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.”

This is funny...
She canceled his State of the Union. a time when the President couldn't look more Presidential, even Trump can't screw it up... It is very public, highly watched and commented about.. It is seriously high profile and more.... Pelosi called off for a good reason and said he could write a letter or give the statement from the White House (think she was pulling the p*ss asking him to write a letter)...

Pelosi was going on a top secret meetings with top Military in war zones. It is no pleasure cruise and Trump has managed himself only to do it once after been embarrassed into it. Pelosi could have just done it on a conference video call at home but wanted to show the soldiers that they matter and are not forgotten about. Pelosi gets all the credit without having to even go, actually better than that now everyone knows that she goes and doesn't make a song a dance about it...

Pelosi big win...

The Speaker of the House has no business meeting with our military leaders anywhere or at any time. She is not in the chain of command.

Trump Cancels Pelosi’s Trip in Response to Her Call to Delay State of the Union

Pelosi was set to travel to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan, according to Trump’s letter, and reportedly planned to leave on Thursday.

Trump lied. Trump's letter is not a journalist.
Trump did Pelosi was going to Egypt but was called out for lying about that.

Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill:


Pelosi’s CoDel to Afghanistan included a stop in Brussels for required pilot rest (and meetings with NATO commanders because of that). No stop in Egypt. Group wanted to “express appreciation & thanks to our men & women in uniform” in Middle East.

Via a Fox News journalist who covers Congress. Chad Pergram on Twitter

i don't give a fuck what trump did. YOU SAID "No news report said she was going to Egypt. Zero"

and i provided a link where one did say that. take it up with variety.

as for media lying? NO!!!! STOP IT!!! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!

Your news report said that Trump said she was going to Egypt.
News reports didn't assert that she was going.
Now you're in the Uncomfortable position to say that Pelosi’s spokesman is lying.
CNN:

Later, Pelosi's spokesman said the stop in Brussels was mainly to allow the pilot to rest and that Egypt was not on her itinerary.

hillary? is that you?

i'm in no position at all cause you are thinking i give a fuck one way or the other where the moistened bint was going. i don't. but i'm glad she's NOT going cause they ALL need to get their happy asses back to work and figure this out and both sides need to stop being so stubborn it shuts us all down.

let me try to be more clear -
i
do
not
give
a
fuck
where
she
was
going.

i simply pointed out a news/media site that said she was going to egypt. you wanna nit pick so you can be correct, have at it and i'll stop hitting "show ignored content" and we can both go on about our lives w/o the other.

Your posts show you do give a fuck about where she was going. And again, news reports said that Trump said she was going to Egypt. (He lied).

Newsflash for your liberal retards: He was given bad information and repeated it. That is NOT a lie. Saying she was going to Egypt and knowing that she was not, would then be a lie.

You libtards don't know the definition of a lie because you do it 24/7/365, even when the truth would not hurt.

 

[Daryl Hunt]

I don't really care what she does at the point. I am more in line to thinking that McConnel needs to be sent packing yesterday. McConnel has brought congress to a screeching halt. He won't allow bills to be presented to the Senate to be voted on unless his Daddy, the Trumpster okays it. That means we have two branches of the Government that just as well go home, the Congress and the President. Guess the Supreme Court may have to intervene on this one. It's not their job but they will do it if necessary. They have in the past.

I may be right of the rightest person here, Daryl, but the VA hospitals taking care of our vets from the Vietnam and combined middle east conflicts are close to seeing their health care evaporate if Ms. Pelosi does not knock off the prioritizing of killing off the character of President Trump over 800,000 government workers who work to benefit the American people. If she fails to take her responsibilities seriously, our vets are again on the frontline, as some of their medical problems acquired on the field of battle require intensive care and follow up to this day.
As right as I am, I speak in behalf of the vets who gave it all up if they had to but somehow survived--they do not need interruptions in any way shape or form inflicted on them by actual war between the Congress v everyone else they're constantly pillorying to death.

I'm sorry if Ms. Pelosi's Jimmy Choo Reginas got wrinkled in her delayed baggage, but she needs to grow up and take her House Speaker's job as service to the people of the United States and not exclusively for the benefit of the rogue press.

She may not do that unless the American people unite and let her know her puerile behavior toward the tasks ahead of getting our government going again is not appreciated.

Not a very good argument since the VA is fully funded and none of it's is closed down. You can try and use the sympothy card if you want but pick a different subject for it.

It boils down that we don't have a working Government right now. Congress is frozen as long as they can't vote on the floor for anything that Trump doesn't pre approve. That isn't the way it's supposed to work. So because of McConnel, Congress comes to a screeching halt. The President shut down most of what is under him. There goes that other part of the Government. The ONLY part that is still working is the Supreme Court and we probably need to get this in front of them since the other two branches are completely out of commission.

Congress is supposed to create bills. Even bills that the President doesn't like. They send that bill to his desk and he either signs it or vetoes it. If he vetoes it then it goes back to the Senate and the House and they have the option to change it so it can pass or do an over ride veto proof bill. That is the way it's supposed to work. It's not working that way and the whole damned Government save the Supreme Court is frozen. Right now, that's McConnels doing. He's playing Trumpest Politics by essentially shutting down congress. You can blame the Dems all you want but no bills will get passed until this impasse is taken care of. Our Congress is broken.

The other day when I checked 4% of it was closed down. The site I was reading was saying that with each passing week, more and more people would lose their jobs. So you can taunt me all you want, but I'm here to tell you I don't like ANYTHING cut from our vets. They deserve A+ from this nation, and not A- because they gave A+, and I'm such a stickler on our vets I am not backing down. My family has a long history of our men going to war and coming home with medals of valor of all kinds. All our WWII family members are gone, One of the Vietnam members is gone, and one is unaccounted for because his regiment was that one that had trouble in Cambodia because nobody came back to get them out of there. When he finally did find his way back, he was shocked at the country he came back to, and he took no comfort from our family who loved him to pieces. That's why I don't think second best is good enough. My cousin knew it when he got back to this Jane-Fonda-loving hellhole he never dreamt was possible. These guys put every hair on their head on the line to win a war, and I don'[t give a damn who doesn't want them to settle for A- when they earned A+. Period.

The only hope this nation has it poops on, and the DNC makes certain it smells worse for vets than anybody else who'd never do what our men did in Viet Nam and other wars we've waged to ensure another 9/11 never happens on this soil again.

Short version, I agree that we disagree with only one exception: I'm totally and 100% right.

You missed something. Congress is supposed to present bills to the President who can sign it into law OR veto it. Then it goes back to the Senate and House and they can elect to make it where the president will sign it or they can vote on it again and make it veto proof. That system is broken due to McConnel, more or less, completely shutting down Congress. He won't allow the laws to go onto the senate floor to be voted on or even filibustered. He will ONLY if his Master, the Trumpster has pre approved it. That means 2/3s of our Federal Government is broken. And the sooner we get this in front of the one branch that still works, Supreme Court, the better off we all will be.

BTW, I use the VA myself and have very few complaints and can use it on a daily basis. The shutdown isn't causing any VA people to be cut. It's funded.

I'm so grateful you are being well-served.

I tried to break away from it and go Civilian. Wow, what a wakeup call. The Civilian Health Care is so broke it's scary. Unlike the normal Medicare, I am fully funded for medical and still had trouble getting health care. You want to do something? Do something about that. And people wonder why many of us Vets push for civilian universal health care which is essentially what we have with the VA.

SWEET MOVE, Donald! Scrag the old bitch!

Just how much f---king putty does she put on her face now not to look as old as she really is anyway? If I were Trump, I'd find a way of stopping HER paychecks.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Trump feels he's being denied his favorite toy, a clapping audience, so he goes to his safe place, acting like a toddler in the Wal-Mart parking lot. And the MAGAs applaud as he pounds and kicks the ground.

Tell us, red hats, denying Pelosi a CODEL hurts who? Sure, denying Trump a SOTU hurts Trump, but denying servicemen and women an opportunity to speak directly to their elected representatives hurts who? (Hint: it ain't Pelosi)

Would you ever read your Constitution instead of using it to wipe your ass?

Wrong, how very wrong. The Speaker of the House and all of Congress (both houses) needs to go on fact finding missions to determine how they should vote on certain subjects. Or would you rather they just be treated like mushrooms and go by what Trump says.

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Pelosi is a classless piece of shit. That Bitch gets to go down in history as the first Speaker of The House to ever 'dis-invite' a president from a State of The Union Address. No one has ever committed such a vile act before Nancy Pelosi chose to do so.

so, cant she and her possy just take a bus instead?

I have and those CodeLs are important. Unless you want them to vote on military bills, be treated like mushrooms and only go by what Trump tells them. It might work out for McConnel but the rest aren't in that basket. I wouldn't believe a thing Trump says about anything and I would want to see it for myself.

Trump denying Pelosi use of military transport is a weak move.

It's nothing in comparison to Pelosi denying Trump his his State of the Union address. Trump does not get his moment in the sun this year. He must be PISSED!

Nancy CANNOT deny his State of the Union speech. Read your Constitution, dumbass!

However if he is going to give it in the House before a Joint Session ...he needs an invite from Pelosi.

There are many ways that SOTU can be delivered...doesn't have to be there. That's on him. He can do it from the Oval Office..or just mail it in...like the rest of his Presidency

The President should deliver the SOTU at the Orange Bowl. Pelosi et al can forsake their constitutional duties and not show up if they want. Let the PEOPLE get a chance to see the event as well and to exercise their first amendment rights to show their own disdain for Pelosi et al

The Constitution requires the President to report on the State of the Union TO CONGRESS.

DUMBASS!

It does not say "in Congress", now does it, dumbass?

The government has the ability to stop ANY paycheck or to go in and impound ANY bank account! The IRS could seize your bank account tomorrow if it wanted. Like Hillary Clinton who went after one of the women who accused her husband of rape and made the family cat disappear, maybe Donald just needs to start throwing his weight around a bit more like Obama and the Clintons did.

You apparently have your very own private Constitution, because U.S. Constitution says no such thing.

The U.S. Constitution requires the President to report on the State of the Union to Congress, but does not specify how. For more than a hundred years Presidents reported in writing only. It's only been since the 20th century that Presidents have been INVITED to a joint session of Congress to deliver the State of the Union as a speech.

Try reading the U.S. Constitution.

MORON!

I did. Trump is upholding his Constitutional requirement. Pelosi is butthurt.

Yes she can. The State of the Union address is only because congress invites the President to a joint session of congress. She does not have to give this invitation.

The President IS required to report on the State of the Union to Congress, but that can be in writing.

I don't really care what she does at the point. I am more in line to thinking that McConnel needs to be sent packing yesterday. McConnel has brought congress to a screeching halt.

The U.S. Constitution requires the President to report on the State of the Union to Congress, but does not specify how. For more than a hundred years Presidents reported in writing only. It's only been since the 20th century that Presidents have been INVITED to a joint session of Congress to deliver the State of the Union as a speech.

Try reading the U.S. Constitution.

MORON!

Have you read it?

Article 2, Section 3. State of the Union, Convening Congress:

"He shall (President) from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."

"... as he shall think proper"... Got it? ANY WAY HE WANTS.
