Business should not proceed as normal with the government shut down and 800K federal workers not getting paid. That is why I had no issue with a delay of the SOTU address and denial of a plane for the Democratic congressional delegation visit abroad. I however also feel that the travel rule regarding military planes should also apply to the POTUS and his family unless it is an emergency governmental purpose. A vacation trip to Mar a Lago by the FLOTUS in my opinion is not a priority and should not be undertaken until the shutdown is resolved. I think it the ultimate hypocrisy for members of the first family to be going on government funded resort getaways while federal workers receive no pay and are having issues keeping up with their bills and daily expenses. The first family and congress should both suffer the consequences of their inability to resolve this crisis.

You don't get to decide the policy and neither does the lame stream media.


Keep posting photos though.
I like seeing the most beautiful FLOTUS we've ever had, both inside and out.

As someone once said, "Elections have consequences." I forget who that was.

She probably didn’t pick a fight with the president. Plus, she’s much better looking and Air Force personnel like her more.

While federal workers go without pay and suffer, Melania trump goes full Marie Antoinette using military jets for resort weekend getaways. It is shameful and the ultimate hypocrisy. The POTUS and congress should suffer as long as workers are not getting paid.

Well, it's true she's the only FLOTUS whose insides of her anatomy we've been able to see, but most people don't consider that a positive thing.

As for the rest of it, GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds. But we all know Melania doesn't care, she made sure that we knew that.

If you were married to a guy with orange hair who cheats on you, brags about groping women, and lies constantly, I think you would be on the first plane outta here also.

You would have to plan it better than Pelosi. Even her minions were on a bus to nowhere.
Like most democrat plans and policies they don't work out.

Got it. Dems penalized on nonessential business trip via military. President and spouse do vacations on military.

Both should be grounded.
