I hope you are right about the demoncraps willing to be more cooperative.  If so, there should be no shutdown again on Feb 15, right? What concerns me about the necklace is, it might possibly have been a comfort issue.  What if the clasp at the back of the necklace was bothering her when she rose, and possibly pulled on her hair or something?  It would be natural  to move it slightly off center so her hair doesn't pulled again, when she tries to rise.  So I say 50-50 chance the necklace was moved off center to send a coded message.  We'll see in 8 days. The part about China and leash is right on.  China OWNS the Demoncrap party lock, stock and barrel...just ask Feinstein (who was MIA at the SOTU by the way....hopefully because she is in court at GITMO).
