Davos : economic policy :: TED talks : ideas

A good excuse for a weekend if you're on expense account, but they're the Oscars for rich pseudo-intellectuals.

Correct, it's basically a ski junket for the ultra-wealthy to get drunk, eat raclette, introduce each others' kids for potential arranged marriages, and listen to each other ramble on.

Big boy Donnie just announced he’s doing SOTU speech.
Doesn’t Nancy have to invite him?

You let me down Kep: I was hoping you'd work a "plutes" in there somewhere; but, you're not wrong.

Davos actually does have some self-hating Plutes, or anyway some semi-self-aware Putes. The kind of people who read Picketty and then say "though of course a wealth tax could never work... don't be silly."

Imagine Harvard but with actual class.

Speaking of feckless.
"Listen this is, it's not fair to you and we all get that, but this is so much bigger than any one person,” Trump responded.

“It is a little bit of pain but it's going to be for the future of our country, and their children and their grandchildren and generations after them will thank them for their sacrifice,” she said. “Right now, I know it's hard. I know people have families, they have bills to pay, they have mortgages, they have rents that are due.

Wanna bet he delivers it in the Senate chambers?

you're likely to lose that bet. The layout of the Senate chamber is not conductive to a joint session like SOTU -- the House chamber has 448 permanent seats (first come first serve) plus gallery seating, and whatever temporary seating they can fit. The floor of the Senate has 100 desks, each assigned to an individual senator.

Trump vows to deliver State of the Union from House chamber

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump insisted in a letter Wednesday he would deliver his annual State of the Union address from the chamber of the US House next week as planned, telling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi her concerns about security during a partial government shutdown were unfounded.

Trump's letter, written with his characteristic flourish, sets up a potential showdown with the Democratic speaker, who controls the chamber's proceedings and must allow for a vote on his speech.

"I will be honoring your invitation, and fulfilling my constitutional duty, to deliver important information to the people and Congress of the United States of America regarding the State of our Union," Trump wrote in his letter.

He said the speech would occur on January 29 from the House chamber.

What I find most interesting is how Trump failed to mention during his Saturday talk to the nation on Cable the Stephen Miller poison pills that are in his bill. Not once were they brought up. It's not just about the Wall and it never has been just about the Wall. Frankly if it were just about the Wall I'd probably just give him the money as long as something "new", key word "new", was coming back.

What should happen is he should reinstate DACA, and TPS as it was before he opened his big mouth (Supremes punted on DACA anyway). He should setup a streamlined humane process for asylum seekers (again on his own, he could get it done today) and then offer the Democrats something substantial. Then and only then can he have his 15 billion for the wall and give his SOTU in the House Chamber.

1. Think Mitch cares? He'd get to host --> ego stroke.
2. When has Trump cared about anyone's comfort but his own?

I'd say those two work well toward my bet coming in.
