Trump has killed Americans and there is nothing being done to remove him from office.

As Hurricane Maria made landfall on Wednesday, Sept. 20, there was a frenzy of activity publicly and privately. The next day, President Trump called local officials on the island, issued an emergency declaration and pledged that all federal resources would be directed to help.



But then for four days after that — as storm-ravaged Puerto Rico struggled for food and water amid the darkness of power outages — Trump and his top aides effectively went dark themselves.



Trump jetted to New Jersey that Thursday night to spend a long weekend at his private golf club there, save for a quick trip to Alabama for a political rally. Neither Trump nor any of his senior White House aides said a word publicly about the unfolding crisis.

"The ghosts of MacArthur & his 75,000 troops at Inchon mock you from beneath their white crosses."

On Fox FEMA Administrator Brock Long says hurricane relief for Puerto Rico is
“the most logistically challenging event the US has ever seen”


Joe Scarborough:
What an ignorant, self-absorbed statement. The ghosts of MacArthur & his 75,000 troops at Inchon mock you from beneath their white crosses.

GOPer: Health Care and Food Are Privileges

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told a group of high school students “that they don’t have a right to health care, food and shelter,” WISN reports.

Said Johnson: “I think it’s probably more of a privilege.”

He added: “Do you consider food a right? Do you consider clothing a right? Do you consider shelter a right? What we have as rights is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Past that point, we have the right to freedom. Past that point is a limited resource that we have to use our opportunities given to us to afford those things.”

This is who TELLS US what Patriotism means?

?1506872739

A draft dodging cowardous racist bigot who accidentally got elected as "President" is telling you what his version of what he believes Patriotism is, and you are buying it? A man who ran, rather than ever serve, whose family NEVER served in any military position, ever. A man who let his class mates go and die in his place, while playing baseball, soccer and spending daddies money. A man who used and abused the system for decades to screw his country, the American worker, and the "little guy" so he could take a dump on actual gold toilets? This is who TELLS US what Patriotism means?
