Trump hates Puerto Rico

So let's hear your prescription for Puerto Rican economic renewal, genius.

It's easy to stand back and take pot shots- but that's the act of a coward.

Let's see you put real solutions on the table.

Fema needs a lesson from KBR on how to perform on a moments notice.

This is premeditated incompetence.

You're just as much of a simpleton as ever.

I suppose you didn't notice the whole thing about independence and even the one word post, "descolonizar". That is to be expected since you probably have a "white man's burden" approach to every country's problems.

In fact I'd bet it never crossed your mind that climate change is as much a symptom of capitalism as colonialism is. Puerto Rico does not need your dumb fucking ideas.

Not one solution anywhere in there.

And you call others incompetent?

Since white American men are in fact the direct cause of so many of their problems, indeed I would say that is our responsibility as Americans to help solve them.

FYI; they voted for Statehood in both of the latest referendums. Did none of your relatives mention that?

Damn, you're stupid.

L2read berntard.

Seriously, you bernouts have trouble getting past your irrational reactions based on chemical imbalance.

We're essentially in agreement except for your focus on the hype regarding the Jones Act. I even said that it was unacceptable. I also said that the Jones Act was not actually the primary reason for PR not distributing aid that was sitting on the docks.

The GOP has wanted excuses for a long time to waive it or scrap it. The hurricanes provided that.

By focusing on bullshit, you're ignoring the germaine facts. Funny you'd call me a "repug shill" when you were the one falling for GOP bait.

"Why not PR" sure, I agree, they hate Puerto Ricans. The Jones Act had nothing to do with the undistributed aid that sat on the docks. Nor did it have anything to do with the massive military occupation currently underway on the island. Keep focusing on the distraction though, idiot.

Not really. I find Bernouts to be even more misinformed than Paulbots.

I agree... his hardcore support I'm sure applaud it as Puerto Rican's speak Mexican and have Mexican sounding names...

But the soccer mom who tends to vote GOP may have second thoughts... the average joe who's not hardcore but votes GOP cuz he owns a small biz making him think he needs to be a republicunt... they may...

I will admit that Katrina helped me break away from being a conservative. I was raised liberal but became a religious conservative in high school, college, and early adulthood. I for that period voted GOP for "family values" reasons (makes me gag now). But seeing W's apathy to the largely minority Katrina victims enraged me and began (along with other discomforts) my journey to being a self chosen left wing progressive.

So I'm hoping out of this tradgedy, some of the good that could come from it is other people like me seeing behind the veil of conservative bulkshit lies... that they truly are a party completly dedicated to the 1% but needs to make a veil of reasons to get non 1%ers to vote for them. The veil is a lie, I seen it, hope others do to

I'm a bit more cynical about the agenda of American news outlets these days. They don't seem to run stories that might displease their corporate masters.

And for the record, they have.

Blaming others for your own ignorance on a subject won't get you very far.

I also feel this is part of trumps or his hidden handlers plan. His vicious cold hearted attack on the San Juan Mayor,reguardless of her critique, is a bully method. It's reported other mayors feel same way but are scared to speak out because they fear attack back by retaliation or not helping them the way they could.

This is the conditioning an evil narcissistic genius is pulling on us. Either he plays dumb and is a genius or there's a hidden handler that is a genius. He conditions leaders such as mayors or governors even when they have a critique, demand, or complaint to learn to package it as a compliment... over time the masses will hear more and more compliments and the fickle majority will be suckered into thinking he's become really good even tho he seemed not so good in beginning... he's basically forcing ppl like mayors or governors in crisis to be propaganda machines for him, out of their concern for their citizens immediate need...

This is how he wins a second term and his chosen successor wins a third n fourth and we become like the counties he has praise for their leaders: authoritarian ones

And yet some folks wills say they never seen it coming! This is avoidable but also very possible....

Congress won't approve PR statehood for the same reasons they won't approve DC statehood. They don't see them as equals. They also don't want them to have representation.

DC is an even clearer example of inaction. DC residents pay federal taxes. Yet, they aren't represented in congress. Their population exceeds that of Vermont and Wyoming and other small states. They have voted several times for statehood as well.

But those are mostly black citizens. Also not worthy of republican support.
