“Since when does the House dictate the terms of the State of the Union.”

For nearly 100 years the Speaker has INVITED POTUS to give the SOU before a joint session of congress.

“It’s a big deal when the head of the legislative branch of our government does something like this to the head of the executive branch. Truly, a very big development.”

Yes, it is. And I am surprised (sort of) that few others here have noted this. Pelosi is moving into territory that we don’t want to go into. Governments have fallen on things starting like this...

I like the idea, but I wonder if the security apparatus could handle that with the furlough.

Who does she think she is?

Trump should go tell her to pound sand.

Your solution sounds simple and entirely plausible. There is always a HOWEVER or BUT lurking in govt manipulators on both sides. Agendas involved as well as just plain political gaming. I hope the pro Trumpers prevail.

If he gives it to congress, nobody will know for sure what it actually said.

They’ll butcher it and then give us what they want us to hear.

Hold your ground President Trump.

She did invite him and is now trying to back out of it. Is that protocol, too? And she has gone beyond the invite.

IF Pelosi does something like that, Trump will deliver a speech that will blister her hide. And the hides of her cohorts.

IF he does it from the White House, I would like to see LARGE photos of Pelosi’s house-—WITH HER WALL—and others in Congress who have walls or high fences on easels behind the President. That kind of visual really hits home with the citizens.

Pelosi is even more out of control with her double standards.

Would love to see him hold it in a forum where the public can come & witness it first hand. Not many places available like that on short notice, and he has to be safe.

A written copy should be given to the officials of the National Archives-—AFTER he has given the speech. Along with a copy of the video.

I wouldn’t let any of the Dems have anything in writing they can tamper with-—and we here at FR all know that such a tampering would be too hard to resist.

“Who’s going to read it to Congress?”

Subtle, very subtle...

You can bet that there will not be one less security person necessary to insure the safety of the President and members of Congress.

PHOTOS of Pelosi’s WALL & other Congressional critter domiciles with walls & fences should be displayed on easels behind the President.

“Ironic that Nancy cited “security concerns” for Congress in postponing the speech, but doesn’t care about security concerns for regular Americans due to the porous border.”

Bingo.

Someone else suggested Angel Moms .... after Pelosi would not meet with them when they came to her office, I like that idea. It would all but guarantee she wouldn’t show up.

Usually, the speech is known prior to the delivery. Bet that won’t happen this time around.

Has Mitch invited the POTUS to give the SOTU from the Senate Chamber yet?

"Good Lord....she went full retard."

________________

This entire situation is absurd.

This is what happens when lowlife Democrats' bad behavior is ignored over many years and decades....... ignored by lazy, go-along Republicans.

The Dems. and Pelosi are like spoiled, stupid, incorrigible children.

At this point this country is unrecognizable.

Pubbies proving, once again, they prefer Nancy & the commie Dems to be in control.

She has whipped them all into obedience, it appears.

If she doesn’t want him to deliver it in the chamber, he should deliver it on the Capital steps.

"Better yet, find a very big stadium and invite the American people to a state of the union speech."

Sounds great!
