Sounds like Trump may be caving on the border wall, at least temporarily, and is willing to reopen the government while more talks take place. Which means this entire thing was pointless as that was the deal floated before the shutdown started.
Edit: I'm guessing Trump really wants his SotU more than anything. Last edited by Atocep : 01-25-2019 at 12:14 PM. |

I wouldn't say that anymore. A lot of money has been poured into the airport and with the construction of a new concourse opening in 2 years, it's much improved from where it was 10 years ago.

That's my take, too. This morning it still looked like there was no end in sight. Now this afternoon they are nearing a deal. If it was this easy, why not do it before the shutdown even starts?

I do like Stone thinking the best way to demonstrate his loyalty to Trump was to pose in the stance associated with Nixon...
I was gonna post an image of the double Vs, but he’s done it a few times before. Maybe a genius subliminal ‘Come and Get Me’ plea to Mueller to show that despite his pledges of loyalty to Trump, Stone is prepared to show that Trump is as dirty as Nixon?

Trump announces deal to re-open for three weeks.
Thanks federal workers for their sacrificing and for not complaining (in fact, we apparently kept calling Trump to urge him to keep not paying us. Who knew?) Now going on a long speech about how awesome walls are. I guess you have to give him that. He does seem to have figured out that "Coyote" does not actually refer to a small furry animal in the immigration context, so I guess that's something, too. |

Apparently human traffickers are smart enough to know whether to turn left or right to get into the United States depending on which way they are facing so we need a wall to stop people that sophisticated.
(And now I'm gonna stop listening because he just said that human trafficking is worse that it has ever been in human history while standing in the garden of a house built with slave labor.) |

If Pelosi continues to win/tie, I would seriously consider her for President 2020
Unless there has been more progress made than we know, I wouldn't think 3 weeks is enough time |

Well she thought a draft dodger was the best President ever until today, so no surprise she wasn't a fan of Bush.

I'm okay if they want to apologize in making a premature statement but its weird them saying they were being "bullied". I'm sure there was pressure but com'on.
Just say we made a mistake without seeing the whole video etc., we want to see how the investigation plays out before making any decisions. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/25/us/co...ogy/index.html Quote:

No acceptance that the kids still did some objectionable things. This whole scenario teaches that you can probably talk your way out of anything that gets you into trouble.

She'd go over just as well as Hillary did here. Pelosi is much more effective in the House. I've never been a huge Pelosi fan, but this episode has taught me a lesson. The people in charge of the House or Senate may not be the most likable but if they play the political game well, they are doing their job. Paul Ryan failed in that regard. He wanted to be liked. Perhaps due to an aspiration for higher office. Pelosi is in a safe seat and doesn't give a shit whether somebody in Wisconsin like me is a fan. I won't elevate her to the level of Lyndon Johnson in terms of effectiveness but when you've got somebody that is politically incompetent as Trump in the White House, she is a good counter. |

Similar to your thoughts, if Pelosi proves effective against Trump (can keep Dems aligned, can play the GOP against each other etc.) she would seem to be a good contender. |

The point as I understand is that there's a difference between being a good congressional leader and being a good president. There's a reasonable argument that the skillsets required are mutually exclusive. I think you can be a good Senator and a good President - but maybe not a good Speaker/Majority Leader.

Look at the response to Trump's speech she did with Schumer. She's not a great campaigner and struggles with messaging.

Sure, others are more charismatic.
But she is the best chance to counter Trump the remaining 2 years and if she does that effectively I think she deserves the shot if she wants it (which she probably does not). TBH, I would value someone that knows how to play the game, has built up relationships across the aisle, knows how to negotiate politically etc. Don't know much about her foreign policy stance and she is probably too left for me though. |

But deserves has nothing to do with it. She wouldn't win a primary.

I wouldn't vote for her.
I think of Pelosi like the Renee Zellweger of politics. I fucking hate Renee Zellweger. Every time I see her, I want to punch her in her stupid face. I hate her so much, I can't even watch Cold Mountain, and that movie has Nicole Kidman NAKED. Zellweger fucking ruins it. And yet, I agree with the consensus that she's a brilliant and talented actress. That's how I feel about Pelosi as a politician. |
