House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Blocks President Trump Entry into Capitol Building Confirms State of Union Speech Cancellation
It looks like Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi has no intention of allowing the House chamber to be used for a State of the Union address.
Speaker Pelosi has informed the House Sergeant at Arms that no executive branch official will be permitted entry into the Capitol building.
Earlier Fox News reported Pelosi cancelled a walkthrough last week, and a second request for reconsideration from the White House is expected to meet the same fate. The House Speaker controls who is, and who is not, permitted entry to the House floor. Until Speaker Pelosi calls for a vote to support a joint session of congress, the President cannot enter the chamber.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley discusses the status of the current shutdown negotiations and the likelihood a SOU address will have to take place outside Washington DC.
She thinks she is Prime Minister
Good grief, we have an impeached/convicted judge elected to the House of Rep.
it behooves the president to exercise his authority and bring us in line with the intended reality.
Do you mean like Indiana, Utah, and North and South Dakota? Or do you mean Colorado and Nevada?:)
Trump can adjourn Congress per the Constitution.
Send them home bring them back when they have a better attitude.

Do we really have to bring them back? Just adjourn them, then ignore them.
You know what I meant.
You know what I meant too. This isn’t as easy as North and South.
“This isnt as easy as North and South.”
Exactly, and it’s not as easy as Republican and Democrat - especially across a 150 year divide.
There’s nothing different about the Democrats 160 years ago, 100 years ago, 70 years ago, or now. All had their temper tantrums because of what they thought they were entitled to, and all felt justified in splitting the country and attacking anyone who stood in their way.
“Theres nothing different about the Democrats 160 years ago, 100 years ago, 70 years ago, or now.”
How do you figure? In fact, the differences far outweigh the similarities.
The Democrats of the mid 1800s (a fraction of whom owned slaves) were concentrated in the rural South, and were rooted in the ethnicities, cultural heritage and economic interests of the Southern Colonies. Most of these Southern demographics now call themselves Republicans, because the Republican Party platform better represents their limited-government, anti-union, religious-freedom values.
Today’s Democrats, who concentrate in the urban North and the urban West coast, evolved completely separately, with wholly different cultural backgrounds and economic interests. They tend to favor labor unions, redistributive collectivism, and a powerful central government.
They share the name Democrat, but that’s where the similarity ends.
Your original comment - that the Democrats haven’t been this irrational since the Republicans took away their slaves - is quite defensible if you were being facetious. But if you meant it as a serious comment it’s just silly.
Save it for the Confederacy Amen Corner. The Democrats have been the party of using any means to get and keep what they think they’re entitled to since before the Confederacy. All that has changed is how they obtain and use their pawns.
