Wouldn’t that be telling? ...ie if she withdrew her invitation for president to enter the floor of the House. WOW!
Security concerns? Nancy could careless about securing our border. Why is she worried? What does she know? Time to investgate.
And no Democrat rebuttal
Now Nancy thinks she's Emperor and all must bow to her whim? KEEP THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN... DON'T GIVE AN INCH PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Did the Dems re-schedule their Puerto Rico fun n sun on the beach get away?
Oh Gosh. Please don’t post things that make me think of NP and Chucky in bathing suits!!!!!
Does she have another Hawaiian vacation planned for that day?
There is no date given, nor does it have to be given in person.
What do the rules say the speech has to be via a specific location? Invite those who wish to attend to the White House ball room or other; exclude the MSM who does not have to be there or scale it back to 10 MSM members.
He could deliver it right from the good ol Oval Office.
Remember last time she was speaker under Bush and she announced herself as “the most powerful woman in the world” and demanded her own Air Force 1?? She did it again, 2 weeks ago Anderson Cooper interviewed her and one of the first questions he asked her was “How does it feel to be the most powerful women in the world?” Gee, why would he ask that? I’m SURE Nancy didn’t tell him to, right? This lunatic thinks she’s like the Queen of the freakn’ universe, totally obsessed with power.
He’s gonna get her and the dems good...perhaps have it behind her wall at her residence if the only concern is the security.
Yes, he can send it by writing, which is his prerogative. There is no provision for a televised showcase, which is an invention of the modern era.
Pretty interesting from her pov. Too bad the gop didn’t play hardball with Obama.
...
Are you seriously asking this or rhetorically?
GOP is part of the Demoncrat party...where have you been?
Like maybe 5 members are true patriots; the remainder are globalists. Ryan, McConnell are GOP...see what I mean?
Take her airplane
The Rose Garden would be nice.
Except that the weather in DC at this time of the year is pretty iffy.
Probably wouldn't be good for RBG's "recuperation and recovery", either.
The situation is very simple.
The SOTU is to be given to Congress. If there is diagreement between House and Senate, then technically the POTUS may adjourn both and carry on the laws of the government.
He then would schedule the SOTU in the same chamber for both to be present by order, then when they are there, have the Secret Service issue little invitation envelops to each one of the Democrats, just like were issued at Pres Bush’s funeral.
If the Democrats want to ignore the POTUS during the speech, they can hold their hands over their ears and mumble Na-Na-Na-Na to themselves, but not to disturb others. They can then be broadcast on National TV and the Internet manifesting their behavior and disregard for reopening the government.
It will also be over 30 days of no funding, so then permanent layoffs may begin, starting with their offices.
Should they disobey and seek to overthrow the legitimate government, they can face charges of sedition and treason, mandating their removal from office and either imprisonment or capital punishment to be swiftly executed. Besides, most of them will be facing the tribunals regardless of their behavior and their disobedience may be used to seal their fates.
Pelosi should keep it simple. Invite the President then tell her Democrat Representatives to put their hands over their ears and hum Na-Na-Na-Na-Na to themselves quietly. It will make a great photo op to document their maturity levels.
She want to deny Trump the broadest, most prestigious platform in the world.
He should give the address from the oval office instead.
The demon rats want to stay in Puerto Rico a bit longer, on their ‘vacation’.
The whole SOTU speech thing is BS. A report is required by the constitution.
If he simply submitted a report the left would go nuts suggesting it is unprecedented. Actually, the opposite it true. It has been a self serving propaganda tool for the3 past 100 years. Its time we went back to doing it on a postcard.
A real annual report for the US would be horrifying...publishing those audited figures would be hilarious.
