The Speaker well knows that security and support staff will work without pay, if so ordered. She simply would rather they have the evening off. Invitation withdrawn.

7. If he does give his

speech, the democratic politicians should ALL refuse to attend. He is an illegitimate president. Putin's puppet. We already know he will be putting the blame for everything that is wrong on the democratic politicians, plus President Obama. He can invite all his Russian friends.

13. If Madam Speaker needs someone to stack stuff in the hallways...

...I’m there. Wouldn’t you love to see Donnie clambering over a bunch of shipping pallets?

[RockRaven]

14. Maybe in the Senate Chamber, the hallway, or on the front steps but you ain't doing it in

the House Chamber, you disgusting sack of digested filet-o-fish!

If Speaker Pelosi has any difficulty holding the Democratic caucus together to deny Dump a SOTU House Chamber photo op whilst the shutdown persists, I'll want nothing to do with the Democratic party forevermore.

[NurseJackie]

16. The words "at the Capitol" could mean "on the steps of the Capitol"...

... that could be fun if it's cold, or windy, or raining. Or even if it rained three hours earlier and there were clear skies... like in France.
