Trump addressing Joint Session of Congress Tues 9 P.M. ET

Trump to address joint session of Congress Tuesday night at 9 P.M. ET to layout his legislative agenda and plans for the next year.

Look for it on all the usual streaming sites and TV news channels. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox, Cspan, Cspan2, CNN, MSNBC, etc. I always prefer watching on CSPAN because you don't get the usual talking heads making snarky comments.

How to watch: The address will be streamed live at http://www.whitehouse.gov


How to participate: Follow along live on Twitter @WhiteHouse and @POTUS for real-time information before, during and after the speech. The speech will also be live streamed at facebook.com/WhiteHouse.

 

I wonder how many Dems will refuse to show up and will skip the Trump address? It will make them look stupid, but that seems to be SOP lately.

 

The Dems are already setting up a protest during the speech:

"Democrats have made a point of inviting immigrants and foreigners to attend Trump’s speech as a choreographed counterpoint to his exclusionary immigration policies. Kall says heckling from Democrats or others in the chamber could be just the thing that energizes Trump and gives his speech extra zing."

It could get ugly fast.

 

Rep Maxine Waters, probably the worst congresscritter in the US has decided not to attend Trump's speech.

Just days after calling some members of President Donald Trump's inner circle "scumbags," Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) will reportedly not attend his speech to a joint session of Congress tonight.

Waters reportedly told House Democrats that she would not be able to control herself, so she's staying home.

"The president is not going to say what I want him to say," she said. "He's gonna take credit for everything."

 

Nancy Pelosi pre-butted Trumps speech. She didn't wait for the speech before attacking what MAY be in it: http://www.democraticleader.gov/newsroom/22717-2/

 

O.K., fellow PF.com members. Here are the RULES...

During yours and my Presidents speech tonight, you WILL...

1. Listen to the truth and reason that he has to say

...and...

2. SHUT THE (*)(*)(*)(*) UP while doing so!

Now, get with the program of "Making America Great Again" that YOUR President will be speaking about tonight and in the future.

 

Hopefully Trump won't continue his schtick of crapping on the dignity of the Office of POTUS.

Hopefully he has the maturity to refrain from attacks on the media.

Hopefully he has the maturity to refrain from bragging about his election victory.

If he doesn't show restraint (and instead, lets his rampant thin-skinned immaturity come through) his speech will be an epic fail.

 

Um, no. You ain't the boss of me. 😉

Truthfully, I can't catch it now, so I'll be DVRing it and watching it later. However, although I don't hate President Trump, I am not a fan either, so he gets no more special treatment then any other politician from me.

The really good news is that we won't have to look at the horrid faces of a scowling Maxine Waters and Ruth Bader Ginsburg falling asleep........❗️��

 

It's Trump....therefore the bar is set pretty low already. Supposedly Stephen Miller (aka Joseph Goebbels) wrote most of the speech, let's see if he can change his tone from his last two dystopian monstrosities. Uh oh, just now I see him in the "beast" - he is still practicing the address. This isn't good...... I will give Trump a pass on style points, he is simply no match for anyone who knows how to deliver a speech, particularly his predecessor - Obama.

We'll see how he does, it's important and I think it is finally sinking in, this isn't a rally or a campaign stop, this is the serious business of governing.

 

Totally expecting Trump to give a speech rife with Bannon/Miller bathos.

 

What a STUNNING First Lady!

 

WOW Ginsberg refused to go?? How disrespectful of the office.

 

It's amazing how good she looks...

'Refused to go' or simply too sick to attend...I have read a lot of speculation she will retire after the session in June.

One can already see the left pretending to be polite...

 

And Democrats not willing to applaud his introduction. More disrespect for the Office.

 

Children will always act like children.

 

True. See what hundreds of thousands of dollars worth on plastic surgery can do for someone. Priceless!!!

 

I really can't stand the sight of Paul Ryan

 

Not surprised. The insider word from Supreme Court watchers is that she will be dead from Cancer by mid-summer. She avoids being seen in public as much as possible.

 

GOD I hate the endless clapping. Its not real no matter what party is in power and all it does is slow down the speech.

 

Holy (*)(*)(*)(*), was that Nancy Pelosi or the Cryptkeeper?

 

I thought she was just collecting tolls under a small bridge somewhere.

 

Which one's didn't applaud? Maybe they had fries and dogs in their hands and couldn't. Just getting ready to watch the show. Like going to a movie. You know... like getting ready to watch an actor.

 

Miller wrote the speech? Great! I feel better already!

 

No. Just Kelleyanne.
