Pelosi wants to reschedule Trump’s SOTU this year until after the government is re-opened pic.twitter.com/ab2ludmxj5— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) January 16, 2019
So far, so good.
WTF? :
Pelosi's office says this is not them officially rescinding the SOTU invite, just making a proposal.— Jim Newell (@jim_newell) January 16, 2019
WTF II? :
Hoyer: "The state of the union is off." pic.twitter.com/WQIUZHKSjv— TPM Livewire (@TPMLiveWire) January 16, 2019
Standing strong! :
Hoyer said on CNN that the SOTU is off, but his spox clarifies: "He hadn’t read the actual letter and misunderstood." Still just a proposal from Pelosi, not a formal disinvitation.— Jim Newell (@jim_newell) January 16, 2019
Cancel the damn asshole's propaganda speech -- shut him down as long as the government is shut down. Stop equivocating.
OTOH, elsewhere:
America: “We have reached that point where we are too stupid and broken to properly govern ourselves.”— David Simon (@AoDespair) January 16, 2019
Great Britain: “Hold my ale. And this crumpet. And these things that you call chips but are actually crisps.”
Let Nancy be Nancy.
ReplyDeleteShe knows how to deal with childish temper tantrums. Let her handle this overgrown baby and keep out of it. We need to back her up, not second-guess her.
donnah -- the problem is with old boys like Steny Hoyer speaking out of school, not with Pelosi.
ReplyDeleteExactly! We have lost ground repeatedly because scared old Dems like Steny don't want to ruffle the Establishment or piss off the Republicans. Well, that got us to where we are now, the state of affairs in chaos.
ReplyDeleteNancy is our hero, and she needs to be encouraged to lead, not back off. I've already emailed my Senator, Sherrod Brown, not to back down. We need to show our support.
