The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm is planning a two-day getaway at a five-star resort in the heart of California’s wine country in early October — at the same time the country may be in the midst of a government shutdown — according to an invitation obtained by Politico’s “Playbook.”

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is hosting its Napa Retreat from Oct. 13-14 at Hotel Yountville in Napa County, Politico reported Saturday.

Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has chaired the DSCC since January, circulated an invitation to the event which lists her, Democratic Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks and other unidentified “[m]embers of the Democratic Caucus” as attendees, according to the outlet.

I just saw this article.

I guess some of the Democrats will have to whine about the shutdown in style.

Better beat them to the punch and take lots of photos for internet sharing to show that rules are for little people.

Elitist commie filth.

Looks like the Caviar Commies need a break from their selfless labor on behalf of the working class. Hope the tariffs haven’t affected the price of truffles.

The Vanguard of the Proletariat is required to fleece the sheeple.

It is right there in the Revised and Improved Kommie Manifesto.

“Set over 22 acres and richly landscaped with 100-year-old olive trees and a working wine-producing vineyard, the Estate Yountville embodies a village-within-a-village, framed by three accommodation offerings: Hotel Villagio, located on the south side of the resort near the Estate’s vineyard, with 113 lavishly-designed guest rooms; Vintage House, a more intimate option with 80 bungalow-style rooms featuring wood-burning fireplaces (for aesthetics only: the fireplaces are no longer in service due to the 2017 and 2019 Napa Valley fires in the area) and a private enclosed pool for VH guests; and finally, The Villa, a private, five-bedroom with cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, private courtyard, secluded swimming pool, and interior design inspired by the distinct grape varieties reflected in Napa Valley’s heritage. All rooms on the property are designed as self-contained sanctuaries, equipped with thoughtful amenities, like luxury Diptyque products.”

Not the same place? It’s a bit tough to tell yet.....

AI Overview

Both Don Felder and Joe Walsh play lead guitar on “Hotel California”. Don Felder co-wrote the music and played the first part of the song’s iconic dual-guitar solo, with Joe Walsh performing the second part, before they harmonized together at the end.
