The govt workers that aren't getting a paycheck due to the govt shutdown; are protesting the Republicans retreat. No mention of them protesting the Democrats retreat.

I hope to God that the ones protesting the R's all lose their jobs for good this Monday. They make six figures and probably post on DU all day. Frick them.

You have 0 basis for making this claim. The only difference will be that we wouldn’t get to see Pelosi and co’s faces as they get raked over the coals

Its really wouldn’t. That’s a campaign rally and would come across like just another Trump stump speech not the SOTU

He doesn’t. He does control the budget of the military though

The house has passed several bills to re-open the Govt.

Mcconnell won't let those bills onto the senate floor.

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.

Eh, he's forcing her hand. She wants to go on a worldwide excursion while bitching about how we need to end the shutdown. If it's the existential crisis she's making it out to be then perhaps she should stay here and iron things out

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

It's call civics 101, try it sometime.

Why waste the time?

The Dems passed those bills for optics and political talking points. The same way the GOP passed all those bills repealing Obamacare.

He’s placing faux emphasis on location because he thinks it’s a win if it doesn’t happen in the house.

This flight was on the Pentagon’s dime. He has every authority to control that.

Look it’s not going to make the difference in him getting re-elected it not, but to pretend it’s meaningless is disingenuous at best, willful ignorance at worst.

You're out of touch with reality. Are you having another stroke?

So it won’t actually be a State of The Union
Sure it will.

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.

As usual, you completely misread who the losers will be if the SOTU address is moved to the WH or the senate chambers.
