Wonder why Pelosi allowed the STOU before the 15 days were up? There must be a hook? nt

1. Maybe she didn't want republicans

To say she was playing politics and not giving T a chance to explain his stupid wall.

She knows polls show most Americans are against it, she must be hoping they don’t believe him and believe she is being honorable and fair.

2. She canceled for security reasons

The security concerns no longer exist

3. yep...

sometimes things are just what they are...

4. She doesn't want to give him ammo to fling.

Has to let him play preznet

5. It's the correct thing to do both ethically and politically

There is no benefit in further delay.

7. Unless she knows something is coming out this week that will humiliate the orange maggot

And all his bs bluster will make him look foolish.

8. It deprives him a chance to falsely blame her.

It deprives him a chance to falsely blame her.

9. Grandmaster chess move. How will Trump look giving a big speech

Grandmaster chess move. How will trump luck giving a big speech, Say everything is great, and then close the government down again 10 days later?

10. She figures he'll divulge what he plans to do...

after the 3-week re-opening of the government.

Him speaking on the 5th will give her and the Dems time to firm up contingency moves.

Even emergency declarations have to be approved by Congress, and then there are the courts.

trump and his inexperience crew thing he can just declare it and then do what he wants.

It doesn't work that way.

Declaring a national emergency will backfire on trump even more than the shutdown did.

11. I'm hoping she arranged to pipe in a laugh track...
