    Trump's spiked with Hispanics, TWENTY POINTS, since the shutdown crisis. And small wonder, Democrats want to put all those rapists and murders IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS!

    [​IMG]

    The Amazing President Trump's canceled Lying Palsi Pelosi's PR junket and international shopping spree at the last second, which someone here labeled "the pimp-slap heard 'round the world," to be followed up by the proverbial kick in the rear end of dumping her luggage in front of her office. This man has absolutely shredded so many narratives and pure political bullshit over just this past month alone that you'd swear it was the Democrats that got wiped out last November instead of taking control of the House mere days ago. And he's not doing this out of meanness or spite or pettiness; he's doing this to underscore the deadly serious nature with which he treats our national security and sovereignty as well as the Democrat-Left-Media Complex's lack of seriousness and indeed eagerness to keep America vulnerable.

    Sorry to see you're so very sad but perhaps the realization that she can find other transportation, and leave at some secret hour, will cheer you up again.

    I disagree with Trump canceling the flight. I would have waited and canceled the return flight.

    Must be your perception to jump in here to defend her against Trump.

    No Trump didn't lie again. But Pelosi and her Beta male spokesperson did. Like I said let me know when McConnell catches up to how many times Pelosi has been re-elected. Mitch 5 times. Damn, he has a long long way to go.

    Good Job by Francesca Chambers in setting them out.

    I'd consider that closer to the truth if it came from someone who didn't have such a low post to like ratio. .. and on an open forum at that!

    No fancy trip like before, huh?


    But it turns out these taxpayer funded Congressional Delegation [CODEL] trips lead by Pelosi have been pretty fancy in the past. She's also a habitual abuser of taxpayer funding and the military for personal use.

    Back in 2008, Judicial Watch exposed the Speaker for lavish spending on booze and free trips for spouses on military planes.

    Congressional spouses could fly for free on military planes, which is why Pelosi staffer pushed for military planes....

    In a separate email, when told a certain type of luxury Air Force aircraft would not be available, Pelosi staffer writes, “This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset peaker.”



    Tom Fitton

    @TomFitton



    Purchases for one Pelosi-led CODEL on May 15-20, 2008 included: Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewar’s scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin...



    Tom Fitton

    @TomFitton



    .@SpeakerPelosi used the Air Force aircraft for a total of 85 trips, covering 206,264 miles, from March 2, 2009 through June 7, 2010. Pelosi, her guests and Air Force personnel logged a total of 428.6 hours on these flights......snip~

    Imagine that.....not an Army Transport Plane. Had to be Air Force.

    What was President Lincoln's response to sedition and obstructionism when the Democratic party refused to accept the outcome of the 1860 Presidential election ?

    These US officials will not be traveling to any war zone. Perhaps Trump saved their lives. They can show their gratefulness by promising to secure the southern border and re-opening government.

    Well revisiting history back in 2010...

    TAXPAYERS' $101,000 INCLUDES PELOSI'S IN-FLIGHT 'FOOD, BOOZE'
    Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else'

    It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.

    But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.


    https://www.wnd.com/2010/01/123472/#qVGcA2Ha5uD36gw8.99

    Everyone was warned last month while Nancy was staying at a five star resort in Hawaii over Christmas ...

    FLASHBACK: Pelosi Under Fire for Footing Taxpayers With Her Personal $101k “In Flight Services” Bill
    December 24, 2018

    In honor of Nancy Pelosi imminently becoming speaker of the house, here is a flashback to 2010.

    Nancy Pelosi was under fire for finding a way to rack up a $101k bill for “in flight services,” nearly $1k a week.

    Guess who foot the bill? Taxpayers.

    [​IMG]

    “Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. “And these documents suggest the Speaker’s congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else.”


    “Politicians believe laws and rules (even the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own personal airline,” the evaluation said.

    “We have … folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc,” said one Department of Defense e-mail then.

    Another official sent an e-mail questioning a series of Pelosi’s requests for aircraft.

    “Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi’s team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?” it stated. “[T]here’s no need to block every weekend ‘just in case’…”

    The e-mail noted that the speaker’s office had “a history of canceling many of their past requests.”

    Yep and Trump wanted some other things fixed with immigration too.

    But the Demos didn't want to give up the Visa diversity lottery and the Chain Migration. Proving they didn't want comprehensive immigration reform.

    Now they don't want walls/barriers.

    Gotta understand they are desperate for voters. Felons and bringing back the dead aren't enough to give them the win to Power.

    Numerous trips were made by Speaker Pelosi between San Francisco and Andrews Air Force Base. Several of these trips included members of Speaker Pelosi’s family...https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-uncovers-new-documents-detailing-pelosis-use-of-air-force-aircraft-for-her-family-in-2010/ …

    Pelosi would demand that the Air Force not land at Travis AFB but at San Francisco International Airport and pay ridiculous high prices to refuel her Air Force Party Plane.

    What about the airmen who were part of the plane's crew ?

    Saying that Trump did a nothing burger stupid political stunt is not defending Pelosi. Not surprising you can't tell the difference.

    And damn, but you are still defending that hack McConnell 5 re-elections to office. I am for term limit. Obviously, you are not.

    Republicans were in control of both houses of Congress throughout two years of Trumpery.

    If you can provide credible evidence for fake your claim that "Republicans did not control both houses of Congress" any time in 2017/2018, please do so.

    If anyone needs to pretend that Republicans were not in control of both houses of Congress throughout the two years of Trumpery, they must also pretend that Americans did not give Democrats control of the House in November.

    The Hispanic community is beginning to catch on to DP scammers like Pelosi and Schumer.

    "You're fighting deportation," the group asked, over and over again.

    "Yes, I'm, yes, I'm," Pelosi responded.

    "You're a liar, you're a liar," protesters said, attacking her about her efforts to stop deportation.

    "It's clear you don't want any answers," Pelosi told the group. "It's clear."

    “After smiling and occasionally trying to speak through much of the protest, an aggravated Pelosi told the protesters to “just stop it, now."

    The group cut off planned speeches from DACA recipients who joined Pelosi at the event.”

    “You’ve had your say, and it’s beautiful,” Pelosi told the demonstrators at one point. But the shouting did not stop.

    The group also called Pelosi a liar.” -

    No, they don't, because that makes absolutely no sense.

    For Republicans to control both houses they must possess a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate which they haven't possessed during Trump's term in office.

    I've already explained this to you, and your Civics 101 teacher should have explained it to you in high school.
