There He Goes Again: Trump’s Demented, Racist Saturday Morning Puerto Rico Tweetstorm
This time, King Joffrey attacks the mayor of San Juan as ungrateful. Oh, and Puerto Ricans are lazy too. Seriously.

Keep in mind that nothing Donald Trump does is surprising anymore. He has lost the power to shock, even as he continues to appall. And yet, his early Saturday morning tweetstorm attacking the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulín Cruz, carved out a new low even for him.

It was, of course, predictable that criticism of the Trump administration’s pitifully inadequate response to Hurricane Maria by a woman – and a brown woman at that – would trigger our Joffrey Baratheon into a rage. Trump lacks impulse control on a good day, but can hardly contain himself when dressed down by a woman. Throw in his natural instincts on race, and you have the perfect Breitbart grievance cocktail. Perhaps Trump can offer it in a dirty glass at one of his tacky hotel bars.

1. I'm not shocked by Dump anymore

but I do keep saying over and over when he tweets or says something outrageous, that "I didn't think it could get worse. It just got worse."

And I'm afraid it will get worse, again and again, until we find a way to get him out of our house.
