"White House officials acknowledge that they must accept some spending cuts or strict caps on future spending if they are to strike a deal"

Dems conceding to republicans yet again

• no 14th amendment
• no clear messaging on how republicans will tank the economy
• allowing R’s to say “dems refuse to negotiate” without clear pushback
• shows Trump’s ultimatum holds power over dems

This is why I’ve never voted *for* a democrat even though I always vote blue. Weak.

I've stated this time and time again. Democrats are weak and feckless. They don't understand power, much less how to wield it. Yes, I vote for them because it's now just a pointless ritual, like wasting away in a church and pretending faith means anything.

@lednabm @flexghost the lesser of 2 evils. Really sucks.

This is what you get from Christianity. They are not only happy to condemn you to their imaginary petty tyrant in that imaginary world, but they want you to grovel before the kings of the almighty dollar. We were told America was not supposed to have a king, but they just changed the name from king to billionaire.
