You don't have to fly to Brussels, Egypt, or Afghanistan to get those Nancy. You can get them in your own damn office in the Capitol Building.
If he cancelled the flight(s), how did that impact security? They weren't coming!
President Trump cancelled Nancy Pelosi's government-funded trip abroad ...
Not entirely true. As The President explicitly stated, Nancy and Entourage were welcome to fly commercial.
They were just crossing the pond. Our air force cannot even cross the pond without resting ? And if she had cancelled the trip, why did she fail to tell everyone on the bus ? Unfit for speaker.
Yeah but Pelosi didn’t endanger anyone by announcing, on the same day the White House was threatened with attack, that the Secret Service and local law enforcement can’t adequately protect the president.
Screw the witch. Build the damn border wall.
She did not take the trip.
Thus, she was put in danger.
Gotchya.
This retard went full retard. Never go full retard.
Just imagine the predicament the Dems in that bus were in. Trump scored a big one, and they probably were worried that everyone would find out about the trip. So you drive the bus in circles..... oh man. Hope the NSA has the conversations. Lol.
When I run into these Pelosi type people in the business world, I just refuse to do business with them and stay clear. It is just lie on top of lie on top of lie. Unfortunately we have had a few Presidents in the past just like that. Not this time, thank god.
Trump hasn’t revoked Pelosi’s nation security clearance yet for claiming Benghazi terrorist attack was a ‘protest’ by muslims?
Fancy Nancy learned a big lesson. When Trump is quiet and not tweeting, be very afraid....
Yesterday lib media was screaming about how dare POTUS suggest Nancy fly commercial into a “war zone” and today, she is saying she had it all arranged.
These haters are dangerous
I imagine Nancy has already forgotten the entire episode
I'm not sure of the timeline but these junkets probably take a little bit of time to set up - looks like she been planning this cancel SOTU for a while.
Nancy you are the SOTU sit in your chair and STFU, no one elected you co-president.
Does she think she’s the Secretary of State too? Why is she making claims that Mike Pompeo hasn’t? What a doofus.
The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government’s position.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan’s unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was amended in 1994, changing the penalty for violation from “fined $5,000” to “fined under this title”; this appears to be the only amendment to the Act.[2] Violation of the Logan Act is a felony.
Who knew!
Do take notice that it is spokesman Drew Hammill making these statements, not Fancy Nancy herself.
Can't you read between the lines?
...to obtain the newest plans attempting to overthrow POTUS Trump in person in order to avoid being detected doing so...
