Charter Bus Full Of Democratic Congressmen Forced To Turn Around

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and a select group of congressional Democrats were boarded on a military charter bus bound for Andrews Air Force Base to catch a military charter jet to Europe were forced to turn around Thursday when President Donald Trump officially postponed the trip.

Trump sent a letter to Pelosi informing her that she would not be allowed to use military aircraft to travel due to the government shutdown and instead suggested Pelosi fly commercial. It reads:

Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate.

According to Capitol Hill reporters, the Democrats had already departed in the military charter bus for the previously unannounced trip and were forced to turn around. Reporters on the Hill noted that members were “furious” over the trip derailment.

Democratic Rep Adam Schiff was on the bus that was forced to turn around and told reporters after returning to the Capitol, “I don’t have any comment” when asked for comment on the incident.

Republican Congressman Sean Duffy tweeted, “Democrats: Get off the bus and help us secure the border!”

You might not be old enough to remember Reagan firing all the striking air traffic controllers and hiring their non-union replacements!

Balls, Ronald Reagan had some but he was only up against Speaker Tip ONeill (and of course, the ever popular anti-American media), not Pelosi and Barack Obama’s Resistance!

Chartered Bus?

BS! The one on which they were riding said AIR FORCE on the side! That bus was paid for by us! It was just their government-provided “shuttle” out to Andrews AFB! Unfortunately, the RATS “missed their connecting flight” thanks to President Trump! Just think of all the anti-American $hit the RATs don’t get to stir in Brussels, Cairo and Afghanistan!

This is Donald J. Trump. A real New Yorker with a set as big as all outdoors. This ain’t no panty waist, limp wristed latte drinking upper East Side liberal. This is the guy my old labor local got to know and admire back in the construction business in NYC in the 80’s. He’s going to twist Pelosi’s arm so far behind her it’ll come around and smack that old broad right in the face. He’s just getting started.

When I heard about this incident, I thought of Sean Connery’s line from the Untouchables. I did a little research and found out I could use the exact quote. Her maiden name was D’alessandro, which is Italian.

Jim Malone said, ” Isn’t that just like a wop? Brings a knife to a gun fight.”

Cathedral bells at that! Keep your eyes on DJT. This is the classic New York style ‘’Ya wanna play f**k around, we’’ll play f**k around!’’ I’m telling you he’s going to twist that old broad into a pretzel. And Schumer, that dirt bag Upper East Side liberal puke, he knows the score. To him Trump is every guy in high school who stuffed him into a locker and took his lunch money. He’s keeping his yap shut because he knows if he opens his trap Trump will get around to him too.

Yeah it’s not as if democrats have ever whole heartedly supported our troops. How long does it take before they call our soldiers nazis?

And what’s with secret missions of only Democrats? Did they think it’s another Puerto Rican junket?

Indeed. The Oval Office must be a din of clanking when the POTUS walks around. He makes Obama’s tour of office look like the pussy-footed, Carteresque failure it was.

Daily Caller, there is no Democratic Party. I know of a Democrat Party. Daily Caller should, too.

These damn commie fags get elected and head off to foreign countries to party. They sure don’t leave much doubt that they really hate America and Americans.

Lol, Nancy is a multi millionaire! I’m very sure she can foot the entire bill for her luxury trip for everyone and it wouldn’t make a dent in her purse!

ROTFLMAO!

Remember it was just a few weeks ago that she had a thought that "As Speaker of the House, I am equal to the President! "

It's kinda like a 3 stripe Sargeant saying that he's equal to a General. You never know the stupidity and lies these liars will invent next.
