I think Trump did the right thing by going along with the State Address later on. Choose your battles, huh?
He wants to make sure everyone sees the Dems squirming in their own poopie pants while he lays down the accomplishments and berates them.
Total war and dysfunction is how it's going to be until we elect a prez that goes back to performing rim jobs on the media.
The only thing that kinda concerns me is the "race war" stuff they're pumping out.
Don't think the optics, here are what the dems really want

mittens broke from the gop and voted with the dems to fund the government until feb. 8th---with no wall......
Wow--that'll help, fund the frickin goverment for 2 weeks:crazy: and no wall.
east coast liberal is all he is...
McCain and Flake: Nobody can out-RINO us.
Mittuns Flake McRomney: Hold my jello.

I'd be sincerely interested in hearing you embellish on that a little bit...Quote:

trump absolutely voted with the democrats and pelosi won this battle.
trump's position and bargaining power was greatly diminished by 6 rino's, including mittens.
in 3 weeks, we will see who wins the war for 2020.
If trump caves again, it will be a dem president by a landslide.
I guess it would have been better for you guys if hillary had won.
Do you really not see a border security problem?
after all, we are only hosting 11-25,000,000 ILLEGALS currently so your ideas must be working:crazy:
Incoming Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) revealed he would support President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall one day after publishing an opinion piece in The Washington Post critiquing nearly everything about the current administration.
“I would vote for the border wall,” Romney, former Republican presidential candidate, told CNN’s Jake Tapper in a Wednesday afternoon interview.
“We should have a wall on the southern border,” the former governor of Massachusetts added.
talks good--but folds like a cheap suit
Calm down, count to ten....or more. I voted for both Trump and Romney. :mrgreen: I wish I had more time to lay out my argument but yes, I absolutely see the reason for a wall, mostly for the drugs and human trafficking coming across the boarder, not so much for immigration. I heard a very compelling argument and presentation from a DEA higher-up about two weeks ago that pretty well convinced me of the necessity of the wall.Quote:

Actually, I'm really calm, had a decent day earning a living, sitting at my house--+$3141.66 how was your day?
oh--and I voted for mittens too(held my nose), would have preferred his competition in the primaries.
Hatch was just getting good, trump made him a different politician and it was nice to see.

Sorry for the confusion
Now I better go check my other 2 accts.
others up $216.83
No stress here and I can't get past 5 counting, why do you make such difficult demands--oh legal one?
Looks like we are gonna have to start calling Pelosi, "Neutering Nancy", since she now owns Trumps balls.

Pelosi won this battle but it's going to be a long war. Pelosi didn't get to where she is by being stupid or weak.

the invasion of the USA by Mexico and Central America can
now continue unabated.:2thumbs:

I think we should have buses on our side as well.
Load them up and take them to San Francisco and NY city(their choice) and have sanctuary.
I don't think Trump took a hit on this at all. In fact, I think it was a smart move. Every time I try to guess what he's going to do, he does something else. But it's always the right thing.
He didn't buy three weeks, the Dems did. Now he'll give his SOTU speech and mollywhollop 'em. I reckon.
Hi Dummies
Throw down something to chew on, dude. Otherwise you're a puss.Quote:

Indeed...but apparently many of them still live paycheck to paycheck. The last few days had lots of stories of so many having to hit "food banks" to get by. Talk about going thru life just skimming above the bottom.Quote:

Seems like a "livable wage" would be simply more money to spend.
People are not poor because they don't have money, people are poor because they don't know how to manage money.
It's sad that schools don't require at least one semester of a personal finance class to graduate. Most high school and even college graduates have no clue how to manage money or understand the power of compound interest.
How much money was your paycheck this week? Spend it until it's gone is not a sound financial strategy.
Anyone remember the housing crisis of 07?
Millions upon millions of construction workers couldn't find work and most of them wanted too.
I didn't see free handouts, no free food, no grace periods on rent, they sucked it up and despite some folks best efforts, they lost everything!
Why are government workers so protected and pandered to?
They make on the average 30-50% more money than a similar job in the private sector.
Mostly what was shown on alphabet tv was people who work for the government are incapable of money management.
Maybe to big to fail, kinda like GM, who is now going under again...
^^^This is one of my pet bitches...
A guy can have a successful small business for 20 years and the government sucks every penny they can out of the business for 20 years... and then the guy hits a bad year or two like 2008 and he loses the business, while the government still continues to suck it's share out of the business.... where if the government had of offered many of those small business a hand up, or simply removed their hand from the guys pocket for a year, many of those small business would have survived and would again be feeding the government's enormous financial suck again.
