I’d suffer brain damage just being in a confined space with that group. Ugh.

From the article: "The trip was paid for by Global Citizen, a nonprofit that lobbies for anti-poverty programs around the world, the Washington Examiner reported."

It was not funded by taxpayer money (but was certainly a bribe).

The ironic part is it was a trip to focus on poverty.

It is worth adding that Cape Town is one of the most popular high end tourist venues in the world. It features some of the best luxury hotels in the world, and many of the best restaurants in the world. It also features many luxury game reserves, oh and vineyards that rival the best of France.

Knowing how things work in shithole countries, I’d assume for another five grand apiece you could ensure they all stay there into perpetuity.

They should be removed from office.

But they won't be removed, because there are still too many stupid people voting for them again, and again, and again.

“But they’re D so it’s ok. Just ask ABCNNBCBS..”

The Congressional Black Caucus are the most corrupt of the greater Democrat Caucus. But I’ve noticed that the Democrat Caucus every once in a while ‘sacrifices’ one of them. It’s almost as if the DNC shoves a body out the door to show that they are ‘against corruption’. But the cynical side of me say that it’s an excuse to keep the Congressional Black Caucus ‘in its place’ — get out of line an Madam Speaker will sic the FBI on you (as she’s handing them the evidence).

If the Congressional Black Caucus hasn’t figured this game out by now they never will.

These criminals should be booted from any position of authority or responsibility. They despise the Citizens of America and steal their money. Bums. Arrest them. Force them to give US Citizens reparations for their criminal behavior.

Congressional Black Caucus.

Nothing will be done about this. They can get away with anything.

The “C” in D.C. stands for Corruption. The District of Corruption.

if even one person in their office had to pull overtime or clock extra hours because of the trip, if even one meeting had to be postponed, if a govt vehicle was used to transport even one person or their luggage to and from the airport, if extra security was required, electronic or physical, then, yes, it cost the taxpayers.

I’m completely totally fine with this the fact is that the Democrats have all the good music locked up except for country

The point being if these far left is Marxist’s out of the country they can’t really be voting And doing any damage right?

I mean thank goodness that Barry just wanted to play golf every day and have concerts with Beyoncé

he could’ve done far more damage if he was a really scheming plotting leftist and rather than just a party boy
