The REALLY Important Things (Congress, Reagan, Pelosi, deaths)

[Last1Out]

“I thought it was unusual for the President of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia first. Saudi Arabia!” Pelosi said.

“It wasn’t even alphabetical. I mean, Saudi Arabia.”


Alphabetical? Really? That's Nancy for ya.

You'd think she'd know after so many years in Congress that the MIC would insist their best foreign,customer be visited first. So what id they're also the source of those causing the most deaths by terrorism in the US and have a well documented history of promoting/funding a western hating form of Islam?

Your sarcasm detector must be broken. It was a joke. A bad joke that nobody laughed at, but a joke.

As is usual, there is more to the quote the mentioned. I think she was tryng to be off the cuff and it didn't translate very well. Here is the question and the entire answer from a press conference FWIW

Q: Thank you, Leader Pelosi. I’m just wondering for your impressions of President Trump’s trip so far, his first foreign trip. And do you think it has been a successful trip and some of the –

Leader Pelosi. Do I think it’s a successful trip? Here’s the thing. I was in like four countries, five countries, whatever, during the break. And during that time, if anybody said anything to me ‑‑ not the heads of state, because they understand; they’re respectful of our head of state, and so we don’t engage in any conversations of that kind with them ‑‑ but any members of civil society or any people that we had met with outside of the officials of those countries, and they would bring up President Trump and their criticism.

I said, ‘You know what? That’s not why we’re here.’ We don’t criticize our President when we go abroad. We may have our disagreements, which we fully air in our own country, but we don’t go overseas and criticize our President. So, if that’s what you came to this meeting to do, that’s not what we are here to do.

Same thing, while he’s there, we’ll have some things to say about his visit. I have said I thought it was unusual for the President of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia first. Saudi Arabia? It wasn’t even alphabetical. I mean, Saudi Arabia.

Now, notice the previous five Presidents – President Reagan, President George Herbert Walker Bush, President Clinton, President George W. Bush, and President Obama – four of them went to Canada first, and one of them went to Mexico. George W. Bush went to Mexico first, in our hemisphere. It didn’t have to be in our hemisphere, but our friends and neighbors.

What was the decision-making process to go to Saudi Arabia first? That’s a question that I have. And what policy flows from that? There are further questions I’ll have when the President returns.

What's REALLY important is for politicians and their followers to stop diving this country. Instead of putting party before country, let's put country before party and see how that goes.

United we stand, divided we fall.
