I think the delivery of how President Trump told Puerto Rico about money running out could have used a better delivery but it's the truth.  The US can't be an endless cash fountain all the time for everything.  The govt can only provide so much to other countries before it feels the strain on money designated for it's citizens. Other than that I think he has moved on so to speak to the other tragedy.  

Latest tweet folks......

Leaving Puerto Rico now for D.C. Will be in Las Vegas early tomorrow to pay my respects. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers. 

Puerto Rico isn't another country. Jesus Christ.

You know what I mean.  It's not really a state.

No, and no one is saying it is. But those are American citizens. So, there should be no difference to humanitarian issues or funding they receive.

All I am saying is that the tap eventually has to shut off or else the supply will end.  It is showing early signs of wear now.

Would you say that about Florida or Texas? I've always taken the relationship between the US and its territories as one sided in favor of the US. The reason they want statehood isn't because they're dying to be a part of the US, it's because the current set up is one sided and territories are getting screwed over.

I would say that the tap gets turned off quarter turn by quarter turn with all Emergency Funding and Puerto Rico is being advised that there aren't many turns left on their tap before it's closed.

Go Beavers

Budget concerns? Maybe we should review those tax cuts for the rich and the bloated military budget?

^ No kidding. And while I'm all for infrastructure improvements, I side with taking care of American citizens who are in dire need.

I was making a statement about funding running out in general. I knew it wasn't another country. Anyway I have wasted too many keystrokes answering to this.  President Trump is right on this, the money is running out and will have to come from somewhere else soon.

what you're really saying here is "i didn't know puerto rico was an american territory, if I did, i wouldn't have said something so ignorant".

so if there was a tornado in dc, should the tap have a finite amount of turns too? asinine.

Video of the event shows him tossing the paper towels like a child trying to play basketball. It’s all very underwhelming.

haha, well seeing as how that was 12 years ago, i'd say that's a hilarious example. of course eventually funds stop diverting to these disasters, but you are suggesting that funding for PR is going to dry up in 2 weeks after it happened, which is preposterous. 

all you are doing is backpeddling because you didn't know it was a US territory.

paper towels=world peace.  think about it.  is your mind blown yet?
