Government Shutdown

[SilverFang01]

Nah, Nancy Pelosi is saying 'it's probably not a good idea to do a State of the Union address while the government's shutdown because it's a massive security headache. Maybe you should delay it, do it from the White House or submit one in writing?'

It's slightly more crafty than you'd think. Either she gets her funding bills passed, or she gets to hammer on Trump and the Republicans not caring about the plights of the federal employees who are forced to work without pay.

There's no way Trump will not want to make a live address.

And in retaliation the Toddler-in-Chief has denied Speaker Pelosi the use of a military aircraft for what was supposed to be a secret trip to a war zone: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/17/politics/...index.html

So in case you were wondering whether Trump would ever attempt to use his authority as Commander in Chief to leverage the power of America’s Armed Forces against political enemies in a co-equal branch, the answer is yes.
