Trump denies Pelosi aircraft for foreign trip in response to call for State of the Union delay

Republicans appear to have no clue how the government works.

The house holds the purse strings.

All kinds of Republicans when to Iraq and Afghanistan when Obama was president. It's part of their responsibility. They have to know what to spend money on. Part of that is going overseas and talking to our soldiers.

What Trump is doing is interfering with Congress doing their job.

Puerto Rico is a disaster. It wasn't 16 people who died, it was many hundreds of people. Democrats weren't going there for vacation. IT'S THEIR JOB!

Looks like a vacation to me.

Apparently, that picture ran 14 times on Fox in just one morning. I guess it was the only picture they could find.

And they went to see Hamilton:

As part of the trip, some members of Congress attended a special performance of Hamiltonthat Lin-Manuel Miranda brought to the island to help raise money for relief efforts. But members paid for their own tickets, which ran about $500.

Why the White House is attacking Democrats for traveling to Puerto Rico, explained

============

Now if it were Republicans, the tax payers would have paid for those fund raising Hamilton tickets.

Despite the death and destruction wrought by Hurricane Maria, Trump has referred to the federal government’s response as an “incredible, unsung success.” He has tried to downplay damage wrought by the storms with false claims like, “The electricity was broken before the storms.” The president has also made baseless insinuations that the mayor of San Juan — Carmen Yulín Cruz, who has been sharply critical of the president — did something illegal with supplies from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Neal Katyal, former acting solicitor general, decried the White House’s attacks on members of Congress who traveled with him to Puerto Rico over the weekend.

I think there are still reports of breaking glass coming from her office as we speak.....

[tinydancer]

The best reports I have is their tour bus full of them don't know what to do now.

Oh life is good.

 

[Flopper]

OMG. This is one of the most hysterical moves I have ever witnessed but a smack down baby.

I am happy happy happy. Unreal. God bless President Trump. Told the bitch to fly commercial.

What goes around comes around Pelosi will make the AH trump weep

Oh, she will try, that’s a given. Will see how it pans out.

If anything it brought attention to the fact the Dems gave no interest in helping get government back fully operational as they were ready to fly off into the sunset.

As did Donnie.

 

[Lysistrata]

Someone needs to tell the moron pretending to be POTUS that he is attempting to "negotiate" with the wrong person. The last I heard Pelosi is NOT the president of Mexico. He should be landing in Mexico City as we speak. It's not that long a flight from DC.

Huge violation of security proceedure.

These trips are never ever announced before that take place and most of the time we don't mind it about them until they are over and the VIPs are safely in the air on the way home.

National security is not tRump's forte.

It was a public smackdown and well deserved and it had nothing to do with national security. A well deserved smackdown.

You are wrong.

Vacations in PR during a shutdown that requires their attention is 2020 Gold.

Democrats have no concept of border security, along with many other stupid perceptions like socialism works.

I'm sure she cancelled it due to the shutdown if it was even scheduled. Trump lies.

Prove it or shut up.

Trump postpones Pelosi’s official trip to Afghanistan — unless she wants to "fly commercial"

The details of Pelosi’s trip had not previously been made public, reportedly due to security concerns. According to Hammill, the delegation of lawmakers was planning on stopping in Brussels, Belgium where there was a scheduled meeting with North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies, as well as military leaders. Contrary to Trump’s letter, the delegation was not planning on going to Egypt.

----------------

Trump is talking about dropping out of NATO. We know that. Our allies are wondering what is going on.

----------------

“The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation and thanks to our men and women in uniform for their service and dedication, and to obtain critical national security and intelligence briefings from those on the front lines,” Pelosi’s spokesperson Drew Hammill said. Hammill added that both Trump and a delegation of congressional Republicans also travelled abroad visit the troops during the government shutdown.

-----------------

It's the job of the house to fund what the government does. It's also part of their constitutionally mandated oversight, which is also part of their job.

Trump is interferring with Congress doing it's job.

But most Republicans are such t@@ds that they don't even know what our government actually does.
They've spewed that "it doesn't work" and "they don't do anything" for so long, they actually believe their own ridiculous nonsense.

The reason Republicans constantly say government doesn't work is because they aren't smart enough to make it work. And when it works, their leaders can't loot the country.

Republicans are so dumb that when their leaders tell them tax cuts for billionaires is good for the country, they believe it.

Says the freak who mainlines the DNC Kool-Aid.

And that Kool-Aid is "what"? Go ahead, make something up.

If you can't attack the message, attack the messenger. Your kind are good at that. But it's effectiveness is wearing kind of thin.

We love the Democratic Party message.
Open borders and defunding ICE.

Trump’s laughing his ass off at you.

You think it's Trump who is laughing?

Pelosi and company have shown QUITE CLEARLY they don't care about the national security of America so why the fuck should we care about theirs?

Please show Nancy peolosi violating national security. I can show several instances of tRump doing so.

No, he jack knifed our soldiers overseas. Keeping Congress from funding them and getting them what they need.

Are all Republicans this dumb?

Not a single one is defending our soldiers.

Pigloski didn't need to go overseas for that to happen, freak boy.

oh stop the BS please They care more than the money grubbing vile idiot you support now

If they cared AT ALL they would give the money to build the wall,not just lip service to "border security" They don't care about the victims of invaders crime either...They care more about gubmint workers that are "hurting" than the dead victims of crime from those THEY allow into the country so they can stay in power.

Bullshit. The wall will not help, and they know it. That's why no money for your stupid wall.

Trump denies Pelosi aircraft for foreign trip in response to call for State of the Union delay

President Trump on Thursday appeared to deny military aircraft to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for an upcoming foreign trip, in response to her call to delay the State of the Union address amid the government shutdown.

In a stinging and curt letter, Trump said her trip has been “postponed.”


He wrote: “Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate. I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.”

Obviously not written by Trump

For one thing, there are big words in it.

Jealousy will get you no where. He stepped on her like the bug she is.

DJT's timing was exquisite....

Incorrect , exquisite timing would have been flying her TO Afghanistan, and then cancelling her return flight.

And then do another travel ban

You realize absolutely nothing is stopping Congress from funding anything right?

And I highly doubt our troops are going to be upset that congress members didn’t fly overseas to use them as photo op

WTF are you whining about? The DOD budget is approved. 75% of the government is funded. DHS is not.

If it won’t make a difference why not approve it and have it built anyway?
