It shows a complete lack of character and integrity on her part. She forgets who she works for. She puts herself and her party ahead of the country.

Pelosi needs to go.

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

"Pelosi needs to go"...YES!!! But she can't go in a government funded jet, she has been stripped of this luxury until the shutdown ends.

padremike Loc: Phenix City, Al

Yea Trump! MAGA! Grounded Pelosi!

bahmer

Amen and Amen

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

Yes, me thinks this is quite artful in dealing.

Bcon

All security forces involved have stated that not only are they ready but that Pelosi has not even spoken to them, yet she claims there is a lack of security due to the shut down. She has LIAR written all over her face on this one. LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The dems simply don't want to let the president have his bully pulpit. Period. I love it, actually. Yep, this is gonna hurt alright!!

You're right. The Progressives have probably already spent more than the wall or barrier or wh**ever it may be called would have cost. That just goes to show us that it isn't the money, it's just their stupidity and hatred for the man who beat their beloved C*******t, Hillary. Immigration is mostly legal and good, it is migration that is illegal and causing the problems. This barrier may not stop all the migration, but it should make enforcement of our "on the book already laws" easier by slowing it down, at least on the Southern border, which would be a good start.

Yes, some of us have given thought to the term "non-essential" government personnel. At one time I worked for the Federal government, and I have gone through several "shutdowns" with little to show for any of them. These shutdowns are a purely political ploy for 'show and b***h,' and generally the only things that get shut down are operations that are carefully chosen to piss off civilians who have made plans to use some park or visit some government office or monument, things of no real importance, they just wish to stir the h**e and discontent pot. Unfortunately, I was always considered "essential" and never benefited from the short "vacation" they called a furlough.

IMHO, if you are considered "non-essential" you are in an excess or unnecessary position and shouldn't have been hired in the first place. If the government would follow the Constitutional guidelines and not continually engage in unconstitutional programs to "benefit" the so-called poor people that the Progressives claim they're trying to help so they will get them to v**e for Democratic candidates and policies, the "non-essentials" would have been the "unnecessaries" and would not have been hired. The sad part is that these Rubes have been v****g for Democrats for years, believing they will be better off, and they are still poor!

The government has way, way, way too many managers and should make these managers do the unconstitutional work themselves rather than delegate it to the "non-essentials," if in fact the program was instigated in spite of going against the Constitution. However, that's what the Progressives do, damn the Constitution, full speed ahead - - spend! spend! spend! Probably the worst mistake "We The People" ever made was allowing the creation of the first "career politician!"

Our country is now in various stages of hysteria, and it is a damned shame "We The People" have to have a lawyer to really figure out if we are breaking one or more of the vast, vast number of laws these "career politicians" in Congress feel they must write into our legal system in order to justify their jobs and benefit their more wealthy constituents! Willie Sutton once said he robbed banks because that's where the money is; career politicians go to Washington, DC for the same reason, only they use laws to rob us rather than guns. One can't get up in the morning and face the world without breaking some law somewhere! I view lawbreakers, or outlaws, every day just by driving down the street in my car - - they run stop signs, speed, make illegal U-turns, drive intoxicated, text while driving, and so forth, and that's just within the first few miles of the trip! We are a country of outlaws, and if the Progressives have their way and banish the First and Second Amendments, only outlaws will speak out and/or carry guns, and everyone except the wealthy Elites controlling the country will work for the government! We're rapidly working toward becoming the "Brave New World" that Aldous Huxley wrote about with all its Tyrannical Socialistic Utopian lifestyle, unlimited random sex, no family responsibilities, brainwashed education, and the euphoria of Soma pills to keep us all fat, dumb, and happy while we s***e for the common good and the support of our Elite masters, from a test tube birth to a Soylent Green recycle!

The famous philosopher of Roman times, Cicero, probably said it the best back in the first century: "The evil was ... the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of games." That was the cause of the fall of the Roman Empire, and if you look around this country you'll see the obesity problem, the full bellies, and the hysterical excitement the people have for a simple football game, baseball game, or other professional sports events, or even gambling at the casinos, that many times even overwhelms the duties and obligations of family responsibilities. If it feels good, do it! I believe that history is about to repeat itself if we can't get the Progressive movement stopped. All this crap isn't something new, and socialism has always failed; one would think we would learn eventually, and maybe someday we will, but human nature is pretty predictable, and we haven't learned yet.

I think Trump is playing hopscotch in a mine field. I wondered last Nov what he would do when he couldn't get his way. Now I know, that is , destroy the government

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

I do feel sorry for some of you folks.

Not knowing left from right, up or down and what a representative of the people looks like.

oldroy Loc: Western Kansas (No longer in hiding)

What would happen if the Senate decided to have the SOTU on the Senate side of the building and didn't invite any of the Dems from the House side? You do know that there is some serious talk of this in the Senate, don't you?

Mikeyavelli

He should broadcast it from Moscow with Putin giving him thumbs up during the speech.

She applauds those who mueller on the sidewalks of San Francisco, but she uses the privacy of her own wall, unlike hilliar, who muellers in the privacy of her own pantsuits.
