It's been done before.

He seethes with not-niceness!

SOTUs are for adults - and House Repugs have long since proven to be unbearable toddlers, ever since Gingrich.

If held at the Capitol building it has to be in the House chambers.

There is no room for Democrats and TV cameras.

There's these things called television and streaming media. I'm pretty sure that the Republicans have heard of them.

submit a written report detailing how the republican controlled House has fucked them the last 2 years, and just have those reports delivered to the Speakers office.
Fuck them, they can read.
And if they won't, the press sure as hell will.

And why couldn’t President Biden go over their heads to the networks and ask for broadcast time to deliver the State of the Union speech to the rest of us in this Union?

Perry's idea is onlt partly about putting pressure on Biden (they haven't noticed, it seems, how well he performs under pressure.) It is really about preventing the Amerincan people from learning just how great a state the nation is in fact in on account of the Biden administration.

slap a post it on a carrier pigeon's butt and it to the Capital.

These clowns should try reading the owner's manual. Could prevent them from putting both feet in the pie hole.

I don't see anything in the Constitution that says that the President can't give the State of the Union speech in the House. He doesn't have to be invited. I don't believe that the House can prevent him from giving the speech there. Perry is a stupid jackass.

And he doesn't have to put up with those skanky GOP hags who heckle him like they're still in junior high.

every President for the past century (since Woodrow Wilson) along with the first 2 Presidents, have given it "in person" in Congress.

Might as well get with the program and have all the critters govern from their home offices, where they are representing their constituents, or playing around with an extra-marital secretary/gigolo.

Congress Hall here in Philly offered an "intimate" venue to give that first (1796) and next couple "State of the Union" reports a "personal touch" -





They could grab an ale a few blocks away when it was done.

that there may have been other activities engaged in there?

These were mere mortals and we know how they may act. (Except for the holier than thou, etc.)

The President can snail mail the State of the Union to the House and Senate if he wants and deliver his address from Key West, someplace sunny and warm.

But they'll say and do anything even if they can't.

It could be delivered in the form of interpretive dance, for that matter!

It would suck if it were not held there as it has become a tradition that would be nice to continue as it is a national and global event. Unfortunately, the numbers have been trending down. In the 90's 60 plus million people watched Bill Clinton's SOTU the numbers have been trending down since. Maybe some of that is based on different platforms to watch, but some is just disinterest in politics in general.

Invite the House Democrats to sit in the galleries, and snail mail the House GOP transcripts of the speech - postage due!

And the House Democrats would not agree to the galleries.

Could simply be written and sent over.

The SOTU It is one of the last times a president gets free TV coverage before the election.

every network would cover it as an historic event and the audience would be larger than it would have been otherwise.

Imagine what the press would say if Biden skipped a long, live speech?

That has the plus that Margarine won't be able to bellow at him like a howler monkey while he talks.

phone inquiry going? like he should be going out of politics to prison,
another traitor tot~

And a professional wiseass (Al Franken would be perfect!) to do "color commentary" on SAP (alternate audio channel).

Could Kamala Harris, in her capacity as President of the Senate, ask the Sargent At Arms to remove a truly vexatious member? Solution of last resort, to be sure - but the SOU has had some last resort heckling (He LIES!!!)!

Perry KNOWS that Biden will take them to task over their complete fuckup and lack of any governance, and his speech will reflect facts and reality.

They can't abide that.

He should be hanging from a tall tree at Gitmo.

That means if they want to be assholes they can be however Biden can still hold a State of the Union speech at the Whitehouse with the press and it might even work for us better if they do that.
Why? Because Biden can use it by saying the Republicans are doing it because they are afraid of him and the rest of the Democrats running for office can use it against the Republicans by showing how cowardly the Republicans are.

It is part of the separation of duties.

I say th at Biden should give the speech from the Oval Office.

Pelosi "rescinded" the invitation during the government shutdown and made clear the President would be welcomed to deliver the state of the union in the Capitol once the government shutdown ended.

"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

So, if he wants to give his SOTU speech before the Senate only, he can even adjourn the House for two days, give the SOTU before the Senate, and the TV cameras won't be focusing on one single member of the House, since none will be present except those who are invited guests.

I wonder if Mikey Mouse is fully aware of the can of worms he is considering opening.

if there's a Gov Shutdown, the Politicians go home...or so they think. The President can call them back and even if they don't want to do any legislating, they must still be in Congress. No paid vacations, make them sit in Congress for 12 hours a day (since they get paid regardless according to the Constitution). How that grab you guys?

And how they can't get a goddamn thing done?

And maybe he can talk about Perry's connections to Putin while he's at it.

Recall Perry to active duty and have him face court martial for sedition. If he is found guilty, execute him on live TV. Enough of this horse 💩.

One of the insurrectionist that asked Don the Con for a pardon after J6! He should just zip it when talking about the State of the Union speech!

He should be in jail on sedition charges already - along with his fascist mentor - tsf. Sick what a scared AG can allow to happen by sticking his head in the sand and refusing to go after the traitorous congresscritters.

especially the ones looking at conspiracy charges after trying to railroad Biden's entire family into prison on the basis of hourse shit manufactured in Russia by Putin's goons.

The Senate, House Democrats, and the few remaining Republicans with any sense at all will attend.

Biden will not be too polite to identify the rest as what's wrong with this country, their antics destructive to this nation and others. Biden's Irish enough not to pull punches.

can just GFH. In every possible position.

What a bunch of stupid clowns.

No 1A for citizens, who after all, pay the taxes for the government and deserve to be informed about our government. No, no, none of that. Operate in silence to please Scott Perry!

Presidential Medal. One of the lowest points in SOTU history was Trumps bestowal on the bum, Rush.

Get ride of the disrupters.

on network TV....I expect we will see smoke rising from the Capitol.

The truth?

Hold a press conference every day to trash the Republicans

...and deliver the televised speech to the American public. Congress could be invited and if they fail to show up it's on them. He can detail what he's been doing and how he's being obstructed on every issue.

... with only Democrats present in the WH, so that there will be plenty of applause and audience approval and no images of the Republicans failing to applaud. That should make an effect on the viewing public.

cell phone..yup..Scotty, Jack would like to have a chat..more than 1600 communication on said cell..time and date incoming..once the SCOTUS lifts the stay on the DC case..

nothin' like bringing attention to yourselves...

Now I know what.

How disgusting. The treason continues.

And why shouldn't he? Biden can look right at them and say they don't want to close the border for political reasons.

This political theater is akin to pulling back the curtain and revealing Oz to be a fraud.

Who does he think he is?

Call him every expletive you can google; still not enough.

* BONUS: No hecklers!!

Could be over in half an hour that way.

The President will just go on network TV and speak to the people without the booing and disrespect from nasty Republicans. And the networks don't have to allow a response, although I'm sure they will.

Why bother with the constitution then.

Caters to Magats.
Biden will appear presidential when he gives the address which will counter the Magat bs that Biden is just the acting president.

Hold the event as it’s supposed to be held, c’mon people.

He'll look far more presidential - and the Repubs will look petty -- if he lets the rescind the invitation and then he send the speech to Congress by hand at the same time as he gives the speech to a nationwide television audience from the White House. The networks will all carry it given the historic circumstances and the audience probably will be larger than it would have been otherwise.

DOJ? DOJ?

Allow all House and Senate members AND the public to attend!

As you point out, the SOTU is constitutionally required.

pretending that the GOP didn't just scuttle the BI-PARTISAN border bill all in the service of their god-king. Biden's not the problem here...much as Perry'd like him to be.

....and rather than calling it the SOTU address, he could rename it to the STFU address

If the GOP continues these childish antics they will lose up and down the ballot in November.

If Perry doesn't want to attend, then stay home.
