Oh what a great move by the President to deny the use of our aircraft for Pelosi's overseas trip.  Bet her eyes got a little wider when she learned.  They need to show up to the table.

Trump should have the SOTU anyway and play a video of Obama, Clinton, Schumer and other democrats calling for a wall / stronger border security in the past.

Do you have an issue with him divulging that she was going to Afghanistan, thereby putting her and the military and other staff that were accompanying her at risk?

He can have the SOTU anywhere he likes, just not in the House.

Also, you are forgetting that Trump had agreed to sign the necessary legislation - that McConnell and the rest of the Republicans and Democrats had negotiated - until Fox News got all up in his face about it.  As he himself said - on live TV no less - he owns the shutdown and only he can end it!

I find it takes 9 days:  three days to come down with it; three days to have it; and three days to get rid of it.

The days of the 3 day cold are long gone, with all the crazy viruses and mutations thereof that circulate these days.

I actually don't know if the Afghan part of the trip was meant to be a secret or not.

I am aware that there was some agreement on his part to sign...but can always change his mind for whatever reason.

Travel by politicians and senior officials to areas of conflict is always a secret.  I know, I worked in several similar areas over my 30 year diplomatic career.  Trump crossed yet another line by revealing that.

And there was not "Some" agreement, there was an agreement or McConnell would never had had the Senate pass the legislation. That's why he won't bring anything to the floor unless Trump agrees in advance to sign it, Trump made him look stupid by changing his mind.  Which is of course his prerogative, but his inability to think for himself rather than following the lead of Fox News is what has led to this debacle and many others.  Sad!

Thanks, bman, for saving me the distaste of having to respond directly to trump's resident WS booster.  And governing by "changing his mind for whatever reason," is exactly what's been going on for 2 years down here.  The whatever reason was the disapproval of his TV friends.  There is no one left with any wisdom to counsel the orange menace.  He'll have to rely on Coulter, Hannity et al. for guidance going forward.  God help us.

yea, anecdotal, but my cold this year was one of the worst I've ever gotten.

Bman, PH, 

Napa’s gotta be trolling. 

Meanwhile, I’m wholly disgusted with Barr. And it looks like he is going to be the next AG.  It is almost fortuitous for him that this shutdown is happening.  Were it not, I think a lot more attention would be being paid to his deeply disturbing answers to many questions.  Including his refusal to commit to releasing the Mueller report.

And Rudy is now openly admitting to collusion (or not denying) and saying but ‘the President didn’t commit a crime’.

Rudy is preparing the endgame for the dumpster.  Just more goalpost moving.  This latest blathering from Ghouliani leads me to believe that the cabal infesting our WH has a sense of what's on the horizon for them.  

I'm with you on Barr, but I'm not too worried about Mueller's report.  One way or the other, it'll be seen by a patriot somewhere and will see the light of day.
