She laughed at his "your suffering fucked up our budget!" joke.
The worst part about celebrating death tolls right now is PR hasn't updated its death count in nearly a week due to uncertainly.
16 Is likely not accurate and we won't know for months.

That's pretty much what she's thinking about everyday.

He must be the giant alien cockroach from MIB wearing a human skin suit. Otherwise, I can't parse how someone is this BAD at acting human.

I mean.... that summarises the relationship between PR and Mainland US perfectly.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
This whole thing has me numb. I have estranged family in PR. It's mad me feel lesser than knowing I can't be of much support. Meanwhile, The president can just land there and make sociopathic statements to people's faces.
I don't understand why we're still allowing this. I'm not entirely sure how to process it.

I would've accepted the offer, only for the chance of punching him in the throat.

Literally not true.
Trump got 62,979,636 votes. The US population in 2017 is 324,459,463.
I'd also be remiss not to mention that Hillary Clinton got 65,844,610 votes. Almost 3 million more than Trump.

I legit want to hear someone defend Trump and his handling of Puerto Rico.
I want to know what lies they're telling themselves to defend what is, honestly, some of the worst leadership this country has experienced.

So basically Tiffany Trump.

You don't get to bring friends.
I imagine it's one of these:
"He said they're doing fine! They just want hand outs"
"That's what you get for not paying Wall Street"
"You mean they're Americans? But they're brown"

It's easy. They already gave them mountains of aid, didn't you see the pictures of the mayor of San Juan with the palettes? You don't even have to jump through that many mental hoops if you take a completely biased viewpoint from the beginning.

If my facebook is anything to go by, it's that the media is lying about how bad it is, and the response has actually been fine.
Wow, straight out of Putin's handbook.

The hell? Thats not fucking fair keeping the mayor of a major US territory, that just went through a major disaster, from speaking on behalf of it.
At the same time I dont feel surprised.

If they come to the mainland, they can. There was a thread here earlier about a Republican strategist worrying that evacuees settling in Florida could tilt the state from "Swing" to "Leans Blue."
Or if Congress accepts their bid for statehood, which this Congress will probably never even bring up for vote.

I guess I just want to believe the best of people.
It's disheartening, to say the least.
