    While Trump spoke calmly and rationally from behind the Resolute Desk, the Democratic leaders accused him of “pounding the table” and having a “temper tantrum.” While Trump told human stories, they complained about process. They accused him of arguing that the women and children at the border were “a security threat” when he had just explained to the American people that they were victims, too. They charged him with using the “backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.” They were partisan and petty, while Trump came across as reasonable and even compassionate.

    To normal Americans watching in the heartland, and who are not steeped in Trump hatred, the president must have seemed like the adult in the room.

    And, most important, Pelosi and Schumer failed to use the one word that millions of Americans were longing to hear — compromise. But Trump did. That is why the president won the night. Schumer and Pelosi appealed to their base, while Trump made an effective appeal to persuadable Americans.

    Until now, Trump has owned the 18-day government shutdown that prompted this address, because he’s the one who started it. But if Democrats continue to attack him, and won’t entertain any compromise, soon the shutdown will be all theirs — because they’re the ones who have refused to end it.

    No way the Dems can take the blame. Trump said, if you do not give me wall money, then we have nothing to talk about and he left. Trump will wear the mantle until the end. Trumps 3 lines he said to Pelosi and Schumer doomed him. They will not go away.

    They have jobs, yes. Just non essential ones. A form of Federal welfare obviously as defined by government itself. The only folks caught up in this that should not be is the USCG.

    here is a dirty secret about politics

    if people believe you won, then you did.
    NPC is a beloved internet personality. Their pronouns are he/him. NPC fully recognizes the inherent privilege of being able to post on a message board, and as such NPC makes sure to avoid all social media where the trust and safety council flags something as dangerous to think about. He avoids all tweets that are disputed, and only supports mainstream news sources where former CIA, NSA and FBI serve as talking heads.The future is female, orange man bad, black lives matter, and wear a damn mask!

    That is the way this should be resolved.

    Trump should claim victory...just by signing whatever comes to him from congress.

    His supporters (!) are fucking morons who will accept anything he says as gospel.

    That is the only way out of this.

    He is not going to get that wall.

    Real jobs mean stuff is produced or repaired. What non-essential GovCo worker does that?

    i can't say whether a wall will happen or not but I believe trump has leverage because at the end of the day, democrats operate on feels and conservatives honestly don't give a shit if the government is shut down.

    It is laughably dishonest to try and equate having a federal job as a form of welfare.

    Seriously, consider getting a job. You might find it rewarding.
    I'd say many here probably don't have jobs. Many are probably retired. Dark Soul seems older, but he doesn't seem to waste the time some do. The one's most likely not to have jobs, are: I Love America, Legion, Text Drivers Are Killers, Top, Yurt (wherever he is).

    Text Drivers likely didn't have a job yeeeears ago when he got his ass booted off another board I belong to.

    That a pretty sorry lot.
