WTF kind of government do we have? It’s embarrassing. This is not how it was supposed to be nor how it was designed.

It’s interesting to note that I read this trip of hers hadn’t been previously publicized anywhere. I wonder when President Trump first found out about it. Either he knew, and waited until the day of the trip to cancel it, or somebody tipped him off today, and he canceled the trip an hour before they were supposed to leave.

Good point. I got the historical reference.

Wow, pushing the vote button must be exhausting! No re-vote until next week?!
I don’t care which party is in control, a one-day commemoration does not rate a week-long recess.

Probably at the Capitol Hill pharmacy, stocking up on her Botox and Alzheimer's meds before heading overseas for seven days.

"Chaos briefly broke out on the floor of the House Thursday as Republicans accused Democrats of trying to pull a fast one with a hasty vote to end the partial shutdown. "

My guess: “...or somebody tipped him off today, and he canceled the trip an hour before they were supposed to leave.”

On the contrary, this is exactly how it is supposed to be. It was explicitly designed so that no one man, faction, or cabal could run things. Arguments and conflict are an essential aspect of the government of a free people. Governments run quietly and smoothly only in tyrannies.

Forget the shutdown; the Democrats are fully on record as enthusiastically supporting open borders and no limits on aliens entering the country. That’s what’s got them worried (in my opinion).

Why wasn't Pelosi there in charge? Was she out for a Botox treatment? I wish someone would slip some Bengay in the preparation. She had to be dipped in an ice water bath before she blew out a temporal artery. I think the beet red face and profuse sweating was the giveaway. Probably had to do the same thing for Adam Schitt. 'Ole bug eyes.

I only see him through his twitter feed, and not TV, Don’t even know what he looks like.
He’s usually in the House giving first-hand reports, talking to people. I find that useful.
Sometimes he follows the media ‘lead’ on an issue. Which isn’t useful. “Just the facts, please.” is my motto.

So were they trying to over ride the POTUS veto with 2/3 of the House?

I wasn’t going to say this, but I don’t think he is a President Trump supporter. I may be wrong.

The difference is that if Trump let her go, he would
have used THAT to his advantage also.
