Saturday was National Popcorn Day, but I’ve been nibbling on popcorn all week as Nancy Pelosi learned a lesson about presidential power and the media was gut checked by the special prosecutor. I haven’t had this much fun since election night 2016.
While she might have thought otherwise, the power of the commander-in-chief is far greater than that of the speaker of the House, and the humiliating way this was brought home to the congressional equivalent of Maerose Prizzi (h/t Michael Walsh) was something. She anticipated that she and her posse of cronies and their families (reports of a ninety-some entourage in all) would hop a military plane for a free trip to Brussels, Afghanistan, and Egypt, doubtless with fawning media coverage, leaving the president to sit alone in the White House hoping fruitlessly they’d toddle in there to negotiate an end to the shutdown. Reports vary as to whether she was on the tarmac or on her way there when the president cancelled the flight as incompatible during a shutdown when federal workers were not being paid and illegal aliens were continuing to invade.
The president twisted the knife, suggesting she was free to fly commercial, which served as a reminder of the enormous tab she ran up on such flights the last time she was speaker. She thought she had the upper hand in this. She learned she certainly didn’t, and was last seen at Reagan Airport, with one aide and a single security agent, heading out of town to somewhere on a commercial flight. The president cancelled his own trip to Davos and required other similar travel on military airplanes be made only at the approval of the secretary of defense until there is a budget he can sign that provides for a secure border barrier.

LOL!!!!
NO ONE has EVER stood up that Bitch.....thank you, President Trump!
“Geesh….of COURSE we would pay for this...”
All of the expenses, not just the plane ride? I’d like to see an estimate of the bill. And a bunch of family members?
She never left the country though or did she? I still never heard where she ended up. Also didnt read about Brazille calling Pelosi president. Something evil is afoot for sure.
She went home to CA.
thanks, upchuck
Trump, with a wink, endorses Pelosi for House speaker https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/07/trump-pelosi-house-speaker-970673
Trump again offers GOP votes to make Pelosi speaker. This time it doesn’t sound like he’s joking.

POTUS IS THE TROLL IN CHIEF!!!
“the Queen, was going to take “90 some ‘friends and family’ into a combat zone.”>>>>
I am sure that Pelosi also has alienated the socialists wing of the Dem party, by having 90 friends and family on the flight. Pelosi has denied the left any connection with purse string committees, and then boondoggles huge money for this family and friends flight.
I am sure Ocassional Cortex will be using her oversized incisors to chew on Nancifer’s ankles, hopefully in public.
