THIS FEELS LIKE DEJA VU. Why? Many Dems have stated they will no-show tonight.
DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN 2019 before THE SOTU ADDRESS?
-
If so, this feel reminiscent of 2019, when Nancy Pelosi, then Speaker of the House, would not give the President permission to use the House Chambers for his SOTU address, citing 'Security Concerns'. Tradition requires that the President ask 'permission' from the current Speaker of the House. At the time of his request, the Democrats were in the middle of trying to impeach him and were doing everything to thwart him at every turn. When she said 'Security Concerns, that piqued my interest, as she said it for no apparent reason (that we knew of at that moment).
-
Nancy & the Dems had days earlier forced Congress into a shut down. Members of the DNC left town, partied, blatantly posted selfies at resorts, the beach, etc., all while taking a paycheck, while others got none. The Pres said he wasn't leaving, and he and the VP would stay at the WH to try and solve the shutdown.
-
Approaching the MLK holiday, on a Wednesday, Donna Brazile, then-Chair of the Democratic National Committee, made an odd tweet, saying this: "Madam Speaker today, Madam President by Monday. What a beautiful way to start the MLK Holiday". Donna later amended the tweet to say, "Madam President shortly thereafter..."
-
Why would Nancy be 'Madame President' on Monday? That could only happen if both POTUS AND VP POTUS were dead. WHAT DID DONNA BRAZILE KNOW?
-
On the same day, while working at The White House, the Pres sees many rolling carts full of luggage awaiting loading onto Air Force shuttle buses, and is made aware that Nancy, her key aides i.e., 'future cabinet' AND THEIR EXTENDED FAMILIES (total count of 93) were scheduled to take an AF jet for a 2-week (!) all expense paid (by taxpayers) freebie vacay to Brussels, Afghanistan, and Egypt.
-
Why would the Speaker of the House be traveling to those countries at this time without the President's knowledge or permission? Why was she leaving the country at all and not staying in Washington, DC? Trump grounded the jet, refusing to allow Nancy to board, citing Nancy's need to work to end the shutdown rather than take a vacation. She was STEAMED.
-
When Trump cancelled Nancy's Air Force Boondoggle, all of her entourage, who had just boarded the large luxury Air Force shuttle buses ready to deliver them to the awaiting AIR FORCE jet, refused to disembark and instead directed the drivers to circle the White House until they formulated a way around the President's orders. Several hours later, with no solution in hand, they were forced to get off, and they did so with Nancy spitting nails.
-
This whole thing seemed odd, until later in the day, when the FBI announced the arrest of a terrorist-wannabee Muslim man (whom they had been working with clandestinely under cover, allegedly) who was planning and plotting to use an anti-tank rocket to blow up the White House in the next few hours/days. He had driven from GA and had intended to hit the White House with a rocket and then enter with weapons to assassinate both the Pres & the VP. He also had planned to destroy several other landmarks in the area of the same weekend.
-
Was Nancy's shutdown of the Government and her 'last-minute' exit from the country related to some foreknowledge (or participation of) a planned assassination attempt of the Pres & VP, leaving her as the Commander in Chief? Is this what Donna Brazile was talking about?
You decide. I know what I think about it.
I know I didn’t, nor did I see anyone theorize this that I remember.
Pro-tier casual observation.
Thanks.
