Pelosi, other US lawmakers arrive in Jordan for meetings on Syria

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.”

Now Pelosi is going to make foreign policy? Not.

Why not? They seem to be running over the Republicans and Trump like a steam roller. America is no longer a lawful and subject to Constitutional law Country. We have lost a lot and it will get worst. We are not fighting hard or smart enough.

The Jordanians view women below horses and donkeys. Major fail that why Condi Rice didn’t have traction in the area. Never send a woman to tell a Arab male to do anything.

They just got back from a long break several days ago, and now they are on a junket. No wonder nothing ever gets done in Congress!

“”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?””

I’ve always had a great deal of respect for the King of Jordan but I am becoming more and more disappointed in those I’ve admired for a long time. This entire debacle in DC has made us all skeptical and jaded. I don’t know for sure if I’m speaking for anyone but myself but I would say probably.

So that’s why she stormed out of the White House meeting the other day, it takes quite a while to pack all those potions and lotions the soon to be octogenarian needs for the trip.

Nan is always in Syria and Jordan. She probably owns a timeshare in Damascus.

POTUS Pelosi has already deemed Trump and Pence to be impeached. Therefore, she’s POTUS.

What in the hell does Pelosi know about what is going on over there? Shed doesn’t have a clue what is going on in America!

Considering how they undermine us at home, this is unacceptable.

Why would the King of Jordan waste time on an addled old woman who’s over there to sabotage Trump’s foreign policy?

It’s a pattern for Pelosi to go overseas to undermine the sitting President’s foreign policy - the narrative she helped create by this previous action probably contributed to creating the current situation in Syria: https://youtu.be/uGU0bE4GKVY?t=9

Like Kerry did during Vietnam and never got charged. Or McCain either.
