Trump Cancels Pelosi's Trip To Egypt, Brussels And Afghanastan

I really don't give a damn about the pissing contest between the Dems and Reps.


I just want to know why the Coast Guard is being punished? If you can't answer that then don't even bother with the usual partisan crapola.

Because our president shut down the government and mitch won't bring a vote to the floor that his president won't sign. So unless the democrats cave in to the crying commander in chief, the government stays closed.

It's also nice to see you only seem to care about the coast guard. What about all the other folks not getting paid? No concern for them?
 
Imagine announcing the person 2nd in line to the presidency would be in that war zone. He threatened the safety of a fellow law makers and this is a good thing in Trump fan nation eyes.
She didn't need the military transport to go but he made sure she didn't visit troops overseas by announcing her arrival.
Talk about disgusting.

This may be the best example of partisan hyperbolic nonsense that I have ever seen... and on this site that's saying something.

Bravo!

There are 800,000 employees so it would take quite a few pages to list all the jobs affected.

The Coast Guard just jumped out at me because they often put their lives on the line for us so it is anti-American to push economic hardship on them. Almost something the Russians would do.


Didn't mean to slight the others affected.
 
What's that term DP people like to use? Ah yes....so...

I guess Pelosi must have "struck a nerve" when she suggested Trump deliver SOTU in writing because of shut down security concerns. Hope it wasn't going to be an important trip, not like that would matter to him.



He's no "counter-puncher." He's a spoiled manchild with the thinnest skin ever.

No...he is merely giving the wench a taste of her own medicine.
 
Well, what did you expect when they elected a reality TV star?
Well you guys ran a idiot against him that put top security S*** on a private server and lied to the public about it. Maybe if YOU guys ran a better candidate Trump would still be a reality TV star and the Dems would be in power.
 
What exactly is childish about Pelosi's letter? How exactly can someone tell us about the State of the Union when that hasn't actually been decided yet?

Pelosi's reasons for sending that letter were under false pretenses and quite childish, She is obviously afraid of Trump using such a public forum such as the State of the Union address to take his message on the border wall directly to the people.
 
LMAO! What a petulant child he is. He's showing his true colors more every day and his bloated body is residing below an adolescent brain. He's a man-baby.

Actually that looks like one of Pelosi's baby pictures.

The Border Patrol puts their lives on the line too. Drug cartel smugglers can be very dangerous. And they need a barrier to help them do their job more safely and the majority of them want a barrier. They aren't getting paid either. Trump is trying to give the Border Patrol one of the tools they need to safely do their job. Talk with Nancy.

Trump has taken his hysteria to his rallies for more than 2 years now, he didn't need another 'rah rah' me and my wall' rally. He can use his public forum right there in his fat-ass seat behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office with lights-cameras-and action all for himself and his minions to salivate over. Oh but wait, that doesn't give him the opportunity to denigrate, shame and cajole the House in person, does it? Therein lies the truth.

Why does the Left ignore what every border patrol agents are saying? They insist we need more border walls. Why does the Left regard them with such disdain?

You said some words. Very good.


Trouble of it is, none of it changes the facts:

- Carter wouldn't have reacted.
- Reagan wouldn't have reacted.
- Bush Sr. wouldn't have reacted.
- Bill Clinton wouldn't have reacted.
- Bush Jr. wouldn't have reacted.
- Obama wouldn't have reacted.

But you're big brave man couldn't let another night go by whilst thinking about his petty revenge, so he canceled *gasp* a trip! And cited the shutdown! That totally showed her!









:2wave:
 
Could still have, on commercial flights, but not now.
What do you think- would a more mature individual have done this privately instead of the grandstanding? That letter was written for his adoring public.

You seem quite okay with Nancy's grandstanding with her own letter asking Trump do delay the SOTU speech under false pretenses. Trump is in effect talking down to Pelosi at her own level in hopes that she understands.
 
Pelosi has no intention of compromising with Trump. She has made that perfectly clear. Until she comes off her uncompromising position, the government will stay closed.

On the shutdown it is not 'Pelosi vs Trump'. It is Trump vs Congress. And since they represent the wider electorate it is Trump who should compromise with them. They offered a bill, he refused because it hurt is ego. He's willing to make 800,000 federal workers and their dependents suffer, as well as the infrastructure that relies on them, just for his pet vanity project.
 
And the clown show continues.

The usual Trump rim job artists are here to give their tounge a workout.
 
And the Dems just won the House in part by opposing it. If Trump caves on the Wall he is breaking the promise he made to the people who voted for him. And if the Democrats approve it they are breaking the promises THEY made to the people who put them in office. The government is divided on this because the voters are divided on it.

Democrats are known for stating: "Elections have consequences." Trump campaigned on border enforcement including the wall and was elected president. The democrats including Chuckie and Nancy voted for a wall during the Bush Administration. Why are they suddenly against it? There can only be two reasons. Either they are now in favor of illegal immigration for the sake of potential future democrat votes? Or they simply want to deny Trump a victory?

Trump represents the almost 63 million people who voted for him and his agenda. Baloney this is a vanity project. I wonder how much it took to bribe all of those border agents who support everything he's said about needing more wall.

The part is no one doing anything but Trump.

Seems he’s ready to make a deal. Where are the democrats?

If it’s so important to open the government why do they need to go on this trip?

Petty? Nope.

Not compared to not going to spend any money or even negotiate in the wall.

Guess the democrats really don’t care about those not getting paid and the government shut down.

Compared to your list .... Trumps one nut seems bigger than all theirs together.

Dems want to think they are high and mighty. Guess that grounding may cause them to pause and think... or not
 
Nancy Pelosi never told him not to give a SOTU address, she only told him that because of security concerns due to the shutdown that it would be better for him to do it in the Oval Office in front of cameras or in a presidential written release.

Translation: Nancy asked for the delay under false pretense. There are no security concerns. 75% of the government is operating. Only non-essential federal workers are furloughed or missing paychecks. The Secret Service, Capitol Police, etc are already well geared up for all the traditional security for the SOTU address. nancy is just afraid of Trump using such a public forum to take his border enforcement message directly to the people.

She got caught with her pants down and quick. Then, she doubled down with a really stupid reason.
 
If Trump and Pelosi want to have a pissing match by cancelling a plane trip or cancelling a speech , so be it. Who gives a damn anymore.

But when Trump did the stunt of shutting down innocent Federal workers including the Coast Guard then he becomes an enemy of the people of the US.

Like it or not, Pelosi and Schumer share the blame. Actually they deserve more of the blame. Trump is willing to directly negotiate with them. It's Chuck and Nancy who are in effect saying: "My way or the highway".

Nice try, sport, however the SOTU is not just about the border wall.

Are you for real? Where does such utter nonsense speculation about former presidents come from? Pelosi as far as I know is the first Speaker of the House to pull such a stunt. Your suggestion that no other president would have reacted is hysterical.
