> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Ddamn, **Okrahoma** tripping all over himself in this thread! Seems like he’s having a hard time remembering what his priority goals are or something. This isn’t going to go over well with his handlers back in Russia, IMO. Look, give him a break. He was hired to sow disinformation about Trump/Russia, not to know the diff between a state, a colony, and a territory. But since T/R had become a somethingburger, posting in that thread does little more than raise the issue again. ---

Don’t have a link, but there was a kerfuffle with Iran launching a new, longer range ballistic missile that DJT tweeted about in relation to the whole Iran agreement. Of course, it turns out that it was actually an edited video of a failed Iranian launch from like seven months back. If only Donald had access to a reliable source of information on other countries activities . . . ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > I suspect this is going to be a huge story. BBC World News, today, broadcast an interview with a Puerto Rican official who said that everytime she tries to find out when water or food or fuel might be coming in, she’s told that there’s no one who can tell her because they’re all in planning meetings. (I’m not seeing that story available online yet; maybe tomorrow.) > > Trump’s few tweets about P.R. seem to emphasize that it’s all their own fault: > > [Does Trump care about Puerto Rico's hurricane victims?](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41398263) I see this as one of two things, both bad. 1. Trump doesn’t care, or 2. He is fucking it up on purpose. Now there is a smoke screen about Trump not lifting the Jones Act, which is irrelevant in this situation. His “excuse” is that “A lot of people who are in the shipping industry don’t want it”. What the fuck. The Jones Act had/has to do with foreign ships carrying cargo between US ports. it has nothing to do with emergency disaster aid at all. No food. No water. No power. Hospitals running out of diesel for their generators. We have sent men to the moon and a robot to Mars. But, apparently, a short stretch of ocean stops us dead in our tracks. The United states has the world’s best equipped military. And yet it hasn’t been mobilized to tackle the largest humanitarian crisis to hit American citizens in our history. Why is that? It has to be deliberate. Meanwhile ALL the living past presidents are uniting to do anything they can - George H W Bush and his son George W Bush, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Entertainer Pit Bull donated the use of his private plane and money to help out. Mark Cuban donated the use of his plane and money. Carlos Beltran donated money. Meanwhile Trump continues to race bait pro sports and talks shit about some debt Puerto Rico supposedly owes Wall Street - a debt he personally helped create, to the tune of 3 million dollars in another one of his “grab the money and go bust” golf course scams. ---

His “excuse” is that “A lot of people who are in the shipping industry don’t want it”. What the fuck. The Jones Act had/has to do with foreign ships carrying cargo between US ports. it has nothing to do with emergency disaster aid at all. The Jones Act prevents foreign ships from delivering anything, including emergency disaster aid, from the rest of the US to Puerto Rico. Obviously, this reduces the speed of aid delivery to some extent – perhaps a significant extent, perhaps not, but in any case it’s been routinely suspended for emergencies involving [del]white folks[/del] other regions. ---

Today (7 tweets): “The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump…Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They…want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job. The military and first responders, despite no electric, roads, phones etc., have done an amazing job. Puerto Rico was totally destroyed. Fake News CNN and NBC are going out of their way to disparage our great First Responders as a way to “get Trump.” Not fair to FR or effort! I will be going to Puerto Rico on Tuesday with Melania. Will hopefully be able to stop at the U.S. Virgin Islands (people working hard). The Fake News Networks are working overtime in Puerto Rico doing their best to take the spirit away from our soldiers and first R’s. Shame!” ---
