President Trump clips Pelosi's wings!


LOL!

I think his decision to deny Government transportation for her publicity tour overseas was the right thing to do!

So Pelosi has been GROUNDED! LOL!

Enjoy commercial air travel!

That was great too. Supposedly just before her flight (today at 3). Nancy likes to fly Airforce planes, with crews, fuel, food, booze, accommodations for her friends etc, all paid by US. 2 years ago there was a $101,000 bill just for booze! Trump smacked her upside her uguly puss.

Mr.Trump has a strange signature, don't you think ?...

His "T" isn't crossed, & it looks like there's 3 x A's running through it...( Check out D-for Donald, T-for Trump, & P-for the final letter in Trump ).

As for Nancy, I'm sure she'll remember this episode, & likely do the same or worse to the Republican's when she's president herself, in 2020...

TAXPAYERS' $101,000 INCLUDES PELOSI'S IN-FLIGHT 'FOOD, BOOZE'

Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else'

Published: 01/29/2010 at 12:20 AM

Part of the tab for alcoholic drinks on a congressional trip arranged by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Makers Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Baileys Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey and Corona beer.

But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for in-flight services including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosis trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. Thats almost $1,000 per week.

Fed up with the condescending clowns in Congress? Send them a pink slip!

Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.

Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. And these documents suggest the Speakers congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else.

Pelosi, D-Calif., recently joined President Obama on a Judicial Watch list of Top 10 corrupt politicians because of her sense of entitlement, the group said.

Politicians believe laws and rules (even the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own personal airline, the evaluation said.

 

And WND reported almost a year ago that Pelosi was shown to have been erratically canceling and rescheduling flights, as one would with an on-call taxi service.

 

Do the tone-deaf lawmakers in D.C. make your blood boil? Read all about Washington and its politics of corruption in Breach of Trust.

We have folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc, said one Department of Defense e-mail then.

Another official sent an e-mail questioning a series of Pelosis requests for aircraft.

Any chance of politely querying [Pelosis team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend? it stated. [T]heres no need to block every weekend just in case

The e-mail noted that the speakers office had a history of canceling many of their past requests.

Yet another e-mail exchange at that time revealed Pelosis demand that jets pick her up at Travis Air Force Base rather than San Franciscos airport.

She lives about 1.5 hours from SFO and much closer to Travis. Whether it is the best use of assets is not the question. But instead is it worth upsetting the speaker.

Said another, This is a battle that we are bound to lose if we tell the speaker(s) office. In the end, this is what will happen. I wish that I could say this is a one-time request, but we know it will probably happen again in the future.

 

Yet another indicated a deep level of frustration:

Here is the laydown: there are five G5s. Two are broke. Two off on CODELS. One slated for priority White House we should keep on G-III for now for Tuesday afternoon and start sacrificing goats and chickens.

Judicial Watch said the newly obtained 2,000 pages of documentation show Pelosis military travel cost the U.S. Air Force $2,100,744.59 over two years including $101,429.14 for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol.

None of that alcohol is "Top Shelf" folks...It's the regular run-of-the-mill stuff...

As the potential next President, she "has" to take measures to ensure her own safety, meaning Air Force flights for top officials, as that' what the air force is in part there for, especially when not at war...

And if you think Pelosi has time to make out a drink-order-supply-sheet, then Mr.Trump has time to play 18-holes-of-golf every other day.

Pissing off our Israeli allies in the process!? This woman needs to be recalled! I am honestly considering looking into a petition to recall this woman!

Are you kidding me PowerStroker!? You are going to fault President Trump for his DOMESTIC travels here in the USA - while giving a pass to Democrats for all of their overseas trips!? I can count on one hand the amount of times I recall President Trump leaving the country to travel! Obama and Democrats used taxpayer funded planes more times than I have fingers and toes within his first MONTH! In fact, that is the first thing Obama did when he got in office was to take a great big international vacation at taxpayers expense, sure he called it business but what business he was conducting behind Americans back was of no benefit to the people of this nation!

Anyone who can not see how badly the Democrats have fleeced this country in overseas trips is a fool! That is the great part about President Trump grounding Nancy Pelosi, it brings attention to the fact that this sorry excuse for a woman would even consider leaving on a public relations tour while 800,000 of her constituents are furloughed. Something wrong with this woman's head and the Democrat party as a whole doesn't fair much better! There is this thing called a telephone and I suggest Democrats start using it more often because they were not elected to jet around the world on taxpayer money! The abuse of Government resources by the left is off the hook and appalling! 

That is literally all the Obama administration did was travel the world in luxury at the tax payers expense - to the tune of $17 Trillion dollars!

BUT NOT ANYMORE!

Oh really?

So the Secret Service is now releasing information pertaining to the cost of Presidential transport!? Because IIRC they would not release such information on the basis of national security.

Oh dear, looks like you just got caught in a lie - again..

And FYI, you only need to look at where the debt stood when Obama left office! We hired him to reduce the debt - NOT INCREASE IT! All that money he blew overseas was to ensure he could travel around and be welcomed... Who isn't going to welcome someone bringing over a billion dollars in cash? Who wouldn't welcome a guy who wanted to give the world an effective tax on Americans for global emissions? Yes PowerStroker, Obama spent $17 trillion and counting so he could fly around the world for free! He even admitted as much in an interview where he claimed Air Force One was the thing he missed most in his post Presidency years. I bet the pauper does!

And FYI, PowerStroker - President Trump flew around in his OWN airplane prior to becoming the President... It even had his name on it!

I don't ever recall seeing Obama flying around in his OWN airplane prior to being elected the President of this great nation!? Do you?

That being said, it is clear why the market has not crashed while the Government has been closed under President Trump - it is because people know he knows what he is doing... This might very well end up being a tremendous windfall for the American tax payer as these 800,000 jobs are starting to look more and more "non-essential" each passing day! So we have 800,000 more people to work in all the factories we will be getting in the near future... They could be future money paying union members, just like they all were prior to being furloughed! 

I used to think Trump was CRAZY for advocating Nancy Pelosi to be the speaker of the house, now I see it for the genius that it was! It was going to be FAR easier to parade Democrat waste under Pelosi than some newcomer!

 President Trump is a boss.

The media and Dems lost their minds Thursday afternoon after President Trump informed Speaker Pelosi her public relations trip to Afghanistan, Egypt, and Brussels has been postponed so that she can stay in DC and negotiate with him.

President Trump asserted his power and canceled the military flight that was scheduled to transport House Speaker Pelosi and other Democrat lawmakers to Europe.

Trump struck a nerve because furious phone calls were flying back and forth from The Hill to the State to the Pentagon and White House.

The President also promptly returned a full cart of luggage to Pelosis office. The luggage was returned to halls of Congress on a cart marked military liaison.

Via Free Beacon reporter Brent Scher who received the photo from a tipster:

BREAKING: Full cart of luggage has been returned to the halls of congress after @realDonaldTrump cancels @SpeakerPelosi's foreign triphttps://freebeacon.com/politics/picture-trump-returns-codel-luggage-to-pelosis-office/ 

 
5,190 people are talking about this
 

 

 

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said there is no need to provide military planes to fly Nancy Pelosi to Brussels or Egypt so it would have been an outrageous waste of tax dollars.

Eventually the shut down will end. That is when Trump will learn the civics lesson that ALL federal spending bills begin life in the House of Representatives. This is why presidents generally treat a House speaker with enormous respect, regardless of party. I would imagine a slight like this will not go unanswered by Speaker Pelosi.

Perhaps she will find some pork in the White House operating budget and cut it accordingly??? Trump ain't gonna like this.

Double whammy. She was seen at Reagan airport to fly to Afghanistan commercial. Since she announced her plans POTUS felt she could be in danger or the troops and cancelled that one too! Why is she so hell bent on leaving the country? I've got an idea why.

Time to ground her for sure, in the ground preferably. Regardless she says she doesn't drink alcohol (with a $101,000 alcohol tab on the AF plane) word is she does and it's heavily.

So is the Washington Times like a mix between the New York times and Washington Post, except instead of journalistic standards they have right wing agendas?

The reason I ask, is because real journalism would draw a comparison and show corresponding expenses from a previous Republican House Speaker.

Did they show any such comparison?

Call them and tell them that cause I could care less. As I have repeated hundreds of times. You degrade the messenger but can never dispute the message itself. You can find this info elsewhere too, someplace you would approve of.

If you could care less, then why do you post such blatantly bias articles?

If they made as many FOIA requests for John Boehner or Paul Ryan's travel expenses and posted them in the same article, I doubt they would end up with anything to get you people worked up, which is clearly their agenda, and it's working.

I merely ask for an even comparison so people can see the difference rather than a cherry picked story to incite false outrage, that's all... Kind of like the New York Times or Washington Post would do if they ever had a slow news day.

I have no idea how much taxpayer money they spent on military travel, which is my point. I would imagine it would be quite similar to Nancy Pelosi's travel expences on a per year basis. We all know John Boehner loved his expensive scotch, and could probably drink Nancy under the table. But did the Washington Times make any FOIA requests for his travel expences, of course not. They only asked for Nancy's receipts. This is not journalism boys, it's just propaganda to keep you all thoroughly angry so you keep voting Republican, which is the entire agenda of the Washington Times and other such political operative sites that pretend to be journalism.

Ultimately, these hit job stories don't contribute to any real discussion here. If you want a discussion, perhaps find data from both sides so we can make a comparison. You know, like real journalism does. Otherwise all you are doing is creating a little fake reality for yourselves to live in that is nowhere near what is going on in the real world. It may make you guys comfortable, but it costs you respect.

Truth is not bias just fact.

Ryan is not a republican in any way but name alone. Boner I never followed. Why don't you look it up on CNN or snopes or the onion and tell us.

They all waste money but not 100K on booze like skeletor.

Leave poor Nancy alone !

It's hard for her at the moment with all the bums & poop about the place...

100-K is a questionable amount for food & drink on a plane, but the higher-up-the-the-ladder you reside, the bigger the bills.

A fair comparison is needed here regarding expenses, or it's just the media throwing another log on the fire.

All I can say is this, if I worked as a politician I would demand a whole lot of money! I mean you guys are all fucking crazy and if I had the American public for a boss I wouldn't want to be no California pauper living in the streets of San Fransisco! That is for damn sure!

Even back in the days of Washington these politicians went all out with their wigs, ruffles and girdles.. So I get that it cost money, more money than my civilian ass could ever fathom. I guess Nancy gets a pass because she did deliver healthcare, and I am still not quite entirely sure how the fuck that works, but it has so far. Even if she did have to ram it down American's throats under threat of a fine, and even if it wasn't a single payer... whatever it took to get it thru the door I guess and leave the mess to clean up for the next guy! 

Each day I can't help but to at least take a peek at the news feeds... honestly it looks like the Democrats have been flinging shit at the wall the past two weeks trying to see what sticks! Just a very public fishing expedition that would never be possible in a court of law, except to say Congress has their own little rules and procedures they can use and abuse... and abusing it they are! This is outright shameless! Where is the smoking gun!? Where is anything that Trump has done been considered high crimes!? Trump is President! He can have investigated anyone or any damn thing he wants!

Noooooo.... Nooooo... I had to put up with Obama for eight long years! I had to putt off Frankenstines fat foot! I had to put up with TWO terms, because he was President! Those are the rules - I didn't write them! SUCK IT UP LIBERALS!

Obama paid a legitimate judgement from an account set up by Congress specifically for paying such judgments.

Trump tore up the agreement which allowed Iran to restart their nuclear ambitions, but didn't bother getting the money back. Art of the Deal my ass.

Personally, I feel we had every right to withhold that money and we should have tried the case instead of giving them money! I think it was an inside job! I think it's the reason Obama keeps getting big media handouts! I have never purchased one of his books! Never purchased one of Trumps books either! But I have visited grand buildings that he has created, which is more than I can say for Obama's "book sales", even if the service did suck - besides everyone who works in the hotel industry is a liberal. Bottom line here is that Obama had about as much right to give a state sponsor of terror that much cash as his FBI had executing that FISA warrant! If perverting the law turns you on PowerStroker, I am sure the Democrats keep you moist!

He also wiped his ass with the constitution on a daily basis! 

As a former professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard, I highly doubt that.

Harvard Law? You mean the liberal school of indoctrination? He likes to talk like his shit don't stink but I know his type... Smoking joints in the back tooting lines and chasing the muff around. Whatever, exactly how long was he a professor of constitutional law anyway? IIRC there was some debate about that being an exaggeration of the truth.

Obama just had a lot of crooked people covering for him, but that is starting to unravel.

Just look at them all melting down! They don't even seem to be paying attention that America is watching! They have just gotten that bold!

A lot of people, THE WORLD OVER, would like to see these crooks held accountable because these same people took them for mad cash too and there was nothing that could be done!

Which crooks? are you talking about the Trump tax scam?

Tax Scam? If paying less taxes is wrong then I don't want to be right! We have already seen how Obama wastes other peoples money, lets get the government do more with less! Self preservation must not be an instinct you possess.. 

Doing something for country is one thing, doing it to enrich yourself is quite another! Big difference!

Spoken like President Bone Spurs himself!

He is donating his Presidential Pay, spent Thanksgiving in Afghanistan as POTUS - even served food for some of them! He is going to end up doing an eight year tour! I'd say it caught up with him, he would have never been a good battlefield warrior. But he has been lethal with the pen.

Q: Was Barack Obama really a constitutional law professor?

A: His formal title was "senior lecturer," but the University of Chicago Law School says he "served as a professor" and was "regarded as" a professor.

https://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/obama-a-constitutional-law-professor/

 

Professor Or Not, Obama Repeatedly Flunks Constitution Law Tests

Okay, lets give President Obama the benefit of a doubt regarding whether he could legitimately claimed to have ever been a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School, given that he never served as more than a part-time senior lecturer.

Obama never did anything impeachable.

Trump has done SEVERAL, but is only being tried for 2.


 So, lets take a look at just a few examples of their golden boy Obama doing the exact same thing, and then we can ask ourselves Why didnt Congress impeach Obama over this? If the same standard theyre applying to Trump today were applied to Obama, the latter would have been kicked to the curb.

 

5. Refusing to let the White House social secretary testify on party-crashers scandal

 

In 2009, two party-crashers got past the Secret Service during a state dinner, and managed to meet and shake hands with Barack Obama. How does such a breach in security happen? Congress wanted to know and opened up an investigation. For some reason, though, the White House wasnt equally interested in investigating the breach, and when White House Social Secretary Desirée Rogers was asked to testify before Congress, the White House refused to let her, citing separation of powers as the reason. There wasnt anything partisan about this investigation. In fact, Democrats were the ones running it. The refusal to comply with the investigation was bizarre, and legal scholars found the separation of powers excuse in this particular case to be rather dubious.

 

What was the Obama White House really trying to hide? Who knows? But, despite obstructing Congress, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives didnt launch an impeachment inquiry.

 

4. Refusing to provide documents revealing Justice Kagans Obamacare conflict of interest

 

Elana Kagan served as solicitor general for the Obama administration before being nominated and confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court. During her time as solicitor general, she was heavily involved in crafting a legal defense for Obamacare. This was significant as issues involving Obamacare were coming before the Supreme Court and federal law dictates that Supreme Court justices must recuse themselves when their impartiality might reasonably be questioned, such as with Elana Kagan and Obamacare.

Under 28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(3), a Supreme Court justice has a legal duty to recuse him- or herself from a proceeding if they have served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy.

 

Of course, with a closely divided Supreme Court, Obama couldnt afford to have Kagan recuse herself from Obamacare-related cases. So, when the House Judiciary Committee requested documents and interviews to get a clear understanding of her role relating to Obamacare while she was solicitor general, the Obama/Holder Justice Department refused to comply.

Kagan ultimately never recused herself from Obamacare-related cases. Imagine if the tables were turned.

 

3. Refusing to allow the political director for the 2014 midterms to testify

 

In 2014, Democratic operatives were concerned that the Obama White House wasnt doing enough to help in the forthcoming midterms. So, Obama launched the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach to do more for their candidates. Of course, this raised legitimate concerns that Obama had just created a White House office specifically for political activity.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee launched an investigation in order to make sure the White House was complying with civil services laws that were designed to prevent executive branch employees from engaging in political activity. They subpoenaed David Simas, the director of the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, but the Obama White House refused to allow him testify, and actually claimed Simas was immune from congressional compulsion to testify on matters relating to his official duties and thus would not appear before the committee.

 

2. Not allowing Ben Rhodes to testify on Iran Nuclear Deal

 

The Iran Nuclear Deal was so bad Obama didnt even try to get Senate ratification for it, and much of the negotiations were done without Congress being informed. When congressional Republicans wanted to get answers after Ben Rhodes (the failed novelist turned Obama speechwriter turned top foreign policy adviser to Obama) let it spill to the New York Times that the administration relied on a false narrative to sell the Iran deal to the public, the White House wouldnt let him testify, using the separation of powers excuse. Specifically, the appearance of a senior presidential adviser before Congress threatens the independence and autonomy of the president, as well as his ability to receive candid advice and counsel in the discharge of his constitutional duties, explained White House counsel Neil Eggleston. This was after the White House previously claimed they wouldnt hide behind executive privilege.

 

1. Eric Holder refuses to provide subpoenaed Fast & Furious documents

 

The investigation of the botched Fast & Furious investigation is perhaps the most significant example of the Obama administration using executive privilege to justify their refusal to cooperate with a congressional investigation. Attorney General Eric Holder, Obama's wingman, refused to provide subpoenaed documents to the House Oversight and Reform Committee. The blatant attempts by the administration to resist cooperating with the investigation ultimately led to a historic vote to hold Attorney General Holder in criminal contempt.

Well, if your side truly thought ^ those were impeachable, why didn't you impeach him when you held both houses of Congress?

You can impeach someone after they are out of office? confuse

That is news to me! If true, you might get your wish soon enough!

I bet you Republicans saught two FISA warrants under Obama's FBI... One was rejected the other was denied.

 No comment on the "senior lecturer" ? You know the only class he actually taught at Harvard was "Howard/Pliven" don't you.

I didn't attend the same schools as President Obama, so I'm not able to testify in the first person as to Obama's actual scheduled work time there. I would say that someone who lectures, is in essence professing knowledge. Furthermore, if such professing happened at a given school enough that said school considers the person a Professor, then why should anyone argue that point?

This constant effort to knock down Obama's resume as a means to make him seem less legitimate as a president, as if that could somehow be used as justification to get a court order that could just undo everything he enacted is both laughable and impossible.

You have got to be kidding PowerStroker! Trump reversed almost ALL of Obama's E.O.'s soon as he was sworn in! Obamacare has lost it's mandate, and he shut down his "woke" supporters!

Gawd forbid it ever become proven that he lied about his birthplace, or at minimum renounced his citizenship to get free schooling abroad! You know how Obama got free school too, while the rest of Americans are stuck with lifetime student loan obligations!

The guy is everything we have come to expect in cradle to grave handouts and affirmative action! There really is no need to knock him down PowerStroker, his rags to riches story of gaming the system speaks for itself!
