Yeah, like it was Puerto Rico's fault for attracting those hurricanes. Jebesus what an assswipe we have for a president. Funny we didn't hear that about the Katrina or the others that hit the mainland US.

Like that song by Pete Seeger, 'What did we learn in school today, dear little boy of mine':

I learned that war is not so bad, I've learned of the great ones we have had, we fought in Germany and in France and someday I might get my chance and that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.

We learned that policemen are our friend, we learned that justice never ends. etc.

We learned that congressmen are our friends and we elect them again and again and again and again, that's what we learned in school today, that's what we learned in school.

It's Trump. "Out of whack" means given to non-whites.

If you saw Godfather 1, there was a scene early on before he became godfather, where the local thug demanded payments from businesses and there was this scene where he was with great flourish putting a single dollar in the religious precession going by. Reminded me of Trumpf.

Isn't Puerto Rico looking for Federal help, a bit like looking to get your hospital bills payed with someone else's health plan? I mean they are a tax haven for Americans who don't want to pay Federal tax.
