That schumer walked in and presented a list of demands on a number of different domestic topics, not just daca but going well beyond that. the president sort of talked to him about it for a while and said, you know, youre not going to get all of that into a continuing resolution. im told that schumer was open to the idea, possibly open to the idea of a five-day continuing resolution. so theres your gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today. the white house still insisting on a 30-day spending...
