Jammersix Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The State of the Union address is at the invitation of congress, which must pass a resolution to extend such an invitation. Might not happen this month. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pelosi-asks-trump-to-postpone-state-of-the-union-address-because-of-government-shutdown--or-deliver-it-in-writing/2019/01/16/f1c3026c-199b-11e9-8813-cb9dec761e73_story.html?utm_term=.2ddde89cec44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammersix Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Works for me. As Speaker Pelosi pointed out, he can also send it from the Oval Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie-pete Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 That's what I like about a split House, Senate and Executive. Nothing get's done; good or BAD. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yup. The system was deliberately designed so that it's hard to make new law when everyone is sort of on the same side. It's like trying to drag a large boat up current at night during a rainstorm when they're not. This "president" isn't strong enough to get anything done with two Republican houses. If you can't pass new law, we'll just leave things the way they are, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'd livestream it tomorrow from the oval office and state that our union is reverting to the standards set by the last administration to use the power of the FBI, DOJ, and IRS to target and destroy all non hackers.

Jammersix Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 It's an invitation. It's a tradition. Sending from his office would make him look weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 When it's done to me it's personal. When I do it to someone else it's political. That way, it's always someone else's fault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) The Speaker spanked the "president", and he went to his corner for a time out to think about it until he agrees to end the shutdown. "In a tweet late Wednesday night, Trump signaled a retreat, saying it was Pelosi’s “prerogative” to suggest a later date due to the shutdown." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-says-hell-deliver-state-of-the-union-at-the-capitol-despite-pelosis-request-to-postpone/2019/01/23/d171dfae-1f33-11e9-8e21-59a09ff1e2a1_story.html?utm_term=.be2e566ceab1 Edited January 24, 2019 by Jammersix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 That’s not a cave...just looks like one. maybe just a hole in the ground, but surely not a cave. pothole, due to the shutdown perhaps. must be part of the 3D chess strategy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think though, when he gives it, it should be anywhere else but there. It seemed reasonable to delay it for political reasons. The democrat response would have been epic. but Trump made a big deal about it and his plan to bypass Pelosi. So now he looks weak saying that she was very reasonable and he would delay it. the left thinks that Trump is cracking up. Giving alternatives, promising spending, green cards for DACA, 800 mil for this, 805 mil for that, down payment on the wall. Please please come talk to me. and they are loving it .

Bish1309 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I see him as doing everything PC to appease her. He's leaving nothing to chance to give it to her in the end. (Not literally, no one would do that) but he's very cunning and none of us ever really see his next move until he makes it. I've stopped judging what I might perceive as a Trump failure as he seems to always make it out the other side and we all sit here nodding in agreement. Patience, and we will be rewarded.

All 3D chess, man Trump is just playing them, he has a master stroke waiting for the right time... they think they are playing him, but little do they know about the ace up his sleeve......just wait. #dreaming .
