Who wants to go there at a time like this? Trump wants the Chamber more than Nancy want a trip to Afghanistan.
He and his admin are such fucking bullies.

(3,430 posts)...can you imagine the hours of thought that went into this stupid move? Makes sense, because Stephen's frontal lobe sure ain't focused on his speech writing...he's horrible. Love that his speeches will sit in the Library of Congress (provided there still is one) for decades or more to come... they'll never run out of toilet paper, even in a shut down.
He should stick to lobbing spit balls and partioning elementary school desks with tape, clearly that's his character at root.

(2,052 posts)I'm sure there's a psychological reason for it but feels to me like it's a thing to him. An event that he made. No regard or feeling for its impact.
I guess I should be surprised that "The" isn't capitalized too.

(50,560 posts)She should just pay for the trip herself and tell Trump, "you will not speak in this chamber as long as I am in charge of it."

(175,742 posts)Why wouldn't she want to go to Afghanistan? This is not, as Spanky suggested, a public relations event of a holiday trip. It's to see first-hand what's going on there.

(7,809 posts)Or blessing? She's in an entirely different part of the government - the one that owns the budgetary purse strings. The most he can do is talk about how such a trip would look.
He's probably all pissy because he hasn't gone to Merde-lago in a while.

(7,809 posts)I figured I just hadn't heard about the trip, not that it was being under wraps.
That makes chumpy doubly assholish.
