At that point fuck American democracy. There has got to be a better system of government where morons dont have that much say.

at that point?

It's not been working for putting Trump in office to begin with.

 

[Amalthea]

Trump better take care he don't touch that stuff out of packaging or he'll will be gone in a few hours.

 

[Etzer]

Oh for fucks sake...

Yep. My aunt is in Ciales and was able to call my mom in Connecticut yesterday to ask her to fill out the online form for her.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Has anyone broached the notion that he will almost certainly be charging forth into full-blown dementia ala Reagan by then?

Hell, I think he's already there.

I didn't want to vote for Hillary for the same reason, of course dementia Hillary is still better than dementia Trump so I made the obvious choice.

This man will never understand the concept of "what it is like to lose your home or anything you worked for gone?".

This man will never understand the concept of "what it is like to lose your home or anything you worked for gone?".

This man is in desperate need of a reality check. Hopefully Trading Places style. That's a reality show I would watch.

Are you sure about that?

And then, you know, not trade them back.

Fool me once

Things are not well here. The places he visited, while devasted, is nowhere near as bad as the center of the island which is in a really bad situation.

I can, at least, say that I'm fine personally.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Donald Trump is a fucking monster.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Ugh.

I feel like the people in that video who probably are great guys doing the best with what they have to work with probably hate Trump using their efforts for his own self-fellatio.

"with so little appreciation."

Got to be shitting me.

 

[Vena]

At the very least he's stupid enough (because he's too inept to do anything) constantly bringing it back up for the US at large to remember they have people suffering because of his ineptitude and that maybe they can help. He's so desperate for "I did it good!" self-patting on the back that he keeps bringing up things that make him look like the inept, heartless monster that he is and people keep being reminded of it. PR isn't somehow better, the people of PR still need help, and at the very least his circus of a petulant child will keep us aware of this fact because he isn't doing jackshit.

He just did this with the NFL too that the US/media had moved to past by having Pence playing charades in the public spotlight again, completely tone-deaf to the affects of his actions.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

"with so little appreciation."

Got to be shitting me.

Nobody could have done it!

 

[Y2Kev]

I imagine the NFL stuff polls pretty well. Ain't nobody think he did a good job in Puerto Rico.

 

[thewaffles]

I honestly thought he could no longer surprise me with this type of toddler shit. This is insane.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

So what did he actually do besides toss things around?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

So what did he actually do besides toss things around?

He learned you could purify drinking water.

 

[GK86]

"What a weak ass standing ovation. No FEMA help for you."

 

[geomon]

I wish he could be trapped there for one week, just one week. Just get a taste for what it feels like.

 

[Linkura]

Oh my fucking God.

Jones Act waiver for Puerto Rico expired Sunday, not being extended: DHS

The Jones Act waiver for Puerto Rico expired Sunday night and will not be extended, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson.

Homeland issued the waiver of the Jones Act on Sept. 28, after a request by Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello and pressure from lawmakers, including Senator John McCain and U.S. Representative Nydia Velazquez.

A whole 11 days. Thanks, that's really awesome, fuckers.

Maybe Trump should read this article: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/4/16385658/puerto-rico-taxes-hurricane

Very informative.

Puerto Rico pays billions of federal taxes each year

Puerto Rico is a US territory and not a state, so its residents don’t pay federal income tax unless they work for the US government. Even so, workers there pay the majority of federal taxes that Americans on the mainland pay — payroll taxes, social security taxes, business taxes, gift taxes, estate taxes and so on.
The recent economic crisis on the island has put a huge dent in the federal tax revenue collected from Puerto Rico, but it still added up to $3.6 billion in fiscal year 2016. That’s not much less than some states where residents do pay income tax: Vermont and Wyoming paid $4.5 billion in federal taxes that year.
