So a few Dems went to Puerto Rico for the weekend on a planned trip, Pelosi stayed in DC while the Senate leader went home to Kentucky while bills to reopen the government are sitting on his desk and yet Dems are the bad guys here? Wow, what an alternative universe we live in.

Yep, they are when all the say is NO or I WILL GIVE YOU A DOLLAR FOR THE WALL. Completely arrogant, can't be more arrogant. Not a good optic. More reason for #walkaway.

You are correct. Trump is very arrogant. He thinks the whole country supports him. How arrogant is that?

There are 235 Democrats in the House. Thirty-nine (39) of them went to Puerto Rico on a preplanned trip to discuss recovery effort progress for Hurricane Maria. It's a shame that no one in the GOP can give a hoot about their own citizens in the aftermath of a very botched hurricane recovery.
This president doesn't care about Puerto Rico at all. He has considered siphoning off hurricane relief funds earmarked for Puerto Rico for his wall. It's like he doesn't even consider them Americans. What a disgrace.

Please do post at least 2 non-partisan links that confirm your accusations, PLEASE!

I would rail against that without hesitation.

I'm really getting sick of posters broadcasting their "gut feelings" with no proof.

Wait, what?

WHY did they take a vacation disguised as a fact-finding mission, TWO YEARS after the hurricane, during the shutdown?


Are you so jaded that you cannot see, or do not care, about the timing?


THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!


If Trump did anything even remotely like this you would be outraged.


Hypocrite!

Did the Dems throw rolls of paper towels at those who lost everything from the hurricane?

I'm not sure what you consider non-partisan, so here are a bunch of links. It was all over the news. I'm surprised you missed it.

HAHAHAHAHAHA And none even lifted a shovel to help, just watched the Hamilton play and laid out in the sun getting a tan. Hard work if you can get it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Plus it was "pre-paid by tax payers, (you and me), money.
