Pelosi takes away Trump's TV
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | January 16, 2019 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 01/16/2019 6:59:11 PM PST by artichokegrower

To say House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has mastered the art of dealing with President Donald Trump would be a gross understatement. She fact-checked him in the Oval Office on live TV and passed spending bills to reopen the government, thereby reinforcing Trump's responsibility for the shutdown. To top it off, she's taking away the president's TV. More precisely, in response to Trump's nearly monthlong temper tantrum, she has told him he won't get his prime-time State of the Union address on Jan. 29.

ROFLOL

The delusion is breathtaking.

The DIMs shutdown just keeps going and going and going. I hope the natives in SanFranNan’s poopy town don’t scale her walls when they’re needing food in a few weeks.

Who believes any shit printed in the SF Chronicle?

Long ago, the “paper” lost any credibility it once had.
Not even worthy of wrapping fish in the rag.

That point of view comes from birdcage bottom paper SF Chronicle. Not nearly a true representation of what is going on. However, Trump needs to take the gloves completely off with Pelosi. Give her a beatdown in every way possible.

“Actually all Trump has to do is do the address from the OVAL OFFICE..”

I hate to disagree with you, but the President needs to give the address before a live audience with thunderous applause after each line. The affirmation from the audience has an impact on TV viewers.

Exactly. Pelosi is already backtracking. She hasn’t taken away squat.

Rubin is just a delusional nut.

And, I guess the nut missed all the mocking Pelosi and Schmucky took after their pathetic response to Trump’s oval office remarks on the need for the border wall.

“Great opportunity for President Trump. Do the State of the Union in the Oval Office and he won’t have the hag Pelosi behind him at the normal venue.”

Good idea. I don’t think I can watch her suck her teeth for 90 minutes.

I hate to disagree with you, but...I disagree with you.
One side sitting on their hands and one side rising to applause in the manner you suggest...

Oh, wait...been there, done that.

You want a rerun? Not me. How about an original production!

I have to disagree with you. Nothing ‘trumps’ the authority of the Oval Office; and it would make a profound statement if the President removed this from politics and the usual ‘circus’, and focused again upon the border crisis, national security, and the danger that a feeble Southern border has put us all in for decades.

(Along with some ‘thunderous applause’, there’d also be Pelosi behind him mindlessly chewing her gums, and all sorts of other distraction. Americans need to hear from the President, straight, the situation that we are in, apart from all of this fanfare.)

Rubin is so clueless and certainly no Conservative.

Trump can bypass Nancy and go straight to the people or just show up and dare her not to let him give the SOU. That I would pay to see, what the Hell would they do, actually Bar Trump from coming and doing his Constitutional Duty???????????

San Fransisco Chronicle - like the filthy, varmint-infested city within which it resides - is full of sh*t. But then what else would expect from a place that advocates the normalcy of one man slipping his Johnson into another man’s sewer pipe? A vile and disgusting modern Sodom and Gomorrah that, Lord willing, will one day be swallowed up by the ocean - along with all its inhabitants.

Trump should just go to Congress with the intention of giving the SOTU. Let’s see if the commies call a baliff to escort Trump out of the chambers! I doubt it. This would make great theatre. If Trump did end up giving the speech either the Dems would walk out or Trump would give the speech.

This would be one of the rare times that all options would be a win for Trump. Americans (except the totalitarian leftists) don’t like censorship.

“One side sitting on their hands and one side rising to applause in the manner you suggest... “

If the Dims do not allow the President to speak in the House chamber, the Dim House members are certainly not going to crowd into the Senate chamber to hear the President. That means over 200 Dim naysayers will vanish from view.

And who knows, Nancy may order all Senate Dims to boycott as well. If we are lucky there will be 242 elected Republicans in the Senate Chamber which has normal seating for 100 - standing room only.

Throw in 5 Supreme Court Justices and some special guests in the gallery.

And not nary a sour Democrat in sight.

Rush mentioned this very idea. Hold a Trump rally as the State of the Union address that way you won’t have crazy Libs in the audience.

Yes. Just do an end-around on Congress.

Isn’t this Rubin wench supposed to be the resident token “conservative”

We are talking about the San Francisco Comical, where John McLame was their idea of a "true conservative".
