Think it's petty, grandstanding, and an incredible break from our nation's norms. And before somebody points it out, OK, maybe it's not as bad as the shutdown. But two wrongs, and all that. The SOTU has not been cancelled. The President has been disinvited from going to Congress to read it. He can still write it and Pelosi welcomed him to hand it in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it's a step over, technically. We are now operating in such a uniquely petty realm with the Petty banner being flown from the executive branch, that some flexing can be forgiven here and there, at least by myself. I won't dispute those who condemn her for this but I won't condemn her yet. Ultimately all she's doing is chafing him to get the government re-opened so I see a greater good here. It's a trap. If he wants his sweet 16, he's going to have to clean his room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give in initially that bully is going to get worse and worse. Pelosi is in the infancy of her Speakership. She can't afford to be spineless. She has to stand up to him. If she doesn't he will get more and more monstrous. We've already seen his trespasses grow worse with each month in part because the GOP majority is unwilling to stand up to him on any issue. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some places, like where cities push right up against the border. (I think San Diego is one of them?) Looked online and it would appear as though you were correct. I'm almost never wrong about this sort of thing so I'll just say that I'm thoroughly impressed with how quickly you put those fake websites up and got them to number one on the google search results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hes a traitor and you all know it. Hes just going to lie to everyone - again. Like hes has done from day one. Its not petty to stop him from doing that when he has shut down the government. If anything its patriotic. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Now Trump's economic advisor, hassert, is telling fed furloughed employees to talk to their supervisor for help getting a loan? How am I supposed to help? What's more, while furloughed, I am not supposed to do anything job related. The employees whom I supervise have no supevisor to ask for help during the shutdown. I think the most charitable assessment I can give for this advise is that it is based on real abstract theory with little practical application in the real world due to how the furlough is actually implemented. For now I will just hope my employees dont expect miracles from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure none of us know the answer but it's fun to discuss. What if Trump says F it and goes to Congress anyways? Do they attempt to not let him in? Do DC police get involved and have to go as far as arresting people for trespassing? Does Secret Service have to pick a side? Does Trump try to call up a small amount of National Guard to help him get in? Like WTF would even happen if he tried something like that? It's just the type of power play I could see him try. Capitol Hill Police would block the entrance to the chamber. When he tries to push his way past, officers would restrain him physically while Secret Sevice agents, who’ve been working for a month woithout pay to protect his slimy ass, stand by and smirk. Officers frog walk him and then drag him out of the Capitol and, ironically, as his feet bounce along the marble floor, it aggravates bone spurs in his heels, which become infected. The infection spreads, leading to his agonizing death. Im not bitter though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
