Nancy Pelosi Vacationing In Hawaii During Shutdown.

[eagle1462010]

Good for her. Can't do anything until Trump stops his tantrum anyways.

Trump didn't throw a tantrum.
He just put his foot down.
You A holes were talking about him caving in and now you're crying that he's throwing a tantrum.
Make up your minds!!!!

Trump threw a HUGE tantrum and looked like a total loser doing it. He had his $5 billion for the border wall last year in the DACA Deal that Stephen Miller kiboshed when Dumb Donald got back to the White House.
Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter spoke out against it.

What's the point of staying in Washington to negotiate with someone who reniggs on his deal because his staff said "No" or Ann Coulter doesn't like it?

Weak, lazy and stupid. That's how Trump looks.

as do his followers who can't see the forest for the trees

Well..........after California burns to the ground..........ummmm..........what Trees......will you go hug them......they need a hug.

Nancy Pelosi has made it clear that she doesn't give a shit about anyone other than illegals.
Trump cancelled his trip to Florida over the Christmas Holiday to work on negotiations on reopening the government, but he has nobody to negotiate with because Democrats are on vacation. Nancy Pelosi is in Hawaii right now. Meanwhile she's on Twitter accusing Trump of "plunging the country into chaos".

Trump Cancels Florida Christmas Trip Over Shutdown – Nancy Pelosi Vacations in Hawaii



House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was spotted Thursday vacationing in Hawaii at the Fairmont Orchid resort during the government shutdown.
Rooms at this posh resort range from $899-a-night for a standard room to $4,899-a-night for the presidential suite, reported the Free Beacon.


President Trump canceled his Christmas trip to Mar-a-Lago to work during the shutdown, but Pelosi jet-setted to Hawaii while 800,000 government employees are currently not working.

Pelosi blamed President Trump for the shutdown after he refused to sign a stopgap funding bill that excluded $5 billion for the border wall.



The House revamped the bill and added the border wall funding Trump asked for and passed in a 217-185 vote — once again proving Pelosi wrong.

The Senate, however, refused to pass the bill after it got bounced back from the House, resulting in a Schumer shutdown.

Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Hawaii during Christmas seems to be a tradition.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, Pelosi spent Christmas at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka’upulehu on Hawaii and stayed in the $10,000 a night presidential suite even though Americans were suffering during the Great Recession.

It's what rich people do, look at the rich bitch in the Oval Office...He does the same.

Is Nancy Pelosi a rich bitch?

Hey, MORON.......Pelosi is not YET speaker........You know who currently is speaker??

Yeah, the guy who is spending his last few days down at the capitol gym doing absolutely ZERO to reopen the government......ZERO !!!

 

[Norman]

Yuge win for Americans to have her out of the decision making process. She may be rich but she is only a shell of a person. She might have been fresh about 200 years ago.

President Donald Trump's surprise trip to Iraq to visit US troops, his first combat-zone visit as president, fell short among some political commentators, including one of the most highly decorated officers in the US Army.

Former four-star Gen. Barry McCaffrey, who was awarded three Purple Heart medals, two Distinguished Service Crosses, and two Silver Stars, described Trump's visit as "embarrassing" and "entirely inappropriate" in a Thursday interview with MSNBC.

McCaffrey told MSNBC that it was "a good thing that the president went to Iraq and visited the troops" but suggested that what was supposed to be a morale-boosting visit between troops and the commander in chief instead became a political affair.

During his trip, Trump signed pieces of campaign memorabilia for the troops, including hats emblazoned with the "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan. McCaffrey suggested the hats may have been distributed by Trump's campaign; however, the US Air Force and White House disputed that assertion on Thursday, calling the materials "personal items" that service members chose to bring on their own.

But Trump's speech to the troops particularly struck a nerve with McCaffrey. Last week, Trump announced he would withdraw the roughly 2,000 US troops from Syria, citing the highly disputed claim that the Islamic State group had been "defeated." Following the backlash from many national-security experts, Trump suggested he was open to using Iraq as a staging point for another intervention in Syria, "if we wanted to do something."

McCaffrey also criticized Trump, who did not meet with Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi during the trip, for snubbing the leader of Iraq.

"The whole notion of going into Iraq and not genuflecting … the Iraqis is simply outrageous," McCaffrey said. "And announcing we're going to use it as the site from which we'll conduct combat operations in other nations, I mean, it's just inciting Iraqi sovereignty concerns.

He also criticized one of Trump's falsehoods about the military: the claim that US troops received their first pay raise "in more than 10 years" under his administration.

"It's not a lie if you believe it," McCaffrey said, quoting "Seinfeld" character George Costanza. "The troops all should have known it was complete nonsense, but they were sort of excited the commander in chief was there, and they were willing to blow by it."

​

Trump is martyring himself.
I've said all along that when the walls close in (as they are now) he would start setting himself as a martyr for his base.
"Sad."

In the meantime, Nancy's not the only one on vacay:

Steven Mnuchin, while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, issues statement on market liquidity

Yes, the troops were excited to see their Commander, and that's what really drives y'all nuts.

Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter spoke out against it.

What's the point of staying in Washington to negotiate with someone who reniggs on his deal because his staff said "No" or Ann Coulter doesn't like it?

Weak, lazy and stupid. That's how Trump looks.

LOL...............and Shcumer promised him another 15 Billion down the road............LOL

Cheap prick Schumer is..............he'd not approve the funds he promised later...........because he's a Lying ass.

LOL

That shit is funny.

When Chuck and Nancy agreed to this funding, the tax cut hadn't been passed, nor had the budget with the biggest decifit in history passed.

You cannot continue to run your country on a Chinese credit card. Income must rise, or things are going to get much much worse for your country.

While Americans are busy playing politics, the disastrous results of Trump's stupid tax cuts are about to come home to roost. If Trump had set out to destroy the US economy, he could not have done a better job of it, and quite frankly, since he appears to take his marching orders from Vladimir Putin, it would not surprise me in the least if that was the plan all along.
