Let’s put it this way, just as Trump’s base loves him for fighting back, the Ocasio-Cortez types of the Democrat party love what Pelosi is doing too.

It remains to be seen what the non-base Americans think about this.

FWIW, the market I watch soared at approx. 2:40p for no other apparent reason. [;^]

I say he speak directly to the people from the Oval Office rather than through our dubious representation in the House, and go ahead, and send a copy of the address after the fact to her heinous.

Is President Trump trying to drive his supporters away? The only thing he should hand the Wicked Witch of San Francisco is a copy of the Executive Order that immediately starts construction of the wall.

And about four Americans killed, involved in our illegal activities in Syria? What the heck were they doing socializing in a town that still has fighters that haven't been purged? Why are they still there, after President Trump said he was bringing them home? My thought...is the US military presence there too cozy with those who are supposed to be our enemy? (ie ISIS-affiliated and Turks also illegally in Syria)

Each house has plenary authority to set its own rules. That surely implies management of time, manner, and place restrictions on its own chamber.

That means:

The President can't just show up and demand to be let in.

McConnell can't force the House to open at his direction.

Stretch has handed Trump a huge win on a silver platter; all that's required in the Constitution is that he deliver a "report" to Congress. If he wants a speech, he should give it in a friendly venue, then send Congress the transcript. That denies so-called "purple" Democrats the ability to look friendly and accommodating,

The hell with that, rent out a stadium and make it an event. Fill the bleachers behind him with Angel moms. We have thousands.
Have semi truck loads of cocaine bales on the stage surrounded by Marines with rifles.

The Dow jumped 250 points at 2:45.

Settled back down but that was pretty funny.

Does the Senate chamber have the capacity to accommodate both houses of Congress for the SOTU?

Schedule it, and when the time arrive have the Sergeant at Arms bar all dems, "for security reasons". There'll be enough room.

As Kevin Williamson aptly put it during the Obama Administration:

“The annual State of the Union pageant is a hideous, dispiriting, ugly, monotonous, un-American, un-republican, anti-democratic, dreary, backward, monarchical, retch-inducing, depressing, shameful, crypto-imperial display of official self-aggrandizement and piteous toadying, a black Mass during which every unholy order of teacup totalitarian and cringing courtier gathers under the towering dome of a faux-Roman temple to listen to a speech with no content given by a man with no content, to rise and to be seated as is called for by the order of worship — it is a wonder they have not started genuflecting — with one wretched representative of their number squirreled away in some well-upholstered Washington hidey-hole in order to preserve the illusion that those gathered constitute a special class of humanity without whom we could not live.”

Trump should do himself and the rest of us a favor and kill this monstrous tradition off once and for all. Send Congress a video address, post it on YouTube, and then hold a rally in Michigan.

“Then we’ll be treated to the spectacle of Trump addressing the nation with an empty chair over his right shoulder, with Democrats no doubt engaged in some sort of counterprogramming elsewhere for the hour.”

Well, there is a thing (much supported by the Gubmint) that he could maybe use...PBS..

After all the PUBLIC is entitled to hear him....Think PBS would deny?

“McConnell can’t force the House to open at his direction.”

They are talking about McConnell inviting him into the Senate chamber, not the house.

I think he’ll deliver it from the Senate chamber. Everyone in the congress will be welcome. Those who don’t show will have made a mistake.

The Rats simply don’t want the people to watch the President speak the truth.

The fire marshal could also ban entrance for most to the Senate. There are only 100 seats on the Senate floor, plus a certain number in the gallery.
