Trump denies Pelosi aircraft for planned trip abroad

 

WASHINGTON — It took President Donald Trump one day to flex his executive power back at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, denying her an aircraft for a planned trip abroad in apparent response to her attempt to delay his State of Union address amid their government shutdown clash.

The nation's two most powerful leaders appeared to be engaged in a game of Constitutional one-upmanship, as negotiations to end the 4-week stalemate failed to produce results.

In a letter to Pelosi on Thursday, Trump said that due to the shutdown a trip to Egypt, Brussels and Afghanistan would be delayed, declaring: "In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I'm sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate."

:lol:

While I don't think pelosis trip was exactly necessary for the functioning of our military overseas, one thing I will point out is this:

 

the people involved in providing security for the State of the Union are almost 100% not getting paid. The people involved in this trip? Fall under the military and as such are getting paid.

 

Again, I don't think the trip was necessary. And I don't think either side should treat our military as political props in their little melodramas. But also, I don't like us f*cking around too much with the second person in the line of succession - R or D.

 

What both sides have to remember is that the longer this goes on, the worse it is for both sides. But, f+ck them. Far more importantly is the fact that real people are getting real hurt real fast.

This is pretty commonplace. For one thing, Congress controls the purse strings. Meeting face-to-face with local leaders who say we need more of this, or we need less of that and doing so face to face is a long-standing tradition that serves us particularly well.

 

that's ultimately part of the reason we defeated the Russians in Afghanistan. Meeting face-to-face with local leaders who wouldn't give us a spin and bullshit that the Afghan politicians would.

 

With Trump going ape shitt on his overseas deployment policies such that even his own defense chiefs can't keep up with his day-to-day tantrums, it's important to bring some stability to the situation.

 

But, like I said, it doesn't have to be right now by any means.

We beat Russia because Nancy Pelosi went to Afghanistan?

Watching CNN in the hotel room. They went from talking non-stop about Giuliani's remarks about Russia collusion to talking non-stop about how Trump is depriving the troops of a visit to Pelosi.

Why does she need to go to these countries?

Nancy pelosi is famous for using "fact finding" missions as free vacations for her family, including commandeering housing at bases and such. She's a corrupt POS.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Department of Defense (DOD) detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosis multiple requests for military air travel. The documents, obtained by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), include internal DOD email correspondence detailing attempts by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosis numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft as well as the speakers last minute cancellations and changes. The following are a few highlights from the documents, which are linked in full below:

 

In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, Any chance of politely querying [Pelosis team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?[T]heres no need to block every weekend just in case The email also notes that Pelosis office had, a history of canceling many of their past requests.

 

One DOD official complained about the hidden costs associated with the speakers last minute changes and cancellations. We havefolks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc.

 

The documents include a discussion of House Ethics rules and Defense Department policies as they apply to the speakers requests for staff, spouses and extended family to accompany her on military aircraft. In May 2008, for example, Pelosi requested that her husband join her on a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) into Iraq. The DOD explained to Pelosi that the agency has a written policy prohibiting spouses from joining CODELs into combat zones.

 

Documents obtained from the U.S. Army include correspondence from Speaker Pelosis office requesting an Army escort and three military planes to transport Pelosi and other members of Congress to Cleveland, Ohio, for the funeral services of the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Pelosi noted in her letter of August 22, 2008, that such a request, labeled Operation Tribute was an exception to standard policy.

 

The documents also detail correspondence from intermediaries for Speaker Pelosi issuing demands for certain aircraft and expressing outrage when requested military planes were not available. It is my understanding there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptableThe speaker will want to know where the planes are wrote Kay King, Director of the House Office of Interparliamentary Affairs. In a separate email, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King writes, This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset peaker.

 

During another email exchange DOD staff advised Kay King that one Pelosi military aircraft request could not be met because of crew rest requirements and offered to help secure commercial travel. Kay King responded: We appreciate the efforts to help the codel [sic] fly commercially but you know the problem that creates with spouses. If we can find another way to assist with military assets, we would like to do that.

 

Speaker Pelosi came under fire in 2007 for requesting a 42-seat Air Force carrier to ferry the Speaker and her staff back and forth between San Francisco, CA and Washington, DC. Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was allowed access to a 12-seat commuter jet for security reasons after the events of 9/11.

 

Taken together, these documents show that Speaker Pelosi treats the Air Force like her personal airline, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. Not only does Speaker Pelosi issue unreasonable requests for military travel, but her office seems unconcerned about wasting taxpayer money with last minute cancellations and other demands.

Along come the Trumpettes scattering up to defend their boys hypocrisy.

 

Uh, Here's a thought. Actually spend the weekend with your husband.

 

alternatively, you do know that most of Congress and Senate actually takes commercial airlines just like you and I right?

 

And of course, option number three. You do know her husband actually owns a fuucking airplane?

Oh Wiffle. You do know she requires extensive security when she travels, like every other FLOTUS, right? Hopping on Jet Blue isn't really an option.
