  1. While I'm mindlessly standing ramrod straight with my hand placed directly over my heart and thinking about how much more patriotic I am than those ungrateful people, I have no time to think about how much we could move our country forward if we chose to discuss ways to mitigate institutional bigotry.

  2. "Stay safe" — DonnieTweeter to Puerto Ricans

    But another controversial decision by Trump is less clear cut. On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said it would not temporarily waive the Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, which dictates that only American-owned, American-made, American-staffed ships can carry cargo between U.S. ports, including Puerto Rico. Waiving the law would allow international ships carrying food, water, and medical supplies to reach the island, and many people on the island desperately need all of those things.

    It’s easy to see why people would be shocked. The U.S. mainland is far from Puerto Rico. “This is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean,” Trump said on Monday. “And it’s a big ocean, it’s a very big ocean.” So why not allow ships from closer places, like Jamaica, to dock and distribute aid? What’s more, Trump waived Jones Act requirements for hurricanes Harvey and Irma, allowing international ships to dock in order to make up for gas shortages. Why he won’t do the same for Puerto Rico, to save lives?

  3. In "Only in a Trump Cabinet" news — Environmental Destruction Agency head Scott Pruitt wants a Cone of Silence (from the Denver Post):

     The Environmental Protection Agency is spending nearly $25,000 to construct a secure, soundproof communications booth in the office of Administrator Scott Pruitt, according to government contracting records.

    The agency signed a $24,570 contract this summer with Acoustical Solutions, a Richmond, Va.-based company, for a “privacy booth for the administrator.”

  4. George Clooney nails it…

    'F–k you!' George Clooney blasts Trump for 'Hollywood elite' comment

    'This idea that I’m somehow the 'Hollywood elite' and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable'

    “Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years. So this idea that I’m somehow the ‘Hollywood elite’ and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

  5. Wasn't it just yesterday that Fluffynutz wrote of his dream Caribbean retirement thanks to Puerto Rico's "sweet deal"?!? . . . 

    The Law Strangling Puerto Rico

    Thanks to the law, the price of goods from the United States mainland is at least double that in neighboring islands, including the United States Virgin Islands, which are not covered by the Jones Act. Moreover, the cost of living in Puerto Rico is 13 percent higherthan in 325 urban areas elsewhere in the United States, even though per capita income in Puerto Rico is about $18,000, close to half that of Mississippi, the poorest of all 50 states.
