Trump attacks ‘nasty’ San Juan mayor and accuses Puerto Rico workers of being lazy in vicious tweet frenzy

President Donald Trump launched an early morning Twitter attack on the mayor of San Juan, saying she is being manipulated by the Democratic Party, and told to be “nasty” to him.

He followed that up by blaming her leadership for the slowness in repairs, while calling Puerto Rican workers lazy, saying they “want everything done for them.”

Throughout Friday, Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz made multiple appeals to mainland U.S. citizens that “people are dying” in Puerto Rico, and was mildly critical of the president for not sending more help to the U.S. territory that was ravaged by a hurricane.

Later in the day, Cruz ramped up her appeal, specifically addressing Trump, saying, “We are not as second-class citizens, but as animals that can be disposed of.”

Trump, who has a history of over-reacting on Twitter to even the smallest slight, lashed out at Cruz early Saturday morning, tweeting, “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.”

Borowitz, SNL, the late-nite guys and gals, the Oion, they're gonna have a hard time here, finding ways to make the Puerto Rico response disaster funny. Oh look, he blamed Democrats for the storm! Oh look, he's busy playing golf while a hurricane rings his head like Chief Rain-In-The-Face. Oh look, he's called on the Vatican Navy for help. Oh look, he... whatever. It ain't gonna be funny.

It's a big ocean, and Leviathan and Moby Dick and giant squids present great hazards to US relief efforts, but Nemo and the Little Mermaid will save us. Order the Navy to give-em a call.

Ex-HHS head Price delayed rule fining Big Pharma for price gouging before resigning

ess than a day before Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned from his cabinet position amid a week of controversy about his expensive travel habits, his department quietly moved to delay an Obamacare rule that would punish drug companies for knowingly price-gouging.

According to Mic, the rule was supposed to go into effect on Sunday, but on Thursday, the HHS department logged a delay into the federal register — the fourth time they’ve done so this year.

The Affordable Care Act established in 2010 a rule that aids the decades-old 340B program, which helps protect hospitals serving low-income patients from being overcharged for medications that should be discounted. Under the ACA rule, drug manufacturers found to have “knowingly and intentionally” price gouged could receive fines of up to $5,000 per instance of overcharging.

Once again we see that our Erected Prezinitwit is flaccid in his follow thru.

‘This is a time when people show their true colors’: San Juan mayor drips contempt for Trump’s ‘petty’ insults

Directly responding to Trump’s insulting tweets delivered from his New Jersey golf resort, Cruz dismissed the president out of hand, saying he was wrong about her and the people of Puerto Rico.

“Actually, I was asking for help. I wasn’t saying anything nasty about the president,” she told the MSNBC host. “But don’t take my word for it. General Buchanan, a three star general, has said as one of the first comments he’s made about the Puerto Rico situation that he doesn’t have enough troops to get the situation under control. So, who am I? I’m just a little mayor from the capital city of San Juan. This is a three star general telling the world right now he does not have the appropriate means and tools to take care of the situation.”

“This is what we have, one goal: it is to save lives,” she continued. “I tweeted this morning that this is a time when everyone shows their true colors. I have no time for distractions. All I have is time for people to move forward, get help and what kind of a Puerto Rican, what kind of a human would I be if I know of other mayors that are getting no water and no food and I just look the other way and just had my city taken care of?”

Who are you going to believe, a Three Star General, or a one sphinctered asshole?

Factbox: Relief efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria

By Reuters on Sat, Sep 30th, 2017 at 1:46 pm

Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory of 3.4 million people, struggled through a tenth day with virtually no electricity, patchy communications and shortages of fuel, clean water and other essentials in the wake of Hurricane Maria, the most powerful storm to hit the island in nearly 90 years.

‘Unfit for office’: Trump’s latest ‘racist victim blaming’ tantrum blaming ‘lazy’ Puerto Ricans shocks the Internet

It's almost as if Tromp is bent on proving that he is incapable of performing the duties of his office.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

No, no, you see it's all fake news coming from PR. He's not being derelict in his duties, everyone thinks he's marvelous, nothing but praise. Except for that annoying little spic democrat down there shooting her mouth off about people dying. Not happening. Fake News.

‘Sh*ttiest president ever’ Trump gets pounded on Twitter for continued Puerto Rico attacks

President Donald Trump continued his fusillade of petulant tweets aimed at the people of Puerto Rico and San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz on Saturday afternoon while managing to also get in a dig targeting the other objects of his resentment right now, NFL players.

These photos suggest Trump is lying about how ‘great’ things are in Puerto Rico

President Donald Trump maintains things are going “great” in Puerto Rico, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

CNN’s Jake Tapper noted that the White House seemed to set up a battalion of staff to speak to the media and claim that everything was fine.

“We and they see an acute difference of President Trump towards them,” Tapper said about the people of Puerto Rico. “Simultaneously, we are also seeing a brigade, being ordered to charge on your TV screens to win this spin war about the recovery effort.”

He played a series of interviews with officials all promising they’re doing everything right and that everything is fine. On the ground, however, Puerto Ricans see a different story.

Check out these photos and videos below. Even Fox News agrees that the response has been “underwhelming” and the island is such a catastrophe, more must be done.

Disease outbreaks begin in Puerto Rico even as Trump attacks its citizens on Twitter

The first outbreaks of contagious disease are beginning on the island of Puerto Rico 10 days after Hurricane Maria strafed the U.S. territory with a direct hit, according to The Daily Beast, even as the federal response lags and President Donald Trump attacks Puerto Rico and its elected officials on Twitter.

The Daily Beast’s Pablo Venes spoke to Puerto Rican mayors and health officials about the ticking infectious disease time bomb waiting to explode into a full-on public health crisis as citizens enter their second week without electricity, air conditioning, water, food or medication.

“Ninety-five percent of the island is still without electricity more than a week after Hurricane Maria struck, including most hospitals. Only about half of the island’s 3.4 million population has drinking water. These two factors, plus unsanitary flood water inundating homes and towns, have created a public-health emergency,” wrote Venes.

Mayor Julia Navarro of Loiza, a city half an hour’s drive from San Juan, said residents are showing signs of Dengue fever, Zika virus and a runaway epidemic of conjunctivitis that has infected more than 300 people.

‘Politically motivated ingrates’:Trump continues attack on Puerto Rican leaders dealing with hurricane disaster

President Donald Trump continued his assault on Puerto Rican leaders asking for help for their hurricane-battered island, calling them “politically motivated ingrates” on Twitter Sunday morning.

One day after engaging San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz in a protracted battle on Twitter and in the media, Trump doubled down first thing from his New Jersey country club..

“We have done a great job with the almost impossible situation in Puerto Rico. Outside of the Fake News or politically motivated ingrates,” he tweeted, before adding, “people are now starting to recognize the amazing work that has been done by FEMA and our great Military.”

“All buildings now inspected for safety. Thank you to the Governor of P.R. and to all of those who are working so closely with our First Responders. Fantastic job!” he continued.

Yesterday, Mayor Cruz, dismissed the president — who is spending the weekend golfing — saying she had better things to do than deal with Trump’s “petty” insults.

Indeed it has been a 'fantastic job' as in a fantasy in the Trumpanzy's mind. No electricity, water or food for 10 days? No prepositioned fuel, water, food or transport for a week after the whole island was catastrophically torn up?

Plus Trump saying that he'd have to think about how to pay for it, while Congress gives the DOD an 81 Billion Dollar raise, $30 billion more than the Prez asked for! Yes it's time Congress got off their asses and took some responsibility for the Jones Act and the other indignities heaped on PR.

This about tops the weirder freakshows I recall since becoming politically aware around 1962. Every single fucking prior president at least made a show of uniting the nation to care for citizens devastated by disaster. Every single fucking prior president at least tried to make political points by showing sympathy for citizens devastated by disaster. This fucking president doesn't even pretend to care.

His base of disgruntled white supporters love his attacks on lazy sp!cks, disloyal n!ggers, greedy Jews... but he lets greedy Jews run the economy. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

His rich cabinet minions screw the public over luxury transport and layovers? Well hell, they didn't get rich by paying their own bills, did they? And his legislative victories? They'll come along eventually, when he adjourns-suspends Congress and imposes martial law after the next unnatural disaster, maybe Kim nuking Seattle. Woops, there go CostCo and Amazon and Microsoft. And the Space Needle, boo hoo.

Tromp is showing exactly who his enemies are. Media. Non-whites. Brainpower. Bad!

What country are you talking about now?

I think the subject is Obamastan, that quaint mental construction financed by Murdoch and the Koch Bros that floats in alt.reality hosting:

* Criminal wrongdoings of Clintons that 25 years of probes couldn't uncover.
* Obama's founding of ISIS and failure with Katrina. (When he wasn't prez.)
* The overuse of executive orders (currently surpassed) and the evils of doing gov' business on private email servers (oops, TeamTromp are there too).
* All sorts of other shit indicating psychological projection.
* Don't forget Pizzagate and NASA sending abducted kids to Mars.
* And gangs of man-murdering lesbians carrying pink .45's.

Whatever toxic memes are generated by Russian propaganda factories are A-OK there too. Any connection to actual reality is merely... oh look, Obama!

Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States: Robert Reich

In 36+ Weeks he has gone from "Leader of the Free World" to Leader of the Flea World.

Announcement: Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States

Oh sure, he has the title and he has the bully pulpit – from which he’s bullying everyone from NBA players to people protesting white supremacists to DACA kids.

But he’s not actively governing the United States. That work is happening elsewhere – in Congress, the courts, the Fed, the career civil service, lobbyists, and in the states. Or it’s not happening at all.

It’s not just that Trump lost the epic battle to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Trump never understood the Affordable Care Act to begin with, and played no part in developing Republican alternatives.

The budget Trump submitted to Congress in March was dead on arrival. House Republicans ignored Trump’s request for $54 billion in cuts to departments and agencies and decided instead to cut non-defense spending by just $5 billion, and explode the defense budget.

The 9-page tax plan congressional Republicans and Trump unveiled last week only vaguely resembles Trump’s original tax proposal from April, and all the important decisions have been left to the tax-writing committees of Congress.

Don’t get me wrong. Trump is still a dangerous showman and conman – tweeting condemnations of critics and ranting before friendly crowds at his never-ending campaign rallies. He continues to fuel bigotry and meanness. He has reduced America’s standing in the world. His outbursts could start a nuclear war.

But when it comes to the actual work of governing America, Trump is becoming utterly and completely irrelevant.

In other words, he has Failed Biggly!

 

[Hypoxia]

In other words, he has Failed Biggly!

'Failure' implies the possibility of success. This was never a Tromp option.

He had no idea till about 1 Nov 2016 that he might beat Hillary. He and Gup leaders had no action plans for his victory. Tromp expected to boost his brand awareness and maybe start a cable station. Guppy leadership expected to stonewall and further probe Hillary for 4-8 years. They had it all worked out.

Come election day, and Voila! A new POTUS! One who never before dealt with a staff larger than a dozen (all ass-kissers), who had no capacity to develop plans of governance, who had no popular support and thus no clout to push Congress to whatever agenda he'd last tweeted. A new POTUS incapable of handling details, or remaining consistent, or communicating anything but impetuous emotion. A failure.

He succeeds behind the scenes. Agencies and protections are slashed. Health and safety rules are overturned. Many court vacancies are filled with assholes. Legal and civil rights are shitcanned. And ACA is being gutted from the inside.

Yes, he's failed as a president, but inflicts real damage on us all. And it only gets worse. Aren't enough umbrellas to save us from upcoming shitstorms.

But on the other hand people from the Clinton campaign have spoken about it having no direction or platform whatsoever. One even said there was an air of what are we doing, what do we stand for why are we here?

I think her being anointed the successor to Obama back as far as 2008 had her so sure of victory she didn't bother to come up with anything, so in that effect like Trump.

One of the many bad things about the worst election in my lifetime-as far as to absolutely awful candidates-was at no point was it about issues. Trump ranted about the wall and jobs, but with no plan. Clinton promised the LGBT she would make everything about them and continue to hand out freebies to the Obama welfare leeches. So more of the same, but far more liberal then even Obama and with far less substance.

So this was two lame ducks spouting out shit they had no idea how they were going to carry out. Difference was Trump was expecting to use his run to further biz and Clinton was so convinced she was winning she didn't need a plan.

And this is where we are and so far 2020 is not shaping up to be better unless somehow and independent rises up and get the discontents from both parties to vote their way.

BUSTED: Leaked Bossert memo reveals White House strategy to duck blame for Maria mess

A memo leaked on Sunday and published by Axios.com reveals that President Donald Trump’s administration is aggressively trying to shift the blame for its dismal response to Hurricane Maria and to carry out “planned hits” against the president’s critics.

Trump’s top Homeland Security advisor Tom Bossert authored the memo, which detailed the administration’s plans to “start a theme of recovery planning for the bright future that lies ahead for Puerto Rico. Planned hits, tweets, tv bookings and other work will limit the need for reactionary efforts.”

He continued by insisting that the Trump administration is not to blame for the fact that relief efforts did not begin in earnest until nearly a week after Hurricane Maria devastated the island.

“The storm caused these problems, not our response to it. We have pushed about as much stuff and people through a tiny hole in as short a timeframe as possible,” he wrote.

The administration’s enablers at Fox News set out early Sunday to carry out its “hit” on San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, calling her a “far left” radical and complaining that commentator Geraldo Rivera and his camera crew did not actually witness people dying in the streets.

Yes the Trumpanzy is worried about his image. However, his image is pretty much already formed by his Dickish behavior over the last 50 years.

Trump Twitter spasm undermines Tillerson’s attempt to cool tensions with North Korea

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Sunday that he told Secretary of State Rex Tillerson not to waste his time trying to negotiate with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un — an extraordinary public undercutting of the top American diplomat.

"I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man," Trump said.

Trump's derisive nickname for the North Korean leader has previously drawn an angry response from the government in Pyongyang. And the president's implied threat — "We'll do what has to be done!" — is the latest in a series of saber-rattling remarks that have raised anxieties among not only U.S. allies in Asia, but also the American public.

Donald don't be dickish with people that have Nukes! You dumb fuck!
