Pelosi inviting members of Congress for Taiwan trip
by Laura Kelly - 07/27/22 11:53 AM ET
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has extended an invitation to members of Congress to join her on a planned trip to Taiwan, according to a House aide.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was invited to join the Speaker to visit Taipei but is unable to attend because of a previous commitment, his spokesperson Leslie Shedd confirmed to The Hill.
Schedd added that the congressman was disappointed not to be able to join the trip.
NBC News was first to report Wednesday that the Speaker was extending invitations to members of Congress to join her, including Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Foreign Affairs panel.
— This report will be updated.

US fighter jets, ships ready if Pelosi travels to Taiwan: report
The Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly stated its opposition to Pelosi's possible visit to Taiwan
By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi | Fox News
The United States military is making preparations ahead of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's planned visit to Taiwan.
While the speaker's trip to the nation of Taiwan remains unconfirmed and without a hard timeframe, Chinese officials have already taken issue with the idea.
The U.S. military is prepared for every contingency and would increase its movement of forces and assets in the Indo-Pacific region.

All smoke and mirrors.

This whole thing seems just a bit hinky.

The U.S. House of Representatives have little to nothing to do with Foreign Poilicy. That is the domain of the US Senate and the Executive Branch.
There is no need for official internation travel by House Members.

She's likely already got Hunter on board, so now is looking for Swallwel and his ilk to come along

Good afternoon. As a strong "America First" Republican, I fully support the plans of Nancy Pelosi to knowingly instigate an international crisis on the other side of the world by making a flamboyant symbolic gesture

Any GOP member sitting or standing within 10 feet of a dim leader is asking for a ready made campaign ad for his/her opponent.

While the speaker's trip to the nation of Taiwan remains unconfirmed and without a hard timeframe, Chinese officials have already taken issue with the idea.
The U.S. military is prepared for every contingency and would increase its movement of forces and assets in the Indo-Pacific region.
Officials told The Associated Press that fighter jets, ships, surveillance assets and other military systems would likely be used to provide overlapping rings of protection for her flight to Taiwan and any time on the ground there.
China's government warned last week it would take "forceful measures" if Pelosi visited Taiwan after the Financial Times reported she would travel to the Chinese-claimed island nation next month.

Weird. China calling for the death of our alcoholic insider trader and socialist loon, but @TwitterSafety loves the communist Chinese, so nothing. 🤷♀️ Not that I really care about her, but consistency would be key.

If US fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion. The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down.

Pelosi wouldn't fly in it unless it was plush as Air Force One - with an extra well-stocked bar.

True! They will have to pour her out of the plane when it lands .

The Mad Queen of Hearts doesn't share so I bet all those invites she handed out read BYOB and BYOD.

DAMN! And here I have been thinking Pelosi was a useless piece of semi-human garbage,and then she goes and invites a whole damn plane full of Dims to go with her and get shot down by the Chinese!
Nancy,I apologize for misunderstanding you all these years! You my hero!
