Lines.

They just kept talking. Twenty-four hours ago, and for days prior, all the talk was about a deadline at midnight Friday and how this consequence would ensue and that consequence would ensue. They just kept talking right through the deadline and nothing ensued. All the talk was just a line to put pressure on everybody to put some lines on paper.

There are no meaningful lines in these negotiations, no deadlines that matter, no red lines, no lines drawn in the sand that mean anything and no lines drawn on paper. It's all just talk and they just keep talking.
