Donald Trump shames all Americans every damned time he opens his mouth or picks up his phone. And we shame ourselves every day we allow him to continue.

The media just doesn’t get it, they are to only report Trump’s propaganda.

The general who ran the U.S. military relief operation after Hurricane Katrina is among the chorus of critics who now say the delay in getting the U.S. military to Puerto Rico is at the heart of the island’s unfolding humanitarian crisis.

“The Navy and Air Force could have been there Sunday,” Ret. Lt. Gen. Russel HonorĂ© said Thursday to NBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “Could have opened the port, could have opened the air field. Why the hell has it taken this long to do that? That is what we do in the military.”

We’ll hear in the coming days and weeks of how Trump’s unconscionable delay in providing aid for Puerto Rico caused loss of life and unnecessary suffering.

Funny how in both Katrina and Maria, the “other people” suffered the most from the federal government’s mismanagement.

and we thought George W. flying over New Orleans, looking down from AF1, after Katrina was bad optics.

US citizens lives are still at stake - and he tweets up that this is all about the media trying to get him (to look bad)?

As if they are staging the disaster? ala Alex Jones claims about Sandy Hook?

Regular Grotesque Trump behavior? Or are we witnessing a real mental breakdown?

But they do report Trump Propaganda, they just report it along with real news (such as the acting Sec. of HLS statements of praise of the ‘good news’ efforts) - which makes the Trump and his admin look even worse. Then Trump twitter-rages and makes it even worse. Dim Dotard just can’t figure out the gigantic role he plays in making Dotard J Trump look bad.

Whenever Trump is presented with an unscripted opportunity to display compassion, empathy, and humanity 
 he instead opts to take a knee.

Now that Trump has fired Price and put others (Mnuchin, Zinke, Shulkin) in the hot seat, I wonder if any of them are giving the 25th Amendment another glance.

TRump: “Fake news.”

Apparently the Therapy is working!
Let it all out, Mr. President. Remember confession is good for the soul.
Here, sign this. Strictly routine.

Actually, the Mayor of San Juan is a more experienced elected official and public servant than Donald J. Trump. She held her first press conference on the afternoon of the hurricane after herself having accompanied City officials making preliminary assessments of the damage, and specifically addressed the total obliteration of the housing built along the Martin Pena Canal. She is absolutely right in pointing out that the island is only 100 miles by 35 miles, and that by now, basic relief supplies (water, fuel, food) could and should have reached any point on the island by appropriately sized military helicopter. She is showing better, smarter leadership than the thin skinned, sociopathic President of the United States.

The more he fails, the more he lashes out. The more criticism he receives, the more it’s others’ fault. The longer he’s in office, the more damage he does and the longer it will take for the entire country to recover. Mueller, please hurry. Republicans in Congress and the Cabinet - are tax cuts which can be restored, and gutting regulations which can be re-instated really worth it? Yeah, I hear the laughter. And the 30% rube class continues to support him. And another weekend of presidential narcissism begins.

No. Except maybe his generals, and of course (and always) Pence. Guesing Pence is very well versed on the 25th by now, not that he would admit it, even to Mueller.

HonorĂ© on CNN right now. “Won’t dignify Trump’s tweets by responding to them. We have work to do.”

Burn!

He’s right that years of public disinvestment in PR infrastructure and services haven’t helped. Now gosh, I wonder who would be responsible for that.

It’s time to Impeach and Replace. Or perhaps Tranquilizer and Institutionalize. Seriously, this “son of a bitch” needs to go - NOW.:roll_eyes:
