    "...he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them..."

    Sounds like it's not up to Nancy.

    I'm reading what she said, her push back on Pelosi's claim there are security concerns, there will be no problems with the security no need to cancel the event.

    LMAO … Nancy has this dumb republican chimp by the balls.

    He opens the government now … and her OWNING of him is on display for all to see.

    He keeps it closed … the economy suffers more and more and his approval numbers go even further down the :toilet:.


    Here's the thing about right-wingers … they're not only stupid, but incredibly stubborn … which, of course, causes them to double-down on their stupidity... :mrgreen: :democrat:

    We know it wasn't Trump. Who do you think it was?

    The Secret Service confirmed there were no security concerns.

    This is the same reason Pelosi and Schumer were so afraid to speak in front of cameras about the border problems.

    Reality and facts sux for Democrats.

    When did I say that i believed her stated reason was the sole or even the primary reason? In fact, i very much implied that i knew Pelosi did this because she anticipated how trump and the trumpettes would react.

    The last time he spoke about walls to the nation 2% said they learned something they didn't already know.
    Did you know Trump was wrong? Walls are actually older than wheels.

    Just 2% of American voters said Trump’s Oval Office address changed their mind about the need for a new border wall with Mexico, according to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted Jan. 9 to 13. And 49% of voters said the speech was “mostly misleading,” compared to 32% who said it was “mostly accurate.”

    And here is why the Democrats yesterday did not go.

    They knew that trump would hold them out as political pieces of conquest for a photo OP to show that the Democrats are cracking. Even though they, like the ones who went today, echoed the exact same demands that Pelosi has made: Open the government and then we can negotiate about border security.

    There is no inconsistency in those two positions. The ones who went today had the exact same message as Pelosi: Open the government and then we can negotiate about border security.

    Opening the government in exchange for full funding for his wall is not what she or any Democrats want.

    Dude, here is a tip for you: TELL THIS NONSENSE TO PELOSI :D lol. She is clearly terrified of Trump speaking to the nation.

    You're not buying her idiotic gibberish about security as it has been debunked by all 16 intelligence agencies, are you? Or do you think she is insane?

    It was behind closed doors and they didn't go because of orders. They, the Democrats got slammed again for refusing to negotiate and now a few are feeling the heat.

    While admitting walls are a necessary component and saying it was a productive meeting moving towards a resolution.

    So is Trump so lets just close down the government entirely. Or the Democrats like Trump has already can negotiate and compromise instead of refusing to do so.

    Its all about the disrespect from Pelosi.....Trump can play that game too. When inviting the Opposition Leaders. Trump can send the invite to Steny Hoyer and Chuck Schumer. Keeping Pelosi out of the WH, and Press coverage.


    Start disrespecting her and makes sure she gets that point.

    Pence is Pro Tempore and McConnell Leads the Senate. So it has nothing to do with their mood. As both stand with Trump on his Wall/barrier issue.

    They clearly can invite Trump to the Senate if they want. Or Trump can hold his SOTU anywhere he wants.

    What he should do is trigger the leftness and hold it at a McDonalds down on the border. Might be able to cause some leftists to hit full tilt and be committed to a nuthouse. No not New York or California. We haven't put a wall around them....yet.

    She must not be good at manipulating as she can't manipulate Trump to change his mind. So more failure exhibited by a Democrat. Can they do anything good besides cheat and lie? (Rhetorical question)
