^ OK, sorry. I didn't mean to criticise either of you for something that you weren't even saying.

Apparently Nancy Pelosi is being careful not to gloat in her moment of victory over Trump, but we don't have to be so restrained do we? In his Rose Garden announcement ending the shutdown he said, "I've made no concession." For once he's right! He's capitulated 100% and has gained nothing! After dragging his country through 34 days of misery, with a knock-on effect still to be reckoned with, he's signed something that was there on his table from day one. I wonder if he will be adding an appendix to "The Art of the Deal" to recommend his new-found negotiating tactic: folding, caving and humiliating yourself on the world stage.
