cbfalcon 824 Posted January 16, 2019 She can't shut it down - all she can do is suggest an alternative. If Trump wants it, he's going to get it. From what I read.....The House and Senate each have to put forth the invite for him to speak in front of congress. He can give a speech from the oval office if he wants, but not in front of Congress without her say so. Funny move, as I am sure his ego isn't dealing well with a female having any sort of authority where he is concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean the guy who's employed more women in his administration than either Clinton or Obama AND in all of his businesses? THAT guy? He's the one afraid of women?

tanatastic 2,061 Posted January 16, 2019 State of the union is there is no union, it’s been shut down. Country held hostage for ransom to build a wall that will just need 5x the money he’s asking for anyway. Then when he doesn’t get that, another shutdown. State of emergency needs to be declared.

You act like this is the first time theres ever been a govt shutdown. This happened in Obamas term too. Difference is the Republicans eventually actually negotiated with the President and it ended.

Funny move, as I am sure his ego isn't dealing well with a female having any sort of authority where he is concerned. It's an interesting decision. He loses Republican applause for his ideas if he holds it somewhere else. But he could pack a room with Republican legislators and hold it anyway Does anyone know if it's ever been held outside of the capitol building??

wiffleball 4,645 Posted January 17, 2019 She can't shut it down - all she can do is suggest an alternative. If Trump wants it, he's going to get it. My understanding is he can do it from the white house right now if he gets networks to play along. But as far as the pomp and circumstance and both chambers of the house and an audience which Trump adores, she owns that. I could be wrong though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,645 Posted January 17, 2019 Whether Trump gets the state of the union or not, could somebody get him some reading lessons? Good God, that last one was painful. He read slower than a spaniel trying to learn the rules of mahjong. I think he was literally trying to sound the words out phonetically. I'd rather have Steve Gleason deliver the State of the Union.

wiffleball 4,645 Posted January 17, 2019 We have 24/7 SOTU Twitter......no need for a SOTU Address. This. The whole tradition was created long before there was even a White House Press corps for chrissake. But strongly disagree with the morons who say that the shutdown isn't having a real impact on real people with real effect. First law that needs to be passed after the shutdown is nobody in Congress or the White House gets paid during a shutdown. And, unlike other employees, they don't get reimbursed after the fact either. Thatll light a fire under their ass. Some of them anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
