BREAKING: State of Union
Earlier this year, Speaker Pelosi let the President know that it would be inappropriate for the House to extend an invitation to deliver the State of the Union during the course of a government shutdown, so she held back. The address, originally scheduled for Jan 29, was eventually pushed back to early February.
Trump lashed back the net day.
This time, instead, the Speaker has chosen to formally ask Trump to come by and explain himself on a date certain.

Michael Bush (January 24, 1948-December 15, 2019)
I'm pushing away against the thought of Michael dead. I'm watching Watchmen, I'm subsumed in the 49ers' lackluster loss, I'm walking the dog around, I'm vacuuming. Listening to Dylan tell his long crooked telling of Highlands
But he's dead, Michael, irrefutably done. Ah.

Rituals of Deflection
Professor Karlan made the comment that Trump could name his son "Barron," but he could not make him a baron, all this implicitly to underline her point that the powers of the presidency are limited, are not those of a king, who can in fact make a baron with a flick of the wrist.
Republicans responded to the professor's mot with a round of aghast virtue signalling, displaying their moral distaste for anyone who'd drag the name of the youngish child of the president into public discourse. The First Lady's office produced a communication of her own expressing dismay in finding her son so used.
The professor wisely apologized and slunk back to Stanford, deflecting months of potential bother.
As for the son, it is to be hoped that, given his age and sound condition, he is masturbating all over the White House residence and having a grand good time otherwise, as well.
