The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 144 - Politics and Economics

I once had a patient who returned from a trip to NC with a present for me-- a Bojangles biscuit, since she often said what she missed the most about home was Bojangles.

Unfortunately, biscuits don't travel well.

good on her for trying, but definitely poor judgment on that one

bless her heart

Think they'd prefer speaking so they can yell at him like the O era during it and crow to the base but they also like doing things then saying "DEMS STARTED IT" so I'm not really sure how this is gonna go.

Sure, and they can then answer to the press why they are canceling the SOTUA and democrats can campaign on it during the next election cycle.

The president isn't required to give the SOTU speech to the house of representatives, nor required to be officially invited by anyone to give it.

If it becomes a partisan thing, they will just start giving it in the oval office or in front of a friendly crowd.

AC on CNN replaying this clip when talking about Trump taking interpreter's notes, but if the interpreter was blindfolded, notes might not tell the whole story.

Aren’t they pretty partisan anyway? The members whose party holds the presidency give a standing ovation every few minutes and the opposition party just sits stoically the entire time

Would be great if every time trump lied a Dem stood up and said “that’s a lie” and walked out.

When Trump said "no collusion" 18,000 times, he didn't necessarily mean that he personally didin't collude. He was simply stating the obvious fact that there has clearly been no collusion, at times, between certain people, somewhere. Probably.

Where am I missing Pelosi barring Trump from giving the SOTU in the house? I didn't get that from her letter.

How long until Rudy jumps ship? He just moved the goal posts so that now there was collusion but Trump wasn't involved nor did he know about it. LOL what a clown.
