1. Horrible.

[spanone]

2. She failed to praise king donald and the entire island is paying the price.

[enough]

4. Exactly. NT

[WinkyDink]

9. In a nutshell. And Trump's the nut. But yeah; play the sycophant game, get what you need, and THEN

wear the "Nasty" T-shirt!

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. I doubt even that would work. He'd pay lip service and then do nothing.

He's that kind of asshole.

[PatSeg]

24. I think that is true

He just had no intention of helping Puerto Rico, but he likes pretending for the cameras.

[Eyeball_Kid]

29. Trumpy is a racist from NYC and HATES Puerto Ricans.

He'd rather that they die. From his POV, the fewer the better. Any way that Trumpy can find to wield POWER over minorities is consistent with his life-long behavior. He's evil.

No, he's not a benevolent person who occasionally does evil things.

He's evil. He's saturated with evil.

[WinkyDink]

30. Good points, esp. the NYC one.

[bitterross]

36. You are sadly correct I fear.

I hate to think it but 45's past actions prove he is just that petty.

[TEB]

3. This is criminal

45 has no soul no empathy pure evil.

[DFW]

5. Trump is still back in the Jets vs. Sharks mentality n/t

[TEB]

8. The man is sick

We have human beings in need and he neglects his duties , Who attacks people after a disaster.

[DFW]

10. Republicans, apparently

They are stuck with this "if something bad happened to you, God meant for it to happen" mentality, and they see no pressing obligation on their part to help out (Christians, my ass).

[Dustlawyer]

15. +1!!! I just read in the Houston Chronicle today that a bill to require re-appraisal of flooded

homes from Harvey died because the legislator who sponsored the bill voted against the Texas bathroom bill. Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick (RW radio talk show host) got his panties in a knot and killed the bill that would have helped Harvey victims.

[TEB]

17. Yet people vote their asses away voting for repugs

Other day my brother and his brother in law both trumptards, go on defensive well repubs and dem all the same. I explained in detail of how wrong they were , they both stopped as in they can't deal with truth or logic.

[DFW]

23. Abbott and Patrick are two of the most evil characters to defile the halls of the Statehouse

If someone manages to transport the two of them in time to the Spanish Inquisition, I can only hope their "conversion" is as slow and as painful as any meted out.

[Plucketeer]

33. God stood by

while his "loved ones" created ever more devastating ways to kill one another as they became "civilized". In one of many sickening, senseless acts of determined care-less-ness God stood silently as one of his creations gone wrong (OR gone Right - since we peons don't possess the whiz-dumb to decipher up-is-downisms!) assembled an arsenal in a lofty Vegas hotel room with the express intent of seeing how many of his fellow, God-built beings he could snuff out with withering sprays of bullets.

[maddiemom]

41. Mentally, Trump always needs someone to feud with.

He thrives on it so that he can fling his nasty insults and name-calling around. This is not a well man. Hopefully the rest of the world (Kim, hopefully, could even get more mature) is better than this.

[Afromania]

6. For gods sake..... If America ever doesn't come out and gut punch these assholes right the hell out

of office next year and every year after that..... I feel sick.

[Achilleaze]

7. k and r

[dembotoz]

11. whenever a gop asshole goes right to life we need to yell bullshit and point out the hypocracy

they do this cause they get away with it

[ClusterFreak]

12. Let them eat paper towels. n/t

Do I have to? Oh alright just to cover my ass....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. Beautiful, soft paper towels.

The best paper towels.

[Whiskeytide]

48. Many people didnt know that they have towels made of paper. n/t

[Thrill]

16. They should have really said the problems on TV

While he was there. And not praised him while they were at that meeting.

[bronxiteforever]

18. The media needs to be the voice of Puerto Rico

Or else it will be completely forgotten.

[spiderpig]

19. Many of you must have seen the clip of The Moron making fun

of pronouncing "Puerto Rico".

If you haven't seen it, it's not self-deprecating as in "I really could pronouce it this way". It was ridiculing the accent, just as he publically ridiculed the disabled reporter.

There's really nothing about his conduct that hasn't already been said. He is vile.

[SHRED]

21. I haven't seen it

Do you have a link?

[spiderpig]

25. Here's one

[maddiemom]

42. Even Dubya, who was pretty clueless in terms of empathy, and apparently a bully as a kid,

looks like a saint, compared to Trump. I wouldn't thought you could get more cluelessly cruel than to mock a woman on death row. Trump, has shown a thirst for executing even accused miscreants and is quick to defame those who disagree with him. The "lock her up" thing toward an opponent is far beyond the norm. The "swift boaters" were beyond the norm, but at least Bush didn't jump on their meme. Had it been Trump, he would have used it in every speech.

[spiderpig]

43. Yes. If you haven't read it, The Sociopatch Next Door by Martha Stout

describes to a T people like The Moron. To them, other humans are no different from any inanimate object - a chair, a table, a ham sandwich.

He also reminds me of the great NBC series Hannibal, where the cannibal's shrink describes him putting on his "person suit". I think of that when The Dotard thinks he's being cute and fails bigly.

[femmocrat]

20. Saw her on TV yesterday.

She said they have received a lot of supplies from private donors and gladly share with the smaller towns. Nothing from FEMA.

Heckofa job, Who-ever-is-in-charge.

[Not Ruth]

55. San Juan has received nothing from FEMA and everyone in the ICU died

This needs to be tweeted by the mayor a hundred times a day

[Bleacher Creature]

26. But Trump said he got an A+ on the PR efforts? NT

[ancianita]

27. This is nothing less than agonizing. I'm so angry.

[usaf-vet]

28. Puerto Rico residents. You have become a clear example of

how little the current U.S. government cares about you.
You are U.S. Citizens and deserve far better.

One of the key reasons they don't care is you don't get to vote in presidential elections. So you are no threat to them.

I wish you could all temporally move to Florida by 2020 and do two things 1 buy guns and two register to vote. Doing those to things will at least insure the Florida GOP won't sleep at night.

They don't want gun control... unless dark skin folks are arming themselves and........

They know that you could easily change Florida to a blue state and elect a democratic president who would care about all Americans.

31. Reason for IMPEACHMENT # 2,546 nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

32. Some good news snips from PR (CBS)

This CBS News correspondent seems to keep good track of progress there. Scroll down to his post from Saturday see his summary. Also, he shows some good info on Hurricane Nate damages on the Gulf:

https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud

(snip)
.US Navy Ship "Comfort" (hospital) has been sailing counter-clockwise from San Juan to Ponce, making stops at 5-6 locations along the way

FEMA has distributed satellite phones to mayors of each Puerto Rican municipality, & mobile cellular telephone capability is being deployed

Tanker trucks in Puerto Rico are providing drinking water to each of the 78 municipalities, daily, according to the U.S. Defense Dept.

In Puerto Rico: 10.7% of customers have electricity 47% (+9%) of customers have drinking water (boiling orders remain in effect)

There's telecommunication & radio conductivity at all Puerto Rican hospitals, municipal police depts. 50 of 69 hospitals have landline service

Google gets green light to fly 30 balloons over Puerto Rico & U.S. Virgin Islands to provide cellular connectivity

Today we expanded our #ChefsForPuertoRico paella operation with a pop-up kitchen in Barrio Amelia in Guaynabo! 5,000 people served here!!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

34. What I would like to know is....

where the hell are the voices of Puerto Rico's governor Rossello and Representative Gonzalez, speaking up about ongoing difficulties, as the mayor has?

When I look at their Twitter pages, all I see is a lot of pie in the sky photo ops, mostly of them - and mostly in meetings under squeaky clean conditions.

Why do these people white-wash and politicize a disaster?

[SHRED]

35. My guess...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[bluestarone]

37. yep

4sure

[KY_EnviroGuy]

39. Makes sense, looking at PR political history.

A not so distant cousin to Brazil in that regard.

[Tatiana]

45. The governor has to ingratiate himself in order to secure federal support.

He knows the deal with Trump. He is trying not to antagonize him. Notice that Mayor Cruz does not have any negative words for the governor. She knows the deal.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

46. Good perspectives, thank you.

It's just strange to us non-political types that we see stories of ground-level suffering that are still significant (and have seen this with almost all disasters), yet the top politicians make it sound like everything's coming up roses. Thanks goodness we have some media organizations to help counter-balance that trend of hubris - particularly with reactionary people like Trump on office.

[Skittles]

47. they are too busy kissing Trump ass

they know that is a requirement to receive assistance from this piece of shit "president"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

50. What a crime on our democracy...

when local politicians fear retribution for simply relaying any negative facts from the ground in an emergency. I keep reminding myself it's been almost a month since the hurricane struck, and there are people still without adequate food and water.

Republican's attitude of let the cards fall where they may and deal with the consequences later is killing a lot of folks. Laissez-faire is a very nice philosophy to adhere to when you're among the ultra-rich.

[Skittles]

53. it is a DISGRACE

meanwhile the orange piece of shit is golfing and whining about football players and what late night comedians say about him

[KY_EnviroGuy]

54. Skittles, I think it's intentional distraction.

A normal prez would tell us the truth about what's going on in PR and have his subordinates provide accurate periodic progress updates to the public - say for water and food, infrastructure, etc. Instead, we're seeing not much more than his tweets in the news which are mean, cruel and mostly lies. As you know, this guy ain't normal. It's like trying to listen to opera with a jackhammer in the room.

I've believed all along that tRump does not orchestrate these responses, but instead has a group of very sharp and coordinated minders that design his responses for maximum confusion, distraction and anger in his opposition (that would be us) and the press, as well as feed red meat to his base.

Therefore, we're constantly distracted from the truth of what's really going on there.

For some relief form his bullshit, here's a link to a guy that really does know the story. His father is in one of the worst-hit areas: https://twitter.com/NelsonMRosario
(scroll down a ways and you can see some reality. Click on his posts and see the included discussions)

[Skittles]

56. the guy is a fucking moron

he'd be tweeting crap whether or not he needed a distraction

he's a narcissistic piece of SHIT

there is no one coordinating anything, TRUMP INC is in chaos because they are UNFIT AND UNQUALIFIED FOR THE JOB

[shenmue]

38. Help

[dlk]

40. "Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned"

[bdamomma]

44. This shell of a person

does not give a shit about Americans only himself. He learned from his father who was racist.

He is the biggest BS artist. He is a disgrace period. He has ruined this country with bullying and total stupidity.

Puerto Rico and the other US Virgin Islands are suffering badly. Everyone knows this, he needs his a$$ to be thrown out.

[Demtexan]

49. How many body bags will it take.

Our military could make all the safe water needed.

[Historic NY]

51. So where is the media down there they have Sat. Phones...

and can get out video.

[Crash2Parties]

52. Meanwhile, FEMA has stated they are blocking communications from her...
