Trump in Puerto Rico

President Trump on Tuesday told Puerto Rico officials they should feel “very proud” they haven’t lost thousands of lives like in “a real catastrophe like Katrina,” while adding that the devastated island territory has thrown the nation’s budget “a little out of whack.”

Trump’s remarks came as he touched down in San Juan amid harsh criticism that the administration was slow to respond to the natural disaster and after he praised himself earlier in the day for the “great job” and “A-plus” performance he said the administration deserved for its response to Hurricane Maria….

I expect that Rex Tillerson should be boxing up his desk-bling about now. He’s waxing up on lip-gloss in order to attempt to make amends for making the perfectly accurate observation that trump is a “moron”. I would have added a few adjectives, inevitably including “fcking”, but Rex got the gist of it right.

The ego-maniacal collection of raw nerve-endings that is Trump don’t take that kind of dissing without retribution. Rex will be spending more time with the family, soon, and I suspect he’s just fine with that. Rex isn’t denying he said it, and there is no doubt that it is fact, so Rex’s ways have been greased.

Meanwhile, Trump shows up in Puerto Rico and demonstrates all of the compassion of a cinder-block. First, he complains about how PR is going to mess up the budget, and so (by implication) will imperil his precious tax breaks. Then he starts pegging rolls of paper towels into the crowd, like he was feeding pigeons popcorn in the park, just so he could enjoy the feeding frenzy. It is impossible to ignore the utter contempt that he has for the citizens of PR. He does not even try to hide it. He got out a San Juan an hour before schedule, mercifully cutting short the time to demonstrate even more what a colossal dick he is.

Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope of re-establishing fair elections in this country. The SCotUS heard the Wisco-World Gerrymandering case yesterday. The Federalist Society frat-boyz saw no problem with Gerrymandering, and thought repealing it would just result in them having to work harder. Kennedy, the swinger on this, seemed pretty unimpressed with the state’s case. He is the only vote that matters. We’ll see where this goes…
