House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other U.S. lawmakers announced late Saturday U.S. time that they had arrived in Jordan for meetings with King Abdullah II and other officials regarding the situation in Syria.

Although touted as a "bipartisan" delegation, the group includes just one Republican -- Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas, ranking member of the House Armed Services Commitee. Thornberry is among a group of Texas Republicans who've announced they won't seek reelection in 2020.

REP. PAUL GOSAR: TRUMP WAS RIGHT TO WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM SYRIA -- WE SHOULD PROTECT US BORDERS INSTEAD

“Our bipartisan delegation is visiting Jordan at a critical time for the security and stability of the region,” Pelosi said in a statement. “With the deepening crisis in Syria after Turkey’s incursion, our delegation has engaged in vital discussions about the impact to regional stability, increased flow of refugees, and the dangerous opening that has been provided to ISIS, Iran and Russia.”

Are they talking to other countries? Isn’t that against the law?

“”With the deepening crisis in Syria after Turkey’s incursion, our delegation has engaged in vital discussions about the impact to regional stability, increased flow of refugees, and the dangerous opening that has been provided to ISIS, Iran and Russia.””

Exactly why American citizens voted for you, Nancy. Keep it up - you’re doing a super, duper job! May want to take a jaunt over to the Syrian/Turkey border while you’re in town. Maybe the King of Jordan could offer you a lift in his helicopter and DROP you in for an unexpected close up visit...It would sure MAKE OUR DAY!

Time for Nancy’s catering, trip logs, and booze expenses to get a bit of attention. Last go around it was outrageous. I’m sure she’s worse now.

I’m thinking Nancy is one of the people Barr is investigating

As a gesture of trust to the peace loving people living in the Middle East... they should leave their security detail behind when they drive out to visit the people living in areas that they are so concerned about.

Hmmm. She threatened to “just watch what we will do” when she huffed and puffed out of that meeting. This must be the start of it. Too bad the plane wasn’t grounded. Can she go meet with anyone she wants, without the president’s approval?

Russia's entire economy is roughly that of the state of Texas. We need to stop giving the CIA something to do since the collapse of the Soviet Union. There are no Russians in our Diebold machines or inside Tulsi Gabbard' s bikini top.

The entire U.S. intelligence cabal needs to be repurposed, defunded, and distilled down something besides a strong arm for political ambitions.

This crap needs to stop! Trump should publicly call her out on this. She should now be labeled as the leader of the coup.

A third rate American politician sitting with a very smart first rate king. Not sure how that happens? Unless she bribing him with weapons contracts?

A very solid case can be made for Trump to go to the FISA court requesting surveillance of the Speaker and her entourage for foreign interference in official U.S. international affairs.

Ain't Karma a bitch?

Imam of Peace claims Qatar is funding a lot of Dems and has enormous influence. Could be this is an exchange of money through a conduit.

I suspect King Abdullah will get a good laugh out of this in his next conversation with President Trump. That guys is no pushover.

There are plenty of clown regimes around that region to play as pawns. King Abdullah however is not one of them.

They picked Jordan for this because it's the only decent safe place in the region besides Israel. A congressional delegation is too scared to go somewhere we have been mucking up for the past 25 years.
