Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., released a letter from the FEMA director that stated more than 2,000 Puerto Ricans applied for funeral assistance in the wake of the hurricane. The agency approved just 75. Those are real people: those who died, and those who loved them. ---

Here’s your problem: you think any of this applies to Trump. The facts are: He is not a person who is loved. He is not a person who loves. He is not really a person. And, lastly–and sadly, He is not dead. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > Without a doubt. > > His fans will love his dismissal of the lives of Puerto Ricans (brown people! clearly worth less!) The question is, will all independents be similarly thrilled? I’ve actually seen and heard such condemnations of Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans. The common themes are: it’s their own fault, the US “should let their own government take care of it”, and–the biggie–it’s not fair that Trump has to deal with Puerto Rico because they’re all foreigners. ---

Donald Trump genuinely believes that this is the way the world works: when a storm tosses a boat on to your property, that means that you get to keep the boat. He really is a case of arrested development. If he believes that “finders keepers” is a thing, what are his views on cooties, stepping on cracks, and the tooth fairy? ---

Ask just about any seven-year-old, and he’ll be glad to tell you. ---

If he believes that “finders keepers” is a thing, what are his views on cooties, stepping on cracks, and the tooth fairy? Either he thought it was finders keepers; or he thought he was being funny – just some light-hearted banter. He was wrong either way, of course. (The evidence against the second option is that Trump has never said anything funny in his life.) ---

It’s Republican humor, it doesn’t require “funny”. It requires someone getting fucked over. In this case, the guy who lost his boat. ---

Yeah, it’s actually a pretty funny joke if it is neighbors comparing storm damage. Both houses damaged, but one has a"free" boat. Not really so much when it comes from someone who has influence over how the recovery goes. ---

If I was helping a buddy clean up, I might, at some point jokingly say something like that. Not something the CIC should say. But that pretty much goes for anything that comes out of his mouth. ---

Il Douche says if a young Brett K’s sexual assault was bad enough, _of course_ the girl would’ve called the cops: [Trump unleashes on Kavanaugh accuser | CNN Politics](https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/21/politics/donald-trump-brett-kavanaugh-accuser-tweets/index.html) ---

Something like: I’ve done stuff like that hundreds of times. Nobody’s ever called the cops. Of course, by definition if I do it it’s not a crime. Ergo: nothing to see here. ---
