President Trump Canceled Nancy Pelosi's Trip to Afghanistan Over the Shutdown Fight
 
Quote:
One day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi essentially disinvited President Trump from delivering his State of the Union in the U.S. Capitol, he responded by informing her he would cancel the private government plane she was using for her trip overseas because of the partial government shutdown.

“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,” he wrote in a letter to Pelosi which communications staffers promptly circulated on Twitter. “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.”

Pelosi’s office had not publicly announced that trip, which is standard procedure for lawmakers and public figures flying to conflict zones. A bus holding the Congressional lawmakers scheduled to attend the trip was outside the Capitol Thursday afternoon.

Pelosi deputy chief of staff and spokesman Drew Hammill wrote on Twitter that the trip included a stop in Brussels to meet with NATO officials and did not include a stop in Egypt.

“The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation and thanks to our men and women in uniform for their service and dedication and to obtain critical narional security and intelligence from those on the front lines,” Hammill wrote. He also noted that Trump himself had taken a trip to Iraq during the shutdown.

The President does have the authority to ground military planes, which is why he noted in the letter that she was welcome to fly a commercial airline.

Pelosi had sent Trump a letter Wednesday morning telling him that the State of the Union, which he has been slated to deliver on Jan. 29, should be either provided to Congress in writing or postponed until the government is re-opened because the workers implementing the tight security would be doing so without pay. (The State of the Union is a National Special Security Event requiring the “full resources” of the federal government).

“The U.S. Secret Service was designated as the lead federal agency responsible for coordinating planning exercising and implementing security for [NSSE],” Pelosi wrote. “However, both the U.S. Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now – with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs.”

As of this morning, she had said she had not heard from the White House.

Trump’s decision was immediately greeted with skepticism by one member of his own party. “One sophomoric response does not deserve another,” said South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. “Speaker Pelosi’s threat to cancel the State of the Union is very irresponsible and blatantly political. President Trump denying Speaker Pelosi military travel to visit our troops in Afghanistan, our allies in Egypt and NATO is also inappropriate.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, who was slated to go on the trip, emerged from Pelosi’s office late Thursday afternoon, telling reporters the President’s decision was “completely and utterly irresponsible.”

He also noted that, while the President was condemning Pelosi for traveling during the shutdown, he had no problem sending a delegation to Davos.
Make no mistake. This is a temper tantrum.

Just re-pass the budget prohibiting any funds from being spent on golfing.

Good, fuck pelosi. Maybe next time she passes immigration bill, she'll ensure it passes the senate instead of being a token gesture she already knew would fail.

You’re ridiculous. Trump couldn’t even get his servient majorities in congress to trade the wall for dreamers.

Trump was never trying to trade wall for dreamers. Notice how its only yes-men trying to do the trade meanwhile Trump flip flops to bait and switch.

Wow so many people are getting it confused here.
For you confuseds in the thread let me clarify.

In general when you are trying to pass legislation, you try and get legislation pre-approved in the other chamber. You work with the other side to secure votes, and you dare them to vote against their own interests.

Somehow it seems only the republicans are able to dare democrats not to vote.

That does not mean the republican speaker also leads the senate like you mistakenly believe. Don't worry, even great ones like myself make mistakes too.

I have never gotten pissed off for not taking the bait, that is just plain false.
I certainly in the past have gotten frustrated, but that was before I was first to catch onto what was going on.

Now, the longer time goes on the higher the rewards. Simple as that.

House democrats have literally been passing funding bills for the past two weeks to reopen the government. Republicans in the senate are unable to get Mitch McConnell to bring those for a vote.

What are you talking about?

So you don't understand, okay, I will explain it again. Its fine.

House democrats are wasting their time passing useless bills that only serve to kick the can forward. Action needs to happen and in those bills they ought to include the border security democrats offered and then dare the republicans to vote against it. Sneak in a path to citizenship for the Dreamer population and I promise you will peel away the republican base from their hidey holes.

Its the fastest way to clear out the shutdown, and it reaffirms the message that it is a trump shutdown cause hey they gave him border security for a minor concession but WOAH trump didnt accept it!

Clearly most dreamers in here are at least 2x more intelligent than congressmen. Even our idiots like Got_DACA could probably out think them.

Pelosi is just another hillary level speedbump on our highway to the america dream. She refuses to negotiate and sticks to the tired old tale of not one dollar for a wall. She and trump are problems for this nation. Many of the other dems didnt even want her as speaker again.

I know its negotiation, but career politicians like her took a great nation and sunk it HARD.
