#1 Yeah... because of "Security Concerns". Listen you crusty old bitch. If you are so worried about security, you pay for it yourself with your ill gotten wealth or don't fucking show up.

More than likely she doesn't want him to have prime time to make a case for the wall and shutdown.

#3 Trump should reply,"Come up with $5 billion for the Wall, and you have a DEAL!"

#4 Well with the other story about Trump's Trap all her security folk might be RIF'ed by that time if the layoff is still in effect. Jan 16 + 5 days is Jan 21 so RIF's by the 22 and State of the Union by 29th.
Dem ex-gov-workers will be rioting in the street by the 29th.

#5 Well, the shutdown is kinda the current state of the union, is it not? We need a report from the president and we wanna watch Nancy's face while she and Pence sit right behind him as he delivers it to Congress and the American people.

#6 Pelosi's request should be turned into a source of innocent merriment. She can stay home, if Her Speakership so desireth.

#8 I'm pretty sure that its not an option whether or not to give the American people a State of the Union address.

#9 It is mandated by the constitution for the president to present the state of the union to congress. How this is done is left blank. It used to be just a letter to the congress until Wilson started to present it in person.

Trump could send it in a series of tweets if he wanted to.

#10 Having said that, Trump should still give the state of the union live on TV to give his pitch directly to the people. It needs that personal appeal which a letter or tweet lacks. If Nancy refuses to open up the house of representatives for it, then just go on prime time TV. Face time is needed and Nancy is trying to prevent that.

#11 Give the SOTU Live on TV and have a letter of the speech delivered, Sign on Delivery, to Congress. Site that this is a "Money Saving Action" and have done with the circus...

#12 Doesn't she want attention brought to the shutdown? For some reason most folks are worried about the military getting their checks but are happy to see the rest of of the bureaucracy on food stamps.

#15 State of the Union is OFF...according to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

#16 Isn't that the President's call? As posted, by TV or by written communication.

#17 Also Pelosi cites security concerns?

Dear Madame Speaker,

The security of all Americans (including members of Congress) I have sworn to protect.

Hence in light of your concerns, the SOTU will be televised to the American people accompanied by a draft delivered to Congress as per rule of law.

President of the United States
Donald J. Trump

Darth/Magpie - had the same idea. Would love this

#18 Give it as planned from the Senate Chamber, and if they have security concerns, augment the SS and USCP with Marines....
