MAGA!

Saturday was National Popcorn Day, but I’ve been nibbling on popcorn all week as Nancy Pelosi learned a lesson about presidential power and the media was gut checked by the special prosecutor. I haven’t had this much fun since election night 2016.
While she might have thought otherwise, the power of the commander-in-chief is far greater than that of the speaker of the House, and the humiliating way this was brought home to the congressional equivalent of Maerose Prizzi (h/t Michael Walsh) was something. She anticipated that she and her posse of cronies and their families (reports of a ninety-some entourage in all) would hop a military plane for a free trip to Brussels, Afghanistan, and Egypt, doubtless with fawning media coverage, leaving the president to sit alone in the White House hoping fruitlessly they’d toddle in there to negotiate an end to the shutdown. Reports vary as to whether she was on the tarmac or on her way there when the president cancelled the flight as incompatible during a shutdown when federal workers were not being paid and illegal aliens were continuing to invade.
The president twisted the knife, suggesting she was free to fly commercial, which served as a reminder of the enormous tab she ran up on such flights the last time she was speaker. She thought she had the upper hand in this. She learned she certainly didn’t, and was last seen at Reagan Airport, with one aide and a single security agent, heading out of town to somewhere on a commercial flight. The president cancelled his own trip to Davos and required other similar travel on military airplanes be made only at the approval of the secretary of defense until there is a budget he can sign that provides for a secure border barrier.

Clarice Ping!
MAGA!
So...the Queen, was going to take “90 some “friends and family” into a combat zone. Probably wanted them to collect combat pay.
She has become a political road block.
Wonder if Prez Trump thought she would do this... then eventually he can go on national TV and honestly say that he has tried to get the Dems to the table, but they refuse everything...so his next step is to close the border and declare a National Emergency and get the Military/Corps of Engineers to build that wall?
Absolutely...The cabal in the FBI and DOJ plus most Democrats have been out in force to get him since before he was elected and they haven’t touched him.
MAGA for sure!
Mexico - the true enemy... not syria, not afghan, not iraq...
close the border
tax all remittances
So where is Pelosi?!
“And families”??????? Really?
I believe I read yesterday that she flew home.
Where her arms tired?
Support Free Republic, Folks!
A Republican who fights back instead of cowering with urine stained underwear. The Democrats have never encountered this and are obviously confused as to how to deal with it.
Nancy and her collection of leftist thugs are bullies and like most bullies are stunned when their victims don’t allow themselves to be victims.
Most Republicans consider it much more dignified to bend over and grab their ankles. The Never Trumpers are mortified that a Republican would ever rub a Democrats face in the feces that they throw at Republicans.
Yes really. 7 congress member and 93 family members. The very same day that the terrorist was going to use a rocket launcher on the white house. Wondering how many people were scheduled out through the 17th? I know that I heard McConnell canceled the recess for a week.
So where did Pelosi eventually turn up? Back in her poop ridden city?
Time for the dims to remove her from her position and elect a more reasonable person.
Otherwise the dim party is suicidal.
I’ve heard buzzards wings don’t tire. :^)
When was this and how is this not breaking news?
Can you even believe our good fortune to alive to witness these historical times!?
These times will be remembered a hundred, two hundred, years from now, and we get to say ‘I was there’.
“was going to take “90 some “friends and family””
Wow! Sounds expensive. Were we taxpayers going to pay for it?
If she flew commercial would we still pick up the tag?
