Speaker Pelosi made an unannounced trip to Afghanistan where she met with the leaders of Afghanistan. Secretary of Defense Esper was also in Afghanistan and Speaker Pelosi also met with him. Trump isn't going to pull the wool over Speaker Pelosi's eyes, what a brilliant move on her part. Maybe she is getting ready to take over, one can hope.

(9,426 posts)FINALLY have competent people in the administration. Nancy does not mess with fools. Either someone is good at what they do, or they will be replaced. Sure will be a relief after this clown and his team of fools. This country will be back on track as a world leader, although it will take time after the last 3 unbelievable years.

(43,354 posts)she is finding out what is going on from the Secretary of Defense, which will help inform Congress. They kept close tabs on Nixon in the final months, no one knew what he was going to do, and he did say some crazy things that have surfaced but were unknown to the public at the time. Orders for nukes were to be reviewed for example.
The best sign I see, and little noticed, is Senator Burr and Senator Warner working together on election security and intelligence. This is a bedrock part of national security. They do agree on something.
