Thread: Trump Cancels Pelosi's Brussels Junket

    Trump Cancels Pelosi's Brussels Junket

    Too funny. She and her Congressional delegation were set to fly to Brussels, Afghanistan, etc, today at 3 PM. Trump pretty much told her she can't use the government plane, and that she belongs in the US, negotiating.

    Does this mean they are fleeing back to Puerto Rico for more partying?

    They clearly are not interested in negotiating anything due to the illusion (delusion?) the shutdown is benefiting the Dems side. Time will tell, but what we don't have to wait around to determine is the spite and lack of any actual urgency by the house leadership to resolve the issue.

    Fine with me.

    Evidently, the speaker is the one who invites the president to deliver the speech in person. Her letter is an excellent troll, which is why the white house has told other people (DHS, etc.) to respond rather than respond themselves. Whichever D staffer has been tasked with coming up with ways to annoy Trump, they are doing an outstanding job.

    On Thursday afternoon, President Trump informed Speaker Pelosi her “public relations” trip to Afghanistan, Egypt, and Brussels has been postponed so that she can stay in DC and negotiate with him.

    The President canceled Pelosi’s flight just one hour before she was scheduled to depart — Pelosi and other lawmakers were on the bus en route to the airport.

    Trump told her to fly commercial on her own dime.

    According to Fox News reporter, Chad Pergram, furious phone calls are flying back and forth from The Hill to the State to the Pentagon and White House.

    Now, this brings up the intriguing possibility of why not cancel all of their junkets, not just during the shutdown, but every other time too.

    Should be under consideration certainly . What is Pelosi planning on doing in Brussels and Egypt that could possibly bring a return to the taxpayers money she is spending ? My guess is nothing .

    Democrats will complain he should have cancelled earlier. Trump could say better cancel when boarding the bus rather than while in air.

    So not only is Trump the greatest troll in history he's also apparently the greatest in terms of savagery.

    Pelosi wanted to play hardball. Was this cancellation Constitutional? (Not that Trump or Pelosi care).

    And with all of the hand-wringing and heart-bleeding from the left over the shutdown, Pelosi thought it would be a good time to go on vacation on the taxpayers dime? This highlights her folly.

    And let’s not forget that Trump cancelled his trip (Davos) that was previously scheduled.

    That's because his trip was not as important as Pompeo/Bolton trips to meet with global allies.


    Pompeo’s and Bolton’s magical misery tours


    January 15


    (Andrew Caballero-Reynolds)
    Over the past week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton conducted separate trips to the Middle East. They aimed to convince U.S. allies of the Trump administration’s commitment to their security and interests, no matter the president’s erratic rhetoric and decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria. But it doesn’t seem that either Bolton or Pompeo achieved anything like success.
    Bolton made stops in Israel and Turkey, while Pompeo conducted an eight-day tour that included a controversial speech Thursday in Cairo. He used the address to attack the alleged misdeeds of the Obama administration and rattle the saber at Iran. Pompeo then called on a number of Arab monarchies before leaving for home from Oman on Monday.

    For his encore performance, he should quietly remove all booze from govt flights. LEt them find out in the air...
    Remember last time Pelosi was speaker?


    But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.
