  2. Puerto Rico has received mega-billions in hurricane aid. As usual they want more to compensate for the amounts that were lost to corruption. It's how they roll.


    FBI makes arrests in Puerto Rico corruption scandal, prompting calls for governor’s ouster and concerns about billions in storm aid




    The FBI on Wednesday arrested two former senior officials who served in the administration of Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, leading the chairman of the House committee that oversees Puerto Rico to call for the governor to step down.

    The arrests also spurred concerns on Capitol Hill about the billions of dollars in aid that Congress has approved for the island.

    The federal indictment says the former officials illegally directed federal funding to politically connected contractors. The arrests come about a month after Congress approved a controversial disaster aid bill that earmarked additional funding for Puerto Rico’s recovery from Hurricane Maria in 2017. The aid was tied up in part because President Trump called island officials “incompetent or corrupt.”

  3. This is often asked but you are talking about often poor people with little resources and no where to go. There are 700 islands in the Bahamas and outside of the 3 cities that tourists invade it is poor and not a lot of resources. An American can jump in their car and drive 10 miles inland and be in a safe zone but where are poor people in the islands supposed to go?

    You switch from your usual callous to a Lindsey Graham padding about the Food Lion in slippers saying to anyone who knows him he will give something for the storm victim relief basket (but not actually).

    My friend lives there, his house is hurricane proof as he put money into that over square footage. I've been and offers of emergency housing will be plentiful, half the republican ladies in Florida are already generously posting their breathtakingly kind offers to host a Bahamas family, women and kids first! And if they get an offer to return for many seasons in the future.. Crocodile tears at the finest.

    Trump should buy the Bahamas as he wants his name on something. As Treefrog will agree from his recollection of geography their being next to Canada would upset Trudeau no end.

    Here's the bottom line:
    Hurricane Dorian, every tornado, every earthquake - is because #Orangemanbad.
    This is a scientifically proven fact....

  6. Some people were slaveholders there at one time.

    That just confirms what you said.

    Oh, and "existential threat," DonJr. , Trump Tower, and "did not exonerate."

    Trump is taking money from Puerto Rico’s recovery and European security to fund his wall
    Even West Point and schools for kids are impacted.
