RUSH: I thought one of the greatest things on Friday (laughing), Trump cancels Pelosi’s trip one hour from her slated departure. The buses are there at the Capitol. (laughing)
Pelosi’s never taken a trip to visit the troops in her entire career. Did you know that? She has never once done it. Why now? Anyway, Trump canceled because of the government shutdown. “You shouldn’t be leaving here.” So he canceled her trip. He said, “Fly commercial, baby.” Pelosi said, “Well, now that you’ve publicized our trip we can’t fly commercially and fly safely.” So she had to cancel it. That was a great, great moment.
I’ve noticed all the impeachment talk has been stalled and eclipsed by the fed gov closure.
“Would it be safe to guess that Pelosi’s travel has cost the taxpayer at least a Million or two dollars over time?”
Well, the last time she was Speaker, she demanded, and got, a 757 to fly her back and forth to San Francisco on the ruse that the 737 that Hastert was using “didn’t have enough range to make the trip w/o a refueling stop, which was a lie! She used that larger a/c to party back and forth with a bunch of her cronies and her family, all on our dime. She is a hateful, worthless tw@t!
She was going to Brussels to foment a coup.
“Pelosi’s never taken a trip to visit the troops in her entire career. Did you know that? She has never once done it. Why now?”
While this trip was surely a photo-op junket and likely the week long trip would have involved only a few hours on the ground in Afghanistan, Rush should be more careful when making statements such as this without fact checking. Pelosi made a trip to Afghanistan in 2011, stories indicate she was more interested in visiting locals there but she did meet with military personnel:
This was a trip in March 2011, a Washington Post article on the same trip mentions it was her first visit there since the prior May. Behind paywall so didn’t check it.
Bottom line - criticize the current situation and only assert as facts that which has been verified.
Yep...That’s also why the 1st stop was to be Brussels, home of the EU...She wanted to gather the EU and the Middle East together with her cohorts against President Trump....
I don’t know about that...Sean Hannity just said the word “impeach” or “impeachment” was used over 200 times in the orgasmic reporting of the phony “buzzfeed” story the past few days...
Rush was wrong then.
Have you seen the list of liquor she has gone thru just on the airplane trips? ! Just WOW!
She could have opened a bar.... Oh wait she did! A flying bar.
why was Pelosi flying children and grandchildren into a ‘war’ zone?
Doesn't she love her children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren ??

Pelosi’s never taken a trip to visit the troops in her entire career. Did you know that? Because she w as nts to tell yhe troops they are deplorable and should hate Trump.
President Trump cancelled her trip. Did you miss that?
I am guessing they would have stayed at some European 5 star hotel on our dime while San Fran Nan visited the troops.
The Pelosi Plot: House Resolution 1 — Enforce Federal Control Over State Elections
citizenfreepress.com/ ^ | 1/15/19 | J. Christian Adams /FR Posted by a little elbow grease
If you thought the midterm elections had problems, wait until you learn about Nancy Pelosi’s plan to terminate state control over American elections. Democrats in Congress have announced their top legislative priority, and it isn’t health care, immigration, or taxes. Instead, they want to centralize power over elections in Washington, D.C. H.R. 1 is number one on the legislative agenda because it is the number one priority of House Democrats, leftist groups, deep-pocketed dark money, and those who use election process rules to help win elections — or at least to cause chaos.
The bill is a 571-page dreamscape of wild wishes and federal mandates on states.H.R. 1 has 218 cosponsors. It forces states to implement mandatory voter registration. If someone is on a government list — such as receiving welfare benefits or rental subsidies — then they would be automatically registered to vote. Few states have enacted these systems because Americans still view civic participation as a voluntary choice. Moreover, aggregated government lists always contain duplicates and errors that states, even without mandatory voter registration, frequently fail to catch and fix.
H.R. 1 also mandates that states allow all felons to vote. Currently, states have the power under the Constitution to set the terms of eligibility in each state. Some states, like Maine, have decided that voting machines should be rolled into the prisons. Other states, like Nevada, have chosen to make a felony a disenfranchising event. H.R. 1 also undermines the First Amendment by exerting government control over political speech and undoing the Supreme Court’s Citizen’s United decision.

I consider Trump’s cancellation of Pelosi’s trip a late Christmas present...which made me very happy.
She had 106 people in that group——INCLUDING ALL of her family & grandchildren.
How safe was it to take those kids into a combat zone?
THAT IS IMMORAL, Nasty.
IF I were in charge, I would have put them ALL on the NO FLY LIST & frozen their passports.
the definitive verb in my query was ‘was’
