Right. Have you not ever decided to do something you really DON'T want to do, but it would look good on your resume, or you were expected to do it?

And then, thank the good Lord above, you weren't able to do it, but you got credit for acting like you tried to do it?

That.

They are vacations. No reason for them to go at all. If they think they need briefings this can all be handled in a secure briefing room. The military troops don't need her to come thank them. She could easily have sent a a video message. These people just like to live off of the government tit.

Trump is a master at this. He's exposed the Democrats for the hypocrites they are and he got world wide coverage for this one.

Watching that bus of hapless Democrats ride around in circles, while the government is shut down, is simply priceless.


Has to be one of the greatest political out maneuverings of recent years.

"She even said he could do the speech from the oval office" Oh, how generous of her. Since when does she get to call the shots? Last time I checked, SHE isn't the President. I'm sure she wishes she was but she ain't.

She has guaranteed that when Trump does give it, everyone will be watching it.



Just two weeks in and she's pretty much brought political disaster to her own party.

Dems made a big mistake putting elderly Nancy back in charge of the House. She can't compete with Trump.

I don't know, why did the Dems and lefties celebrate what Pelosi did regarding the SOTU? You answer that question first.

He "announced the plans to the world" AFTER HE CANCELLED the trip. Duh.

He also cancelled the trip to the Economic Forum:

But no one is whining about that, just the Dems that poor Nancy couldn't take a vacation on a military plane. And can you all please stop acting like it was going to be "horrible" because part of the itinerary was in Afghanistan? Like she's going to be boots on the ground in the war zone. Give it a rest. They were going to be wined and dined and rub elbows and make bs deals - and Trump spoiled their little plans. BOO. HOO.

Nancy crashed the world economy last time she was Speaker and she's trying to do it again but Trump is going to trump her and stop her....I'm glad about that.
