Pelosi schools Trump yet again - oopsy no State of The Union Address this year!

[reagansghost]

McConnell can invite him being Nancy's superior (in every way)

then why doesn't he slick?

[Getin the ring]

They actually are the most direct national representatives of "the people" that we have in our government.

so "theoretically" speaking when the house sent the budget that included the 5 bill for the wall over to the Senate, with the president waiting to sign it, that would have kept the government open

the prudent thing for Chucky to do would have been???

come on tiny you can handle this one

[Wolverine]

then why doesn't he slick?

He will !

[reagansghost]

He will !

really?

link?

[Wolverine]

really?

link?

My gosh you are thick, if he will, it means he hasn't yet, you child!

No problem. He can deliver the address on national TV from the WH, while also sending a written copy of it to Congress, wherever they might be vacationing at the time.

How'd that work out last week?

Oh right, more people watched the Democratic response than his address, and his approval rating fell as more blamed him for the shutdown.

But by all means, continue that strategy.

[Damocles]

Doesn’t quite have the same impact, does it.

It would depend. I'm sure he could rent a location and invite a bunch of republicans to a clapterfest to give it ambience... I couldn't care any less. At some point this will end and we'll all have a spectacular social event where we'll play a drinking game on how many times Trump says "believe me" and "yuge" and talk all about it for weeks. The republicans will say it is his "best speech ever" the democrats will say the response "owned his orange self" though only 12 people watched it and life will continue normally.

Why $5B?

Trump said he needed $25B. Then he said he needed $15B. Now you're saying he needs $5B.

Here's a counter offer: $0.

Suck it.

It is held in the chamber that she is in charge of, he can do it elsewhere, but not in the House Chamber, unless she agrees.

Not held in the House chamber, it will just be any other speech...

That is some weak sauce. But if that's what the dems want to baste their entree with, so be it. I think she ends up ticking off independent thinkers. The high road does not include making things are harsh as possible. I understand her stance on the wall and the principled action to allow a shut down, but it's at odds with purposefully making the impact worse.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has thrown a wrench into President Donald Trump’s primetime plan to blame Democrats for the shutdown.

Citing security concerns on Wednesday, Pelosi called on the president to delay his State of the Union Address — or submit it in writing — if the government was still shut down.

According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Trump speechwriter Stephen Miller had been planning to blame Democrats for the shutdown as a centerpiece of the annual speech.

My colleague @kaitlancollins adds some context: Stephen Miller and other WH speechwriters have been working on the SOTU address for weeks. An administration official said they were prepared to craft it around the government shutdown, targeting Democrats, if it was still closed

Pelosi first extended the invitation for Trump to address Congress after she became Speaker on Jan. 3. As Speaker, she has the power to rescind the invitation.

Trump said on live television that he would be happy to take responsibility for the shutdown and wouldn't blame Chuck & Nancy.

Looks like he's not as good as his word.

Which means you're not as good as your word.

He can invite the guy into the much smaller Senate chamber.

Is that what you think?

How'd it work out last week?

Oh right, terribly for Trump; more people watched Chuck and Nancy than him, and his approval rating dropped as blame for the shutdown fell on him.

But please, continue that strategy. By all means.
