Pelosi Suggests Delaying State of the Union

[shockedcanadian]

As I was pondering this letter, the thought crossed my mind that she doesn't want the POTUS to have the attention of the world as he focuses on the shutdown and the border. There will be constantly panning to her and the Dems reaction, and when he talks about a lack of border agents, the wall, technology, chain migration, the Lottery, etc, it will be a one sided attack.

Then there are the Angel Moms in the audience, maybe some border patrol members. Good people who've been getting the short end of the stick. Almost brings me to tears to think of how much they love their country while nobody listens to their challenges. Sad.

Sorry guys, walls work, We all love immigrants, many if not most of us had relatives from somewhere else, but they all came to our nations (well most of us I assume), legally. You have to control your sovereignty, it's a National Security risk

Oh, and I listened to most of the confirmation hearing yesterday with Barr, he gets it. He even weighed in on the subject of the border and National Security.

Are the Angel Moms from Sandy Hook going to be there. What about the Angel Moms from Parkland, The Pulse Nightclub, the Los Vegas Concert Shooting. Are all of the angel moms of the innocent and unarmed black children gunned down by the police, going to be there too?

How about the Angel Moms of all of the children who have died of opioid abuse after being prescribed prescription painkillers? Are those Angel Moms going to be in the audience too? What about the Gold Star parents of those killed in Afghanistan since Trump started focusing on the souther border?

There are real issues Trump is NOT addressing.

We should send some Angel Moms from Canada to represent those who have suffered under socialism.

House Speaker Pelosi is bitch slapping President Trump by trying to revoke his invitation to make his State of the Union Address in person and in front of Congress.

Camp lies, fabricates a thread. What happened to "the most transparent congress in history" Pelosi promised?

 

[Thinker101]

Agree. This is getting good. Too bad he doesn't take advice from Mitch & Lindsay, he'd stand a better shot at winning. Nancy and Chuck don't care what happens to the country as long as they think they are winning with their base.

Getting good???

Idiot, this shutdown is contracting our economy by 0.1% GDP evey week (administration's own estimate)

A lie...I posted the article yesterday and it’s illogical.

"illogical"? wtf do you think you know that people that do professional budgeting don't??

Dang, aren't you one of those fricken clowns that feel you can audit Trumps taxes better than the IRS?

Dang, aren't you one of those rightwing idiots that can't ever post non-bullshit?

Just trying to keep up with you idiots....it sure ain't easy.

Trump reply...."GFY".....

The Speaker invites the President to the House for the State of the Union address. The Speaker is NOT inviting the President to a public televised event. There is no way she's going to give the orange shitstain is going to walk into HER House, and have a platform to speak to the nation, and in a grand spectacle.

Trump loves spectacle. It plays to his vanity to be seen as "presidential". She's just pulled the football out from under him.

However, let's keep in mind....when trump is on teleprompter he is wooden....think of the speech he gave the other week where everyone thought he was going to declare an Emergency........a real snoozer because he was reading (barely) off teleprompter.

Pelosi cannot cancel the state of the union. She's afraid that Trump will use this national stage to dump all over Democrats.

Nancy. Do the right thing. Fund the wall. Open the government.

Pelosi and Schumer overplayed their hand.

Cool story dumbass, but Americans overwhelmingly blame Trump for the shutdown, just as he said they should.

It’s Week 4 Of The Shutdown. Americans Still Think Trump Is To Blame.

56 percent of voters held Trump and congressional Republicans responsible for the shutdown (the poll did not ask about the two separately). An additional 36 percent said they thought congressional Democrats were responsible.

It's going to get worse for Trump from here, because there are only so many ways to delay the shutdown pain.

You are fake news.

Well of course I am when you criteria for "fake news" is " facts I don't want to hear"

So long as a clear majority of Americans are blaming Trump and Republicans for the shutdown Pelosi and Schumer have zero political incentive to give ANYTHING to Trump.

Thats exactly why Trump opening up with "YES! BLAME ME FOR THE SHUTDOWN!" was such a fucking stupid play. High IQ he is not.

Nancy. Do the right thing. Fund the wall. Open the government.

She can stop him from giving it in the House. He can open the government back up any time he wants to.

No she can't. Democrats can open the government by funding the wall. If Democrats didn't love MS-13 so much it would have been done by now.

She already did.

/----/ I expect many of the democRATs to boycott the SOTU. This leaves him with a majority or Repubs to clap and cheer. Great TV.

 

[Thinker101]

Why should Trump cramp his pants over the SOTU address? He probably prefers a delay until the shutdown is resolved anyway.

I doubt he really cares about the speech, but he's not used to people telling him he can't do what he wants. This is her way of saying fuck you.

Cmon guys, actually canceling the State of the Union, telling someone, and requesting someone sure sounds completely different.

So it is worded diplomatically. It's a clear disinvite to Trump's speech.

I see...so you're a Nancy whisperer?

 

[bodecea]

I told you the Dem's would panic if Trump went on tv and told the American people Dem's have sided with illegals who kill Americans. Pelosi and Schumer are shitting themselves. They gambled Trump would fold, now they are in a world of shit.

What about those soldiers just killed in Syrian by the supposedly already destroyed ISIS?

You haven't thought this through, have you? If Nance blocks Trump from giving the SOTU it will show the American people she is attempting to silence the POTUS. Is she afraid they might like what he will say? Afraid she might end up looking petty and partisan at the expense of the people? I hope she tries it.

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.

Nancy Pelosi to Trump: Reschedule State of the Union or just submit it in writing

Looks like Nancy is playing hardball. I wonder how Trump will respond after he craps his pants and sends out a dozen tweets.

I'm all for doing away with the State of the Union.

It is nothing more than an opportunity for propagandizing and silly camera shots of feigned support or opposition.

The less we have to see and hear these people the better.

The constitution requires a report to congress from time to time. Nothing says it has to be a televised speech from the House. It was always in writing until Woodrow Wilson.

A lie...I posted the article yesterday and it’s illogical.

It is not illogical.

There are roughly 800,000 people not getting paid right now.

Assuming their average salary is 50 grand a year, that is $769,230,769 per week that is not being added to the economy.

 

[fncceo]

I'd buy a ticket to that show.

Them not getting paid is ony part of picture, because they are also not producing or producing less, which slows up all kinds of economic activity.

That will be added to the economy in a few weeks. The payments don't go away, they are deferred.

True that, but he loved the SOTU last year, the pomp, the circumstance, being on TV!!!

 

[deltex1]

Trump needs the SOTU to get his message out? No. A simple GFY says all Pelosi deserves to hear. She sucks....bigly.
