Based on how much Schumer seemed to have been in love with Trump saying that I would be afraid of the opposite that he focusses to much on it and doesn't speak about issues enough. Pelosi seems to be good at messaging, though, so my two euro-cents would be that the response might be okay.
The media reaction will obviously depend on how outrageous Trump will be, so we'll see how much they will be noticed at all.

Zero chance I’m watching the speech or, far more importantly, the “rebuttal.” No ****ing way I’m going to subject myself to that ****.

Chuck Schumer seriously tilts me more than trump, what a useless stooge whore.

Multiple typos imo.

That’s one puzzle that will never be solved.

Grunching, but Whitacker now saying he's too busy to meet with the House Judiciary Committee in January. The committee meets for the first time later this week and I hope they just subpoena him right away and don't give him any chance to slither away.

The Dems better not use some kind of absurd fear of tit for tat or concerns about previous or future norms not to go 100 percent after Trump and his crimes. This is not some normal stage in political evolution, it's a break glass in case of emergency situation and any Dem that shows any hesitancy (looking at you Schumer) should be removed from office.

I don't care if it would be better to run against Trump than someone else in 2020. Trump is the reason impeachment exists. Start impeaching him for the non-Russia and non-obstruction stuff next week and then add those in when Mueller is done, or re-impeach when Mueller is done.

What are people like Pence thinking? When this is all said and done the history of the Trump administration will be a 10 volume report that identifies and calls out, in excruciating detail, all the lies, crimes, misdeeds, profiteering, these people are complicit in. It is inevitable. There will be nowhere for those who remain complicit with the Trump administration to hide.

Dems need to frame raising taxes as "restoring taxation to its historic norms" or something like that. You wanna MAGA? Then bring back taxes to where they were when America was "great." Don't they have a Luntz type guy who knows how to do this stuff? They're so bad at messaging.

Impeach the Clown.

Trump’s Best Shutdown Move Is to Fold Now

Apparently Trump won't be invoking emergency powers tonight.

Manafort lawyers just prepping for an incompetent representation appeal.

Nearly every law student in the country studies the "Steel Seizures" case, which arose under Eisenhower and limits presidential power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youngs...jority_opinion

Trump isn't actually planning on calling an "emergency" though, he's planning on using a statutory provision related to the ability of the DOD to transfer funds for building (on foreign soil) given exigent need. Trump also cannot do this, but for different reasons (Congress controls the purse, not foreign, no rational basis). Fox and other GOP talking heads will mostly (intentionally) miss this point. Trump and people in the WH will miss this point because they do not understand it.

wtf.

The Trump family, innocents all, are really unlucky to be surrounded by so many felons. Such runbad.

It was pointed out on Twitter but it's interesting that all this wall crap is coming up the same week the Dems take the House back. Trump is gonna sabotage the government for 2 years hoping to stay clear of any responsibility.

Clearly Onion. Don Jr doesn't have friends...

Hahaha

It's was to provide a counterpoint to the people who where losing their **** because some deplorable was obviously wishing physical "hurt" on her enemies when there were many other interpretations available, many of which have been uttered in this thread.

So yeah, this is just a free primetime political ad courtesy of all three major networks

It isn't a logical leap to deduce that her point there was that it's supposed to be the browns and the blacks and the illegals and the Dems who are supposed to be hurting, not people like her.

She's a FL panhandle redneck. We know what/who she was talking about.

I can't tell if this is the worst-designed font ever or if the person writing this replaced the zeros with capital Os for some kind of dramatic effect

So Sunday Sarah Sanders tries to use the 4000 folks crossed the border … Chris Wallace fact checks her and says no they came through Airports. It amazes me about Pence he uses the same argument in a interview. Does he think the average American is that stupid?
Oh wait...….


Also Overstayed Visa are a bigger issue and Canada leads on that one

I wanted Pelosi to be speaker, but that was explicitly based on her legislative skills not her ability to do retail politicking. They have plenty of senior dems not running for Pres (it would maybe be unfair to give the job to someone who is running) who would do well. Have Rep. Schiff give it, or Sen. Warner, just not Chuck and Nancy. They'll still do 10x better than Trump, but they won't convert many people.
