Quoted: It's hard to reneg and offer when you know you won't be taken up on it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: No shit. You know what'd be truly horrid optics? Trump reneging on his offer. If there was any doubt, Pelosi would order troops to attempt to take advantage. It's hard to reneg and offer when you know you won't be taken up on it. The housing change was reversed (thanks Rdak) after his offer. Whaddya suppose that means? |

You're really gonna argue Trump's foreign intervention is indistinguishable from Bush's or Obama's? LOL |

To the poo-poo'ers who say he's just doing it for optics, I believe he made the offer in earnest. That is to say, if they showed up, he would certainly honor it.
He likes creative solutions. Like what he did with the VA. Before, they had to wait, and wait for bureaucratic red tape, and he enacted policy to allow them to see a non-VA doc if they couldn't get in. I guess I'm a glass half full guy when it comes to believing Trump really loves America, and Americans. |

Quoted: 1 - The hotel only has 265 rooms. 2 - Do you sincerely believe the government would take him up on his offer? (if you do, I have a bridge to in NYC to sell you). Nothing more than a publicity stunt. View Quote 1. He lays the challenge at the feet of every other hotelier in D.C. 2. Why would they not? 3. Wrong. It is a sincere invitation. |

Quoted: So why do we need to shit on a bunch of NG troops who have real lives to attend to right now? Guardsmen are typically a great bunch of guys who are more than willing to do their mission. But they're not full-timers. There's no need to treat them this way. View Quote The Praetorian Guard was an elite unit of the Imperial Roman army whose members served as personal bodyguards and intelligence for Roman emperors. During the era of the Roman Republic, the Praetorians served as a small escort force for high-ranking officials such as senators or provincial governors like procurators, and also serving as bodyguards for high-ranking officers within the Roman legions |

Quoted: How is that on Trump? He put the offer out there. What they do is up to them. If they to decide to take him up, he will accommodate them. To be honest, I'm surprised nasty Nancy hasn't ordered the Generals to accept to make Trump look bad somehow. View Quote 1 - It's not Pelosi's say in the matter. 2 - How does the brass decide who is actually going to stay there? 3 - It was a gracious offer, but one that would never be taken up on and he (Trump knew it). When you make an offer and you know you aren't going to be taken up on the offer, why make the offer to begin with? To be gracious or for publicity? What people forget is that at the end of day, if it weren't for the spectacle on capital hill by a bunch of bozo's who didn't think things through, none of this would even be in play to begin with. Most of you are getting sucked into the 3 ring circus... |

So did AOC.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC 12h Yeah this is not okay. My office is free this week to any service members who’d like to use it for a break or take nap on the couch. We’ll stock up on snacks for you all too. (We’re in the middle of moving offices and it’s a bit messy so don’t judge, but make yourself at home!) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC 11h Update: looks like they’re letting them back into the Capitol. The offer on snacks, etc still stands! https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1352452462255419392 |
