These people are idiots. You cannot "charter" a commercial flight, you can buy seats on that flight but if you charter a flight it's no longer a commercial flight.

didn't say it was better or worse, Just said the line starts with Pres. then VP 2nd) then senate and 4th Speaker of the house. This is not about which would be the better of 2, 3 or 4. What is with the "bless your little heart crap?

Actually, Pelosi is pretty darned skillful at herding cats in the House of Representatives. Head and shoulders above her predecessors Bohner and Ryan. No comparison.
My guess is if she was planning on flying commercial as she is now saying it would have leaked prior to her bus wastefully burning fossil fuel as it circled Washington.

Not to mention, there's no way in hell they would agree to the $100,000 free drinks!

Please name the 7 Republican House of Representatives members who were scheduled to travel with Pelosi. It's possible some Republicans in their districts may want to consider primarying them in 2020.

That may have been what she meant, but that wasn't the end of what she said.


The direct quote is "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversy".

Don't get out much?

Commercial plane does not mean you are assigned a seat. It means it is not a private plane but rather a commercial enterprise.

People charter commercial planes all the time. There's a whole business around it. Who knew, eh?

Here's a website on commercial jet charter prices.

See what the cost is to charter a jet to reality.

Now, why do they charter them?

So, President, vice-president, speaker...

I owe you an apology, you are correct; she is above the senate pro tame. As for the rest, how long ago was this wonderful trip to visit our military planned? She has been approved to travel to visit if she uses commercial airlines, no one has said she should not. The first lady does not use commercial airlines, we all know that, nor would we expect her to. she travels with secret service. I don't think the congressional members do. .
