You can throw a thesaurus of words in your statement, no one gives a shite about the optics or tradition of a state of the union address.

And the most pissed people in the country if his SOTU address is not in the House chambers will be those freshmen Dem congressmen who have been looking forward to attending their first SOTU address since the night they were elected.

And they will be embarrassed for having invited their family and friends to attend, along with their biggest campaign donors, only to have the Wicked Witch of the West pull her political stunt.

CNN now saying Trump should not be using Air Force One etc in shutdown seen he pulled her ticket.
He is the President
yes, the head of ONE of the three coequal branches of government.

He can expend his ( executive) budget however he sees fit during the shutdown, just as she can expand the LEGISLATIVE budget as she sees fit.

If either of them engages in unnecessary travel, the other side, the media, and the public should pillory either of them.

It’s pretty basic politics actually. Perception is important and the visual imagery of the SOTU is significant. It’s not just another speech and thus carries more weight, people pay more attention to it.



It basically is just another speech. Dems will call it terrible and unpresidential, his supporters won’t care where it takes place


And I guarantee Trump doesn’t care where it takes place, although he would prefer to talk shite directly to them

I wonder what authority Trump thinks he has to control the budget of the legislative branch. I suspect that he has zero such authority, and that his advisers have told him as much. As such, the letter is pure trolling and childish (despite being entertaining).


lol.

my god youre a fricking idiot.

He did not tell her she couldn’t go


He said she couldn’t use military planes


You seem to not understand the difference

Because you moron, they know Trump will only veto them and he doesn't have the votes to over-ride a veto


So you know that there aren't votes to override his veto, how?

You realized they passed this measure via VOICE VOTE before?

I was on a flight with Sen Kennedy to NOLA and he said it was done. By the time we landed he was booking a return flight back to DC.

Yes and there are persuadable people not in either of those groups, to whom perception does matter unconsciously. Politics is like pro wrestling in that regard. Sure you can hold Wrestlemania at the River Center, but does it still really FEEL like Wrestlemania? No, it doesn’t.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders reiterated that Pelosi could fly commercial: "The Department of Defense has to approve military air travel. As he made clear in the letter she can still go she just has to travel commercial."
OK, this makes sense. Trump can pull the plane, but cannot unilaterally cancel the trip.

You just exposed your ignorance of how important to congressmen it is to be able to dole out scarce tickets to their supporters to attend the SOTU.

Ignorance is not bliss in your case.

I know this is like talking to a wall but do you really think not having a speech is going to stop someone from voting for trump? Oh shite he didn't get to do what I'm used to seeing ill vote for Bernie.



Idiot.

Au contraire. It's wimpy.

A president with balls would have said, "your trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been CANCELED".

Now remind me once more, which political party gained 41 seats in the midterm elections (7 alone in California!)

This is peak petty, I give the guy that much.
telling her to save money by traveling commercial is fiscally sound during the shutdown. Good Trump

Waiting until five minutes before takeoff was exactly the sort of petty bullshite one has come to expect. Bad Trump

If that’s what you think I’m saying then your reading comprehension is shite.
