Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a letter Monday said President Trump could give his annual State of the Union address in the House chamber on Feb. 5, shortly after lawmakers and the White House reached an agreement to end the partial government shutdown.

"When I wrote to you on January 23rd, I stated that we should work together to find a mutually agreeable date when government has reopened to schedule this year's State of the Union address," Pelosi wrote in the letter.

She then extended an invitation to the president to give his speech on Feb. 5, a date she said the two had agreed upon.

The California Democrat previously retracted Trump's invitation to come to the Capitol Tuesday, arguing the speech should not have been held until after the end of the partial government shutdown.

1. What an embarrassing joke fest. Scolded dog howling from the dog house. Live.

Pelosi's dog house. She really knows how to hurt a guy.

[mainstreetonce]

2. I think she should have waited

Till the three weeks are up.

[rurallib]

4. Totally agree - get past that next deadline

although Pelosi has so far hit all the right notes

[Nevermypresident]

15. Agree

[Power 2 the People]

16. +1

Definitely

[Apollyonus]

24. I completely agree n/t

[docgee]

35. She is training him.

She's the boss. She let him have his SOTU after he finally opened the government. Good boy. Next time he will listen better.

[SergeStorms]

3. I'm busy that day.

I guess I'll have to miss it. Shucks.

[cstanleytech]

5. Mistake. He is going to use this to try to blame the Democrats for his and the Repugnants shutdown

and then he will tell the american people that he intends to take the federal workers hostage again and do it again unless he gets his ransom money.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I agree.

[iluvtennis]

33. He's going to do that regardless of when the SOTU occurs.

[olddad56]

37. at this point, he has no crediblity beyond his base, so why not let him come and tell his lies.

Nancy is taking the high road. That road that he has never set foot on.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

6. I'd guess no Democrat will yell "You Lie!"

But I wonder how long the talk will go on before Kavanaugh jumps up and yells "Yee-Haw!".

[left-of-center2012]

25. "Yee-Haw!"

"I like beer !"

[at140]

34. LMAO...funniest post of the month! nt

[Wounded Bear]

8. I hope they have a laugh track...

[politicaljunkie41910]

10. Damn!! Pelosi's a better woman than I would have been.

Just last week, he was still trying to run rough shod over her insisting he was going to go to the Capital and inspect it. I was thinking this fool might just show up on the 29th. I hope it has the lowest attendance as well as lowest viewing audience EVER. You couldn't pay me to watch it.

[canetoad]

12. That's what sets her apart from Dotard

Professional, succinct, honest, gracious.

[riversedge]

21. #BoycottSOTU is a hashtag. Help get it trending if you want........

He’s at #PresidentPelosi’s mercy. That being said, who needs to watch when we see our country on life support under his criminally incompetent administration? #BoycottSOTU

After what @realDonaldTrump put the Country through these past 35 days, is anyone going to watch his State of the Union, especially if today’s speech was any indication of what he’ll say? #BoycottSOTU

But that also means we can get #BoycottSOTU trending, insuring the lowest ratings for the SOTU EVER

11. But he has to wear a tutu and eat pickles

Fucker.

[NotHardly]

13. I need a longer break from him than that... could we push it out until after the US is funded again

how about Feb 16,2019?

[George II]

14. He has accepted:

[PSPS]

17. "We?"

"We have a great story to tell and yet, (sic) great goals to achieve!"
This tells me it will be another bund rally speech.
And it's signed, as usual, with his crayon.

[Rollo]

36. What a repulsive signature. Has a handwriting expert analyzed it yet?

[Chemisse]

18. She's keeping her word.

Much as I would love to see the sotu postponed further, Pelosi is doing what she said she would and that is important.

[2naSalit]

19. Something's up.

I wonder if he can be taken into custody from the House Floor?

[diane in sf]

30. Lol, that would be nice!

[2naSalit]

31. Bet the Sargeant at Arms would love to march him out or

actually lead the entourage of FBI agents taking him into custody. I know it's only a dream nut it's a good one.

[JDC]

20. I like her more because of this. If that is possible.

She said she would and she did. Waiting until after the 15th would come across as petty IMO.

She has a plan and I have faith in her to execute it.

[Maxheader]

22. And if your a bad boy,,

You'll be asked to pick up your marbles and go home...

[JI7]

23. I will not watch

[C_U_L8R]

26. Trump doesn't have a deal yet

So if he comes out and throws a tantrum... he can just toss all hope away.
Maybe some of his deadender supporters will even see the mess that's right in front of them.
I think this is well played by Speaker Pelosi.

[empedocles]

27. I was hoping for some speculation on what the Speaker is up to.

[I don't think it was a casual decision, not thoroughly thought out].

By Felicia Sonmez January 28 at 7:03 PM

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday invited President Trump to give his State of the Union address on Feb. 5, putting the president on track to deliver his prime-time speech to a nation still reeling from the longest federal shutdown in history and facing the prospect of a second one next month.

Trump sent a letter to Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday evening saying it was his “great honor” to accept her invitation to deliver the address on Feb. 5.

Pelosi is a shark.

32. I think that Donald likes being dominated by a powerful woman.

Seriously. I've seen his type before.
