well, we have to save money somehow and political junkets are as good a place to start as any.
Nancy, and the country, have never experienced real New York hardball before. I am going to venture that she has an aneurysm over this one. Chuckie's probably calling 911 and pooping his Depends. Trump just dialed it to 11.
The Afghans are probably laughing their asses off as is Sisi. Some preening American politician living off the public dime and wasting their time is just what they need.

I wouldn't want to be the MSGT flight attendant who had to turn them away.
We're sorry, but the TSA didn't have anyone to screen you because of the shutdown and the ATC's couldn't handle the extra traffic. Maybe you could go visit the WW II Memorial instead. That's not shut down.
TV cameras showing blue Congressional bus at the tarmac and Congressional junketeers having to return home. This was a damned master stroke--emphasizes they were about to take a second junket while the govt is shut down to avoid dealing with the border crisis. Genius !
I thought that the congressional recess was cancelled because of the shutdown. Ha,Ha. Pelosi and her minions can't go on their junket. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that other congresscritters have planned "fact finding" trips during the recess.

Clarice:
I am having the time of my life today!
Thumbs on the Dems taking the HOR, Ig. And with Schumer making an ass of himself yesterday with his little unconstitutional resolution, the Senate will continue to be a useful fulcrum.
i also think having the SOTU in the Senate outflanks Felosi's naked power grab to deplatform a Republican president.
come to the table, Felosi. you're the Speaker-- your job is to negotiate.
i'm not so sure whether it's useful to call AOC "dumb" or "smart."
she's being handled just the same as The Rat. so, hand her the recipe book and a handler (courtesy of Bernie Sanders, someone she worked with in the past), and follow the formula.
now she's in "banking oversight" with Maxine H2o, somebody who knows how to loot financial institutions--- she was part of the Blithering Homo Barney Frank's cabal and hollowed out 1 or 2 banks near her home district. she's a made gal.
are made criminals "smart" or "dumb"? the point is more that they breed and multiply in their own image--- effective in sandbagging the long arm of the law.
i expect AOC to become a National Threat once the NY Senate seat comes into her sights. that one needs to be removed from the national stage pronto, along with the Moslems she "rides with."
Now she can't back down on the SOTU stunt, so there's no need for Trump to rush his decision. The Dems can all just wonder about it for a while. It's 12 days away.

Love the pro-life stance of President Trump.
It is still my primary issue and the reason I vote for Republicans who are pro-life and yes I know Romney evolved on the issue.
I think the SOTU in the Senate will be excellent.
However Pelosi will have to pick up her invite in person at the Oval Office.
She will have to converse with Mulvaney before she gets her pass.
She will be assigned a seat as appropriate for someone who really didn’t want to attend.

This is a great article pulling the whole border debate together
Citizenship without consent erases borders; it is a step toward a borderless world. But this will be a world where citizenship is superfluous; “universal persons” will inevitably be subjects (or clients) of the administrative state that will govern the world order. The world homogeneous state, however, will dispense with the inconvenience of having to rest its powers on the consent of the governed, because it will not be a constitutional government but an administrative tyranny. In this future world state there will be no citizens, only subjects. Feudalism will have returned, but now on a global scale. Many on the Right who support supposedly “compassionate” immigration policy do not realize they are contributing to the realization of this future state.
Constitutional government, on the other hand, can exist only in independent, sovereign states where citizens share a common good that separates and distinguishes them from the rest of the world. Rights and privileges are unique to citizenship. They will not be a part of the homogenous world state—that borderless world where subjects of the administrative state will be called “universal persons” who are clients, but not citizens
Dem staffer told me she was overwhelmed by the # of lawmakers who showed up to the Twitter lesson with @aoc and @jahimes today. She can't remember a briefing/session when that many were in the same room -- especially at 8 a.m.

WHat this tells us is that AOC is gaining influence, the dems are going to be more prevalent on social media, and the GOP is going to have to up their game.

5000 calories the day before the game and 5000 calories beginning after the game (beer) continuing with solids the day following.
fast food was the way to get it done and to be able to begin training full speed within 2 days of the contest.
"...the foods they like." Trump always knows his audience and that's why he's racking up wins.

Schiff just commented in front of cameras looking flustered.
Said it seemed like a last minute decision.
Then someone asked about the shutdown and he was completely flummoxed.
Left soon after.
Clarice:
I am having the time of my life today!

Thumbs on the Dems taking the HOR, Ig. And with Schumer making an ass of himself yesterday with his little unconstitutional resolution, the Senate will continue to be a useful fulcrum.
i also think having the SOTU in the Senate outflanks Felosi's naked power grab to deplatform a Republican president.
come to the table, Felosi. you're the Speaker-- your job is to negotiate.

i'm not so sure whether it's useful to call AOC "dumb" or "smart."
she's being handled just the same as The Rat. so, hand her the recipe book and a handler (courtesy of Bernie Sanders, someone she worked with in the past), and follow the formula.
now she's in "banking oversight" with Maxine H2o, somebody who knows how to loot financial institutions--- she was part of the Blithering Homo Barney Frank's cabal and hollowed out 1 or 2 banks near her home district. she's a made gal.
are made criminals "smart" or "dumb"? the point is more that they breed and multiply in their own image--- effective in sandbagging the long arm of the law.
i expect AOC to become a National Threat once the NY Senate seat comes into her sights. that one needs to be removed from the national stage pronto, along with the Moslems she "rides with."

Now she can't back down on the SOTU stunt, so there's no need for Trump to rush his decision. The Dems can all just wonder about it for a while. It's 12 days away.

Just yesterday, @LeaderHoyer announced the recess next week was canceled because of the shutdown, but somehow the House was going to conduct business with the Speaker and a bunch of Members jetting off today to Europe and the Middle East for 7 days? Someone is lying.

The Dem/NeverTrump pundit/press reaction to CODEL cancellation is at least as interesting as Trump’s letter. That it’s in lockstep — again — also interesting.

He wasn’t expecting the question and of course without his talking points he revealed his inherent stupidity.
No solutions for resolution of the shutdown.
Just empty air.
We are blessed with a clueless opposition.

Love the pro-life stance of President Trump.
It is still my primary issue and the reason I vote for Republicans who are pro-life and yes I know Romney evolved on the issue.

Just think of the serendipity to have Schiff on the same bus as Pelosi.
Not even Zeus could have arranged that.
Off to dinner at the club. They have bay scallops tonight:)
Posted by: Jim Eagle | January 17, 2019 at 04:52 PM
I think the SOTU in the Senate will be excellent.
However Pelosi will have to pick up her invite in person at the Oval Office.
She will have to converse with Mulvaney before she gets her pass.
She will be assigned a seat as appropriate for someone who really didn’t want to attend.

if i could stomach one second of AssFace Maddow, i'd listen in to how they are spinning everything, including the "NTT" Mueller report.
but, i'm still reeling from not using ear plugs at Paw's during my visit. he's a little hard of hearing and had Madcow turned up to eleventy on the megascreen every night from 6-10p. (ya, i know. serious brainwashing going on.)

This is a great article pulling the whole border debate together
Citizenship without consent erases borders; it is a step toward a borderless world. But this will be a world where citizenship is superfluous; “universal persons” will inevitably be subjects (or clients) of the administrative state that will govern the world order. The world homogeneous state, however, will dispense with the inconvenience of having to rest its powers on the consent of the governed, because it will not be a constitutional government but an administrative tyranny. In this future world state there will be no citizens, only subjects. Feudalism will have returned, but now on a global scale. Many on the Right who support supposedly “compassionate” immigration policy do not realize they are contributing to the realization of this future state.
Constitutional government, on the other hand, can exist only in independent, sovereign states where citizens share a common good that separates and distinguishes them from the rest of the world. Rights and privileges are unique to citizenship. They will not be a part of the homogenous world state—that borderless world where subjects of the administrative state will be called “universal persons” who are clients, but not citizens

Dem staffer told me she was overwhelmed by the # of lawmakers who showed up to the Twitter lesson with @aoc and @jahimes today. She can't remember a briefing/session when that many were in the same room -- especially at 8 a.m.
======================================
WHat this tells us is that AOC is gaining influence, the dems are going to be more prevalent on social media, and the GOP is going to have to up their game.

Just got back from taking Poogan to the vet (clean bill of health).
Heard on the radio about DJT pulling Felosi's broom out from underneath her.
Then heard about the busload going round and round.
What a magnificent bastard!!:):)
