Um. This isn’t a SOTU address, so no. That’s not how this works. Call up Colbert or Fallon. They’ll hook you up.

Well, this just in. They got their way. They’re going to give a joint rebuttal in the House Speaker’s Balcony Hallway right after Trump’s address.

Via CNN:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will give the Democrats’ response Tuesday night following President Donald Trump’s speech making the case for money for a border wall to be included in any plan to reopen the government.

Pelosi’s office announced Tuesday morning that she and Schumer would give the response from the House Speaker’s Balcony Hallway.

Ugh. This is going to majorly cut into my Bruins game.
