    Default "I am very proud to announce that we have reached a deal" - DJT

    What exactly was the deal?

    It was total capitulation, not a deal....

    The 'Deal' ... is that he is ready to negotiate and NOT get up and leave the room.

    He caved in, like a cheap suit.

    Nancy Pelosi beat his ass harder than Stormy did.

    She showed him for the two bit amature he is.

    It is only 3 weeks folks, people keep acting like this is permanent somehow.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    We may be in the EXACT same place 3 weeks from now.
    (I'm getting a sense Nancy MAY NOT want to negotiate over a Wall, but rather do a 'Mitch McConnell "We'll make this President a One Term President")

    My guess, he'll make some public offers that he expects to get rejected that he'll use to show they are not dealing in good faith and don't really care about a solution. I think his SOTU will happen in that time, he'll use it to get under their skin, and they'll refuse to work with him though he's "willing"... basically, I think he plans on making it look like he's the one with solutions and they are simply anti-Trumpers willing to reject every idea that they would love coming from a Democrat because "Trump"...

    I wish she would walk into a wall. Then Douchebag Donald could point and laugh, exclaiming—"see, I told you that walls work!"—right as he, himself, plows full-stop into a wall. It would be great comedy, at least.

    He's already tossed out the 'Dreamers' as a bargaining chip. This could easily be a win-win. Trump gets 5B, Dems get Citizenship for Dreamers.
    (I'm becoming concerned that this may turn into another 'Obama and a Republican Congress' situation)

    If Democrats shoot themselves in the foot and make Trump 'look like he is the Reasonable One', they may just lose the next Election.

    It's either Congress wants to get something done (where both sides get something) or it turns into a polarized political fight where the Main Goal is to "Just Say No".
