Only invited members of Congress will be allowed to attend President Biden's address to a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday, and the event "will be invitation-only for a limited number of members of Congress," according to a memo from acting House Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett. Any members who have not received an invite from their congressional leadership "will not be permitted in the Capitol after 5 p.m.," according to the memo obtained by CBS News. The sergeant at arms noted the event is restricted due to COVID-19, although it's unclear exactly how many members, and which ones, will

No republicans. That’s one way to keep the booing and cat-calling off the networks. I can’t believe how quickly we have descended into a banana republic.

Any republican who shows up for this should lose any committee position they have and be primaried at their next election. Republicans have to stick together and quit trying to get along with marxists.

But the border is wide open.
The Startled Possum Of The United States tends to freeze in the glare of too many faces.
Speaking of open borders, when returning to the US, why do I have to stand in line to show a passport to get in?

Aren't they all vaccinated?
Seems very fishy as to why this would be invite only, which I presume NO Republican will be on such a list. If any are, they should decline. They want to either humiliate you, or make it seem they have bipartisan support.

So its like Brezhnev speaking to the Communist Politburo. Only those agreeing and applauding his every word allowed.
Dissidents will be disappeared. See those incarcerated for Jan 6 , pulled from their homes and waiting hearings.
The President i to give an accounting to Congress(State of the Union) to Congress ...all of Congress. He could send a letter (Jefferson) or speak as every other President has done. This chosen few stuff is cr@p.

So let me work on this. In the United States of America ELECTED members of Congress are not allowed to attend a Presidential address to a JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS unless the President likes them ?
What about Supreme Court Justices ? Are they in need of an invitation from King Joe ?
Does King Joe not understand the Constitution and separation of powers? Ooops, silly question I know.

That would be "invitation only". "Invite" is a verb, not a noun.
Nobody will pay any attention to this sad meat puppet, anyway. I will be certain to not watch.

Then it is not an address to congress but one to sycophant's and fellow travelers. I imagine they have already adjusted his sleep cycle so he can stay up late enough without nodding off or going to crazy land in his speech. Figure this will be half an hour speech at most. Doesn't matter since I will not watch.

Since Pelosi and Schumer will decide who gets in to watch Biden read his speech from a teleprompter, and since everything Pelosi and Schumer do is political, you would have to be pretty stupid to define that gathering as a joint session of Congress, especially as most members of Congress will not even be allowed to enter the Capitol building while Biden is hanging out there.

Tight closeups of Biden are prohibited. The public does not need to see drool.

We deserve no better. Our supposed protectors in the GOP sat by and let the Democrat Socialists rig the election against our rightful president, and here we are. The people have no say and criminals are driving the stolen car.

When Johnny Cochran defended Michael Jackson aka the Fentanyl kid, Cochran, in his opening statement, told the jury that 'you will hear Michael, in his own words, explain the situation.'
Everyone one, including the jury members, perked up, believing Michael Jackson would take the stand in his own defense.
Instead, Cochran played a tape of Michael's appearance on Oprah.
And Michael did not take the stand.
Nothing in this article says Dementia Jo will appear, in person, in the House chamber. A video will allow his handlers to edit the tape, as they try to make sense out of his gibberish. And Dementia Jo will not have to shuffle down the aisle. They can photoshop that.

Dem pols prefer to segregate & elevate themselves. They are the definitive elitists. ...Not a pretty picture in America the Beautiful.

The uninvited should really storm the Capitol, but don't tell me these segregationists are afraid nobody will attend with all those social distancing and mask wearing congress-critter fools representing we the people.

This is obviously NOT an address to Congress. This is a carefully-staged production to show that Joe Beijing has the marbles to stay on a bit longer.

I guess the fact that this is illegal means nothing now. Idi Amin has spoken.

A strategy to cover up the fact no one was going to attend.

Being invited is not an honor. Joe has already announced the damage he will do to our country. Anything else announced at the joint session is just icing on the cake. Joe, Pelosi, and Schumer are just a joke.
