trump will respond with a good comeback Im sure


He will make her regret she ever brought this up.

The “ union” is us not the government bureaucracy........

Our social security checks made it on time and in full today, so don’t believe anything about “ these won’t get paid” if the news media or Dems try to twist that one in any form....

President Trump will deliver his address to a joint session of Congress as scheduled. The democrats will boycott it. Who cares?

President Rump is making Pelosi look ridiculous.

And when they boycott the address, they will not be allowed to have a reply on the Networks.

Pelosi will soon be laughed out of office.

Then he’ll deliver it from the Oval Office and blame it on the Dems.
You’re not very good at trolling for all your experience.

And since in a speech in a stadium, no Democratic response. Let them stew on that.

I thought of that, too - but the RATS would insist on a response (I think Occasional-Kotex would be perfect) and the media would insist on airing it.

She owns the chamber and the invitation. He has no right to deliver it without her invitation.

I hope he gives a rousing speech, chastising the democrat’s obstruction, with a video playing behind him, showing mobilized convoys of SeaBees and COE construction equipment moving toward the border.

If the Dems boycott, will the Senate Chamber hold the full contingent of Pub Congress members?

Absolutely. He can send out invites to all of the senators and congressman and dignitaries (make sure he requires an r.s.v.p.) Perhaps the few Republican congressman could force a house vote on the proposal to force pelosi to have the State of the Union on the house floor, in order to get all of the democrats on record.

That there would be a report to Congress, not the date. And Presidents initially made a written report, not one in person. I forget which president began delivering it in person.

U.S. Constitution - Article 2 Section 3

"He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."

Read this please. Thank you.

PS: It says nothing about being invited or anything else.
