rooster59 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Trump to deliver State of the Union address on Feb. 4 FILE PHOTO: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, joined by fellow Democrats, speaks during a news conference about legislation the House has passed at the Capitol in Washington, U.S., December 19, 2019. REUTERS/Erin Scott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will deliver his annual State of the Union speech on Feb. 4 after accepting an invitation from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday. Pelosi extended the invitation for Trump to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress in a letter that was posted to Twitter by her spokesman, Drew Hammill. Trump's address could be a feisty one. The invitation comes two days after the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives voted to approve two articles of impeachment against Trump. The Republican-controlled Senate is expect to hold an impeachment trial beginning in early January. Trump's ouster through the impeachment process appeared unlikely. White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said Trump had accepted the speaker’s invitation to speak.

Yes of course he won't be removed (2/3 needed) but even getting a simple majority to convict in the senate would be seen as a MORAL victory, but of course isn't likely to happen either.

Popular Post trainman34014 Posted December 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2019 Whatever the outcome of Impeachment it seems to me the Dem's are screwing themselves in time for next years Election. All they've done in the last three years is spend all their time trying to remove Trump instead of playing their part in running the country and helping its people. Besides that they don't seem to have a really credible Candidate but what would i know, I'm a Brit'...Lol. 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The house democrats have passed HUNDREDS of bills, often bipartisan, only to have almost all of them BURIED in the senate by the self described GRIM REAPER senate leader, not even allowing them to be debated. Did you know that? Sounds like not. As far as not having a credible candidate that may be a matter of opinion but I think all the candidates on the debate last night are very credible and we also have others not even on that stage -- Bloomberg and Booker. If you mean not as infamous as 45, well that is true. 4 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be she is falling into line after the "impeachment" debacle? Only time will tell. Being contrite and inviting President and Commander-in-chief Donald J.

Right. They have even been able to elect a dead pimp, so concerns about morality are not likely to prevent them from voting for Trump. By the way, I checked how many commandments Trump has openly violated. I count 6 out of 10. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
