Could some democrat please take Pelosi aside

Democrats do want open borders. They are for fighting against a wall, encouraging Caravans, getting rid of ICE, have sanctuary cities, a sanctuary state, allow illegals to get driver's licenses, allow them to vote in local elections, and give illegals free healthcare up to and including both California and New York City now wanting to do single payer healthcare and specifically allowing it to cover illegals. Now please explain to me how Democrats are not for open borders. Everything they stand for encourages illegal immigration.

You’d have to stop believeing in myths before I could even begin to explain.
 
In other words, paybacks are more important than running the country.

well, when the side you are negotiation with is known for backing out of netgoations and lying about it then it's not 'running the country'. McConnell and Trump are like lucy and the ball.. and their goals are not running the country either.
 
Now...where oh where have we seen this type of behavior before?

But that's not the way to run the government and America. Just because the other party was resistance doesn't mean you screw America through paybacks. Remember, Michelle Obama said, "When they go low, we go high". Is that your motto or is your motto, "When they go low we'll show 'em we can go even lower"? Which way is it? At least be honest about it.
 
Trump and the Republicans have run into a brick wall with the Democrats. Ever since Nov 2016 their only policy is to resist everything.

Well, I think folks who have thought this particular issue through tend to agree with them... Perhaps Trump should have approached this job a little more seriously, and a little more willing to work with people. I know you love the guy, but your Constitution gives powers to government to do exactly what they're doing - legally stopping a runaway train to Nightmare town. :shrug:

Next time listen when people say hire anyone but the asshole. You might actually get something out of the next 4 years. Other than having the POTUS exposed by a porn star for having a Mario Kart mushroom ****. And 800,000 people out of work in the dead of winter.

Fact of the matter is, Trump's brand is so toxic, so pathetic, that even if what you're saying about the Dems is true, no one will believe it. The WORLD, including over half of America, hates the man. He is incapable of anything more than you're getting. He may be your lowest point. Here's hoping - not sure you guys could handle worse.

The left always believe they have thought things through. And yet when all of their policies fail their "thought" process is that they just didn't do enough of what didn't work and double down on zero, thinking that it will work the next time as long as they do more of it. That is thinking things through. Allowing for sanctuary cities, a sanctuary state, giving illegals driver's licenses, education, allowing them to vote in local elections, and giving them free healthcare is the solution to the immigration problem? That's thinking things through?

Lemme break it down like this.

You have a car who's engine won't start.

One mechanic says they'll sing to it for $5000, and it'll work again.

The other mechanic says they'll put on monster truck tires for $5000, and it'll work again.

Which mechanic do you hire?
 
Sure it is. If someone says they want to make racism (just using an extreme example) legal again you stand your ground.

Negotiationing doesn't always mean giving in. You stand firm on what's important to you and then negotiate what the other person/company is willing to negotiate.

And sometimes neither party is willing to budge. That's okay too. Our founders specifically designed this system so we would have to argue. They didn't want a king or one person dictating laws.

In this case Pelosi has all the power because Trump manufactured a crisis and stopped governmental services and employee pay to fix the "sudden" emergency.

Trump is really bad at negotiating. He's being schooled by politicians (who, ironically, are way less corrupt than he is).

Trump has budged, Pelosi just says no and produces no counter offer. Pelosi is not negotiating.

sure she is. she has the upper hand because Trump manufactured a crisis to try to get what he wants. she's standing firm and not being bullied.

Trump is horrible at negotiating.

Obviously the definition of 'negotiate' eludes you.

Negotiate - to deal or bargain with another or others, as in the preparation of a treaty or contract or in preliminaries to a business deal.

to have formal discussions with someone in order to reach an agreement with them.

Pelosi doesn't come close.

The 'offer' of Trump doesn't come close either. It's 'we'll talk about the offer I gave you earlier, but yanked away at the last minute if you give in'.

It's bad form to negotiate with an extortionist.
 
Could some half way intelligent democrat please take Pelois aside and explain one fact to her. They need to explain to her how a compromise works. They also need to tell her no matter how pig headed she is she is not going to get everything her way.


I think Trump already has explained that to her

He's explained that a compromise would be for her to give him what he wants (the wall) and in return he'll give her what he wants to give her.

Stop the hyperbole. "Encouraging caravans". Post evidence of the "Democrats" encouraging caravans. All of them.

You have to stop pretending to be moderate, MR. You're far far far right, and you know it. Up to and including posting ignorant hyperbole.

Britain and France tried that negotiating stuff at Munich in 1938.


Trump has basically taken 800,000 hostages plus their families and demands he gets whatever he wants.


Trump cannot be allowed to win this way.

Pelosi and the Democrats have to stand firm. They MUST stand firm.
 
That intelligent democrat needs to explain how the process works to you too in politics. Just like Pelosi you are totally dismissing the safety of the American people.

Pelosi is totally dismissing the safety of the American people?

Let me show you who is actually dismissing the safety of the American people. It is Trump.

He created this government shut down that has TDS agents and Air Traffic Controllers not being paid. TDS agents are who check people at airports to see that they are not terrorists and Air Traffic Controllers are the ones that handle air traffic. With them not being paid, they may not show up to work or worse, do a bad job at work, and that means that Terrorists can now enter the United States and our flights could crash, not to mention the fact that already many terminals have been closed, many flights canceled and soon there may not be any traveling by air being done.

All of this has been caused by Trump government shut down. Talk about not caring about the safety of the American people, Trump does not give a hoot about it and it is being proved every day he allows the shutdown to continue.

Pelosi agreeing to a border wall will not solve any problems at this time because building of a border wall would take years. Trump keeping the government shut down can cause problems tomorrow, next week, and next month. Trump is weakening all by himself our security and you have the audacity to blame Pelosi for not giving in with a gun pointed at her head.

My gawd, wake up and use your mind.

They want to take away your guns too, and your money. And they want to teach your kids to be gay and your grandkids to change genders.

Trump has not budged at all. First of all, the legal status of the Dreamers is now going through the courts and they are winning, meaning that Trump is not offering anything that they won't get through the courts themselves. In addition, Trump was the one that took the Dreamers status away. It is like saying, I stole your ball but I will let you play with it for a short period of time if you pay me. This is not compromise, it is extortion. Last but not least, Trump has changed his mind on things he has said in the past that to depend on him doing what he says is pure stupidity.

Pelosi has negotiated in the past but at some point negotiating with someone that is trying to scam at every turn becomes a self-defeating event. Trump needs to show some true good will and release the innocents he is holding hostage before any new negotiating takes place.

What on Earth are you blabbering about? You're proving my point. You're saying that Democrats are for border security while at the same time being for sanctuary cities, a sanctuary state, giving illegals driver's licenses, education, allowing them to vote in local elections, and giving them free healthcare. Might as well just sing or put monster truck tires on the immigration problem. In fact, singing to the border and putting monster truck tires on the border probably wouldn't do anything to stop illegal immigration, while doing all of those other things actually encourages it and makes the problem worse. Quit doing all of that other stuff to prove you are serious about border security.

There have been several well known Democrats encouraging the Caravans, Democratic party heroes.

Yes, sure, the dems should stand firm, like Jimmy Carter did in 1979... ;)
