    She baited the hook and Fatso went for it. You'd have to be naïve to think she didn't know what she was doing.

    No, a self-destructive stupid response. Your PR assignment is to take one day and come up with a more appropriate resposte.

    You must hate the guy because he really hurt himself with his response.

    It was perfect. It costs hundreds of thousands dollars for these trips. While the Government is shut down we should curtail spending as much ax possible.

    And all future trips requesting Military transportation canceled till shutdown over. Republicans and Dems.

    I have to say that I have been so frustrated with the lack of commonsense in the part of Pelosi and sheeple Schumer, that I laughed my butt off when I heard all trips cancelled.

    Exactly. She even come out on top by trading a low-value trip for his State of the Union.

    Why would you laugh at Trump making a fool out of himself?

    As there are several airlines flying into a War Zone.

    And he has told the Taliban she is coming, indeed, violated secrecy to do so.

    One would think that even the lickspittle Senate would regard trying to assassinate a fellow high government official as an impeachable offense, but we shall see. Maybe once he tries it on one of them.

    I think we established that Trump is pretty immune to this kind of stuff.

    You may find his behavior amusing, but most Americans are tired of his act.

    I'd like this to be true, but in the past President Trump's approval ratings have taken a similar dip for a week or to before recovering to his "baseline" 42%ish. President Trump's base is very loyal and are very forgiving and/or have very short memories.

    I expect his approval ratings to be back to 42% by the end of January.

    Pelosi's presence in Afghanistan will change nothing. It's just an excuse for her and her staff to jet-set on the taxpayer dime.

    So Trump stopped Nancy Pelosi from wasting taxpayer money on a useless trip, yet somehow Trump is the one who is supposed to be embarrassed... interesting theory.

    Tell me, Ethereal....did Donald go on a PR jaunt to the ME when the current shutdown was in its early days?

    Nancy's trip to Afghanistan was a PR stunt and a visit from the bunch that supported Obama's rules of engagement that cost soldiers lives and kept isis fighters in the field is not going to cheer them up.

    So in your opinion Nancy never really wanted to go to Afghanistan to support our troops as other leftist in here claim. In your opinion it was all political theater on her part. Interesting hypothesis.

    Yep, it's hilarious in the 'fart joke' category. The appeal of Trump for his base is becoming clearer by the day.

    As a 'leftie', what I hate is a leader who acts like a schoolyard bully. One who is transparently petty and childish. One who lies, daily, without conscience. Or, perhaps more accurate, one who lies without recognition of the fact. Especially lies that are so easily proven as such. He underestimates the intelligence of his opponents (clearly he never read The Art of War), and understands perfectly the intelligence of his base.
