Where in that article shows she is a moron? Or are you just making the usual partisan slanderous comment about her?

Time to break out the crayons I guess.

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Democrats will block President Donald Trump from giving his State of the Union in the House chamber until the government is open." - This is a dumb dumb dumb political move on Nancy's part.

She really cant stop him from doing it anyway. When he does it live and then sends the transcript to congress ahe is going to regret the result.

I know of the action she took. I'm asking why it is dumb in your view. If you can't answer, I understand the reason you can't.

Because of the optics it paints. Can't claim you want to negotiate on border security but act in an obstructionist manner.

He only needs to present a state of the union update to Congress by the date set in the Constitution.

He can deliver any speech he wants wherever he wants and the send the speech to Congress to fulfill his responsibility. In the meantime he controls the optics of the speech.

I don't think she has to desire it to accomplish that (look stupid).
I dont think she realizes how stupid she looks.

She ran on taking back power to change what was wrong. She isnt changing what Trump or the GOP was doing. She has put a stop to government and I dont blame her exclusively for the shutdown. The SOTU is part of America. She wont like what comes of this because he will do a speech.

Trump is all about ratings and increasing his ego. There is nothing like the SOTU in order to build one's ego if you are President. It is all pomp. You are announced to the entire government, everyone stands and claps for 10 minutes as you ceremoniously walk in shaking hands and are the entire center of attention. All the networks and cable news channels and PBS is covering it. It is the President setting the table for the country for the upcoming year and if saying the right things, you are applauded about every 30 seconds. I'm going to guess it is the thing Trump would like most about President next to a military parade which thankfully isn't going to happen.

The SOTU is now not happening on 1/29 so none of this is going to happen. Yes, he can give a speech. Networks won't cover it; the pomp I just spoke about won't happen; it will be similar to one of his political rallies. How many of those has the country seen? Don't fool yourself; this is killing him and his ego. And I will say it is the correct thing to cancel it due to him being proud of shutting down the country. Open it back up, possibly get the SOTU speech.

It will happen. The only difference will be no Nancy sitting behind him.

Indeed, Pelosi has a lengthy history of abusing special travel privileges afforded to lawmakers. In 2011, Judicial Watch exposed Pelosi's rampant use of luxury Air Force jets to travel between Washington, D.C., and her congressional district in California, a 5-hour, 3,000 mile journey each direction.

In just a two-year period, Pelosi accumulated $2,100,744.59 worth of travel expenses, which included $101,429.14 for in-flight conveniences, such as food and alcohol.
