Build The Compromise!

Jonah Goldberg contemplates the next government shutdown and makes a seemingly obvious point about Pelosi's power position:

Pelosi might be the first political adversary who is invulnerable to Trump’s attacks. Trump is dangerous to his preferred targets — other Republicans — precisely because he can sway his supporters, voters and MAGA media figures alike, to turn on those disloyal to him. He can’t do that with Pelosi.

Indeed, in an era of negative partisanship, Trump’s attacks make Pelosi stronger with her base and with many independents, who split evenly for Clinton and Trump in 2016, and who have largely turned against him and tuned out his appeals.

And because Pelosi controls a Democratic House, she is free to use her institutional powers against Trump in ways that Paul Ryan never could have, even if he had wanted to.

Well, yeah - Nancy is worried about tweets from Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, not Trump.

This does not bode well for a compromise, especially given Congress's long history of passing the buck on tough issues:

And while there are some Democrats and Republicans who would like to reach a compromise, both Pelosi and Trump have few incentives to do anything that will seem like capitulation. Many Republicans have already made peace with the idea of an emergency declaration, because it would let them off the hook for failing to pass wall funding.

Meanwhile, Trump is clearly enamored with the idea, believing it would convey strength and a willingness to fight. Yes, some court somewhere would instantly stay the order, but that would simply give everyone an issue to bleat about.

Trump would save face with his base and have a convenient bogeyman — runaway liberal judges! — to rail against. The move would divide the larger conservative movement while unifying Democrats, who’d scream “Dictator!” while quietly noodling about how a Democratic president could use the same powers for a “Green New Deal” or some other fantasy.

AllahPundit is on a similar page - the basis for a deal just isn't here:

Corralling Republicans is comparatively easy for Jared, though. All he needs to do is convince Trump and a critical mass of GOPers in Congress will surely follow. They live in fear for their political lives from him. Once Trump gave them cover by supporting the reform package, Jared knew he had the leverage to make a deal happen.

It’s conceivable that he’d duplicate that feat on immigration reform with Republicans. Get Trump to support a grand bargain and enough Senate GOPers will follow his lead to make passage viable. His problem is Democrats. And not just Democrats but Democrats who recently fought a month-long high-stakes political battle with Trump — and won. They’re less inclined to give him money for the wall right now than they would have been before the shutdown began. If either side is going to need extra concessions to make a deal, it’s Pelosi’s party, not Trump’s.

In fact, the big fight over the wall has made that particular plank of immigration enforcement a fetish for both sides. After going to the mat on it, Trump simply can’t accept a deal that lacks wall funding now. It doesn’t matter what else is in there — comprehensive e-Verify, some new limits to legal immigration (which Democrats will never agree to), etc. If he doesn’t get the wall, he loses, period. I don’t think the wall’s power as a fetish is *quite* as strong for Democrats, but it’s plenty strong. There are, I think, concessions that Trump might make that they’d seriously consider, like a permanent DREAM amnesty that includes a path to citizenship. But as I say, their “ask” now will be steeper than it was six weeks ago. It will take a major concession to make this happen.

So tell me: Is there any major concession Trump might make that the populist right would tolerate in the name of securing wall funding?

I can't elevate this to a Bold Prediction but do let me note that DC has a time-honored technique for resolving this sort of impasse - appoint a bipartisan commission to study the obvious and come back with a report telling us what we already knew, but let business continue as usual while we pretend we are learning something. As a recent example, the Simpson-Bowles deficit commission of 2010 was slated to report back after the 2010 elections. The commission was proposed in January 2010 as a fig leaf to break a debt-ceiling jam.

A Commission on Border Security could puzzle over all sorts of ideas to strengthen the border and in a calm debate there is no doubt in my mind that physical barriers would be a part of the solution for some parts of the border. The bigger problem is that the next real deadline past which both parties might want to kick this is the 2020 election. I don't see how Democrats on the panel could report favorably on physical barriers prior to the election.

Complicating the barrier question is the legal environment in the US. This Heritage report from 2009 sets the stage:

In some areas, erecting fences is the best way to tackle the illegal-entry problem. But the cost makes it important to use fencing only in areas with a low "melting point." The melting point is the time it takes for an individual to cross the border and "melt" into a landscape unnoticed. In urban border communities, spending money on physical barriers makes sense because individuals can easily cross the border and sneak quickly into the urban landscape (for example, one can hide in a building or steal a car and drive away). But in other areas, like the middle of the desert, the barren landscape makes it easy for Border Patrol agents to detect border crossers.

Well, yes but... Today, immigrants with children are happy to be detained in the US because they understand they won't be held for more than 20 days and our courts can't process their dubious asylum claims in that time frame. The Trump Administration is dealing with that by trying to keep asylum applicants on the Mexican side of the border.

prior to DJT’s election, I asked on this blog as to what Obama’s endgame was going to be. How was he going to end eight years of criminal activity and stay out of jail. The easy solution was to ensure HRC’s election to continue business as usual. Nobody expected DJT to win.

So what was plan B? The Russian collusion BS was not and could not protect the criminal enterprise and evil doers. Perhaps it was a warning to show what could happen.

Imagine if Obama had issued secret pardons to many of the major players and himself. Any and all federal crimes. Other than cases of impeachment there’s no restriction. There’s no publication requirement.

So Obama lets DJT know about the pardoning, but not who. Go after my people and they’ll produce the pardon and claim unfair targeting was expected.

No 3D or 4D chess required to explain what’s been going on.

We have had Miele, and Fisher-Playkel dishwashers. Both are good but the two drawer Fisher-Playkel is the best we have used. Miele in Southampton, and Fisher-Playkel in Southampton. When we do use a dishwasher its because we did a lot of cooking with pots and pans.

the difference between men and women is that women do the dishes after they eat; men do them before they eat.

I don't personally do dishes anymore, but I had a college suite-mate who'd stay at his girlfriend's for a few days and then they'd sweep into the suite on random nights and make dinner, leaving the dirty dishes in the sink in the shared bathroom before taking off for another few days.

One day I put all the dirty dishes in his bed, under the covers.

As I'm sitting in the suite room that evening, in comes "Sunny" and his girlfriend, and they proceed to enter his room, apparently never turning the light on until I heard the noise of them landing on the bed.

"Who the fuck put the dirty dishes in my bed!!!" he raged, bounding out of the room.

"I did."

Sunny moved out that night.

Jane, it’s unimaginable, but maybe some whose marriage or economic situation falls apart unexpectedly. But why not put the baby up for adoption?

[jimmyk]

To continue, we have friends who adopted a baby under those circumstances. The mother came to the hospital to give birth, and told the staff that she didn’t want to keep the baby, could they find someone to take it. Our friends had been trying to adopt, and he was a doctor at that hospital, so the staff immediately thought of him. It was such a godsend.

Joke from BJG.
With a moral.

"A man named Jack walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm.
He sat down next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the bar and stared up at the TV as the 10:00 news came on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.
Alexandria looked at Jack and said, “Do you think he’ll jump?”
Jack says, “You know what, I bet he will.”
Alexandria replied, “Well, I bet he won’t.”
Jack placed $30 on the bar and said, “You’re on!”
Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death.
She was very upset and handed her $30 to Jack, saying, “Fair’s fair… Here’s your money.”
Jack replied, “I can’t take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o’clock news and knew he would jump.”
Alexandria replies, “I did too; but I didn’t think he’d do it again.”"

Moral:
"Thus is the reasoning of socialists… they’ve seen societies that adopt socialism die repeatedly throughout history, but think that it won’t happen again"

There's so much chum worthy in that piece:

It’s not that political parties don’t often have to make ideological adjustments to remain in power – both Republicans and Democrats have done so.  Barack Obama, for all that he was a progressive president on social issues, still governed largely on a platform to the right of Harry Truman, thanks in no small part to the great successes of Reagan and his successors. It’s that conservatism, which as I said is not the same as the party, cannot afford the constant emotional yo-yo of claiming that everything depends on the next election. And the next one. And the next one.

They get a clue half way through, though.

Dave (in MA) does your bird talk? Does it sound like you? I smile every time I see the picture. My aunt had a mynah bird and it sounded just like her. My aunt and uncle lived in town near my high school. A few times when I missed the bus,I'd walk to their house to call my father to pick me up after work. I'd knock on the door and hear,"hello." I never knew if it was my aunt or the bird talking until she answered the door.

[matt - deplore me if you must]

Ig, I was thinking the same thing. In Rome, they would leave infants on the side of the road. Sometimes, if the child had no birth defects, slavers would take them.

I happened to turn the radio to EWTN, the catholic radio station, and they had a special on abortion and how now the evil is so very apparent.

Apparently, when a woman enters a abortion mill, the advisors, not medical personnel, recommend RU-486 or an alternative. The propaganda says it is safe, painless, and fast acting. Apparently it is a two stage process. One pill at the clinic and another at home.

Then comes the wrenching birth pain; the cramps, the violent shakes, all of the pain of birthing. Blood gouts onto the floor or the bed and the fetus is expelled.

The bleeding can last days or weeks, but they don't tell the poor women that. It can also kill.

But the clinics love it because it reduces liability.

We are talking Mengele level evil. I would nominate Cuomo and that asshole in VA for the Josef Mengele Foundation Award. Just when you thought it couldn't get more monstrous, it does.
