Clearly, Nancy Pelosi outright lied when she suggested that the SOTU address had to be cancelled because the Government shutdown would not provide the President and Attendees with adequate security.
The Secret Service and DHS both issued statements right away stating that they are not affected by the government shutdown and that there should be no security problems.
Pelosi then seemed to change her tune and suggested that the President should not be allowed to give the State of the Union Address till the Government is reopened.
The reality here is that this is just another one of the many unprecedented acts of blatant partisanship and anti-Trump behavior. Never before has a Speaker of the House made an attempt to cancel the State of the Union Address over a policy disagreement. Make no mistake. This is exactly what Pelosi is doing. Pure partisanship.
Will this become the new norm? No more SOTU addresses, unless the President agrees to be in lock step political agreement with the Speaker of the House?

Pelosi is backing herself into such a corner that these is no way she won't look like a fool when she finally caves.
Trump is offerering every chance for face-saving compromise and every time she refuses the blame shifts more and more.
Pretty soon she'll be forced into a humiliating capitulation that actually may lose her the speakership.

trying to out-troll a grandmaster troll is NEVER a good idea.

he was, up until today. i think trump just upped the ante to a level the dems just can't come up with.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) walked back his remarks in which he stated President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address was effectively canceled, telling the Fox News Channel Wednesday evening that the planned speech was, in fact, “not officially off.”
Is this just some cracks under the pressure ?

Kirsten said everything is honky dory.....there are many who say protecting all at the SOU is not in the cards...Who to believe????
"Trump is offering every chance for face-saving compromise"
Take my wall or nothing.....yeah sure, face saving in trump land is no compromise.....
Yes, some sort of wall funding in exchange for what the Democrats want. That's what compromise is about.
Who to believe????
It was the Department of Homeland Security and The Secret Service who said that security would be fine for the SOTU.
Since they are in charge of that security and are not affected (at all) by this partial shutdown...
I suspect that they know a little more than Pelosi.

Yep all of Us adults know it.
At some point the Government will re-open. President Trump has moved the most toward the center.
Chuck in Nancy are still behind the starting line.
