Good to see he's obeying Pelosi's "order"! Maybe she'll assign Auntie Maxine to be his mentor?

And the girl fought the bully by standing her ground.

It seems Nancy Pelosi is a tough nut to crack. Donnie is learning the hard way when his tiny balls are in her hands.

But first of all, showing respect for traditions is something Dump would never do, and second, he has no clue what "prerogative" means, much less the ability to spell it.

if he doesn't sign bills fully funding the government by a certain date, the House won't allow him in until next year's SOTU, if then.

it is part of his master plan to collapse the US government, sort of like the US caused the collapse of the former USSR.

My take on this, he is scared shitless. He is getting hammered by a lot of people. His favorability is down to 32%, with a good economy (stock market). If the shut down goes much farther his own economic advisor admits that the 1st quarter will have 0% growth, that will piss off even more of his cult because it will explode the deficit.

Not to mention his cult not getting their refunds on time and to add fuel to the fire, many aren't going to get the same return they got last year, pre Trump tax cuts for rich scam.

Trump may be a bully but he is no tough guy, Mueller is a tough guy, Trump is thin skinned and shits his pants when people criticize him or don't give him his way.

pss/ Where's Melania?

...and realizing that they have been suckered big time by the greedhead republican Tax Break for the Rich!!! (and screw job for everyone else). Same as it ever was. Hell, the republicans are in thrall to a Casino Hustler, who stiffs his contractors, and dodged the draft, while spewing lies high and low.

When taxpayers feel the republican kick to their wallets, and listen to the sound of their money being SUCKED into the vaults of the wealthy, they will have some fresh ideas. One hopes.

No misspelings or insults and is grammatically correct. They probably had to pry the phone out of his tiny hands and tie him up while Ivanka wrote that.

and lower your expectations.

The State of the Union Address is usually a carefully worded and accurate description of a President's past successes and his hopes for the future.

With Trump, the address will be debased, and inaccurate, and hence totally worthless.

It will be 'I done bigly great, stick with me and I will do bigly great some more.'

In short, fodder for the brainwashed, and of zero value to anyone with a functional brain.

57. Why?..Why give in?..This is not worth such a fight.

Someone convinced Mr. Trump to stop the fight over the State of the Union Speech..Fighting over this speech isn't worth it. The whole fight over the "wall" is not worth it. Here is why he did it in my opinion:

I don't think that Mr. Trump is "together" these last few weeks. He is hurting himself as well as our country. Perhaps someone convinced Mr. Trump to stop the fighting over the speech. Maybe someone said,

"You ain't well boss, just take it easy....relax, the speech can be given later, and the wall can be built latter too."......

Maybe, just maybe............................. ????????????????????????????????????????????????

Mr Trump listened to someone..(that would be unusual, and I got no info on this, but unusual things have happened before. I never remotely imagined that Mr. Trump could ever be elected to any elected office, let alone become President of the United States)....
