In a move that’s sure to infuriate President Trump and likely impede negotiations over the border security funding that Trump has demanded be part of any permanent plan to avert another shutdown, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is still planning to postpone the State of the Union by refusing to officially invite the president to give the annual speech on Tuesday.
Asked about the SOTU, Pelosi said after a deal to end the shutdown had been reached that she and the president would discuss holding the SOTU once the government had reopened, a cryptic response that many interpreted as meaning that the speech would be postponed, according to USA Today.
“What I said to the president is when the government is opened we will discuss a mutually agreeable date,” Pelosi said, adding “I’ll look forward to doing that” and welcoming Trump in the House chambers when that is done.
Drew Hammill, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, later affirmed that the speech wouldn’t be happening on 1/29. And on Sunday, CNN’s Jim Sciutto reported that an aide to Pelosi had anonymously confirmed that the House wouldn’t consider the concurrent resolution that must be passed to officially invite the president to House chambers, where the speech has traditionally been held.
New: Pelosi aide confirms SOTU will not take place this Tuesday. No information about when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might invite President Trump to deliver the address, CNN reporting.

For his part, Trump has said that he wouldn’t look for an alternative venue for the speech. On Jan. 23, he tweeted that no venue would match the “history, tradition and historic importance of the House Chamber”.
As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed. She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative - I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over. I am not looking for an….

….alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a “great” State of the Union Address in the near future!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2019
We imagine we’ll be hearing more from Trump on this very sensitive subject in the near future.

Polosi negotiates as if trained by Muslims.
Declare immediately National Emergency Crisis and prove this is no bluff.
If wall is funded, call of the emergency off and thank them profusely.
The State of The Union (SOTU) can be given from any location and use PowerPoint slides to prove the case (double-checking and fact-finding facts and sources to kill opposition researchers). These slides should (also scrutinized for documented facts that ensure nothing is inflated or borders near falsehood) also layout every accomplishment and promises kept in first 2 years. Remind everyone that we have 2 to 6 years to go to fulfill the balance of promises.
Democrats, like Muslims encourage lying to advance their agenda.
Did any one really think Pelosi would honor her agreement? She has not told tge truth in her brainless life. She Warren, Waters and Bernie should all be brought up on charges of treason for trying to over through the constitution, which might I add, they all took an oath to defend and uphold. Kinda shows how ” honest” they are,———NOT.
HOW TRUE. But in this case the dumorats want to destroy the United States and It legal citizens. But who are they going to go after if and when they destroy the country. Where is the money they steal going to come from? I would not blame any company for moving off shore if that were to happen.
Get ready for another onslaught of illegals, coming soon, to a border near you! America, already spends, over 338.3….{ BILLION $’S}…Annually to house, feed, medicate, & educate these illegal rejects from South America! Thank you American Tax Payers…..for bracing the Demoncrat voter rolls!
My question is this. How does she think she’s able to stop the president of the u tied states from coming to the House of Representatives to speak. Last I heard. Presidents override congresspersons
ROTTEN LIBERTURDS LIKE PELOOSER-I AND CRYING CHUCKIE SHOOMER, WILL SAY/DO ANYTHING IN AN ATTEMPT TO EMBARRASS “OUR PRESIDENT”!! SHE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A “CLOAN” OF “CROOKED HELLERY”! SHE IS A LIAR AND LEFTIST PIG OF THE FIRST WATER!! PRESIDENT TRUMP, GIVE THE SOTU ON TUESDAY, FROM WHERE EVER YOU SEE FIT!
“…the State of The Union (SOTU) can be given from any location …”
If President Trump were to make the SOTU address tomorrow as he has said earlier he would, that would certainly be in tune with his staunch individualism. Dallying in games with Pelosi is a fruitless enterprise, and I remain surprised he would consider caving. Mr. President, give that speech tomorrow from any venue of your choice because your addressing the nation is far more important than the place of delivery.
“Your comment is awaiting moderation”
Just what do you mean by “moderation”?
I agree 100%. President Trump should give the address on the date it was originally scheduled for. Waiting for Pelosi’s approval gives her more importance than she deserves. Trump is the President and it should be up to him as to when and where the speech takes place.
Right on Brother! Pelosi, is an embarrassment to this country! How can the Libtards of this Nation, even stand looking at her? Her face looks like the south end of a “MULE”! I bet her breath smells the same!
Surprise, surprise, surprise, a Democrat reneging on their word. I sample of future negotiations to come. They never fail to maintain their image, do they?
I hope the Lord deals with Pelosi and the rest of the elected officials that do not do the will of the voters that elected them - Nancy and the rest of you and you k ow who you are change your attitude and get to the purpose your in DC before you get judged and punished by the same Lord you claim to believe in - God is not mo med and you are feeding on thin ice
Has Ms. Piggy-losi ever claimed to believe in the Lord? If she has it’s just another one of her falsehoods. She needs to be taken from this earth.K87H
the only way to stop pelosi is to kill her & her party- abolish the democratic party & you will see peace.
Eunice M LaSpisea, I feel the problem isn’t with the Democrats because Pelosi and Shumeer along with a bunch of RINO traitors aren’t Democrats or Republicans. They’re Socialists. Communists would be a better word. All we have to do is listen to ‘Queen’ Nancy’s outrageous lies and insults to learn what kind of people - not just her - but the whole bunch who have one goal in life. To overthrow our government, take away any freedom we might have left, and turn this country into a Communist dictatorship. The real Democrat party and our two party government is a thing of the past, thanks to a bunch of idiots who don’t have enough sense to even come in out of the rain. As it is Pelosi acts as though she’s running the country now. A better way to put it would be to say she’s already dictating and seems to be calling the shots, and getting away with it.
OK Mr. President have it somewhere else and totally slam these s a hole progressives.
Is there a law that the Speaker has to invite the President? Does he have the right to override her failure and utilize this taxpayer owned facility?
No Wall Nancy aka Nancy No Fence is one big mistake made by the House.
Guess what nancy no fence, NO MORE CODELS FOR YOU.
Just arrest the skank! Charge her with obstruction … and knowingly vetting somebody for office that they fully knew was NOT Constitutionally eligible to hold office!!!
Who does this woman think she is? I know this is a slam to your HUGE EGO, you are not GOD. I think the last two years has been an eye-opening to the little demo’s, they now know what this party stands for. Hatred, contempt, resentment, it goes on and on. Now take the time to go back and see what the democrats have supported in the past, see what they have spent OUR money on. Go for it.
Nancy is nothing but a spiteful Bitch, and a deranged lunatic!
What pray tell is the matter with THAT woman?? Has “Speaker of The House title gone straight to
her head so that she can’t think, articulate, make sense or negotiate. Nancy is all about herself-Look America -see what I can do!!! Well, President Trump-you have done an amazing job despite the opposition of that despicable woman and her party-there has been very little Tradition really, in the last 2 years, so President Trump- Bring it on -SOTU address to the people of America, wherever you feel comfortable. God Bless our President- and Nancy you know where you and your cohorts are headed.
So much for good faith negotiating Nancy. Admittedly she is playing the only hand she has. Sadly the only success she has is proving to the American people her only interests are political, which do nothing to help the people she was tasked to serve. This like every other tactic she has tried will fail miserably, as president Trump continues sacrificing and serving for the American citizens best interest. KAG
Keep going Nancy…you are really helping to open the eyes of people to just how evil the democrats really are. You are showing the people how the democrats care more about a win and illegals then the people of this country. Nancy you should leave the USA, You should not get a pay check after all we the people have paid for your vacations, drinks (LOTS AND LOTS OF DRINKS) and you have stolen millions. Please tell the taxpayers how you get to be a millionaire when your salary is what $200,000 a year? Please try to explain that….and how Trump is the crook? At least he worked for his money! How about you show the taxpayers YOUR tax records and let us audit you!
Potential fix for the professional politician:
1- All political warchest cash has to go to help fund Social Security NO candidate gets to keep or assign so much as 1 Dollar.
2- Any and all laws the house or senate passes are not just for the American people that these politicians represent but they also apply to the elected officials. In other words no special treatment.
3- The Senate and congressional pension funds should be immediately deposited into the Social Security fund. The elected officials should only get what the rest of the people in the country get from Social Security for retirement. I bet they wouldn’t take any more money from SS fund.
4- They get the same healthcare that all Americans get. No special insurance or benefits just because you got a posh DC job that you only work in DC for less than 150 days a year.
5- If you aren’t able to accomplish the peoples work while you’re in Washington then you don’t get a paycheck. In other words obstructionist go home. Going to jail would be a good idea too.
MR. PRESIDENT, do NOT under any circumstances let this out-of-control B—H throw a wrench into the plans that you make for the SOTU address. It is YOUR NIGHT, she has NO say in the matter. Americans cannot wait to hear what you have to say. Pick you place and time — we WILL be there. Have the Secret Service put PEWLOSI & AOC in a soundproof room in parts unknown, and they can yell and scream at each other all they want — as THAT is their habit. And make sure that your speech is a LONG ONE. Keep doing a great job, and MAGA !
Pelosi is an ego maniac with visions of grandeur.
Pelosi is not going to let the President give a speech that she is afraid of. He should have the whole speech about her and Schumer and the obstruction and hate they both have for President Trump. I remember last year and the look on her and Stoney’s faces and her snacking her gum. She is disgusting and no low life like her should be in the chamber. But we have a person who raises money for herself to be the Dragon Queen and what she has left over she might decide who she will share with. She does not deserve to walk among Americans. She is the ultimate pond scum and she needs to be taken down daily to see how people really feel about her as a person. Remember she is the DEVIL and worships in the HOUSE of SATAN. Her days are numbered and she can go just anytime.
Hey, man nan you walk along happily with your grandchildren as you deny others their grandchildren by murder! You try to tell President Trump how things will be. You are a sick woman, or drunk when you speak and need to be reminded you did not win a presidential election but were elected by a smidgen of votes because people know you used your position to get rich and ripped off taxpayers for extensive travel for family & friends! Pay your own travel “to & from work”
The only time nancy p. lies is when she opens her mouth. Mitch needs to invite the President to address the SENATE. If e needs to have a concurrent OK from the house just violate the rules and they (the demo’s) can call him and the house undocumented Senators and keep on moving on like they expect the Americans to do with their illegal aliens.
President Trump knew that if he ended the shutdown first, Pelosi would still not vote for the wall. He started it back up to help the people who were not getting paid, something Pelosi would not have done.
When she was Speaker before, she said she thought she should have a private jet to take her to her home and back. Now the Air Force is hauling her wherever she goes and she is charging them hundreds of thousands of dollars for expenses, booze and food. How is she getting by with that?
The next shutdown should include the salary of Congress. After all it is their fault. Know how long the shutdown would last? About 15 minutes. Put the blame where it belongs.
The Democrats have become a worthless party. President Trump needs to just ignore them if he has someway to do what needs to be done without their help. They don’t care about the American people or this country, only the party. We don’t have a two party system anymore.
SAMSAYS: WHY? Because she didn’t get the free plane ride, courtesy USA Gov, to Europe? Does she epitomize the floating in the sky “monster mother,” from the Woody Allen movie? Who elected this arrogant, pompous , rich twit? I’m not a brain dead , confused Liberal. I sure as hell didn’t. I’d pay to be able to look in her back yard to see who are the other two witches standing around the caldron with her. Her SOTU reponse? “Double,Double, Toil and Trouble, Trump.” And America needs her WHY???
This woman?? Poleis needs some serious help. Maybe a straight jacket and couple of years in the funny farm would help. What a bitter vindictive sorry old woman she really is.
If true, the SOTU should proceed in a different venue like the Senate Chamber and Pelosi be banned from attending.
The president should have a made up charge (Steele Dossier type) on piglosi and have the same Gestapo who raided Roger Stones house come down on the bitch from Californicate’s house at about three in the morning. and if it gets leaked beforehand fire every person who knew about it.
SAMSAYS:
Dear PRES.
It’s a speech. Grab a damn mike. Buy airtime if needed. I dont know who pelousy thinks she speaks for but it sure as hell isn’t me.
I would like him do it on Tuesday MORNING 29 January. And then the DEPLORABLE DUMMY RAT DEMOCRATS do not have a chance to do anything about it and do in SENATE CHAMBERS alike ..
And maybe this would show them WORTHLESS DUMMY RATS that
PRESIDENT TRUMP had NO LESSON to learn..
Here’s another perfect example of “cry baby” politics. “No State of the Union speech for you!” The deal was when the shutdown was over, the SOTU would be held! “Renege Nancy” or “Malfeasance Nancy” or whatever else you want to called, She has no idea how to work with someone she “does not like”. To me that is a very sad kind of individual. I know that the Democrat elected officials will loose millions of kick-back/commission money from Obama Care but so be it! By kick-back money I mean the commission money that is given to Obama, reps that assisted and others get money for each recipient of Obama Care. Every elected official who has taken any of this money should be made to pay it back. loose their retirement and be sent to jail. Example : Johnny pays 1500.00 for himself and his family. A percentage of said money, the commission, is given to Obama, elected officials and aides. So, say the commission is 60.00, that is 60.00 that Johnny will have to pay throughout the year adding up to $720.00 annually. Do you think Johnny can find a better use for that $720.00 per year? Now, this commission, $60.00 multiplied by 2,000,000 = 120 million dollars! At the end of 2018, there was 8.8 million people on Obama Care. Now, multiply 8.8 million people on Obama Care times that $60.00 commission. That comes out to $52,800,000,000 that was stolen out of the pockets of American Obama Care recipients by our then elected officials. As the policies went on, the premiums went higher so I wonder if that commission went higher and who exactly drew the commission money for sure. $58,800,000,000 could be split up many, many times and each individual would still get a hefty cut of this money. What a racket this is! Research this information. This is how an “elected official” explained it to me over the phone. How can this be legal and talk about immoral practice! President Harry Truman made a comment about made the comment, “No man can get rich in politics unless he’s a crook!” Now, how many millionaires do we have that are elected officials? This does not count the money that was given for every single “refugee” introduced to the “Resettlement Program” by different agencies. Instead of this money going to the politicians, it should have gone to pay down the National Debt, if it had to be collected at all.
Potus says the History of it being there. The dems are trying to do away with our history and what we stand for as Americans. They want it to change to Amexicans. i would LOL but its true.
This move shows the extreme cowardice of Pelosi. She is so afraid that the SOTU will make the American people realize what a great job Trump is doing for this country, and what an impediment the democrats are to progress. The message will get out, despite this witches actions.
Nancy “Petty Loser” hatred , revenge, envy , all these only destroy the vessel in which they are contained ! Be very aware of your mental state because it seems that the above have already begun to take hold of your very being !No amount of Alcohol distilled in whatever form will solve your problems, you must look to your heart (if it still exists) for guidance in these trying times because you are costing our country much more than the President is asking for this “Wall” Many people are more than willing to wait for this wall to go up however ,the Drugs aren’t waiting ,nor are the Criminals , the Human Traffickers ,the Gangs, the Terrorists, and last ,your voters , the Illegals who are seeking “Free Stuff “
Polosi is an unreasonable idiot! Something is badly wrong with her mind!
Auntie Nan cannot deny the president access to the House Chamber if he chooses to go there and speak to the Congress and to the people of this country. This house belongs to the people and not to Nancy Pelosi. The only thing she is accomplishing with her antics is the reveal of what Democrats are all about. Hate and envy combined with asinine selfish virtue signaling combined with the lies, deception and voter fraud is all they have going for them. Time to call a halt to the idiocy. Go there and give the speech. When the Democrats don’t show up for the speech they will show their constituents just how they feel toward those “little people” whose only purpose is to get them reelected. Wake up, you who vote Democrat. These people do not respect you. They don’t care what you want or need. They only care about their power base and the wealth they can attain be being elected again and again. Think about it. What have the Democrats done FOR you lately and what have they don TO you?
Wake up those of you who voted Democrats!
You are so right Mary Ann Ludwig, but how do we educate these voters before this country goes down the tubes. Pretty soon we will all be wearing burkas to go to the grocery store and the Mosques. No more churches! no more tank tops, just a lot of anguish because people are not paying attention to who they are voting for. Trump may not be perfect but he is trying to keep this country from going down the tubes.
Democrats will make sure that we are all on the poverty line. That means no jobs, no freedom to worship where we want, and everything yu worked very hard to accomplish is going to be taken and given to the refugees and the illegals who are invading our country
Dear Presidential Trump. Break the tradition and do the SOTU elsewhere. The American people want to hear you and are ready to listen. Remember, Pelosi is missing screws in her brain, and she will go down in history for being the biggest fool ss Speaker of the House. EVER. She may even dtop bricks from between het legs…but so what and who cares…just as long as we dont use those same bricks to build the wall.
We now have a rogue govt. It does not work in the best interests of the people. They are ALL bought off globalists. The entire process needs citizens oversight with the Constitution as a guideline.
Pelosi… what an evil two-faced liar!!!
How about Donnie Deferments deliver his speech n a soul food restaurant in Anacostia
How about “theolddog” lay down and die? It is time old fella.
Give the address after locking out all the Democrats from entering hallowed halls that they disrespect.
Dear President,
I can’t be sure, with my years and slightly fading eyesight, but I think Pelosio and Pinnochio are twin brother and sister. It is true he had a bigger nose but it is also true she lies more.
Pisslucie has pulled the football away from charlietrump too many times ! she thinks she’e running the U.S.! it’s time to ignore this dimwitted bitch, and find a different venue for the SOTU. and build the DAMNED wall!!
PELOSEI NEVER FORGAVE TRUMP FOR KILLING HER TWO SONS. UDEI AND QUSEI PELOSEI.
TOP THREE LEVELS DOWN ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE COMMUNIST INFECTED. JUST ASK FRANCES FOX PIVEN.
IF THEY CAN KILL THEM ON THE LAST DAY THEY WILL SOON KILL THEM OUTSIDE THE WOMB. IF YOU LET THE CHILD LIVE 18 MONTHS, YOU WILL HEAR THEM SAY, I LOVE YOU MOMMY. YOU TUBE SAVE THE KIDS ABUTOM. BEWARE PLANNED SLAUGHTERHOOD AND BLOOD PROFITS.
THE COMMUNIST MEDIA HAS US WATCHING MAKE BELIEVE RUSSIAN COLLUSION WHILE THEY QUICKLY MOVE UP THE TIME TABLE FOR BABY KILLING.
BOENER WILL MAKE A FORTUNE ON THE OVERDOSE TRADE. MEXICO WILL RELOCATE TO THE USA FOR DRUG SALES.. A DOPED UP NATION CANNOT STOP AN INVASION.
UNTIL WE ADMIT WE ARE FIGHTING COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS AND RINO RATS WE WON’T WIN. CAN YOU SAY COMMUNIST? WHY NOT? There is nothing so full of Schiff as polls. Do not believe one. When you see Trump is down to 43% add 20 points for communist bull shet. The only poles to trust are Stashu and Wanda and they say Trump will get votes a plenty in 2020. No matter how much the communist media lies. TRUMP IS GOD’S INTERVENTION. SPIRIT OF AMERICA PARTY RADIO SHOW ON YOU TUBE ABUTOM.
Mr. President your doing a great job. Never mind giving the SOTU speech according to tradition. Tradition is nothing but crap. The people will listen to you regardless. Give the emergency call and bypass these anus democrats. You can give the speech from anywhere. At the same time when you give the speech inform the nation on how to get rid of Pelosi and Schumer along with their terrorist Islamic counter parts.
Pelosi does not negotiate. Negotiations require at least two parties. Pelosi tries to dictate term not negotiate.
Time to change the old way of having SOTU in the House Chanbers where recycled ideas and farts are exchanged and move it to a better venue where new ideas and visions are engendered and carried out o fruition! When weather permits, have SOTU on the front lawn of the White House or have multiple SOTUs in different parts of the country so that all of America can share the same message of economic prosperity and security!
Nancy will spend money on ANYTHING but a border wall to include helping illegals i the US. She believes she is more powerful that President Trump. She needs to read the Constitution and understand her role. Course that mean she has to learn to read and understand what she has read.
This is why you never trust a Dem…… This has happened time and time again. If we do something they want then they will talk.. etc. Never happens… Exactly what country are they controlled by. Maybe we can send the illegals to these peoples cities, schools, state… with all the diseases. How about a little flesh eating diseases. The Pelosis’ and their buddies are destroying this country.T
How far will she push the envelop before the whole USA comes down on her? She lost all her credibility with most people when she refused to work with others on the shutdown. In order to help the workers that she has refused to acknowledge, Trump gave in on the shutdown, BUT WITH FUTURE RESERVATIONS. Now she better start playing in good faith, this won’t go pretty for her if she starts trying to pull tricks at this point.
Talk talk talk it is final the democrats now is only a word on paper. The democratic party exist no more it is the socialist communists party of america maybe not even america there are anti Americans . can a fight be avoided? I have a feeling something. Bad gonna happening god bless us all
The Democrats who have become radical collectivists (self-described socialists) have declared an all out political war. Fine. When you are forced to engage with a savage, then you must out-savage the savage. Go for it!
if peee losi doesn’t watch herself she will find herself with a block around her and tossed into the ocean - she is a disgraced to this country as are the people who vote for her
Pelosi will NOT agree to the SOTU unless Trump backs off the wall altogether and that’s not going to happen. I hope he declares an emergency and if the new caravan comes up and tries to enter illegally, declare war on them. He can do that without congress’ permission.
Mr. President, you are our elected President and you decide when to present the “State of the Union”, and not some treasonable power-hungry woman who does not care about the American People but herself.
No, Nutty Nancy, you’re not calling the shots, the President is. His SOTU will be broadcast nationwide on a date and time of his choosing and it will give both you and your Dumbascrap Party cabal of misfits and corruptocrats the absolute worst case of bowel blockage that you’ve ever experienced. Wait for it, it’s coming…
Having the President deliver the SOTU Address from the House Chambers would be nice, but if SOTH wants to be a, rimes with witch, he can do it from the Senate Hall or the Oval office. He should not delay it because of her
I think Trump should make the SOTU address from the Oval office. Save the taxpayer money from all the festivities that is just wasteful anyway. Pelosi does not run this country she is just an alcoholic old woman who is a dictator. She needs to be replaced before she splits the democrats in congress and the DNC. Her hateful.behavior and Schumers juvenile speeches are hilarious. They just do not kow how utterly stupid they look.amd sound.
Let the Senate pass the resolution and invite President Trump to deliver the SOTU there, or the President can deliver the SOTU in the oval office ANYTIME HE CHOOSES TO DO SO. Tell the commie witch to go asphyxiate herself.
The President doesn’t need nutty nancy fancy pant’s permission - -he can give the SOTU anyplace he chooses; with any luck the lying commie twit will stay home.
