to agree with others, but as soon as they leave, Miller comes by and tells him how terrible the deal is and tiny withdraws his support. Don't know why they waste their time, he's a total liar and a coward and nothing at all significant will happen except he'll later slam them and send us into a shutdown to punish us for voting Dem in the mid-terms. All he cares about is hate for non-fluffers and his own enrichment, well that and pleasing PUtin because that's part of his own enrichment (and peril, but don't think he's smart enough to have figured that part out yet).

Dont be surprised if trump comes out for fully funding and restoring Obamacare in exchange for a promise that the Ds will consider allowing a small area of the wall to be built...as long as Mexico pays for it.

(23,059 posts)They don't eat him alive or he wouldn't backtrack the second they are out of his office. This is a repeat, he will do exactly the same thing again. This time the election is 2 years away, so I expect a shutdown. I'm also really unhappy about this because 95% of my income is social security.

(2,064 posts)I think the democrats can sit this one out, other than voting for a simple continuing resolution.
Republicans have the votes to pass a continuing resolution without democratic help, other than letting it come to a vote in the Senate.
If Trump and the Republicans in congress want a shutdown, let them have it. They will own it.

He CANNOT be allowed to slide on this in any way. It was a campaign promise that he never let go of.

(6,916 posts)The Hill hired John Solomon from Circa (owned by Sinclair) to run false Hillary hit jobs about uranium. Truth is, Mike Flynn was doing a uranium deal with the Saudis, with nuclear tech and uranium coming from Iran and Russia. Sinclair came in and ran a typical rightwing projection campaign, trying to smear Hillary about uranium instead.
The Hill's owner, Jimmy Finkelstein, kept Solomon on staff.
The Hill may have some good journalists, but good journalists don't work for propagandists.
We shouldn't quote the Hill.
