Pelosi Suggests Delaying State of the Union

[depotoo]

Probably because they want to continue their vacation time...

 

[saveliberty]

This is an opportunity for Trump. He is required to give Congress a report. He can do that in writing AND give a national address form the Oval Office to the nation. Check and mate Nancy.

***Mods, please move this to the appropriate “catch all forum” if necessary. I don’t know if you guys are still doing that or not****

We also know that the Dems are globalists that are obstructing and hate America to the core.

She know what is going to come down the path, and is in fear of what the effect will be. You know he is going to rip the Democrats/Progressives over the Wall they are using the Nam trick to delay delay until they can build a new defense and they can not explain what he has to say after the speech. Why don't they just don't attend.

Not attending? Another dumb idea.

It would be nice if the Congress would show some unity but that won’t happen either.

Sometimes, you just are a prisoner to circumstances. As long as we have a clown in the Oval Office, we’ll have a political circus on hand. It would help if Pelosi stopped auditioning for the role of ring master.

Sorry Ed, O already sailed the lie lie boat, as did W, clinton.

I think that this is great. The main thing Donny wants is TV time. That is what he lives for. Poor little baby I 'm sure it won't be long before he starts his crying about how bad he was treated never remembering to also tell us how he mistreated President Obama. You on the right bitch about the dems doing what the republicans did for 6 years so you can take that and shove it where the Donald speaks from. I suggest nose plugs.

 

[Lesh]

She's doing her job perfectly

 

[jknowgood]

Agree. This is getting good. Too bad he doesn't take advice from Mitch & Lindsay, he'd stand a better shot at winning. Nancy and Chuck don't care what happens to the country as long as they think they are winning with their base.

Getting good???

Idiot, this shutdown is contracting our economy by 0.1% GDP evey week (administration's own estimate) and it's cost to the Federal government is quickly aproaching THE FULL COST OF WHAT TRUMP HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT OVER.

To put this into simple terms: A Ham Sandwich would at this point be doing 4 Billion dollar better deal than our current "Deal Artist" in the the White House.

Nancy and Shumer should of gave Trump the money in the begining. We would have part of the wall and goverment would've never shut down.

Yea that’s what they will do going forward - roll over and give Trump whatever he wants

Trump wanted the money last year, he gave in. But said it wouldn't happen again. Anyway the shut down is costing close to the 5 billion he was asking for. So proof democrats don't really care about wasting money. Take over congress and waste billions of dollars, keep it. You will give Trump the presidency in 2020.

Idiot how the fuck is Trump shutting down the government to get what he wants fault of DEMOCRATS?

It's on Trump, as Trump himself clearly said and the costs are ALSO ON HIM.

He is not the king, he does not controll the purse strings and he has NO LEVERAGE to win this. The longer it takes him to realize the more IT WILL COST US.

More and more people are are wanting a wall. Keep it up, please.

Eh,

I dunno. I say cancel the state of the union. put the TSA agents on 4 day work weeks this week. 3 next, 2 the following. Same for NASA, the NSA, Homeland, the Military. As long as folks are calling this a shut down lets make it mean shut down.

no

Your response is elegant.

Can we start using another term for the shutdown then?

Slavery for essential employee days?

Wind down?

Small government month?

Shutting down more of the government is as dumb an idea as shutting down part of the government.

I did see where some folks (on Twitter) are toying with the idea of having “targeted walk outs” of TSA agents at major airports in red states as a way of putting pressure on the lawmakers from those states.

Whether there is any truth to that; I don’t know. But it would be interesting to see what voters in Georgia think of 9 hour delays at Hartsfield or 6 hour delays in Phoenix. They miss their flights home to see their parents or miss their connector out of Salt Lake due to the shutdown.

I don’t think anyone in line can blame the TSA workers for not working while not getting paid. Also I think these are the types of people who will be very vocal with their congress critters.

They would just bring in local PD to do the checks while the TSA agents were listed as AWOL from work. They could be fired for the action.

Okay, you keep believing they don't, it will only hurt the democrats. The shut down is costing us close to the 5 billion Trump wanted.

 

[my2¢]

Pelosi came up with a nice creative way to tell Trump to take a hike. She has to be worried about the beat-down he's sure to deliver.

The Speaker invites the President to the House for the State of the Union address. The Speaker is NOT inviting the President to a public televised event. There is no way she's going to give the orange shitstain is going to walk into HER House, and have a platform to speak to the nation, and in a grand spectacle.

You haven't thought this through, have you? If Nance blocks Trump from giving the SOTU it will show the American people she is attempting to silence the POTUS. Is she afraid they might like what he will say? Afraid she might end up looking petty and partisan at the expense of the people? I hope she tries it.

She's not silencing him. She suggested he revert to the original SOTU, format which is the President put the address in a letter to Congress and they can publish it and the American people can read it.

It takes a lot of security and government workers to set up and broadcast the SOTU, and Nancy refuses to use unpaid labour to give the President this wonderful forum. Her House, her invitation.

First of all, it's not HER house, it belongs to the American people, and don't forget it. Second, the reason she doesn't want him to give it on prime time tv is because she's afraid of him making his case for a wall more effectively than she can make a case against it. She wants him to be heard by as few people as possible while the msm soak the airwaves with her and Chuck's propaganda. You know it and I know it, so don't give me that crap about unpaid labor. She doesn't give a shit about the people not getting paid. She could end this shutdown in 5 minutes if she wanted to.

LOLOL

He already made his case on national TV.... how’d that work out for him?

Well, seeing as how support for the wall has increased, I would say it's working out ok. Nancy knows it too.

A handfull of rightwing nuts think it's worth keep the government shutdown, everyone else thinks it should be opened back up asap, with or without the wall.

“Both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now — with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs,” Pelosi wrote. “Given the security concerns and unless the government re-opens this week, I suggest we work together to determine another suitable date after the government has re-opened.”

We already know what she said, dumbass.

That's right and the American people elected Pelosi to put a leash on Putin's lapdog and his free spending ways, and especially, to hold this President accountable for his racist, inhumane, unconstitutional, and morally bankrupt policies towards asylum seekers on the southern border. Ms. Pelosi is doing what she was elected to do.

The American people blame Trump and the Republicans for this shut down. If McConnell doesn't think these funding measures will pass the Senate with a veto proof marjority, why won't he bring them to the floor. Pelosi and the House have done THEIR work. Time for McConnell and the Senate to do theirs.
