They probably announce her death the day before.

 

I rather hope Trump says "No thanks, I'll do it from the Oval Office and send you an annual report."  I'd actually prefer it if Congress got a formal annual report instead of a speech...though I'm sure Trump's would be in crayon.

She would be happy not to have to sit there behind him while he tells lie after lie.

It will work as a political maneuver to say he did everything he could to fulfill his promise.  

Maybe, maybe not. Probably be better for him if he created a different distraction. War?

Schumer said the shutdown cost $11 billion. That means he spent $11 billion to save $5.5 billion. That's Democrat economics for you.

 

No cost is too great when you're fighting to deny a racist, immoral wall to actual literal super-mecha Hitler!

Move to ban shutdowns is on!

If they keep them, they should make sure no social security or military pensions get paid either. Let the cranky ones not get paid either.

WASHINGTON — Was this the shutdown to end all shutdowns?

The answer could be yes. The toll exacted on government operations and federal employees by the record 35-day stalemate — not to mention the political costs to those in the White House and on Capitol Hill — was so punishing that it is giving momentum to a longstanding call to prohibit the government disruptions that have become a regular facet of Washington hardball.

“Shutting down the government should be as off limits in budget negotiations as chemical warfare is in real warfare,” Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee, said on Friday.

The only thing Trump needs to say at the STOU is that the country is far better off then it was 3 years ago, and that's not a lie

Sure it is...far worse off than 3 years ago..and that's not debatable...

 

Hows that for facts!!!!

Best economy in years if not decades, rebuilding the military,  redoing horrible trade deals, securing the borders, conservative justices that will follow the constitution, how's that for facts?

No one has said they are all rapists, but if you don't think rapists,  murderers, drug trafficking,  and other criminals are crossing the borders, you are dumber then I thought

Trump smeared them all. He wants less immigration period. Why? For racist reasons. 

 

And the immigrant community actually has less crime than native born population

Chicago and Philly are well acknowledged as the best at ringing up fake votes for the Dems.  It's admired by everyone, and fought hard when the GOP has a chance.

 

in 2016 Pennsylvania wouldn't report until well after midnight, when they couldn't rig it they had to admit it and it was all overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Define best economy. Unemployment for unskilled workers lower? Yippee, sure that leads to long term success for both the individual and the country!!! Cause we all know you grow an economy for the long term by having less skilled people!Deficits growing under Trump? Yep, great for the economy I am sure!!! But damn those tax cuts have energized growth? No, sugar rush for a quarter, now at same lower growth than under Obama, but Obama did not need a massive corporate tax cut to fuel growth. And boy, the impact Trump has had on the stock market...such a smaller growth rate than under Obama..but boy he is he one smart cookie!!!!

 

And lets talk trade shall we? Give me some empirical evidence where Trump has made a difference in trade. Not talking points and platitudes, but real demonstrative evidence of  positive to the economy from Trumps trade deals..or lack thereof

 

And let's talk border security. Did we not just have a shutdown over this? If he was so great at securing our borders, why the issue? I thought people, drugs and sex traffickers were at epidemic levels...is that not the case? All taken care of under Trump? Good to know no need for the wall!!!

You're acting like the little boy in the grocery store having a fit and screaming because he can't have a candy bar.

when it's a little boy you can ignore it

 

he's probably big enough to have the goons take him  out back and teach him never to whine ever again
