    He would just deliver a state of the union at the WH or one of his resort with only GOP members and his fans.

    I applaud your consistency. You're like the Krassensteins. Do you only sleep when Trump does?

    Krassensteins? No, this was a tweet by Kori Schake, the Deputy-Director General of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. She was previously a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. And before that she was an adviser to the McCain campaign. Also has experience in GWB's Pentagon, NSC, and State Department. I don't know her political affiliation, but the fact she worked for GWB and McCain and even identified her as being "on the other team", I'd guess she is a republican.

    To be honest, I was thinking it was time for new leadership in both House and Senate. But Pelosi is proving me wrong... she is can bring the lumber...

    Pelosi jabs Trump: 'Maybe he thinks it's OK not to pay people who work'
    Pelosi said she hasn't heard from the White House since asking to reschedule the annual State of the Union address

    I know. It's like New Rox Fan just retweets everything he reads on his leftist twitter to this forum. Cringe worthy, awkward, socially unaware. It's like he is running a train on himself. At least he hasn't resorted to calling all trump supporters racist like his compadres.

    Nancy Pelosi will not be pleased. President Trump just cancelled her planned trip over to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan.

    GROUNDED: Nancy Pelosi Tried to Go Overseas During the Shutdown, President Trump Just Killed the Trip

    President Trump sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday afternoon informing her an upcoming taxpayer funded, military escorted trip overseas has been postponed.

    "Dear Madame Speaker. Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event it totally appropriate. I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative," President Trump wrote.​

    I had been expecting the SOTU kerfuffle to blow over. But with this, I am now starting to think not.

    Unless Speaker Pelosi is willing to compromise with President Trump, that is.

    Pretty much a perfect response to her suggesting the President postpone the SOTU address.

    Actually, no. That is what Pelosi and the Democrats are looking for. And on these appropriations bills, until Trump arrived, that was the routine behavior of Congressional Republicans. But not anymore.

    Now there needs to be a negotiation, with compromise by all parties. Yes, that even includes the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi.

    I am pretty sure that Pelosi would trade a good DACA bill for 100+ miles of border wall in BFE Texas. Trump won't make that deal, since his base hates DCA as much as they love The Wall.
