This is not a simple matter of neglect or incompetence though, this is deliberate. It is not as if they forgot, they did it on purpose. They are governing by ransom, effectively threatening Democrats with damage to the country, unless they acquiesce to their ludicrous demands for things they could not get through regular order.
Exactly. This isn't the first time Trump's been denied funding for his silly wall idea, it's happened before over the last two years while Republicans had complete control of the government/congress and while Trump threw a tantrum, he didn't throw one on this level. It's happening on this level now because Trump and Republicans are betting on the country turning on the Democrats over it.

So far that strategy seems to be failing, more people are blaming Trump apparently (and rightfully so).

So the Repubs are just taking a few pages out of the Democrat Play book then?

Gotchya!

Now Nancy Pelosi is saying Trump shouldn't have the state of the union or that he should deliver it from the oval office and she blamed it on the shutdown, saying that she feared that because of the shutdown security wouldn't be good enough.

Nah. Secret Service tends to be very loyal and dedicated....ESPECIALLY wen it is a Republican President...cause Democrats treat them like SHIT!

Yup they are saying there is no security issue. Pelosi seems desperate and I bet it is killing her that Trump hasn't even responded to her yet.

Trump has her on Ignore.

LOLZER!

The State of the Union is a national security special event that requires the full resources of the federal government, because the top three people in the presidential line of succession—the President, the Vice President, and the Speaker of the House—will all be in the same place at the same time.

And the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service are currently furloughed and working without pay.

If you do not see why that is national security risk, and why an address before Congress should be delayed, or it should delivered from the safety of the Oval Office, than you are a partisan moron.

Lol!

I know all this, but like I said...the SS have said there is no security issue.

Adam is probably hoping that there is an attack.

Here is how Trump responded:

Trump Pens BRUTAL Letter To Pelosi: Sorry, Your 'Public Relations' Trips Have Been Cancelled During Shutdown

LMFAO!

I hope Trump goes on and does the SotU regardless of concerns, he's going to whine like a little b!tch and the world will laugh at him, Trumpers aside of course, but they're the minority voters so who cares.

Gotta love how hypocritical Trump is on this
We don’t know when we’ll get our refund but he can still collect money for the average workers paycheck to fund bullshit like hisn proposed missile defense system
