Completely agree.

At no time did she rescind the invitation she made a couple of weeks ago.

If Trump wants to come in to a situation where he isn’t secure, she should let him.

I still want to know, if it’s true that Stephen Miller is writing an anti-Democratic party screed to be delivered, can the speech be stopped?

"…maybe he thinks it’s okay not to pay people who do work. I don’t and my caucus doesn’t either.”

Twisting the knife nicely.

“We haven’t heard — he’s very silent, more than 24 hours … We haven’t heard yet,” she said."

About her not getting a nickname, in Trump world, she doesn’t need one, if they still see her as a puppet master.

I predict the equivalent of 2 minutes hate against the Dems…

What will be the over under on the number of Dems shouting out “You lie”?

Yeah, it will be zero, but it should be around 180 or so…

Trump is afraid of Speaker Pelosi and he should be. She has his number. SHS will be sent out to slime the Speaker and accuse Dems of obstruction.

Prolly not.

It’ll just be posted on a website, as part of the record.

He really should give the SOTU at one if his rallies in front of his cheering throngs of dingbats.

Clarification:

If he goes off the deep end and begins a hitlerian style rant from the podium in the House, can it be stopped?

This is not a stunt. This is fighting for the American people.

The longer this goes on, it will become apparent that, to Drumpf, working people (as opposed to Trust Fund Babies) are about the same in his mind as livestock.

It is extremely difficult for most people who have not lived in such systems to understand the vast degree of social distance between despots and their subjects. When Drumpf got elected, I anticipated a full-blown dictatorship in a couple of years and the only reason it has not taken place is American resilience, remaining Constitutional and Law Enforcement and Drumpf’s abject stupidity, immaturity, mental illness and laziness.

Enter Nancy Pelosi. Her job is easier (if you call it that) BECAUSE of Drumpf’s faults.

But Drumpf’s CREW is still dangerous.

“No, Mr President, as far as the DOJ is aware, there are no security issues with Speaker Pelosi’s email.”

She said no SOTU if the government is shut down, she meant it. The House chamber is under her control, she can order it shuttered, and de powered. It is called Separation of Powers. Trump has no authority there. But really he needs to acknowledge her statement.

“We haven’t heard — he’s very silent, more than 24 hours … We haven’t heard yet,” she said.

I noticed that I hadn’t heard any tweets from him on the subject.

If 100% of what she is saying was based on logistics ALONE, she would be cited as derelict of her duty if she DIDN’T do what she is doing.

Denying Trump a platform? The most over-covered, media-greedy public figure ever? What a ridiculous question.

She’s good…so very very good. ‘No Donnie…I don’t think people who are not paid for their work should have to accomodate you to address the nation when the ‘State of the Nation’ is clearly not ‘good’.’
