KICKING BACK AND RELAXING!!!!

30 Democrats in Puerto Rico with 109 lobbyists for weekend despite shutdown




Some 30 Democratic lawmakers left the government shutdown behind Friday on a chartered flight to Puerto Rico for a winter retreat with 109 lobbyists and corporate executives during which they planned to see the hit Broadway show “Hamilton” and attend three parties including one with the show’s cast.

Those attending the Congressional Hispanic Caucus BOLD PAC winter retreat in San Juan planned to meet with key officials to discuss the cleanup after Hurricane Maria at a roundtable Saturday.

But the weekend is packed with free time for the members and their families on the trip.

“We are excited for you to join us for CHC BOLD PAC’s 2019 Winter Retreat in San Juan, Puerto Rico! Each year, this retreat serves as a way for our CHC BOLD PAC Members and friends in the D.C. community to come together to escape the cold and discuss our shared priorities for a stronger and more prosperous country,” said a memo on the trip.

Some 109 lobbyists and corporate executives are named in the memo, a rate of 3.6 lobbyists for every member. They include those from several big K Street firms, R.J. Reynolds, Facebook, Comcast, Amazon, PhRMA, Microsoft, Intel, Verizon, and unions like the National Education Association.

The event is taking place in a seaside resort where rooms go for $429 a night. Food is being provided.

Shutdown? Those pieces of shit are getting paid no matter what.

So are the Republicans.  In case you're to stupid to figure it out, this all occurred because Mr. tough guy, art of the deal, had signed legislation to keep the government open, then Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter made big tough Donnie feel insecure by criticizing him, so he ripped that up.  What a pussy, and then he owned the shutdown on live television as well.  Not the democrats fault.  Of course now he blames the democrats, and so do his stupid fucking supporters.  Nothing new there.  Its actually taking a little heat off the dipshit as the noose tightens for all the illegal shit he has been doing.

Hahahahaha, you dolt. He turned it right around on them and put the blame DIRECTLY in their laps. This is 1000% on the Dems at this point. He’s offerd them damn near everything including amnesty for DACA (which they wanted) and they refused. He flat out said, in public without denial from the Dems “I’ll end the shutdown tomorrow for the $5.7bil and then even offered 1/2 of that and they refused.


You’re fucking high as a kite if you think this is even remotely on Trump.

Donald Trump said HE takes full responsibility for the shutdown.. he said he owned it. What part of that is too hard for you to comprehend Coach? Either he lied or it's his fault. Just like Lilhawk said, his supporters will believe anything he says so after being on national tv AND stating clearly that the shutdown would be on him, he simply has to say "It's the democrats fault" and people like you will automatically take up the chant. Sad really. and you have the audacity to say he is high as a kite to blame it on trump? Have you no intellectual integrity in that body of yours?

[Straw Man]

BFD - both parties do this kind of thing all the time.
This particular trip was arranged by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus

Pelosi didn't go on this trip and she is the one negotiating with the Cry Baby in Chief
McConnell wasn't in  DC so pretty obvious nothing was going to get done

Cool. Trump owns it. Now what? LOL
Stupid demoncrats could have looked like heroes if they took some of the 54+billion of "foreign aid" and dedicated it for a wall, instead they look like pouting babies to most logical, thinking people. Now Trump just has to stand his ground and the public perception will slowly shift to blame demoncrats, I've already seen media reports asking why won't demoncrats budge....soon.

The only thing left is for Coach to concede it..

I guess you missed the part where he turned right around on the Dems.

Yeah, me and every other person who hasn't drunk his kool aid

So you are saying he lied.   

Turned it right around....   

Saying it that someone else is to blame really doesn't make it so.
