I stand corrected, they yearly is more of a tradition than a requirement, however the point stands the Speaker of the House can't prevent the President from speaking at the House.
They would just bring in local PD to do the checks while the TSA agents were listed as AWOL from work. They could be fired for the action.***Mods, please move this to the appropriate “catch all forum” if necessary. I don’t know if you guys are still doing that or not****

Terrible idea.
Eh,
I dunno. I say cancel the state of the union. put the TSA agents on 4 day work weeks this week. 3 next, 2 the following. Same for NASA, the NSA, Homeland, the Military. As long as folks are calling this a shut down lets make it mean shut down.
no
Your response is elegant.
Can we start using another term for the shutdown then?
Slavery for essential employee days?
Wind down?
Small government month?
Shutting down more of the government is as dumb an idea as shutting down part of the government.
I did see where some folks (on Twitter) are toying with the idea of having “targeted walk outs” of TSA agents at major airports in red states as a way of putting pressure on the lawmakers from those states.
Whether there is any truth to that; I don’t know. But it would be interesting to see what voters in Georgia think of 9 hour delays at Hartsfield or 6 hour delays in Phoenix. They miss their flights home to see their parents or miss their connector out of Salt Lake due to the shutdown.
I don’t think anyone in line can blame the TSA workers for not working while not getting paid. Also I think these are the types of people who will be very vocal with their congress critters.
Why would the speaker NOT want the President to deliver the State of the Union during a government shutdown if such shutdown was a slam dunk for the speaker and a huge disaster for the President?***Mods, please move this to the appropriate “catch all forum” if necessary.

Methinks Pelosi has some polling figures that she does not like.
But I am just speculating.
Maybe Maxine told Nancy Donald needed a good slap up the side of his head, so, Nancy bitch slapped him to appease Maxine.Why would the speaker NOT want the President to deliver the State of the Union during a government shutdown if such shutdown was a slam dunk for the speaker and a huge disaster for the President?***Mods, please move this to the appropriate “catch all forum” if necessary.

------------------------------------------- my OPINION is that the Audience for the Address is the American people rather than Congress WWatcher .I stand corrected, they yearly is more of a tradition than a requirement, however the point stands the Speaker of the House can't prevent the President from speaking at the House.
Sure she can. She can't prevent him from speaking to the nation, nothing requires that she allow him to speak on the floor of the House. Just like she can't be admitted to the Oval Office without his permission.
He can speak from the Oval Office, live on TV, and sent a copy of the video to Congress. Or he can send a report in writing.

No standing ovations for Donnie, unless his minions are dopey enough to stand in front of the television while he recites his report from the Oval Office.
LOLI meant exactly what I said, not what you want to THINK I said. Are you stupid or something?LOLOLWell, seeing as how support for the wall has increased, I would say it's working out ok. Nancy knows it too.LOLOLFirst of all, it's not HER house, it belongs to the American people, and don't forget it. Second, the reason she doesn't want him to give it on prime time tv is because she's afraid of him making his case for a wall more effectively than she can make a case against it. She wants him to be heard by as few people as possible while the msm soak the airwaves with her and Chuck's propaganda. You know it and I know it, so don't give me that crap about unpaid labor. She doesn't give a shit about the people not getting paid. She could end this shutdown in 5 minutes if she wanted to.She's not silencing him. She suggested he revert to the original SOTU, format which is the President put the address in a letter to Congress and they can publish it and the American people can read it.
It takes a lot of security and government workers to set up and broadcast the SOTU, and Nancy refuses to use unpaid labour to give the President this wonderful forum. Her House, her invitation.
He already made his case on national TV.... how’d that work out for him?
And by growing support, you mean there’s still not a poll out there which shows a majority of people want the wall....
Immigration
...and re-elected him over and over. Four times to be exact.President Trump knows history, and this is his Read my Lips moment. HW Bush was tricked into raising taxes, the liberals promised him the world if Bush would just abandon his campaign promise not to punish the people with higher taxes.
HW believed him, and as soon as it was done, the libs used it effectively against him. In the 1992 elections, HW only received 37% of the vote, less than Herbert Freaking Hoover in 1932. America elected its most extremist president in history to that point.
It's not required by the Constitution every year, and Trump has nothing of merit to say.***Mods, please move this to the appropriate “catch all forum” if necessary. I don’t know if you guys are still doing that or not****

Are Secret Service required to take a bullet for Trump when they are not being paid?
”Hardly...”Hardly, what he wants to do was to allow people in to who had skills or talents that the US needed and keep people out who had nothing the American people needed and he wants to limit chain immigration to the immediate families of people who were admitted on their own merits rather than allow one green card holder to sponsor hundreds of people who would not otherwise qualify.Actually, what trump wanted to do was to gut legal immigration...From the first days of his administration, Trump stated that he wanted to find a fair resolution to the so called "Dreamers" and he offered to give them and many more illegals who are already here a path to citizenship in exchange for funding for the fence, but the Democrats insisted he also abandon his plans for immigration reform as a condition for the funding, and that he refused to do. The President laid out his proposal in a State of the Union address, so if all the Democrats wanted was a path to citizenship for the "dreamers" the deal would have been done over a year ago.Then why didn’t he want the $25 billion Democrats offered him a year ago?Again, that's simply not true. He has been pushing the smart fence since day one of his presidency, and he tried to reason with the Democrats to no avail, so we now have a shutdown that will last until support for the smart fence, which is steadily growing, forces the Democrats to seek a face saving way of backing down.The POTUS had two years of full control of Congress and did not push for the wall...he waited till the Dems held the House...why is that?
Trump’s swap: Citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers, legal immigration gutted
If you believe America is responsible for taking care of all the world's poor, then you support the Democrats' opposition to the President' immigration reforms, but if you believe the responsibility of the US government is to protect the interests of the American people, then you support the President's immigration reforms.
And until the Democrats finally begin to behave responsibly in the interests of the American people on border security, their spending bills will continue to fail.Under her leadership and guidance, the House of Representatives has passed eight (8) legislative bills to end the shutdown or portions of the shutdown and passed them on to the Senate for action. Sen. McConnell has refused to allow them to be voted on even though all accounts and reports indicate they would pass if voted on.No, Nancy Pelosi just confirmed the Democrats have nothing to offer the American people but lame political gestures.Nancy Pelosi is just bitch slapping Doofus Donald and giving the immature little-spoiled brat a lesson in American Constitutional government.
