Biden meets with Congress leaders in attempt to prevent looming shutdown, pass aid for Israel, Ukraine
[IsraelTimes] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. ‘This Is A Man ThatDoes Not Seem Demented’...
is meeting with the top four leaders of Congress to press them to act quickly to avoid a looming government shutdown early next month and to pass emergency aid for Ukraine and Israel.

...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 48.23020 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...

is also in attendance.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Biden invited the leaders to the Oval Office meeting because he wants to make sure US national security interests are "put first." She says those interests include continuing to fund the government.

"Look, what the president wants to see is we want to make sure that the national security interests of the American people get put first, right?" she said Monday as Biden flew to New York. "It is not used as a political football, right? We want to make sure that gets done."

"And we also want to see that, you know, that the government does not get shut down," Jean-Pierre says, adding that keeping the government open and functioning is a "basic, basic priority" of Congress.

#3 They are all so old and crippled they should have the meeting at Walter Reed. McConnell may get excited and stand up for a handshake too fast. Nancy would stop by Paul's room while there. Admiral Levine could do some prostate checks. And the tapioca pudding my friends, four star Michelin.
