(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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Fox News, he has convinced his base that immigrants put them in 'extreme danger' and only a wall will make them 'safe.' Unfortunately, their need to feel safe is much stronger than their will to grapple with a complex, multifaceted problem—a problem that will require serious engagement with complex policies to get at the root of it.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
