2024’s deplorables moment?

Daniel

Worse, they are trying to cover it up.

And people wonder why I won't vote for the Democrat this year.

A bunch of duplicitous war criminals whose domestic policy or lack thereof led to a ruinous litinany of worsening problems and suffering?

Yeah, no.

Race to the bottom.

I keep remembering 2012 when scandalous was Romney's garage elevator and his dog on top of the car. Good times.

At least she's willing to speak out against what Biden said.

How much more powerful it would have been for Trump and Vance to denounce Hinchcliffe's remarks. Instead they went with "I don't know who the guy is", "people need to stop getting offended at every little thing", and being "so over" what was said. They refused to take ownership of what was said by someone their campaign brought in to speak at a major event. Instead they blame people for not getting the joke.

It's a small thing here, but it's this part of Trump's personality, the refusal to admit that he's wrong in some way, that I believe makes him such a bad choice to be in a leadership position.

Race to the bottom.

Yea, definitely.

There are hard workers in every administration who get things done, and I have no doubt that was true for the Trump administration.

But I'm a cynic, and I doubt that Trump provided any real direction when it came to initiatives geared to Puerto Rico. Sorry.

A take from inside Puerto Rico.

Well I know when they had the most recent Category 5 hurricane FEMA took rooms in the most luxurious hotels and in Florida speak had a hurricane party.

I remember Trump throwing toilet paper into a crowd.

I don't know what else he did or didn't do...

He is prone to braggadocio.

I don't know what's been done for Puerto Rico if anything.

Two weeks after the storm the MSM dropped the story as if it never happened.

That's what they always do...

I actually wish I knew more about Puerto Rico.
