RUSH: Well, look at this. From Fox News. “President Trump today –” ha-ha-ha. You’re gonna love this. You are going to love this. President Trump today appeared to deny military aircraft to House speaker Nancy Pelosi for an upcoming foreign trip. This in response to her call to the latest State of the Union address amid the government shutdown.
“In a stinging and curt letter to Pelosi Trump said that her trip has been postponed. He wrote, ‘Due to the shutdown, I’m sorry to inform you 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’m sure you would agree that postponing this PR event of yours is totally appropriate. I also feel that during this period it’d be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the strong border security movement to end the shutdown. Obviously, if you’d like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.’” That’s Trump’s letter to Pelos
See, folks, do you think Romney would ever send a letter like that? (laughing) McCain? Kasich? No way. You know what they would do? “Despite the fact that you have canceled my State of the Union, I want to show the country that we are reasonable people. And if you want to fly to those three places, we will gladly furnish you military aircraft.” And Pelosi would just say they just got suckered into letting me have what I want again. And they think they’re gonna be able to buy respect with this but they’re just a bunch of idiots and buffoons and they prove it every day.
And Trump says, sorry, you have to postpone your trip.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, folks, the Trump letter to Pelosi is legit. It is real. Trump denied her military aircraft to go on her seven-day trip to Brussels and Afghanistan and Egypt. Here’s the kicker. She was to leave today. And I think Fox News is covering this near the buses where Pelosi’s entourage was supposed to leave and head to the airport.
That letter I read is legit. He’s postponing her trip, sure she understands, government shutdown and so forth, she should stay in town to negotiate. There’s not a single other Republican with the gonads to even get close to doing this. It’s the real thing.
“None dare call it “junket.””
And the swine just got back from a junket to Puerto Rico.
What you said should be true, but might not be. Consider how the Brits turned Winston Churchill out right after the end of WWII, which he led them through. Gratitude and politics don’t always go together.
She can take her broom.
Pelosi Galore!
Ha!!...Love it!!
Good for Mike. Despite his flaws - I’ve always liked him.
Trump is AWESOME!
“
Trump is a liar. Look at that letter: Right off the top he calls her “honorable”. Please”
And with addressing Pelosi as “Dear Madam Speaker” he assumed her gender! LOL
He should start addressing her as “Dear Xir Speaker’ and when they try to call him on it he shoukd respond “Speaker Pelosi has reached the age where it sometimes is hard to tell and I don’t want to assume and be offensive.” What a troll that would be.
Politics isn't beanbag so who cares? The more that President Trump kicks Pelosi’s teeth in the better it is for him politically. The Uniparty has falsely convinced so many Americans that politics is supposed to be polite and they use the cover of civility and compromise to shaft the American people. Enough is enough.
Sorry for the second post. How many Repubs were on that trip? If there were any, why. With the government partially shut down, no congress critter should be going anywhere. Where is McCarthy and why isn’t he telling Repubs to stay put and not go anywhere. Once again, we have a total lack of backbone and leadership in Congressional Republicans. The only Repub leader is Trump.
This old airport's got me down - it's no earthly good to me And I'm stuck here on the ground as cold and drunk as I can be You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train So, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train So, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
He can start laying of furloughed workers on Monday.
I love his sense of humor.
An appropriate move, and a sly move on the part of our President. I’d say he cut short a trip by Democrat leaders, a back stabbing trip for the purpose of reestablishing the Democrats credibility in foreign affairs America be damned.
They will have to be watched closely as they are devious, lying, back stabbing anti-American, and hungry for the power they were within nano seconds of obtaining two years ago.
#14. Several things. The Democrats, in reply to your comment, said, “Don’t touch my junk”.
Trump to Pelosi: “Nancy, you’re grounded”!
Calling Nancy Pelosi: “The auto-shop called: Your broom is fixed and ready for pick up”.
Calling Rep. Schiff: If you want to get to Europe, we have good news for you. The Mother Ship has arrived to pick you up”.
Schiff, more good news: “Louis Farrakhan” is your travelling partner. He’s an expert on “Mother Ships”.
On the other hand, it could have been another Ron Brown “special” flight but you hate like all hell to lose a USAF crew and airplane.
Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
‘Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
