Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed Friday afternoon that she is sticking to her previous statements on when President Donald Trump can deliver the State of the Union address.

The Speaker had said the President could not deliver the SOTU in the House of Representatives until the government is reopened and there is a “mutually-agreed upon date.”

“The State of the Union is not planned now,” the Speaker told reporters. “What I said to the president is when government is opened, we will discuss a mutually agreeable date. And I’ll look forward to doing that.”

sound of his voice and disgusting demeanor. She worked a puzzle on her iPad while humming quietly the whole time.

Trump represents chaos. He and his administration are wreckers, burners, liars, desecrating the social, moral and economic fabric of this nation. It seems to me, based on what they have done these first horrible two years, that they must not feel any part of this republic is worth saving, and instead want to pull the entire thing down around our knees.

The problem is, if you're going to tear it all down, what will you replace it with? I expect Trump, stupid as he is, is little more than the puppet of Alexander Dugin, Putin and Steve Bannon, all of whom want to destroy this nation and replace it with a caste based fascist oligarchy.

I'm not a big fan of that. I'd rather save the republic and fix what is wrong with it.

millions of others don't get reimbursed.
Those contractors who provide services for government agencies - no money.
Those restaurants and stores who get business from the furloughed employees - no money.
Those gas stations that are used to provide fuel for the workers' cars - no money.

No, the 800,000 number did not begin to tell the tale.

So, to IQ45 and Secretary Ross, F-U!!!!!!!

some back pay. The contracts have already been negotiated, signed and fully funded. There really is no reason for these contractor personnel not to be repaid unless the contractor wants to refund money to the gov't, which I highly doubt they'll want to do.

This fuckstick should NEVER give a SOTU again.

I'm pretty sure that no future Dem President would complain if we just got back to how it was done 100 years ago.

It's nothing but bread and circuses as it is.

What, is Speaker Pelosi supposed to stand up and say; "It gives me great pleasure to present the President of the United States", like this asspickle is normal?

Fuck him and his toothless supporters from Dumbfuckistan 'Murika if they get their panties twisted.

We should do nothing to lend even a fucking hint of legitimacy to this hateful, racist POS.

I'll tell you what. He can have his SOTU after he's sat for an interview with the Special Council and has publicly directed all of his associates, cabinet members and children to fully cooperate with congressional and Special Council investigation.

Oh, and waive any future power to pardon those indicted in his criminal enterprise.

Then maybe he can give his fucked up SOTU

Do you think IQ45 wasn't - shutting down so much of the country - causing delays at airports with the fear of danger regarding all flights, sending 800,000 people home and leaving millions without an income - JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS A MONUMENT TO IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR ONE?

Seriously.

Read that first paragraph again and tell me who's being "petty?"

I concur that Nancy did the right thing, and I would probably do the same thing. Just saying that the move comes across as petty, but I followed that up with "I freaking love it!!". Pelosi is an amazing woman and I love to see her put Trump in her place, but at some point we do also have to appeal to the large majority of this country to get everyone back on the right track. The rampant anger, hatred, racism, etc has got to stop and we have to appeal to everyone to sweep it all back into the closet for good. The fact that all this crap is going on right now within our political system is a complete joke and we're the laughing stock of the world, as mostly noticed when traveling abroad.

MyOwnPeace - I didn't take your comments or any of the others that commented on my post as a slam. I know we're all here with the same goals.

Have a great weekend everyone!

guarantee Trump would try to use the SOTU to both blame the Democrats for the Repugnant parties shutdown and then he would also try to use it to build support for absurd wall idea and then he and the Repugnants would shut it down again and hold the workers hostage.

Some time next week Nancy will smile while making some benign sounding statement while carrying his tiny desiccated balls.

is the only defense against Trump.

But why is the State of the Union Address important to anyone?

It won't be an accurate summation of what has gone before, any promises made will be irrelevant, and any thoughts for the future just fairy dust stuff that only a very small part of the world will believe.

Perhaps, when it happens, the media broadcasting it should do some real time fact checking, and at the first lie, just switch the cameras off and put up a static picture of 'so sorry, having technical difficulties'?

Just cancel the whole thing, already. It will have zero value or relevance.
