Perhaps it's time to call for he impeachment of the President of Puerto Rico? Clearly, whoever they are, they aren't doing their job!

Humph!
I would have thought that given the sort of destruction you get on land from a hurricane that it would actually be easier to move supplies across a body of water...?

It is the ultimate non-excuse. It is a huge "F*** you" to the 3 million American citizens in Puerto Rico.

Indeed; I do wonder how long it will be before the media starts - if they haven't already - suggesting the most likely reason* Trump isn't interested in helping the Puerto Ricans?
*Already being thrown around on Twitter and no doubt other social media sites as well.

Oh, there's no doubt about it - if they were rich and/or white he'd be all over it.

Puerto Ricans don't have voting representatives in Congress.
And if they did, they'd be Democrats.
For that reason, as with Washington DC, the GOP have no interest in helping. Plus they're on an island out in the ocean that half the country doesn't even know is America.
But if Puerto Rico decided to liberalise abortion laws, the GOP would be all over it.

I have decided that from now on, I shall refer to him as P45...
Problem is, real life is actually 'funnier'.

It just never ends does it. Yet still no-one seems to be seriously doing anything to stop someone, obviously suffering a paranoia breakdown, from being in command of "the most powerful" country.
Even British politicians could do more - he tells brazen lies about British crime statistics, to make a cheap anti-Muslim jibe and we just sit and accept it, despite every media report pointing out that what he has said being simply untrue.
I like to imagine than in a decade, when we look back on the idiocracy that was Trump's time in office, those in power who did not stand up against him or call him on his BS, will be called appeasers and viewed in the same way as the politicians who tolerated Hitler and Stalin in the 1930s. Baffled children will ask in school, why so many just stood by and let a man who starts fights with war widows on Twitter and spends every day claiming that CNN is out to get him, be President.

Donald Trump insulted the wife of a fallen soldier few days ago. Donald Trump did not know the name of the soldier and said to wife that the soldier knew what risk he had taken as a soldier. This Donald Trump has a total lack of empathy. In defence of Donald Trump he denies it, but there was a (Democratic) witness in her car as the phonecall came in.

There is no defending the indefensible. To disparage and callously insult a fallen solider & his grieving widow in such a heartless, unfeeling manner is, quite frankly, disgusting.

Amazing that his core base still apparently consider him a Paragon of American virtue.
It is also very amusing that he was talking to an extremist (according to the Southern Poverty Law Centre) Christian group and they welcomed him with open arms, despite the fact his two divorces have cited extra-marital affairs.
Yet Obama continually had his faith challenged and questioned and continually had his patriotism questioned, despite being faithfully married and never insulting and soldiers or their families. Almost like there was something different about Obama, that made some people dislike him, regardless of his character or achievements...

I can't think what it could be, but there's definitely some kind of black and white difference in the attitudes towards Obama and Trump.
Mabey if someone can cover him in bathroom cleaner then that might get rid of him, well it's designed to get rid of scum and I'm sorry but the person who treats a grieving widow who's late husband is trying to protect the country he is supposed to be running in such an insulting matter is scum.
It just got harder for Donald Trump to get his tax reform passed in Congress as it's unlikely he'll get Jeff Flake's vote:
Jeff Flake: Republican senator quits with attack on Trump

A Tennessee senator whose name I didn't catch has also launched a verbal attack on Trump. Ultimately, though, the attempt to stop his name going forward for the 2020 election will probably rest on the efforts of George W. Bush and the men in suits. I never thought I'd offer three cheers for Dubya!
This is just Flake news NajaB.

What this whole affair has taught us is that partisanship is the most powerful force in politics, as is cowardice. Trump is now meeting with people he plans to nominate for US Attorney. No president has ever done that before. The three he's met are 1) an associate in his lawyer's firm; 2) an associate in Rudy Guiliani's law firm; 3) someone who was on the Apprentice. And the districts those three cover? 1) Southern district of New York (Trump Tower); 2) Eastern District of New York (chez Kushner); 3) Southern District of Florida (Mar a Lago). It's truly impressive how corrupt he and his administration are, and how the GOP are entirely uninterested in any sort of oversight. I just have to thank god that the Trump administration is also, for the most part, incredibly incompetent. Just imagine what someone who knew what they were doing could do with this much laissez faire.
Sorry, I forgot, the GOP have decided to do some oversight: they're going to start investigating Hillary Clinton again!
