(4,033 posts)I am so bloody pissed off about Puerto Rico I can barely speak. The networks are so damn busy analyzing a bloody Republican primary in Alabama that they don't have time to speak one word about Puerto Rico. Trump gets up and brags about what a wonderful job HE is doing and nobody bothers to call him on it. This from a guy who probably didn't even know the Puerto Rico was a) an island and b) was part of the USA, and c) that Puerto Ricans are US Citizens by birth until somebody cued him in on it recently.
And the truth that nobody dares speak is that the reason that Puerto Rico is not getting aid like Florida or the Houston area is because the population isn't white!!!! So Trump doesn't give a shit! They aren't neo-Nazis, or White Supremacists, or (even worse) they can't vote for him, so he doesn't give a shit. He wouldn't even think about them if his advisors hadn't bullied him into talking about them. He rants about how far in debt Puerto Rico is, and never mentions that HE defaulted on $25 million in municipal bonds when he declared bankruptcy on his golf course that he built with Puerto Rican money. And Congress is going to adjourn on Friday without bothering to pass an aid bill. They got one for Texas, and one for Florida, but the GOP can't be bothered to pass a bill for Puerto Rico.
And the God Dammed MSM can't be bothered to even talk about it! Lets talk about Roger Stone, let's talk about Roy Moore, but for God's sake, let's not talk about a couple of million thousand American citizens who have no food, no water, no gasoline, no insulin, and are begging for help. No, we can't talk about that. Might not get as good ratings as some football player taking a knee!
OK, rant over. I have to go puke and mourn the country that I used to know. I don't know how we as Americans are going to recover from this horrible person.
