I wouldn't be so quick to condemn Trump for this move.  It kinda became inevitable.  I see it as a 'live to fight another day' thing.

Trump has not abandoned the wall and we will get it, but the government shutdown had begun to erode his popularity.

We'll know in a while.  That he's late for this big reveal is not a good sign.  His speechwriters are having trouble with the spin part of the speech that is sure to happen.

We're reading his lips.

I see this as a good thing. The shutdown was a disaster.

What shutdown?  99.9% of the country didn't even feel any impact from it, other than what the Ministry of Propaganda told them.

No, I don't think so.  It's a real nice dream, though.  One that I, myself, have had in the past.  But the reality is.... we here in Texas are already waaay too divided politically, thanks to the influx of leftist Democrats from other states and from illegals that eventually vote (illegally and otherwise) Democrat.  I just don't think succession is a viable alternative any more.   8888crybaby

What chapter in The Art of the Deal was this in again.....

I remember so many saying Trump was the oy one with the skills to negotiate for these things... But so far not only did he get nothing, this is a step backwards.

Even Bush was able to get the Secure Fence Act.

Wasn't Mexico supposed to be paying for the wall in the first place?

Now he's a half-hour late.  Enjoy your SOTU speech, Mr. President.  You earned it.

It's a pity you had to throw your base under the bus to get it, but this is why your base doesn't trust you.

His base trusts him completely...it's the rest of us that don't trust him.

The rest of you want the President to fail.  At least be man enough to admit it.

Live feed...nothing yet...

Nope, nothing.  this was supposed to be at 1PM, and it's 2PM now.  We're being played.

He's 30 minutes late...that's WJC level tardiness for a media engagement.

Nope, I'm a casual observer studying human nature. The only thing I think good will come out of this is that people will stop putting so much faith in politicians and the government. They are not your saviors not are they here to help. The more you believe they are, the more you will be disappointed.

Maybe Conservatives will get back to wanting limited government with as little centralized power as possible.

We may be able to get a wall or some sort of improved security if we stop playing the cult of personality and start treating this like an engineering project.

The WH released the agreement bullet points to the press 30 minutes ago. Drudge has them up. A speech isn't necessary.
