It's more than this trip - any Congressional trip has been cancelled by the President. But all the senior White House staffers scheduled to attend the Economic Conference in Davos next week will still go. Elites gotta Elite.

Brilliant point ..... a REAL sign of WINNING is for the Queen of the Congress to break over 100 years of Tradition and Precedent and lock the doors of the US House against the President and forbid the State of the Union Address.

That is REAL "winning".

What does a 78 year old woman, who has trouble moving around, doing going to a war zone? At best, she's going to put lives in danger without cause or justification.


It's a dog & pony show junket.

Government shutdown.

Pelosi was elected Speaker of the House and straightaway got bills passed bills in the House and on to the Senate.

McConnell refuses to even bring them up for a vote until he has Trump's solemn word, whatever that's worth, that he will sign.

Trump disrupted thousands of lives and McConnells allowing him to continue doing it.

Don't take my word for it?

Here's Jon Tester.

I've not defended Trump in any manner. I've condemned Trump for this very thing. They did have an agreement until Trump got his chain pulled. This problem is far bigger than this one item.

She should stay home and work on a compromise to reopen the government. Actually she, among the other old folks, should retire and let some new blood lead.
