Social Pelosi tells Trump to postpone SOTU

He could deliver the text to congress in writing and then give the televised speech from the Whitehouse.

hio woodyguyatl,

he could tweet it all, too. or he could just go on Hannity and say more or less whatever he wants.

when trying to blame the Democrats for a shutdown that Mr. Trump has explicitly taken credit for, its probably better to have the imprimatur of a SOTU address to give his presence a bit more heft.

its all about powerful visuals. that's what governance has come to, lol.

It's not about the security now, it's about people getting paid. Nancy's a fucking clown.

hi Glenwo2,

this is why you have to get away from FoxNews, which is utter fecal matter, and get yourself some boring 'ol NPR.

here's the answer to your question, and finding it wasn't some elusive treasure hunt. just get away from crappy sources of information.

Pelosi wrote, "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." She added, "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."

Pelosi continued, "Sadly, given the security concerns and unless 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 the Congress on January 29th."

btw, i don't think Democrats are actually scared when Mr. Trump decides to speak to America. they are, probably, kind of hopeful.

its during these moments of speaking to the masses, unfiltered and without constraints, that he sometimes makes helpful declarations like, "If we don't get what we want ... I will shut down the government. And I am proud to shut down the government for border security.... I will take the mantle."

in Aaron Sorkin's most leftwing delusional fantasies, he'd never imagine a line like that coming from Mr. Trump's lips.

Did NPR report this yet?


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing a mounting backlash from Republicans for urging President Trump to delay his State of the Union address until after the partial government shutdown ends.

Pelosi, D-Calif., in a letter earlier Wednesday, suggested Trump either push back the scheduled Jan. 29 address or submit the speech in writing, citing security concerns amid the lapse in government funding.


But security officials have pushed back on her claim, claiming the teams are prepared.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But one senior Homeland Security official told Fox News that they have been preparing for months for the State of the Union event.

“We are ready,” the official said. “Despite the fact members of the Secret Service are not being paid, the protective mission has not changed.”

The official added: “it is a ‘no fail’ mission.”

The official also noted that no one from Democratic congressional leadership reached out to the Secret Service to ask if the agency was able to secure the State of the Union address.

Another senior DHS official told Fox News that “there are no security concerns with the State of the Union.”


Later, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said that DHS and the Secret Service “are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union.”

“We thank the Service for their mission focus and dedication and for all they do each day to secure our homeland,” Nielsen tweeted.

The President can make a speech anytime and almost anywhere he wants to. It isn't wise to bring all of the Federal Government together in one place without the highest level of security. Trump's government shutdown has severely compromised security.


Apparently, you didn't read this yet :

Pelosi sent the letter to the White House on Wednesday, on what marked day 26 of the partial shutdown of the federal government, with no compromise in sight to resolve the standoff over funding for border security. The impact of the shutdown is further deepening for furloughed federal workers and those forced to work without pay.

“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.”

You're Welcome. <Jaime01>
 


President Donald Trump is postponing what he's calling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's "seven-day excursion" to Egypt, Afghanistan and Brussels in apparent payback for asking him to reschedule his State of the Union speech because of the partial government shutdown.

Trump wrote a letter to Pelosi on Thursday informing her that her trip had been postponed and would be rescheduled after the shutdown.

He called Pelosi's trip a "public relations event."

He says she should stay in Washington to negotiate ways to end the shutdown, which is at a stalemate over federal funding for his desired border wall. Trump says that if she wants to make her trip by flying commercial that would "certainly be your prerogative."

House speaker bashed by Republicans for her bid to delay Trump address

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing a mounting backlash from Republicans for urging President Trump to delay his State of the Union address until after the partial government shutdown ends.

Pelosi, D-Calif., in a letter earlier Wednesday, suggested Trump either push back the scheduled Jan. 29 address or submit the speech in writing, citing security concerns amid the lapse in government funding.

But security officials have pushed back on her claim, claiming the teams are prepared. And Republican officials scoffed at the idea -- though the decision ultimately rests with Pelosi.

“It is unbecoming of a speaker to do this,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Wednesday.

Later, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., urged the president to press forward with the speech.

“For Nancy Pelosi to withdraw the offer shows insecurity on their part and that they can’t defend their open borders policy,” Scalise told reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday. “The country deserves to hear from the president. … to think the speaker would lock the doors and prevent people from hearing from the president of the United States.”

Scalise was asked whether he thought Pelosi was simply trying to get into the president’s head in the midst of negotiations, to which he replied: “I think he’s already gotten into her head—that she’s on the wrong side of this issue.”


Pelosi sent the letter to the White House on Wednesday, on what marked day 26 of the partial shutdown of the federal government, with no compromise in sight to resolve the standoff over funding for border security. The impact of the shutdown is further deepening for furloughed federal workers and those forced to work without pay.
