@mattklewis if i was punching you until you gave me your lunch money, is "you give me lunch money, i stop punching you" a "concession"? -
@sethdmichaels it's pretty clear you & I aren't going to agree. So I'll take a page from Pres. Obama & decline to have this conversation. -
.
@mattklewis ok, that's cute enough. just wanted you to keep in mind that "put the gun down and *then* we'll talk" is a legitimate stance. -
@sethdmichaels : In my experience, "we'll agree to disagree" is usually code for "I have no response to what you have to say" -
.
@stevesingiser@sethdmichaels They're saying this as set-up for full-yr approps fight after clean CR/debt limit, to try to force more cuts.
