American Thinker: Not only was President Trump’s masterly counter-move against House speaker Nancy Pelosi an expert power play against the speaker’s bid to take the television set away from him at the State of the Union, but it drew attention to something that doesn’t get much attention, the fact that she’s got some Imelda Marcos-style spending habits in state-financed travel.
According to the Daily Caller, citing Judicial Watch:
Pelosi’s trip to Italy and Ukraine from July 30 to Aug. 6, 2015, cost the Air Force $184,587.81, according to documents released Saturday under a 2015 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by Judicial Watch. Her delegation was made up of nine other members of Congress, including Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo of California and Marcia Fudge of Ohio.
Four family members, including Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi, were on the trip. The delegation dined at restaurants including James Beard American Restaurant in Milan, where a five-course meal cost up to $190, according to Fine Dining Lovers. The lawmakers also toured the Vatican and met up with Italian dignitaries, including President Sergio Mattarella and then-Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, according to their itinerary.
It gets worse. According to Judicial Watch itself-
She should be billed for this amount and charged 25% interest on the
balance from day 1.
So what, I like cake better than bread
Only the “tip of the iceberg” ever gets any notice.
It’s what you don’t see, that really is the story.
Fry that witch!
I was in Italy one time for Dinner.
It was 8 Euros. About $15 at that time.
You know what the worst part of this shit is? It’s when the bitch is back.
I recall the stupid and entitled bitch demanding a large military aircraft to shuttle her to and from the west coast when she was speaker last time.

She usually takes a C-37 unless she has all her entourage.
Trust me, the C-37 is the nicest passenger jet in the sky.
In the high roller lexicon, it’s a Gulfstream.
California is where she wants to be, grape vines, swimmin’ pools, movie stars.
Bet Hillary was the commissioned travel agent
I have some suggestions for a one-way trip… 😉
