The optics of her telling him to get out or not allowing him in will be great.

This President has stones the size of brass grapefruits. O_O

It'll be fascinating to watch how the far-left chuckleheads in the House try to spin a refusal to permit President Donald J. Trump to fulfill his constitutional duty to keep Congress and the American people apprised of the state of the Union. Just fascinating! o_o

P.S. 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. Heeheehee!

“Guy Benson just pissed me off to my limits. “Childishness” my butt.”

Well, his wife is Mary Katherine Hamm, a major Trump hater — so there’s that.

Literally a house divided against itself. We are entering dangerous times. Hopefully the Sargent-at-arms can arrest Nancy.

Just imagine If Paul Ryan had uninvited Obama?

STENY HOYER BREAKS WITH PELOSI, SAYS HE WOULD WELCOME TRUMP ON HOUSE FLOOR FOR SOTU ADDRESS
BY Henry Rodgers | Daily Caller Capitol Hill Reporter

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he would be willing to allow President Donald Trump to give his State of the Union address on the House floor, breaking with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Fox News’ Neil Cavuto asked Hoyer if he’d be open to allowing Trump to address everyone in person.

“Sure,” Hoyer responded.

Cavuto then asked if he thought Pelosi would also allow Trump to give the speech on the House floor Jan. 29.

“Look, I don’t know what the discussions have been, so I don’t want to say,” Hoyer replied. He also said “physical barriers are a part of the solution” in his appearance, something Democrats have adamantly opposed.

The White House contacted the U.S. Capitol looking to schedule a walk-through for its staff Monday, despite being uninvited by Pelosi earlier in January.

House Democrats will still have to come to an agreement in order for Trump to give his annual address.

The building belongs to us, but the House chamber belongs to the House.

Just as Queen Elizabeth gets the doors of the Commons slammed in her face and must ask leave to enter, the President cannot command the floor of the House unless, like Cromwell, he brings the army with him.

now he's indicating that it's his intention to show up and give the speech as planned. This leaves Pelosi with two bad options: (1) Formally rescind the invitation and try to bar Trump from delivering the annual address inside the House chamber, as has become the longstanding tradition, or (2) back down, then devise some other method of undermining his message.

Perfect. That is the approach I hoped he would take.

Piglosi will fake an illness.

That’s what slackers do. To avoid work or school or any unpleasant job (like ending a humanitarian crisis or opening the government for business), they often will “call in sick”.

You heard it here first folks. Nancy will be a no show. Severe case of HUA. (Head Up Ass).

How far does Nancy’s and the crazier fringe of the Democrat party extend? Is there an actual security threat. Would some of them actually try an assassination attempt, for instance?
