There was a time when there was enough intelligence in their ranks to keep such individuals to backroom power maneuvering because they knew it would fall flat if their beliefs became public. But, the MAGA group is all about letting it all hang out these days. They love how he talks.

History will remember this era in the same way that it talks about the McCarthy era.

If the truth coms out this will be known as the time when a traitorous criminal was hired by a hostile foreign country to disrupt the world, destroy America and promote the interest of Russia, not us. If the truth doesn't come out, it will be because we are no longer America in any real sense because our constitution and way of life will have been destroyed.

JESUS H FUCKING CHRIST


The people in PR are now getting sick, soon they will be dying! They are thirsty, hungry, sick, tired and reeling from the lost of of just about everything they own. How in the name of anything holy does he expect anything to get done with everything pretty much trashed. There is no there, there. How the fuck do you get anything done with zero, that is ZERO(0%), remaining infrastructure??? How? HOW??

He talks about how it's an island surrounded by water, and it' s so, so very hard to get supplies there??? Well you festering fucking sack of pus that's exactly why it's so difficult for them to get things going. If it wasn't on the island when the hurricane hit they don't have it. Just like everybody else in the modern world, they use just in time logistics. That shit doesn't work so damn well when a few supply routes are cut. How the fuck do you think it's going to work when everything is completely demolished??? The answer is it doesn't work, it doesn't work one fucking bit. You can have all the supplies in the world but if the normal delivery methods are gone and you don't have the available resources to go around(or over in this case) the problem. That stuff isn't going to get to where it needs to be. He claims he's a business man so he should know this shit works in triplicate, backwards and on skates. He's not shit, knows nothing and needs to go somewhere quiet and leave the the job in the hands of an actual caring, intelligent competent human.

Then, THEN, THEN with the people of PR doing the best they can to survive on nothing, with nothing, in the type of conditions that would be difficult for even the most staunch of individuals. This stupid facsimile of functional a human being has the unmitigated fucking gall to then question these peoples resolve but to then rub salt in the wound by acting like they were sitting around doing nothing until mainland forces arrived. They are part of this goddamncountry you bloated piece of evil orange shit. They shouldn't have to ask for a thing, you should be on your job and have shit in place and ready to go from the start. You didn't talk any of this garbage about SE Texas or Florida.

I hate this guy with every fiber in my body, if you support him I now hate you too. This fucking pieces of retrograde trash don't even have any kind of decency, no compassion, no heart, no soul. You, and your "leader" fucker are all nothing but rudderless husks. Any humanity they claimed only feigned and imitated. Him, and them, are irredeemable uncaring, soulless republican drone automatons.

If you are not as pissed as I am, no not pissed, I'm seething. If you are seething at how uncaring his piece of garbage is and how he's treating his own citizens then you simply aren't a good human. There is no excuse, there is no reason or rational to explain this away. There is no leeway anymore, for any of them and anybody propping up that shit up can go straight to hell.

This stands out for me: "...want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort."

Just take that in. The racism drips from every word.

The real story this morning is that Trump is a sick and unbalanced man who is being protected and enabled by republicans in Washington. Republicans are sacrificing the good of the nation for a tax cut. They have demonstrated that they are not patriots.

Mayor Cruz has shown to the world that she is the definition of a true leader. She should wear this attack as a badge of honor.

I remember the pictures of the School Busses in the flooded parking lot. Media never did mention that there were not enough drivers, or that the roads out of New Orleans would have resulted in a couple hundred busses loaded with evacuees would have been riding out a Category 4 storm stuck in traffic.

It makes me wonder why some in the media haven't gone to Naval Station Norfolk (where I am today), and snapped a bunch of pictures of all our "big, beautiful, powerful, gleaming" ships tied up to the piers.

Check out Mayport, FL base as well, and you might want to check San Diego and Everett, WA too. It would take some time, but once you get there, it's only about a 12-14 hour Sea and Anchor Detail to get through the Panama Canal.

This should have been "all hands on fucking deck". As many people as our ships and planes could have carried should have been boat and airlifted off PR before the storm even hit.

We can ground 10's of thousands of flights in the United States in a matter of hours on 9/11, but we can't get ships and planes to PR?

Of the infrastructure were still somewhat working. I had food and water. But still it all gets to you after a while. The destruction everywhere, the inconvenience, the heat, the long nights waiting for sunrise so you can start all over again and hope that you start to see something normal again. I cannot fathom how demoralizing and heartbreaking it is to lose EVERYTHING you own and compound that with the death and destruction everywhere you look like the people of Puerto Rico are facing. But the comments by tRump were just unnecessay and cruel. He has no capacity for just plain human decency. How can you kick people when they are down like that?

He has cooked his own goose. Yes, some will defend what he has said about the Puerto Ricans but the vast majority of us are feeling empathy for them and are heartbroken at their loss. He may not regret what he has said but we won't forget it. He will forever be tainted by his cruel and vicious comments about the people of Puerto Rico who also happen to be American citizens.

I know he is a sick man, incapable of normal human emotions. But damn. Even if he had to fake it, just keep his sickening thoughts to himself, can he not do that? Since he is so interested in what is good for HIM, can he not see how destructive those comments are to him?? Just count me in the baffled. I just can't even begin to understand how you get to be 71 years old and not figure out that saying these awful things about people who have been devastated will not work in his favor. Just shaking my head.....

He will never have a shred of human decency. He is incompetent, unfit, unfit, unfit to serve in any capacity requiring accountability. It is a sign of denial to act as if he will do anything that does not benefit him. Remember all the football posts? A distraction. Another attempt at destruction. Who gives a shit what a mentally ill person thinks about football or taking a knee. Every public figure should respond to his criticism with the appropriate reference to his mental state. I think the energy would be better spent writing/calling repub reps/media in an all out campaign to remove him, frame him from his illness. Rule no. 1-perps all blame the victim. We are looking at his ugly sick sadism. You can make yourself crazy trying to deal with these types so it's important to keep a perspective.
