To tell the truth, I found the pile of luggage in the hallway very amusing.

Uh, no. That trip was planned months and months in advance. Going to Afghanistan isn't not at all comparable with Mnuchin and his wife going on a shopping trip. Now that's a junket.

Actually, Pelosi is pretty darned skillful at herding cats in the House of Representatives. Head and shoulders above her predecessors Bohner and Ryan. No comparison.

Riding around in circles in a USAF bus so that the press couldn't catch up with them. Such leadership.

It takes two to tango. Difficult to do that with a man-child who says "it's my way or the highway" and has said no, no, no, to a number of possibilities floated. Plus you never know when Trump will change his mind and renege on a deal.

Pelosi = Democrat = always wrong
Trump = Republican = always right


Does that pretty much cover your position here (and elsewhere) ?

And now this, because nothing says "presidential" like endangering American citizens:

"The back and forth between President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., over the partial government shutdown escalated Friday, as Pelosi said the White House leaked plans for a congressional delegation to fly commercially to Afghanistan.
On Thursday, Trump said he was revoking a military flight for the CODEL, suggesting Pelosi fly commercial instead.
Pelosi was apparently prepared to do just that. But she told reporters Friday that in the midst of the planning, word came that the White House had leaked that the delegation was preparing to travel commercially."

Pelosi played this well.

Trump looks petty and foolish.

She didn't have to fly to Afghanistan.

The bipartisan group going on the trip have now bonded.

All those in Brussels and Afghanistan have likely teleconferenced and all agreed that Trump is a fool.
