Pelosi Ripped After Taking House Democrats out for Dinner Party as Troops Pay Price (tr)

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.

Politico’s Jake Sherman was first to report on Pelosi’s dinner.

✔ @JakeSherman PELOSI hosting a dinner for all House Dems tonight at aqua al 2..... 3:28 PM - Jan 20, 2018

The Hill’s Scott Wong reported the menu, “On the menu at Pelosi’s 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?

Of course they’d be happy, they expect that -yet again- the Republicans will be blamed for their misdeeds.

Was the Coupon more than the Senior Discount?

I don’t think you can combine the two.

Unless they went Dutch of course.

Pelosi is eating high on the hog, while our troops are probably eating stored MRE’s.
Pelosi is digusting

You just hit on the germ of a great idea.

President Trump should invite the entire senate and house of representatives to an exclusive restaurant for dinner.

Once everyone is seated he should have them served with out of date MRE's.

Then point out that they are lucky to have even an MRE because, thanks to them, the families of many service men and women
won't even be able to afford a $5 or $6 out of date MRE for dinner.

If taxpayers not paying, I don’t care. We know they’re all millionaires anyway

Figure at least $75 a head including drinks.

That’s $14,400 without tip.

Add a 20% tip of $2,880 and the meal comes in at $17,280.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So will this $17k show up on nanner’ office budget?

The taxpayers were paying one way or another. At least they could have burritos.

Just get some footage or maybe a copy of the bill and then, for the, PIECE DE RESISTANCE....

Who paid for it?

Did she pay for it out of her own pocket? Did she use a government credit card?

That is the question that needs to be answered. If she paid out of pocket, it’s disgusting but not surprising from people that are far, far removed from reality. But, if she used a government card, what a political ad that would make.

You should have seen the big bowl of what she called chocolate ice cream with a cherry on top. Eat it first to find out what’s really in it. Great optics for an expensive Italian restaurant for 192 people, but because of DACA, the dinner should have been at Taco Bell.

Wonder if Nan charged it to her husband's business account..

Paul Pelosi would love to buy 200 a nice meal, drinks and rich dessert..

I was wondering also if maybe the Restaurant arranged a special, ‘two scoops of doggies doo, with a cherry on top’ as a special desert for them? that would be really special...

These Professional Politicians are always about them FIRST...nothing more...

Did they serve one scoop of ice cream for dessert? Or two?

Being Democrat pigs, they probably each got a gallon.
