    The GOP didn't have a super majority in the Senate, like the Dems under Obama. You do realize the power of the filibuster in the Senate....right?

    Yet Trump did RC.....the Disrespect is what got the Demos all in one of their tiffies. Plus they don't like being outdone with tactics they like to use.

    Well you would be wrong. As I stated several times over the years at this forum and others that I am for term limits. Plus no life time appointment for Judges. Wherein I even think they need to be psych evaluated every 2 years when over 65.

    Trump released the letter, you do know that right, Trump leaked it

    he said no military travel, but she could go commercial, thus announcing she may go commercial, that letter never should of been released publicly

    Yup.

    Just saw how the view spun it.

    They made it sound like the troops were really looking forward to visiting with them. (yeah right), then said the air traffic controllers nation wide should all stay home.

    Lol at those miserable hens.

    You appear to be in denial. All credible records confirm that the Republican Party controlled both houses of Congress in 2017 and 2018.
    Republicans remained in control of both house of Congress throughout 2017 and 2018.

    The Republican leadership gave Trump's $5.7 billion "big, beautiful wall!" fantasy that he had repeatedly promised Mexico would pay for very low priority throughout their 2 years in control of both houses of Congress, repeatedly hosing Trump as if they were Trump®U recruiter conmen and he a hapless stooge, and never bringing his silly waste of Americans' money to a vote.

    Right wing source:

    Democrats, now in control of the House, are perpetuating the Republicans' two year policy of not giving Trump the $5.7 billion of US taxpayer money for his "big, beautiful wall" that he had repeately promised Mexico would pay for.

    The slim chances of repealing the Affordable Care Act did not prevent Republicans in the House from voting for it over fifty times until - after years of vowing to do so - they were actually given that power and failed.

    Throughout two years of Republicans controlling both houses of Congress they gave Trump's boondoggle tepid lip service, low priority, and never tried to pass funding (with $5.7 billion of US taxpayer money) for his "big, beautiful wall" that he repeatedly promised Mexico would pay for.

    Most Americans, by a considerable margin, do not want it built.
    The GOP's refusal to give Trump his big, beautiful wall that he repeatedly promised Mexico would pay for has diverted this thread's topic. Sorry!

    That's just another example of why leftists need some credible links and some reliable evidence whenever they make their unfounded claims. Pelosi always needs proof of her claims. She's been able to lie and get away with it for too long.

    Commercial flights leave on different days at different times.

    And she can still send a video to the troops, with her and Adam Schiff, thanking them and congratulating them for their fine work. Maybe she can use the same video to thank the security workers at the southern border also. A twofer.

    Show us when the GOP possessed a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate at any point during Trump's term in office.

    You can't.

    Not true.

    Republicans alerted him to Schumer's scam.

    Schumer is a crooked weasel.

    junket

    Also found in: Thesaurus, Wikipedia.
    jun·ket
    (jŭng′kĭt)
    n.
    1. A trip or tour, especially:
    a. One taken by an official at public expense.
    b. One taken by a person who is the guest of a business or agency seeking favor or patronage.
    2. A party, banquet, or outing.
    3. A dessert made from flavored milk and rennet.
    intr.v. jun·ket·ed, jun·ket·ing, jun·kets
    To go on a junket.

    jun′ket·er n.
    Word History: In medieval times, soft cheeses and similar foods made from milk and cream were prepared in basketsor on mats woven from grasslike plants called rushes. These baskets or mats would have allowed excess liquid todrain away while protecting the mass of coagulated milk or cream from breaking apart. Junket originally meant "rushbasket, especially one for carrying fish," and is ultimately derived from the Latin word junca, "rush." Since delicatedishes of cream or milk could be served in these rush baskets or on these mats, junket became the name for thedishes themselves.

    By the early 1500s, the word had come to refer to an occasion at which a junket might be serveda banquet, feast, or bout of merrymaking in general. Then, during the 1800s in the United States, it developed themeaning "picnic, pleasure excursion with eating and drinking."

    Americans began to use the word junket especially oftrips taken by officials at public expense, ostensibly for factfinding or diplomatic purposes but really just for theofficials' own enjoyment.

    Junket
    also came to refer to trips taken by politicians or other influential persons as guestsof a business or organization seeking favors—a bribe in the form of cruise tickets.
