Did everyone know that, while President Trump was working at the White House the weekend of January 12 and 13, 2019, 30 Democrats were in Puerto Rico on a party junket?
Here’s the headline from the Drudge Report (click on photo to see full image):
That’s Senator Bob Menendez (D-New Jersey), no stranger to the opposite sex.
As Big League Politics explains:
Perhaps Menendez should be more careful about signing himself up for lavish overseas trips. (Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States located in the Caribbean Sea.) The Senator was charged with accepting bribes in the form of gifts, most notably trips to the nearby Dominican Republic, where it’s alleged he was provided underaged prostitutes by a doctor named Salomon Melgen. Despite being charged by prosecutors in regards to the trips themselves, Menendez got off easy in a ‘not guilty’ ruling that left many anti-corruption advocates shaking their heads.
Hopefully Menendez will be inclined to act in a more responsible manner on this trip on account of being surrounded by his Democratic colleagues and corporate lobbyist handlers.
The article has more on the weekend frolics. Note the corporate sponsors (lobbyist list here, emphasis mine):
At least 30 Democrats from the House and Senate are said to be kicking back on the island in a trip sponsored by lobbyists from companies like Facebook, Amazon, Comcast and Verizon. They’ll have a chance to view a showing of the hit musical Hamilton, and get acquainted with the show’s cast.
BOLD PAC, a political component of the ethnic-lobby House Hispanic Caucus, is said to have chartered a Boeing 737 to transport visitors to the Caribbean island, still said to be recovering from the effects of Hurricane Maria.
Hmm.
Anyone responding with a ‘So what?’ might consider this:
Back on the mainland, Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia) had this to say:
Federal workers and contractors can ring two numbers to assuage their suffering:
President Trump would agree:
He called time on the Dems:
Things could be shifting on the D side:
Because:
Especially as:
Although this looks as it it is a Democrat standoff with Trump, there is a much larger issue here:
One day, all will be revealed. In the meantime, everyone in the West would do well to pay less attention to the spin from the usual media outlets.
