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):

Caveat: Anything in Wiki with possibly bad optics for a Lib should be taken with a block of salt ... to be fair it does reference X42 (Clinton) and Kevin Spacey among others including PDJT.
A person Yes! A lady, I doubt it.
Hey, look, I'm not used to paying anything . . .
That woman is WAAAAAY past her bikini days. Someone please alert her! Show her the pic!
#ReallyBadCellulite
The lighting was bad. Ill bet not 1 in 500 Americans over 25 would look perfect at that angle. Just sayin.
‘Cept for those bewbs out there in the water.
I think some of that thigh messiness is chair lines. They can be brutal.
Cellulite city
I thought they still had no electricity due to Trump's lack of response for the hurricane.
Another narrative blown.
Was Monkey Business available for charter, too?
___________
All politicians in work attire, please ...
..... except maybe Tulsi Gabbard.
That woman is not going to appreciate that picture.
:-)
For what it’s worth
Retreat of Bold PAC, the CHCs political and fundraising
arm, in Puerto Ricos capital, San Juan.
Scroll down for members:
Im sure their paychecks amount to walking around money. Their real money comes from lobbyist payola.
Good or bad lighting aside, there comes a time in life where everyone needs to realise they have passed their “best by” date.
I realise my “best by” date is long gone. Won’t see me frolicking around in a pair of Speedos, not never. Wouldn’t inflict that on someone I DON’T like. :)
Like some comedian said, I have a body best left covered. :P)
That woman needs long trousers. That is utterly disgusting how someone could be in public and in such poor physical condition- SICK
By the look of her body, hes probably asking about her great grandchildren
we know why they are there, but who is going to ask, why are they there with a planeload of lobbyists and exactly which lobbyists are hosting the pool parties and cocktails?
