Goddamit! Invade Puerto Rico! Send in the troops, the cargo planes, the “MASH” units, everything we got and everything we can beg or borrow! There is no possible excuse for Americans dying from water-borne diseases except if we have done everything humanly possible. The military has medical supplies and trained people, bulldozers, engineers, and dedicated personnel. Do it, goddamit, just Do It! If it fails, we still learn something we will likely need to know again. What is better, clearing roads that exist, or cutting quick and dirty paths just good enough for trucks. So on and so forth. Hell, I’ll even cheer for some chin-jutting ironass giving a gung-ho speech! “The enemy is American suffering,misery and death. Go and kill the enemy!” Whatever it takes. I will personally install a flagpole by my double-wide, raise the flag every morning, take it down every night, pledge allegiance three times, and even sing that god-awful song! But Goddamit! These are our people, and if they are not our people, who’s people are they? If it was the Iranians or the Belgians doing this shit to us, we would be on them like Trump on cake! ---

[MSNBC host and former Republican former Congressman Joe Scarborough has made his departure from the GOP official.](https://apnews.com/8e084c5dd79842d881562670566b71fb/'Morning-Joe'-host-Scarborough-officially-leaves-GOP) > [@](#): > > The “Morning Joe” anchor said on Twitter on Thursday that he became an independent and he added a picture of himself with an elections official in New Canaan, Connecticut, smiling while holding a form. > [@](#): > > Scarborough announced that he would leave the party in July and accused Republicans of abandoning their fiscal principles. Scarborough has been a fierce critic of President Donald Trump, who has targeted Scarborough and his fiancee and co-host Mika Brzezinski on Twitter. So it looks like Trump has pissed off Mr. Scarborough enough for him to disavow his life-long political affiliation. ---

Just the headline “Lord Dampnut delivers remarks at Values Voter summit”. You can say “Fuck you! I’ve got mine!” without embodying values. Evil but not hypocritical. You could go for an ostentatiously-pure guy like Pence, and whatevs. I might not agree with trading the destruction of the government for some symbolic purity, but okay. But the SCROTUS embodies fucking VALUES? Seriously? Are you high? ---

But not enough to do it now rather than July. Gives him time to lose his senses again. ---

Signing an EO to destabilize the health insurance markets, not even just for ACA participants but probably everyone, while smiling that smug asshole smile of his and then trying to pretend like the Democrats caused all the problems by saying they should call him. There are not enough curse words for this. And he’s going to get away with every smarmy thing he does because even if he burns down the country, he and the GOP will blame it on Democrats and somehow millions will believe them. ---

And he’s doing it for the millions. Keeping a stupid campaign promise. Even though most of the Trumpsters will be hurt more than anyone. He’s like [Slim Pickens](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slim_Pickens#/media/File%3ASlim-pickens_riding-the-bomb_enh-lores.jpg) on that rocket, and he doesn’t care who’s riding on it with him.
