1. "Opposed"? How?

Did the Leaders want a straight agreement to increase the Debt Limit with no qualifications or did they want another time-limit for the extension?

3. I think they wanted a one-time, longer term debt limit hike but I'll let others report w/ more info.

2. If they were "oppossed" who did he agree with?

5. Schumer and Pelosi.

10. This may be unpopular but our side cooperating with Trump seems like a very bad idea to me.

11. Actually, he accepted the terms Schumer and Pelosi offered. They did not agree to his terms.

Dems had to put something on the table so they chose the option with the most potential to cause Repubs pain. 45, who knows nothing about the debt limit and its partisan history, opted for a short term win by agreeing with the Dems instead of focusing on the safer deal for Republicans much later down the road. He wanted a quick victory and he will get it. It just comes with a heavier price he and/or Republicans will pay in December.

9. 3 month? It will probably run out in 1 or 2 with the hurricanes hitting

12. I wouldn't doubt that

So there's a lesson for the right wing. If corps want to sell their batteries, blankets and bottled water for those who suffer loss and homelessness then they better be ready to feed the government the money it needs "to promote the general Welfare".

13. If you had seen the news about

the Freedom Caucus meeting on Monday,and how the Koch's and others are planning to take over the GOP from the inside,you would understand how this happened. The White Christian Movement wants their pound of flesh and Trump got his ass hammered so many times in the last week.

Donnie is doing things hopping he can remain relevant. Bloomberg just did a piece about how Trump is trying to pivot in order to cover his large back side. Remember he is facing a take over from the Koch's,and that is not going to end well for Donnie Little Hands.
