It's Wall Street business and you can bet she is getting paid for it.

That is REAL "winning".
She never did that. Why do you feel you have to resort to falsehoods? (It does explain why lying politicians do not bother people though)

Your turn Nancy.

Bingo.

I find your ability to digest the complexities of statism to be admirable. On the flip side, I find your continue support of statism while having this understanding to be totally perplexing.

The most fascinating thing about this thread is that the left actually believes their upside down, inside out, alternate reality portrayal of what is happening. While Americans stand up and cheer yet another example of Trump's uniquely courageous leadership, the left is convinced he's trying to sabotage his re-election chances. Lol!

But they're not joking! It is derangement beyond all attempts at explanation....save for one. PC. And we're just beginning to understand it's true power. Nothing else could have so badly damaged so many minds.

GROUNDED: Nancy Pelosi Tried to Go Overseas During the Shutdown, President Trump Just Killed the Trip

President Trump sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday afternoon informing her an upcoming taxpayer funded, military escorted trip overseas has been postponed.

"Dear Madame Speaker. 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 it 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," President Trump wrote.

I had been expecting the SOTU kerfuffle to blow over. But with this, I am now starting to think not.

Unless Speaker Pelosi is willing to compromise with President Trump, that is.

A trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan is not a vacation. Pelosi was going there to visit the troops. What an idiot trump is?

Why would troops want to meet her? She’s the reason gov is shutdown. And she’s no one of any importance.
Oh I met Nancy polosi? Oh lame. To top it off troops don’t care whether or not people come. It just makes the politicians feel better about themselves
