Great place.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Frankly, doing away with the speeches would be a good thing. An opinion I’ve held since the early 90s.

---

I would have agreed with you in the past, given the weak GOP presidents we’ve endured. They always came across as weak in their SOTU addresses because they WERE weak.

Trump is not. He comes across as a strong leader. He’s a great speaker. He needs to do this in person.

Democrats have thrown down the gauntlet to Trump. Pelosi must be terrified of what Trump will say.

This is childish behavior but the Democrats have nothing left except to throw a temper tantrum at Trump.

He has them right where he wants them. Pelosi chose..., poorly.

Regression.

However, left wing progress is regression to the United Kingsom political organization. American liberals have no original thought beyond mimicing the UK

[DCBryan1]

need the StarWars alien pic...

I believe Nan is playing into POTUS hands. He had to show reasonable & allow her to show herself as unbalanced & out of control. Now he is free to have a spectacular SOTU at whatever venue he thinks will send the most powerful message. She looks like a rigid frustrated crazy oldbat.

"Look you stupid hag, we dont serve you. YOU serve us, the American people."

That Capitol Building, both Houses of Congress, and everything in it belongs to the American people, not her. And it will be open whenever we say it will.

[Drew68]

Trump should just have the report printed and downloadable.

Screw that! I want to see Pelosi's uncomfortable grimace standing behind the president as he reminds America that the shutdown is wholly due to the intransigence of the Democrats.

[digger48]

If he does it at a rally, it will give the media a semi-legitimate reason to not broadcast it.

They may still boycott it if he gives it from the White House, but those that do will see the ratings spike

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I’m pretty sure there’s a line in the Constitution that allows the President to call the Congress into session under certain circumstances

Congress is already in session.

[JayGalt]

I think he is conning her into a face off and she’s going to lose.

[Lazamataz]

Walk in with Secret Service armed with machine pistols.

Set up a speaker and microphone system.

Kill anyone who interferes.

[PIF]

President Pelosi knows best ...

[Ted Grant]

He can give the state of the union speech anywhere, and just deliver a written version afterward. She can’t block anything except the venue under her dominion.

[TruthWillWin]

[nikos1121]

How can she block this? She’s not the president. Shouldn’t the House vote on this?

[mewzilla]

Where IS Pelosi?!

[PIF]

How about live address from the southern border with Angel families?

[marajade]

How can she really stop him?
