(thread) I remember Pelosi's tantrum in 2007 abour requiring military VIP flights to and from CA because she was Speaker. I thought Trump's letter was in part being ironic, as it's her demands 12 years ago that put her at the mercy of the overgrown man-child. It hadn't occurred to me until now that it might be an attempt to curb her greater abuses of the privilege. 2

Chef Jim Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Personally I think Trump blew it on this one. It would have been better if he let her go. And every day tweet "I'm here ready to negotiate. Where's Waldo Pelosi?"

He is a little wannabe dictator who can't pee straight. Quote “After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines,” Hammill said. Overnight, he added, a new State Department threat assessment indicated “that the President announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased the danger to the delegation and to the troops, security, and other officials supporting the trip. . . . This morning, we learned that the Administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/security-concerns-created-by-trumps-disclosure-will-delay-afghanistan-trip-pelosi-says/2019/01/18/b2d61536-1b2f-11e9-8813-cb9dec761e73_story.html?utm_term=.005011b80b43

"We will put a man on the moon"...a totally sensible and everyday goal. "Maybe I shouldn't give a crap when a professional sports player makes a silent, non-violent protest?" = MOST RADICAL POSITION IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!!!!!!! If this is representative of the Republican representative's education, no wonder they can't end a shutdown. I am amazed this one hasn't strangled himself attempting to lace his shoes. The shoelace is often referred to as the quotation mark of outerwear. Often misunderstood, frequently used incorrectly.
