Payback - and about time

After Nancy Pelosi suggested that the President postpone his State of the Union speech until after the government shutdown is over (an obviously political play), the President refused and turned the tables, postponed a scheduled trip for Democrats to "visit the Troops". He told them that they would agree that their number one priority needed to be ending the shutdown.

(As if the troops want to see the very Democrats who only criticize them in the first place.)

I gotta say it: I think this President is exactly what is needed at this point in history. If the Democrats are going to play politics with absolutely everything, I support a President who is willing to go toe-to-toe and force them to be the ones to back down. Been waiting for this since Reagan!

    Well, for a long time it apparently took only a threat from the Democrats to shut down the government to turn the Congressional Republicans into quivering lumps of jelly. It was refreshing to have a Republican President say, in effect: "Bring it on! I'll shut down the government myself!"
    Notwithstanding that I have a certain sympathy for people who are called in to work without getting paid; still, many departments ought to be eliminated outright.

    Or that she has an ulterior motive. I can't it is a logical one (as the attempt to acquire power over others through force is illogical), but it happens enough that I can't simply chalk everything up to stupidity.

    ...check your premises...Trump is a pragmatist...he only seeks to "compromise" with the dems...you lose when you "negotiate" with communist/socialist/fascist democrats...

    the national debt has continued to increase under Trump and the dems...

    Trump does not have an objective philosophy...he will fail the American ideal...

    ...but he is all we have for now...

    This is our last chance to rebel against socialism. After Trump, the country will fall face down into socialism for sure.

    I agree, Gary. Only an idiot would be blind. But let's see how many of the 65,845,063 confirmed idiots are willing to see come 2020.

    If the freaking MSM would do what it should be doing rather than doing everything it collectively can to bring down a sitting president, some of these people would see.

    When your opponent is digging a hole just toss them a shovel. As the wishes of the liberal left come true more and more will begin to see the error of their ways. Between the job numbers, economy and all the winning Trump is and has produced only an idiot would be blind to it. Just look at all the left wing loons who have already announced they are running against Trump. The more the merrier is how I see it and when the pollsters call I enjoy telling them exactly what they hope to hear and playing their own game, Lie my ass off.

    When she put that Michigan congresswoman, who called our President an ugly name and slandered Israel, on the Foreign Affairs Committee and AOC on the Finance Committee, it occurred to me her elevator may go up but it doesn't reach the penthouse!

    I wish I could remember who said it on the news recently, but he said sometimes you need Mother Theresa in the White House, but then there are times you need Dirty Harry. Trump is playing Dirty Harry and that is what is needed now.

    If it’s war, we should be seriously looking at their primary anti-American supply lines, which is leftist education.

    Reagan was not a career politician. Still he was one of the best American presidents in recent history. Because of this, they shot at him. Hope they don’t do that to President Trump.

    Absolutely! No more Mr. Nice Guy. As Rush Limbaugh said the other day that the Republicans don't get it and that they are twenty-five years out of date. Well, you can't be gentlemen when going up against the Democrats. It's war, and our president understands that.

    What I particularly like is that Trump does not go in for
    turn the other cheek.
    His response is retaliation.
