That's ok, during the government shutdown, they should all stay in Washington until its resolved.

Where's Mitch?

But Melanie used a military aircraft to fly to Florida today, alone, other than SS agents who are not being paid right now.

Your point?

Are there a lot of commercial flights to Afghanistan?

It is estimated the twit's flight cost taxpayers $35,000 so she could fly to their private club in Florida. Orange Chub Rub should have forked out his own money to fly the bimbo.

@leslie110 : After 9-11 the Secret Service and FBI STRONGLY recommended, probably the CIA too, that the Speaker of the House fly on military aircraft because of security and the availability of secure communications, if needed, on the plane. After all, the Speaker is right after the Vice President in presidential succession. Speaker Pelosi has done it as did Paul Ryan , John Boehner and Speaker Pelosi will do it again.

@EyeintheSky : Actually all Members of Congress can use military flights for foreign. fact finding trips in the Mideast and elsewhere.

@leslie110 : But she didn't slap trump across the face in public. Unlike pelosi did and as commander, it's his call for all thing military. So in a peeing contest, she lost and has to eat crow.

@EyeintheSky : ridiculous.

Haha

@EyeintheSky : Not quite sure what you are referring?

@joepyeweed : Pulling her Security concerns about the state of the union and just mail the speech. Turns out she never even spoke to SS or capitol police who are not part of the not getting paid group. They had already been planning for it you know since it happens every year.

I know of 535 people in Washington DC who should also not get paid a dime until this situation is resolved. No official trips either, except trips back to their district for district work, or, for the Senate, statewide work.

He should have let them go, and cancelled the return flight.
