    You do realize that the right side will likely be just as bad as the left?

    Trump could say it's raining. The left bemoans the fact, saying we have had too much rain, the right says we need more, and the truth is we need it on the West Coast and not on the East Coast.
    Polar opposites all the way......

    When you challenge somebody to a fight and then back away without the other guy making any concessions what does that make you? Hell no I'm not watching Chuck and Nancy and the other Democrat slimeballs smirk and gloat while Trump tries to squirm his way through a speech about how great he is. I'd rather watch some other kind of porn video.

    President Trump should reject Pelosi's invitation and just tweet the State of the Union speech.

    The state of the Union is...obstructionism.

    Exactly... thats why I follow the President on Twitter and Facebook. Amazing how his words get twisted by the time CNN et al get through telling us what he meant.

    As repulsive to Americans as Trump is, I plan to watch his address. This is history unfolding. Every utterance evidence of corruption/ deceit. May as well savor every minute the traitor gets closer to prison.

    No, I gave up on watching the SOTU sometime during the Obama administration.

    That said, I don't think constitutionally she had the power to block the SOTU. The Constitution gives the President the power to summon the Congress to speak at it.

    US constitution (emphasis added):

    Article II
    Section 3.
    He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.

    Thanks for starting this thread. No I am not going to watch this loser get up there and claim any kind of victory about border security.

    The only things he has done that really impressed me was getting two decent people on the Supreme Court. That's it. He completely blew this big fight over border security and was made to look like a helpless child.

    Can you cite the sources to verify your claim? Not saying you are incorrect, just looking to better understand your claim.

    The necessary and proper clause of the constitution allows Congress to make all.laws necessary to carry out its constitutional duties. These laws include how Congress is run, who can speak how votes are conducted....etc. the president does not have the constitutional authority to tell Congress how it is run

    No, but I don't bother watching any of them. They are no different than the commercials you see on TV.

    i never watch speeches. i read the transcripts, i read the commentary and i try to avoid the more inflammatory reactions, both pro and con. all that allows me to ignore the emotional garbage that comes with voice inflection, physical cues and unnecessary verbosity. i want facts, not feel good political sound-bites or meandering partisan critiques. i want information, not drama.

    It is thought now that Trump may use the SOTU address to announce a declaration of National Emergency. It has already been announced that he's sending thousands more military personnel to our southern border, and, evidently there's one 'caravan' after another of varying numbers of thousands heading north up through Mexico. Does anyone think these 'migrants' are on their way to the North Pole....

    I also heard on radio this morning (by no means assumed to be completely accurate) that more than a MILLION refugees will be pouring out of Venezuela -- where ever they go, they'll create destabilization, probably resulting in even MORE 'caravans' headed north....

    Exactly. It's a separate, but equal, branch of the government.

    OK, it looks like the majority of us do not plan to watch the SOTU address tonight. Anybody else want to 'weigh-in'?

    Oh, the very latest 'buzz' making the rounds is that Trump will not (NOT) declare a National Emergency after all! That almost certainly also means that he will not seal the border shut, thus forcing the Mexicans to fix the problems on their side of the border (where it originates). If both of those things turn out to be true, he might as well 'hang it up' and just go away... he'll be finished. No matter what else he says, at the end of his speech he'll be wandering off-stage like 'Little Boy Lost', with Nancy Pelosi's dildo up his butt....
