House. He can tweet his SOTU. No one wants to listen to his lies anyway.

Pelosi controls the house.

There is no reason in the world for her to let the creature show up and contaminate it more than he already has.

Fuck him. He has his Oval Office. Let him read his speech from there.

Or maybe Fox "news" will offer him time to give his speech.

Or maybe his pal Vlad will let him give it from the Kremlin.

Wake the fuck up, people. The man is a criminal and a despicable human being who is infecting our White House.

There is no constitutional requirement for a big fat media event. It is about time our party starts hitting back.

But let’s leave the strategy to Speaker Pelosi. She knows what she’s doing.

So far, she’s really sticking it to Trump. Let’s trust her experienced judgment.

A reporter just asked Pelosi: What happens if Trump still shows up for SOTU on 1/29? Well, he'd have to speak outside. A reminder from @CSPAN: The House speaker "controls the video and audio from the House chamber. If the House is not in session, there's no video feed to show."
