Because petty power demonstrations appeal to Trump and his base.

Because she is as much a piece of trash as her disgusting husband & the rest of that corrupt family, that's why.

Next time Melania is speaker of the house and incharge of the purse of the nation, give me a call.
Mike Pomeo just flew off to North Korea.

You seem to think of that as a stinging riposte. In reality, you're just telling us that you can't defend your chosen one on this subject - like on so many others - and you choose to run away. So - bye, I guess.

That sums it up. Pelosi is banned from going on a work trip (Afghanistan is not a vacation destination) but God forbid the shutdown throw a kink in FLOTUS' umpteenth trip to Mar-a-Lago courtesy of us. I truly hope Americans aren't stupid enough to reelect this mean spirited moron.

I could agree with that ..... IF ...

1. Melania gets to Negotiate the Budget and Lead the House of Representatives
2. Melania was elected by the Citizen Voters
3. Melania received a Citizen Taxpayer Salary.

Her Great Sin is that she is married to the President of the United States, which means she is under constant attack by the Hysterical Meltdown Leftists.

Come on Scooby. Do you honestly think it’s alright for the Speaker of the House and an entire delegation of congress persons to go out of the country instead of trying to work out a deal to end the shutdown?

No non essential government travel by anyone until the shutdown is resolved and federal employees are once again being paid. This especially regards vacations. I am ok with Pompeo's trip to NK as it could be construed as essential to the security of the US. Trump should not fly to any rallies, photo-ops, or vacations as well. If he needs to fly for some critical issue that cannot be done in DC, I am ok with flying on a government plane. Our federal government is in crisis. It should not be business as usual for a select few.
