Rep. Steny Hoyer just told NBC News that Pres. Trump has been “disinvited” from making the state of the union address.
Jake Tapper@
House Majority @LeaderHoyer: “The State of the Union is off.”
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
“... if POTUS should decide to do the SOTU in writing, the media will have the opportunity to redact from their coverage whatever hurts the demz.”
On the other hand, he could send over the SOTU address completely redacted.
Hardball, anyone?
Of course, and he should do so TODAY.
“...hold it in Swollen Groin. TX” “Or Intercourse, PA,”
No. No. Climax, Georgia, please.
That’s exactly what I said on another thread!
This is true.
But 90% of the FReepers here do not know this.
They believe Hoyer canceled the SOTU.
Knee Jerking is still our best trait.
Oh please! Clutch your pearls and have a fainting couch ready darlin’! You’re gonna need it! Lol
“The formal basis for the State of the Union Address is from the U.S. Constitution: The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Article II, Section 3, Clause 1.”
How can the Senate R’s fold if Trump will not go along with it. McConnell is up for election in 2020 in a red state. If he folds he loses his re-election. The pressure on the Dems is causing them more trouble than the media report. The effort to postpone State of the Union reveals they realize they are losing the public relations battle the longer this goes. Some Democrats are starting to peel off and express support in the House while a number of Senate Democrats are worried about how it makes them look, especially up for election in 2020.
A compromise could center around vague language for border security that lets Trump build the wall and lets the Dems pretend they stood firm. Or even earmarking money collected from seizure of assets from drug traffickers to use for the Wall so that no new money is authorized.
From teh article, “Ultimately, the decision rests with Pelosi, not Trump.”
I think Nancy is going to find out the SOTU when/where decision rests with Trump and not Nancy. I think Trump is going to blow up tradition.
That’s what Rush suggested and he offered to introduce him.
Question, Madame Speaker: When you extended your invitation on January 3rd for the President to give his State of the Union Address, wasn't the government already in a shutdown? Why, then, did you extend the invitation in the first place?

That would be the funniest Presidential smackdown ever! HA!
Thank you for posting that, I will borrow it, to tell all my friends...
I don’t think President Trump should have anything to do with those sexual deviants, bigots, racists and freaks in The House on The Hill.
The speaker has to give the President permission to enter the House. The Sgt at Arms has the authority to deny entry to the President.
But there is no reason the State of the Union address cannot be given in a larger venue with the Judicial branch, The Senate,House Republicans ( the House Dems will boycott), in which the public can attend.
Can you imagine a 65,000 attendance by the public in support of PDJT with the other branches of government in attendance without Pelosi?
A TRUMP rally and State of the Union Address combined ?
Pelosi has unleashed the Trump Kraken!
She will be very, very sorry she did. PDJT gets his wall.
The left loses big league.
Huzzah!
Maybe do a 50 state tour and do a state of the states as he goes. How many illegal aliens live and vote here? lol
We could use the morale boost after our recent humiliation.
Or do a State of the Union speech from the Oval Office and do a rundown of how many illegal reside in each state. The people in each state want to know exactly how many have invaded in their locales.
Good point........they had to do something to recover from the disastrous wall rebuttal.
