Joe says we'll know if there's a deal by tonight

[senseandsensibility]

Just heard on CNN. Clarification: we'll know by tonight. Let's hope the deal isn't too bad.

1. I trust Joe

n/t

2. I trust him

but he's fighting an uphill battle with these arsonists.

3. I hope it tuns out ok.

I ordered my prescription refills from the V.A. today. I haven't a lot of hope that order will be filled.

On a good day, when I'm on top of a motorized farm machine I can do 1 1/2 to 2 hrs before I've really got to rest.

If I'm on my feet I've typically stop every 30-40 minutes to sit for 5 or so minutes . I can't imagine an employer who can work with that.

5. Done

But reporting on cryptic headlines on live TV is a little difficult. Can't refer to the written copy or link. So this is my memory of what was said in its entirety and they haven't referred to it again since.

6. Even if there is a "deal", doesn't mean the votes from Congress will support it.

8. Yeah but if Joe says there is a deal I suspect he knows he has the votes.

Correct??

[JohnSJ]

11. Maybe. He said "he was hopeful we'll know by tonight if a deal is reached". The problem is that

McCarthy can’t control his caucus, and there may be some Democrats who also may have some issues

No one knows what the “deal” contains

[honest.abe]

13. Yes understood. We shall see how this turn out.

Im optimistic.

[JohnSJ]

14. I hope so

[Boomerproud]

7. Worried. Even if it gets through the congress critters some marginalized people

are going to get hurt. It won't be the rich, connected and powerful.

[senseandsensibility]

10. True but I wish there was more info

CNN has not returned to the story.

9. Negotiating with hostage takers is a tough negotiation.

12. I wish Joe would just use the 14th amendment and piss on these dine and dash repubs.

I know he wants the agreement to be bi partisan, but don't negociate with terrorists.

[mvd]

16. I can see the 14th amendment being a last resort, but..

I agree - I also can’t see ruling it out.

15. Even if it sounds bad...

I think there will be fixes in the future.
