Lady’s not giving an inch.
A trivial contest results in a empty victory. Better her than him, but this will disappear with the next Trumpquake.
(I recall her saying something like being a multiple grandmother has given her some chops when it comes to recalcitrant children. At the time, I thought she was kidding. Maybe not.)
Yeah, well let’s wait until morning and see how Trump reacts once Limbaugh, Colter and Ingraham start calling him names for giving in.
Did Trump do something adult regarding the SOTU?
Like not picking a dumb fight, not throwing a tantrum, just accepting a later date and move on? Now I’m scared.
Nah, he’d already picked a dumb fight and thrown a tantrum, and neither worked. It wasn’t so much an adult decision as a capitulation: Pelosi out-maneuvered him, and Trump had no choice.
CNN also says the White House considered having him deliver the speech from the Oval Office, but Trump did so poorly the last time he tried that that they gave up on that idea. They also considered delivering the SOTU via a rally, believe it or not, but gave up that idea because the networks probably wouldn’t carry it live, and Trump can’t stay on script at rallies. Plus Trump loves the bells and whistles and the sheer power rush he gets from delivering the SOTU address in the House chambers, with all three branches his captive audience.
Let’s hope he’s itching for this so much, he capitulates on the wall, too.

…and that’s all I can take.
For now, it looks like it. Not bad. I would point to the post directly above yours fo perspecctive, however.
He’ll only know about this if it’s spoken. He doesn’t read.
Yes, Trump voters supported a candidate who doesn’t read. That’s pretty amazing in and of itself.
It’s called representative democracy.
One more time for Roman Hruska:
My first thought was that someone stole his cell phone. Prerogative, alternative. Some big words in there for Trump. Oh. he put great in quotes. And the required exclamation mark. Trump got his phone back before it was sent.
You can tell it’s Trump when the writing is similar to a 12 year old describing their first date.
I wondered about the use of scare quotes here. Does he realize it implies sarcasm or that the speaker doesn’t actually believe what’s in the quotes?
Hmmm, maybe his subconscious is trying to tell us something.
There is so much that Trump doesn’t realize, that to try to list it would take down this board.
Not understanding that the quotes aren’t an emphasis, and indeed the very opposite is just the tip of the ice burgh.
He does the quotes quite a bit. Just like his childish exclamation points. That anyone did, and STILL supports this buffoon is the head scratcher.
He’s “like” Joey from Friends. I bet he’s even seriously said the “how you doin’” plenty of times.
Especially if it’s similar to a 12 year old claiming he got to second base when in fact he didn’t have the nerve to hold her hand.
Very nice!
Trump seems to genuinely believe that putting something in quotes is the same thing as italicizing it.
As we’ve come to know, he’s not a literate guy. And of course, he’s lived a life in which NO ONE ever dared to tell him he was mistaken. In those circumstances, people end up with a lot of odd habits.
‘No Cave!’: It’s wall or bust for a defiant Trump as shutdown enters 33rd day. The news is that
–oops, sorry. “No Cave” is Wednesday’s news. I meant to link to Friday’s news:
My question: does this mean Trump gets to give his speech after all? Will he?
Man, can Pelosi ever call the tune. I wonder if Trump will dance.
I’d say it’s in Pelosi’s interests to let him give it as soon as possible, while the stench of defeat is still on him. But given the time it will take to get the agreement finalized and government officially reopened, plus the time needed to take care of all the SOTU logistics, I’m sure it will be delayed.
