Pelosi says House will block Trump's State of the Union until government is open
CNBC ^

Posted on 01/23/2019 11:50:53 AM PST by jstolzen

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that Democrats will not authorize President Donald Trump to give his State of the Union in the House chamber until the partial government shutdown ends.

The California Democrat's letter to Trump escalates a standoff over the annual address hours after the president said he would give the speech in the House chamber next week as planned. Earlier this month, Pelosi urged him to reschedule the speech during a partial government shutdown.

He only need to call a joint session of Congress starting at noon the day of his speech. That would resolve all legal nuance.

However, that does not mean that everyone would show up at the speech. There are some Dims from some districts that would get away with being absent and their constituency would praise them for it.

But that empty chair over Trumps left shoulder on the teevee will not play well for Nancy.

He should simply give the SOU to the American people in a very large public venue and invite the Congress to either show up or watch it on TV.

No matter what Pelosi does now, she looks like sh!t to 70% of the electorate.

I’m seriously concerned about Pelosi’s mental status. She obviously is having some psychological issues. Delusion, aggression, etc. Perhaps it’s time to remove her from the House as she could be a danger to her country. Where are the men in the white jackets when you need them?

Do it in the senate. Have VP Pence and Leader McConnell sitting behind. Do not give advance copy to Democrats or media. No Pelosi. Being out of the spotlight will crush her.

Alternatively, do it from oval

How about projecting his State of the Union onto the Moon’s surface for the whole world to see? But, will have to wait until the phase is right so the sunlit side is facing away from us ... darn! Next time!

The Deep State, having failed miserably at their many coup attempts, are now on Plan Z. They will start a Civil War to make Pelosi President.

I’m happy you posted this; called into Hannity’s show, got a call back after Pelousy did the cancellation, then Hannity repeated exactly what I told Kylie what I wanted to talk about without so much as a “by your leave”. Kinda pissed me off but at least it got talked about.

Pelousy is obviously suffering from infantile “I’m a gonna take my ball and go home” tantrum syndrome, as well as dementia. It’s dangerous to leave a position of great power in her demented hands.

What a big baby, Nanny is.

Imagine Nancy Pelosi negotiating with Pooty Poot or China or any manly country. (can’t include the EU because they’re a bunch of pansies.)

Glad you took the initiative to contact Hannity, no matter who it is that gets the credit. Every little bit of pressure on the slime in DC helps, and you never know if it might be something you’ve done for the cause that tips the balance.

Time to push the issue or get over run for no reason, Go Trump, take a secret service and seal team in, kick the door in and give the speech, and beat the batchit crazies back to their bs skeerd brains
