BREAKING NEWS: Nancy Pelosi says Trump is accused by his own State Department of putting lives of members of Congress and U.S. TROOPS at risk by revealing her plans to lead delegation to Afghanistan when he canceled military jet
President Trump cancelled Nancy Pelosi's government-funded trip abroad

Trump informed Pelosi via a letter that the White House shared publicly that he was postponing her visit to Afghanistan on Thursday
White House said he took 'immediate' action to call off her trip
Was not clear how much lead time he gave Pelosi on the order beforehand

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff was among the lawmakers seen on the bus leaving for the CoDel with Pelosi
Her spokesman said that the trip to Afghanistan 'included a required stop in Brussels for pilot rest' and Pelosi planned to meet with NATO commanders 'The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation & thanks to our men & women in uniform...& to obtain critical national security & intelligence briefings' White House press secretary said: 'We want to keep her in Washington' 'If she leaves, she guarantees that the second round of paychecks to 800,000 federal workers won't go out,' Sarah Sanders explained

Uh.....someone should whisper to her that he doesn’t have his own State Department.
I hope he shitcans the lot of them.
.... the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines ....
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
BS to flying commercially & “vital” meeting with troops. They were going to stab him in the back with the NATO folks & try to undermine him as CIC with the troops. Nasty Nan doesn’t realize yet who she’s picked a fight with. Trump has nothing to lose - he’ll be impeached by the crazy Dems regardless of what he does.
Go to hell. No risk if you don’t go.And you aint going honey. Sit DOWN SHUT UP!! What a pathetic ploy.
‘The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation & thanks to our men & women in uniform............................
She should go to the southern border and thank the Border Patrol Agents who are working without pay due to her refusal to do her job.
and Trump shutting down this excursion will make her freak out even more - brilliant.
Not his state department. Obama holdovers in the dept.
Sounds like there might be some State Department holdovers that need to be let go.
There was a quote in the article that they were prepared to fly commercially. I kid you not. To Afghanistan no less.
“We can only wish Trump released her “plans” to put them in “danger”.”
I’d call that a two’fer.
How did the letter sent to Nancy hit the News ?
Her security? Selfish porkface. How about OUR security? Build the wall.
picking up chocolate in Belgium, maybe..?
She did it once before, diverted her yuuuuuge plane maybe 1,000 miles to do it, too.
I was scratching my head about that pilot rest thing yesterday
And then we’re supposed to believe these self-entitled anarchists were going to take a commercial flight into Afghanistan, on their dime?
Pelosi is lying out of her ass again. (with as many lifts as she’s had, that would be the back of her neck)
How can announcing a non-trip be dangerous? DUH
Why land at Brussels at all? Why not land at a US military base? Cheaper for us rather than paying landing fees to EU. Let’s be honest it was a boondoggle made to look like a trip to visit the troops. Oh what troops do we have stationed in Egypt?
Since President Trump grounded Nancy, nobody was ever in any risk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
President Trump just saved her life. What if she would have been caught in sniper fire like Hillary did?
Just keep talking, Nancy. Never stop.
Would have loved to be a fly on the wall as the Dems went nuts...would have also loved to be part of the air crew - would have cracked my face wide open with the biggest grin ever....
The state department has been full of Communists since Joe McCarthy’s investigation was blocked by the lying press.
