No matter how HORRIFYINGLY PAINFULLY TRAGICALLY AWFUL it really is, it is a MILLION times worse. Then things get *really* tough. After that, HORRIBLE things happen, and then we REALLY get screwed. Immediately following that, the BOTTOM drops out and we are all DEAD, and THEN things get HARD! Once that happens, it signifies the TOTAL collapse of EVERYTHING, and that’s when the CATASTROPHE starts! It’s the sign of the end of EVERYTHING, but after that, comes the TRAGEDY. Then times get DIFFICULT, and things get WORSE, until it’s EXCRUCIATING, but that’s just the beginning, because after that it’s all PAIN.

"I have absolutely no wish to see anyone compromise, work with you Democrats or try to resolve the impasse with you in any form or fashion and I am sure millions of other Americans agree. My interest is not in power and control, but on removing an evil influence in this nation that is distinctly un-American. All you want is power, you don't care what evil ally you have to bring to your group to do it. Are you that dedicated to that for which you stand? If so, get it going. If not, back off. "

Was that directed at me?

Yes, obviously!

“Yes, obviously!”

Nah, couldn’t be. That would make no so sense whatsoever.

Trump is the enemy, he is a liberal democrat now. He's become total Swamp. There is no turning back now. It's over, stockpile beans and rice, because the purges begin soon.... and they will be LEAD BY TRUMP. I thought I was disappointed before, but now I know he and Pelosi are working hand in hand to destroy America. It's over dude.

It’s unbelievable how many just overreact to every little thing he says.

“”Trump just lost a large percentage of his supporters. Me included.””

What BS! He lost you and if that’s all it took then you wasn’t much support from the start, if you ever were.

Tiger Claws: I think you are right on target!

Trump is playing chess against Pelosi and the Democrat/Socialist Party, while they are playing checkers against him.

I understand that Trump’s favorite book is “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. If your opponent is of choleric temper, irritate him. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.”

Indeed, “Trump is up to something. Trust the long game.”

In regards to his apparent defeat at the hands of Pelosi on giving the SOTU in the House - Trump has many options and venues open to him: For instance, he can accept Rush Limbaugh’s offer as MC and do the speech before a Trump friendly audience of thousands.

“Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.” - Sun Tzu

Donald Trump has proven a thousand times over he knows himself and the record of the last two years has been a catalog of defeat after defeat for the Left despite throwing everything at their target of hate to include the kitchen sink.

I have my own IFs.

IF Hoyer influences more dims...

IF there are seven dim senators...

IF President Trump declares a state of emergency...

and there are other possibilities

Some have a different set of IFs, and I usually go with the positive, OR I could go nuts

In a tornado?

Well, that sort of fits. Tornado and Trump do start with the same letter.

Might even be a good nickname:

Tornado Trump

or

President Tornado

What do you think?

WTH? Shows that Trump is caving? Are you kidding? This says to me ...Ok, you want your shutdown, then here it is. And I will as a result, will choose not to conduct the duties of MY office until the shutdown is over.

It puts Trump totally in control and puts the ball in HER COURT and even more pressure on HER to end the shutdown. Also demonstrates to the country how much we really are in peril at this time with an unsecure border — that regular traditions and acts are at this moment, suspended.

Yeah, right. Most won’t abandon. I’m already seeing the rationalizing on the forum. Some people may be sore for a bit. But even they will return to the fold.

"I agree. I think he caved, it makes him look weak like, Nancy’s the victor."

Yep, and he does it just before the votes on competing bills in the Senate. If there are any weak kneeded Republicans, this encourages them to go over to the Rats. He needs to explains this decision in detail. If he doesn't, he is cutting his own throat.

I am disappointed in him for this.

There is always another wrestling match to watch for entertainment.

this may be more about RBG,than the Wall. Democrats now have a plausible siege plan for delaying a replacement until 2021. Trump better punch back harder like he used to. The public and federal judges will buy into the logic. dad precedent.
