President Trump is staying put in snowy Washington while his government shutdown duel with Democrats continues, canceling every fancy trip out (that doesn't include a non-touristy one to the Texas border), including even a Christmas trip to his home in Florida.
That's fitting for the times, and it suggests a leader looking for a resolution.
But then there are...the Democrats.
A whole slew of them packed off to Puerto Rico for a junket, getting hold of those hard-to-get Hamilton tickets (no shutout there); bunking in with 109 K Street lobbyists in $429-a-night hotel rooms; and, sure enough, partying hearty. WashEx's Paul Bedard has the opening story.
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.
Get a load of the bikini shot of Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, spotted by Fox News producer David McAlpine (and Bedard):

Democrats at Copabana partying like there’s no tomorrow. Got it.
I'd rather not.
Pictures not welcome on this thread.
Trump needs to tweet this pic.
Not being a tweet guy, I’m not sure if you can tweet photos.
You can, yes?
Hey people! Lets give Menendez a break here. After all, the plane to Epstein Island was booked up!
Was he at a nudist colony? Oh - never mind.
I don’t know. Don’t want to know.
Someone should be standing by with eye bleach just in case.
Senate paychecks are unaffected, so Menendez PARTIES!
To be clear, Party Bob is not in a bikini. The lady standing next to him is.
RE: Not being a tweet guy, I’m not sure if you can tweet photos.

Of course you can.
LOL That’s a relief.
That heading raised questions I didn’t want to know the answer to and was trying to forget.
At least the female he is obviously paying is older than 15.
Man, those are some nasty thighs on that skank.
She should cover them up.
Well, from the looks of her thighs, at least she’s waaaaayyyy over the age of consent.
(It’s really not fair, that from the front, older ladies, like myself, may have normal looking thighs, but turn us around, and aarrrghh!, all those years are following us, from behind. It’s some consolation that old men have the same affliction, I guess.)
Can you imagine if Republicans were partying like its 1999 at some beach resort what the reaction of the commie media would be..there would be OUTRAGE, but here, hardly a peep since its Dems..hey Dems are not worrying about a Govt shutdown, they are PARTYING so I dont want to hear anymore nonsense on TV about how we have to end this shutdown, Dems are partying so who cares
Politician with power, negotiating a full release with taxpayer funds. Prick.
