Welcome to Shutdown Theater

Pelosi demands Trump postpone State of the Union address citing security concerns. Problem is, there aren't any real security concerns and Pelosi didn't bother contacting the agencies responsible for that. Her letter is sufficiently dramatic to capture national attention. Even as readers are thinking, "you open the government, by showing a fraction of genuine concern for national security as Trump does."

Message fail.

Because we don't care if you attend the SOTU address or not. In fact we'd prefer not seeing your ugly faces and your ridiculous resistance antics, your choreographed not clapping, your scowls and so on. Your presence is irrelevant.

People smarter than me say it differently. Here's William Jacobson for Legal Insurrection.

Call her bluff. Hold an event elsewhere attended by Angel Families, police officers, Border Patrol agents, and all the other people Democrats hate, and invite whoever from Congress wants to attend.

Legal Insurrection has more of Pelosi's babbling. Commenters over there are very good. They could charge a dollar and a half just to see 'em.
