Trump’s resolve is wreaking havoc on his (and our) enemies. Exciting to see these repeated demonstrations of true leadership from him.

The “amateur” politician continually outmaneuvering the “professional” politicians.

The likeliest scenario is that Democrats boycott the speech en masse

That would be the worst thing they could do, it proves they will not work with Trump, that they will not negotiate to reopen government. It would only confirm that THEY are the problem, not the solution. Nope, they will have to take their medicine, sit thru it and scowl as Trump lands blow after blow on them.

Best possible outcome:

1. Pelosi declares Trump is still not invited.

2. President Trump calls the House into session for that date in accordance with his powers under Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution: The President . . . “may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them”.

3. Democrats all boycott the session.

4. Republicans in Congress, instead of sitting still for a speech, use their session without democrats to pass all remaining funding bills in one vote, and they include $50B for the Wall. Then they listen to the speech.

5. Despite their nature, Republicans in the Senate pass the House bills with no changes, so POTUS can sign them into law.

6. President Trump builds the Wall.


I know it’s a fantasy and the GOPe would betray real Americans, but it’s a very pretty fantasy.

Just imagine If Paul Ryan had uninvited Obama?

It's more likely he would have banned Trump.

Would some of them actually try an assassination attempt, for instance?

They would and will. The Leftist revolution is well underway, and there will be assassinations AND executions aplently in the years just ahead.

The murderous scum from the south who are killing cops and civilians---children even---aren't unaware of the ongoing battle.

Only we are.

LOL. POTUS will come to the HOR to give the speech, and then liberal judges will come out of the wood works screaming he violated separation of powers. The House will start impeachment because POTUS gave the SOTU without Nancy’s permission. A novelist couldn’t create better satirical fiction...

The way I read article 2 Section 3, Sounds like constitution gives him some power over congress if he can just adjourn them at will...

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;

"Yes, I know that I shouldn't technically be capitalizing the word "President" as seen in the first sentence, but it's so much fun to rattle the cages of the leftists at every possible opportunity."

Heh --- I like the cut of your jib!

Would be an interesting stand-off between Secret Service who can’t allow anyone to place a hand on the POTUS and the House Sergeant-At-Arms if she commands that Trump be physically presented from entering the room.

I bet she refuses to sit on the dais behind him and leaves an empty chair.

I wonder if the entire D caucus will boycott it?

It gets better by the minute.

Funny, I’m not tired of winning yet....

‘prevented’, obviously, not ‘presented’.

If Democrats are smart and live in the real world...the best and only thing they can do is to fire Nancy Pelosi as the House Speaker, and replace her with Democrat, Steny Hoyer, who has publicly stated he will welcome POTUS, Trump to the House Chamber to deliver his SOTU speech.

Action less than dumping Pelosi will give Trump a field day victory and a Pelosi gift to Trump that will keep giving its lunacy and madness, forever. I hope Pelosi hangs tough...what a show, as a major political party, Democrats, comes apart by the actions of its own hands!!! Go...Nancy, Nancy...throw POTUS, Trump from the House floor...do it, or shut up!!!

Heh. No.

She purportedly voted (in the minority) in yesterday’s SCOTUS decision of transgenders in the military.

Brings a whole new meaning to “Out-of-sight, out-of-mind”.
