Kelly has to assume the role of President when events dictate he insert himself and correct/rein in Trump. As does Mulvaney, Pence, Tillerson, Haley, Ross and others. We have a dozen Presidents always tasked with stopping the goddamn dog from barking and herding his mouthy ass into the kennel, throwing him a bone to chew on for distraction.

Especially since wiping out PR’s debt would make sense.

He meant that they could still sell plasma or copper pipes and wire from their homes. Resources are still available.

Wiping out modern debt seems to involve giving lots and lots of money to lenders. That’s the gamble in places like Venezuela. That no matter the absurdity of the bond terms, it would always be played back first.

Let’s see who makes money off Trump’s clean slate with PR.

Of course he didn’t mean it. That would likely involve helping the poor, working- and middle-classes instead of the bankers and Wall Street. Makes no sense at all!

Nick Mulvaney spoke with the press… after recovering from a gagging fit when he was choking on the Dotard’s words.

According to the world of Mulvaney:

  • Debt is a problem when you are a teaparty congressman with a black, democrat president.

  • Debt is a good thing when you are a WH budget director trying to push through MAJOR decreases in tax revenues (ala Gigantic tax cuts for the wealthy).

  • However, debt is a bad thing when caused/exacerbate by congress and former tax policies - and is carried by a foreign country Territory inhabited by brown people.

Come on Mulvaney, just call him a moron and be done with it. We all get it. We really do.

“Puerto Rico’s going to have to figure out how to fix the errors that its made for the last generation on its own finances.”


I'm sure they have funding sources. They just have to get creative.

I think we should make sure he knows Obama wouldn’t wipe out Puerto Rico’s debt.

For Republicans everything is a problem when brown people are involved. I’m sure Trump is working on a travel ban to fix that.

Why don’t they just announce a 24 hour embargo on everything Dear Leader says? Don’t take anything he says as true or official until his staff and cabinet have a chance to correct it or walk it back.

Well that’s better than where Trump himself goes when he’s short on cash.

Translated : Don’t ever listen to POTUS. He doesn’t have any clue what he’s talking about. And that’s true for everything.

Pretty hilarious when evil leprechaun Mulvaney, second only to the other evil leprechaun Sessions in agreeing with every nutball commen fearless leader makes, is now having to do his own desperate Trumpsplaining

A mistake is unintentional, did he at any point back track to offer a correction or otherwise do anything to indicate that wasn’t an intentional misstatement? No? Then all we know is that he said something untrue with no indication if it was a mistake or an intentional lie.
