Must be because the liberal media is racist and doesn't care about brown people. They could still bash Trump. Three out of every ten people still don't have water! They don't, because the story cycle is over, and they've moved on. We'll next hear Trump sucks on the 1 year anniversary, then 2 year...then when Trump's out of office, at the 5 or 10 year mark, we'll hear how "the country" has abandoned the Puerto Rican poor...

This has already started. Currently trending #1 on Facebook are a bunch articles attempting to smear the Trump administration and the left just eats it up. Rebuilding Puerto Rico, lowering taxes, these are not things that the left will EVER report on. Trump is a babbling brook of stupid on occasion, but the results we've seen outweigh that for normal people who aren't as wrapped up in fanatical partisanship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 On 12/27/2017 at 10:07 AM, TakeYouToTasker said: Power has been largely restored, and clean water is no longer a major issue, which in an of itself is very impressive given a near zero percent access rate with almost 100% of all infrastructure destroyed only 2 1/2 months ago. In addition to that achievement, the Federal response has included directing nearly 1b in personal aid to individual victims through FEMA, and restoring the decimated ports allowing the rebuild to begin. To give you some idea of the scope of the project, a close friend of mine was a project manager with Gilbane when the Jersey shore was devastated a few years ago. The logistics weren't anywhere near as challenging as attempting to deliver aid to a island with no ports and no other access, and the rebuild took years. What, exactly, is your expectation? What the media narrative does do is give the 150,000 Puerto Ricans who had to relocate to Florida a reason to vote Democrat in '18 and '20. Donald Trump tweeting some stupid thing about Puerto Rico having terrible infrastructure before the hurricane and threatening to pull FEMA, the military, and first responders gives the Dems all the ammunition they need. I said a couple of weeks ago that Trump is doing a good job (especially if you're a conservative), but his approval rating would be so much higher if he just stopped tweeting. He's reined his tweeting in the last couple of weeks and his approval rating is up. Discipline Donald. Discipline. You could be the next Reagan for the conservative movement.

B-Man Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 ACCOUNTABILITY: Trump budget chief shuts down consumer ‘protection’ bureau ‘slush fund.’ “CFPB, the brainchild of Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, collects fines from financial institutions and spends it on victims and educating the public on its mission. Millions of dollars have been set aside for the education funding. But the agency has been secretive about who gets the money.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that highly of Mattis, ask yourself this. Would a man like him work for a mentally unstable "retard"? Would Mattis really take orders from that kind of man or waste his time serving under a threat to the nation he's his entire life spent defending?
