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

Guaranteed that wasn’t her $20k but some kickback under the table stash from taxpayers. Surprised she didn’t take out a busload of illegals.
Ha, she got ripped off. Italian food is cheap. A large homemade pizza costs about $2.50 and spaghetti about $1.50.

“Strozzapreti al Pomodoro - $13 Fresh ricotta cheese and spinach balls hand-rolled and baked in our house-made tomato sauce and parmigiano” Oh, puleeze. Another $1 homemade dish.
“Parmigiana al Forno $14 Grilled eggplant, baked in our house-made tomato sauce and parmigiano” Made the entire eggplant for about $2.50.
“Insalata Mista $9 Mixed greens, radicchio, grape tomatoes and dried cherries, tossed with balsamic and olive oil” Honestly, had that same salad with romaine lettuce twice this last week for pennies and about 3 minutes to prepare. Mr. b loved it so much the first time, we had it again the next night.
“Controfiletto ai Funghi Porcini $32 Hand-carved New York strip steak sauteed and topped with porcini mushrooms” Ha, who knew I was all fancy. Actually splurged with a reduced to sell quick London broil from Walmart with some sautéed white mushrooms and the above salad a couple days ago for a quarter of the price for 4 servings. Ate in front of the tv so no linen table cloths to wash and starch.
I hope some illegal in the kitchen didn’t wash up after going to the bathroom and they all get a bad case of the “runs”.
The $18-$39 is for the entrees only. That’s not including drinks, appetizers and desserts or the tip. If you think Democrats did without drinks, you are nuts.
You are right. They need to wash down all that steak and lobster.
(SNIFFLE) I’m all broke about the possibility of Democrats having the “runs.” (sob).
Lol
They deserve only the very worst.
Agreed. That would be a great idea!
Yeah exactly!
Thank you. I’m sure our troops thank you as well. Exposure is what the RATs fear the most. I suggest that everyone copy this link with photos and post on social media and email to your email list(s).
A tour of Arlington should be forced on these bottom-feeding RATs and turncoat RINOs like Flake so they see what sacrifices are made for this nation while they wine and dine to celebrate their duplicity against the American people, our military, and our national security. In my opinion, these political douche bags aren’t worthy of licking the bottoms of our troops boots.
Keep the telephone lines in DC busy 24/7:

Ask for the bottom-feeder of your choice!
In DC? Gimme a break - more like $150 a head... NOT including drinks.
This is the One Year Anniversary of my Presidency and the Democrats wanted to give me a nice present. #DemocratShutdown Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2018
The democrats prefer protecting illegal aliens rather than U.S.citizens!:
Tell Senate Democrats that YOU -- the American voter -- will ALWAYS remember the day that Democrats put illegal immigrants before American citizens. !!!!
Remember Marie Antoinette! Nancy!
‘Let them eat cake’ - the meaning and origin of this phrase
https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/let-them-eat-cake.html
It is widely attributed to Marie-Antoinette (1755-93), the Queen consort of Louis XVI. She is supposed to have said this when she was told that the French populace had no bread to eat. The original French is ‘Qu’ils mangent de la brioche’, that is, ‘Let them eat brioche’ (brioche is a form of cake made of flour, butter and eggs).
More democrat millionaire’s in D.C than republicans guess who takes the kick backs?.
Thanks for that pic! I encourage everyone to forward it to all they know!

Turn the tables on the RATs
Awesome idea! The only network that would do this is Fox or OAN. We need to send them your excellent suggestion!
She asked the Awans to hide it.

har!
could be right.
DEMOCRATS LIVE LARGE WHILE OUR TROOPS GO HUNGRY.
If they used tax dollars there’s hell to pay.
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.
