According to media reports, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) invited the 192 Democrat Members of the House of Representatives out to dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C. Saturday during the first day of the government shutdown.
Politicos Jake Sherman was first to report on Pelosis dinner.
✔ @JakeSherman PELOSI hosting a dinner for all House Dems tonight at aqua al 2..... 3:28 PM - Jan 20, 2018
The Hills Scott Wong reported the menu, On the menu at Pelosis dinner at Acqua al 2: cheeses and meats, pasta, lots of wine and for dessert cheesecake with strawberry drizzle & tiramisu
@scottwongDC Members fan out across DC for dinner. Spotted Alabama lawmaker grabbing pizzas at Matchbox on Barracks Row; Dems heading to Acqua al 2
Acqua Al 2, located blocks from the Capitol, describes itself as an authentic Italian restaurant located in the heart of the historic Eastern Market in Washington, DC. The menu is not cheap and not the most expensive either for D.C., but dinner for two would put a hurt on a working couples budget with dinner entrees running from $18 to $39, not including drinks, appetizers and dessert.
Military families blasted Pelosi for living it up while soldiers are going without due to the shutdown.
🇺🇸Thomas-S Fla🇺🇸 @thomassfl Hi @NancyPelosi Can my @USArmy daughter go? For some reason she's not getting a paycheck and illegals get more support from dems then she does...personally I think its idiotic to hold up military paychecks... The play with high explosives... pic.twitter.com/rIzpJWKkbo
Jeff Works4aliving @JeffreyusaSmith Wow. My Son in the military gets screwed and she celebrating? What has this country coming to?

I tried NOT to imply that she still had it. However, as an entitled member of the entitlement party AND a self-esteemed member of congress, I’m sure that she would take a crack at using it....’specially if the bar were fully stocked.
I think Sat night was when Trump was supposed to be at the $100K/seat fundraiser dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Can anyone IMAGINE the outrage if he had done that? We would never hear the end of it. #DoubleStandard
Figure the tab at $75 a head including drinks. That's $14,400 without tip.
Add a 20% tip of $2,880 and the celebratory Democrats meal comes in at $17,280.
Let them eat cake!, right, Nanc? Smh...
Add another $1,440 to bring the guesstimated total for the meal (with tax and tip) to $18,720.
Of course to Piglosi that's only a little less than 18 crumbs.
But I would bet my MAGA hat that she will finagle a way to put it on her expense account as House minority leader.
An even better idea!

And Schumer is starting to make her look almost smart....
I like it!
Trump should tweet it.
Shumer Shutdown,
known all over the country.
VA disability, retired military pay, SSDI & SSI will all be paid.
Only active duty pay is under appropriations, which are stopped without a budget.
Indeed.
No question......the *itch will bill the taxpayers for their night out.
“....At least they could have burritos.”
Hope they tipped the waitstaff well. This may be the only income their families will be getting for a while.

Did she pay the bill with her money or ours?
She spent nearly $100,000 of our money on booze alone on her plane trips to California in just 1 year.
“Corruption is good with the Establishmedia as long as its DNC corruption.”
It’s all good because It’s all in the Family.
Such an incestuous bunch.
$18 x 192 = $3,456
$39 x 192 = $7,488
Plus tip.
