I was thinking about this thread and others by @HNIJohnMiller regarding strategy and Batman Gambits. Specifically regarding Boss's "capitulation" to Nancy Pelosi over the SOTU.
A lot of people, on our side and especially Pelosi expected Boss to escalate. "You can't fucking tell me I can't give the SOTU! I'll fucking show you!"
That's a noob mistake.
That's a noob mistake.
This isn't a Batman Gambit. It's not even a Kobayashi Maru where Boss reprograms the simulator. No this is something completely unexpected:
The Cartman Gambit!
The Cartman Gambit!
To completely gain advantage over an opponent is to not play his game.
You can be sure Pelosi and her I'll had a brief moment of excitement. "I can't believe that worked. Did he really back down?"

No, bitch. Boss stopped playing your game which means he's not bound by your rules. You completely unshackled him and didn't even realize it.
