re: #173 Targetpractice

The reality of the situation is one side is represented by a man whose word cannot be taken at face value and another who has totally abdicated his leadership responsibilities to the former. Unless one or the other changes his tune, any “negotiations” are pointless as they are automatically in bad faith. That was best put on display when Pelosi and Schumer attended a meeting with Trump at the White House, only for him to storm out when told he was not getting any guarantee of having his demands met.

plus the one before that when he tried to rattle them by bringing in the press and cameras without telling them ahead of time

(didnt work)
