Partying hearty: Menendez's bikini shot blows up Dems' narrative on shutdown. Puerto Rican junket
American Thinker ^ | 01/14/2019 | Monica Showalter

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):

Reports say dozens of Dems are in PR for the CHC BOLD PAC winter retreat — including meetings on Maria cleanup, and a party with PR’s “Hamilton” cast. pic.twitter.com/6FaBYKPo4L— David McAlpine (@DavidMcAlpine) January 12, 2019

The Democrats have lost the public argument on the Wall. This is why the media rushed into the back up “ mueller” crap again to cover the disaster they now face defeat on the wall. The attempted coup by those in the FBI of our elected president is very old news but should be met with very new ropes around their necks after swift trials for sedition. The NYT story is a damnation of the FBI!!

I think Chris Cristie still has him beat.

You know, the guy who shut down the Jersey beaches and was then photographed enjoying them with his family?

Is there a list of these knuckleheads anywhere? None of the stories I read had a list.

RE: The Democrats have lost the public argument on the Wall.

The media are coming to their rescue though. How? Via POLLING ( their polls ). According to the recent ABC poll, Americans blame Trump and the Republicans more than Democrats for the government shutdown.

I do not believe that at all. That is leftist BS. Those Polls are manufactured for narrative,. There are many more that are contrary. There will be a Wall or this country is FINISHED.

When President Trump holds a round table he makes it available to the press so it can be seen live and/or later on the internet. I wonder if the Dems round table is available to be seen. With 30 or so politicos, did the Puerto Rican officials have a chance to say anything?

Menendez should’t be on a sunny warm beach, let alone in Congress. He should be in jail. But, he’s a Democrat.
