It's so embarrassing to watch. The goof says something and half the house stands while the other half sits there looking salty. Then he says something that everyone has to stand for. Sickening display all around...
Don’t forget the rebuttal from the opposing team
Was it last year's when the Dems did their rebuttal from some place that looked like KKK central with a former governor of Kentucky I believe? Dude said he was a Republican by mistake at the beginning of it, and I just shut the tv off lol
Trump is FULLY responsible for the shutdown.
Fixed for ya' friend!
>>> Why on earth would Pelosi want Trump NOT to give a SOTU on the 29th? Her reasoning above did not give a direct answer.
Oh wait. I think I know why : CNN, MSNBC and the other fake news media outlets will have to air it where everyone else will see it.
I guess as liberals, they don't want Trump to explain his position.
Hahahahaha
Pelosi tells Trump to postpone SOTU over partial shutdown
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the extraordinary step Wednesday of urging President Trump to delay his State of the Union address until the partial government shutdown ends, or submit the address in writing.
The president has been slated to deliver his televised annual address to a Joint Session of Congress on Jan. 29. But with no compromise in sight to resolve the standoff over government funding -- a stalemate that extended into its 26th day, with the impact deepening for furloughed federal workers and others -- Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested Trump put those plans on hold.
“On January 3rd, it was my privilege as Speaker to invite you to deliver the State of the Union address on January 29. The Constitution calls for the President ‘from time to time give the Congress Information of the State of the Union,” Pelosi wrote, but noted that “since the start of modern budgeting in Fiscal Year 1977, a State of the Union address has never been delivered during a government shutdown.”
She concluded: “Sadly, given the security concerns and unless the government re-opens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to Congress on January 29.”
Pelosi detailed the need for proper security at events such as the State of the Union, citing comments made by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen who recognized the “need for the full resources of the Federal Government to be brought to bear” to “ensure the security of these events.”
“The U.S. Secret Service was designated as the lead federal agency responsible for coordinating, planning, exercising, and implementing security for National Special Security Events…” Pelosi wrote. “However, both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now –with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs.”
Despite her suggestion to come to an agreement on a new date, Pelosi did not rescind the president’s invitation. That decision ultimately rests with her, as speaker of the House.
