Pelosi Ripped After Taking House Democrats out for Dinner Party as Troops Pay Price (tr)

According to media reports, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) invited the 192 Democrat Members of the House of Representatives out to dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C. Saturday during the first day of the government shutdown.

Politico’s Jake Sherman was first to report on Pelosi’s dinner.

✔ @JakeSherman PELOSI hosting a dinner for all House Dems tonight at aqua al 2..... 3:28 PM - Jan 20, 2018

The Hill’s Scott Wong reported the menu, “On the menu at Pelosi’s dinner at Acqua al 2: cheeses and meats, pasta, lots of wine and for dessert … cheesecake with strawberry drizzle & tiramisu”

@scottwongDC Members fan out across DC for dinner. Spotted Alabama lawmaker grabbing pizzas at Matchbox on Barracks Row; Dems heading to Acqua al 2

Acqua Al 2, located blocks from the Capitol, describes itself as “an authentic Italian restaurant located in the heart of the historic Eastern Market in Washington, DC.” The menu is not cheap and not the most expensive either for D.C., but dinner for two would put a hurt on a working couples’ budget with dinner entrees running from $18 to $39, not including drinks, appetizers and dessert.

Military families blasted Pelosi for living it up while soldiers are going without due to the shutdown.

🇺🇸Thomas-S Fla🇺🇸 @thomassfl Hi @NancyPelosi Can my @USArmy daughter go? For some reason she's not getting a paycheck and illegals get more support from dems then she does...personally I think its idiotic to hold up military paychecks... The play with high explosives... pic.twitter.com/rIzpJWKkbo

Jeff Works4aliving @JeffreyusaSmith Wow. My Son in the military gets screwed and she celebrating? What has this country coming to?

Guaranteed that wasn’t her $20k but some kickback under the table stash from taxpayers. Surprised she didn’t take out a busload of illegals.

Ha, she got ripped off. Italian food is cheap. A large homemade pizza costs about $2.50 and spaghetti about $1.50.

https://locu.com/places/acqua-al-2-washington-us/#menu
“Strozzapreti al Pomodoro - $13 Fresh ricotta cheese and spinach balls hand-rolled and baked in our house-made tomato sauce and parmigiano” Oh, puleeze. Another $1 homemade dish.

“Parmigiana al Forno $14 Grilled eggplant, baked in our house-made tomato sauce and parmigiano” Made the entire eggplant for about $2.50.

“Insalata Mista $9 Mixed greens, radicchio, grape tomatoes and dried cherries, tossed with balsamic and olive oil” Honestly, had that same salad with romaine lettuce twice this last week for pennies and about 3 minutes to prepare. Mr. b loved it so much the first time, we had it again the next night.

“Controfiletto ai Funghi Porcini $32 Hand-carved New York strip steak sauteed and topped with porcini mushrooms” Ha, who knew I was all fancy. Actually splurged with a reduced to sell quick London broil from Walmart with some sautéed white mushrooms and the above salad a couple days ago for a quarter of the price for 4 servings. Ate in front of the tv so no linen table cloths to wash and starch.

I hope some illegal in the kitchen didn’t wash up after going to the bathroom and they all get a bad case of the “runs”.

The $18-$39 is for the entrees only. That’s not including drinks, appetizers and desserts or the tip. If you think Democrats did without drinks, you are nuts.

You are right. They need to wash down all that steak and lobster.

Probably a tad hyperbole.

But I doubt Moochelle missed a meal during the last shutdown, and she certainly wasn't going to each lunch at any of the schools serving her menu of food items approved for other-than-her-own school kids.

Thank you. I’m sure our troops thank you as well. Exposure is what the RATs fear the most. I suggest that everyone copy this link with photos and post on social media and email to your email list(s).

A tour of Arlington should be forced on these bottom-feeding RATs and turncoat RINOs like Flake so they see what sacrifices are made for this nation while they wine and dine to celebrate their duplicity against the American people, our military, and our national security. In my opinion, these political douche bags aren’t worthy of licking the bottoms of our troops boots.

Keep the telephone lines in DC busy 24/7:

202-224-3121

Ask for the bottom-feeder of your choice!

Figure the tab at $75 a head including drinks.

In DC? Gimme a break - more like $150 a head... NOT including drinks.

President Trump poked fun at the Democrats, saying the shutdown was their way of giving him a one year anniversary gift for first year in office.

This is the One Year Anniversary of my Presidency and the Democrats wanted to give me a nice present. #DemocratShutdown— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2018

The democrats prefer protecting illegal aliens rather than U.S.citizens!:

Tell Senate Democrats that YOU -- the American voter -- will ALWAYS remember the day that Democrats put illegal immigrants before American citizens. !!!!

Remember Marie Antoinette! Nancy!

‘Let them eat cake’ - the meaning and origin of this phrase
https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/let-them-eat-cake.html
It is widely attributed to Marie-Antoinette (1755-93), the Queen consort of Louis XVI. She is supposed to have said this when she was told that the French populace had no bread to eat. The original French is ‘Qu’ils mangent de la brioche’, that is, ‘Let them eat brioche’ (brioche is a form of cake made of flour, butter and eggs).

Fox needs to send out reporters to interview families of our solders if this Schumer Shutdown continues.

Interview families of the 9 million children in need of continued healthcare via Chips.

Turn the tables on the RATs

Awesome idea! The only network that would do this is Fox or OAN. We need to send them your excellent suggestion!

DEMOCRATS LIVE LARGE WHILE OUR TROOPS GO HUNGRY.
If they used tax dollars there’s hell to pay.

Figure the tab at $75 a head including drinks. That’s $14,400 without tip.
Add a 20% tip of $2,880 and the celebratory Democrats meal comes in at $17,280.


How nice of her to use our money to treat the traitors to a delicious meal!
