Confused Democrat lawmakers were left sitting idle on a military bus near the Capitol after President Donald Trump postponed their seven-day foreign trip as the partial government shutdown continues.
Photos shared to social media purport to show Democrats on a U.S. Air Force bus traveling to the airport when they received word that their access to a military plane had been blocked:
...
House Members sitting on an Air Force bus b/t the Longworth and Rayburn House Office Buildings waiting to see if they are still going overseas after Trump cancelled the trip.
...
The bus went around the block and back to the Capitol where members eventually got off.
...
Bus circled around and dropped lawmakers off at Capitol. Rep Adam Schiff came off I dont have any comment
...
(Many twitter pictures and videos)

FNC said some Congressmen stayed on the bus for an hour while the van was parked because they didn’t believe the trip was cancelled. LOL
It just gets better and better! :)
Shopping, most likely.
You’d have never heard about their little European Vacation during a purported shutdown Crisis, had he not done this. Certainly, not from the press. Maybe Nancy could have stood in front of the NATO Headquarters and talked about the Bad Orange Man.
I saw first hand what I considered FW&A in the .mil, the “congressional junkets” always seemed to include everybody’s spouse & a brigade of straphangers. One episode we had to dedicate an entire CH47 helicopter that I know of, to transport all their shopping goodies & furniture alone, bedroom sets and all kinds of stuff they bought overseas. The public has no idea.
The government pays probably $4 a gallon for JP8 if they are lucky, a single Black Hawk alone costs about $1400 to fill up, that gives maybe 3 hours flight time, and we’d line up 7 or 8 of them etc etc.. I don’t know the burn rate for a CH47 but it’s a lot.
Note the president didn’t cancel, they can fly commercial there if they want. And ship their goodies home on their own dime.
Biggest goddamn bunch of crooks, and their enablers in the Press, it’s just absolutely unreal.
The optics: The dems who were on this bus prove they don’t care about resolving the government shutdown or the people caught up in it.
How does Trump time it perfectly?
He has to have a Russian insider.
Brilliant move by Trump.
Stuck on a bus? Is that like being stuck on an escalator?
I love it!
He waited until they were loaded up and liquored up to cancel it.
Rush made a good point today.
Name another Republican who would have the stones to do this.
MAGA big time. Shut down these greedy “public servants”.
San Fran Nan Travel Ban!
Photo op or photo oops?!
Wish he would have ordered the plane to wait on the tarmac for a couple hours before he cancelled
POTUS, Donald J. Trump.....You Da Man!!! God bless you and all your family and supporters. Never give in to the Democrat Party human scum & vermin.....Bravo!!!
