why do you think the president decided to cancel this trip only a half hour before nancy pee pe, adam schiff and other members were about to board a bus on capitol hill to take them to joint base andrews to fly out? because he can t help himself. that s the answer. we were just discussing this before. this is petty, as lindsey graham said earlier today, this is sophomoric. if you read the letter itself, it also shows you that the president really has no idea that congressional delegations to places like afghanistan are not exactly a day at the beach and that the service members really appreciate when you visit them and that they re fact finding, because you are in congress you have the power of the purse and you want to know what you re voting on. he called it a public relations event and a seven-day excursion, as if it s a day at the beach for nancy pelosi.
