    • Trump wasn't elected to continue the corrupt system (obviously), he was there to irritate the system and force the mooching politicos out the door.robotron3k
    • LOLOLOLRamanisky2
    • trump passed shit, just sayin..GuyFawkes
    • holy fuck ... so what corruption has Trump uncovered and discontinued? was it his family's use of personal email, or his continued foreign bus. interests?monospaced
    • or perhaps using his position in pathetic attempts to influence businesses on Twitter? wait... was it hiring ex bankers to run the economy and healthcare?monospaced
    • you have to be clear, since there's so much anti corruption going on it's hard to tell, plus whomever's left is investigating him, and he still can't pass healtmonospaced
    • haha...you are losing it robotron. Let's cherrypick the most sympathetic poll and then round it up by 15%. And make up immigration numbers to pretend Trumpyuekit

    Oprah Winfrey insists she will not be running for president in 2020!

    She was the "Democratic" party only hope again what are they going to do now?? Lol...

    The former queen of daytime TV set off media firestorm Friday after tweeting a New York Post article that proclaimed her as “Democrats’ best hope” in 2020.

    http://nypost.com/2017/09/27/dem…

    • Really the only ones talking about Oprah or the Rock running are right-wingers.yuekit
    • I think it makes them feel less stupid about voting for a TV celebrity for President to imagine that the other side would do the same. But they won't.yuekit
    • Who tf is Oprah?scruffics
    • Wow, a writer at the NYPost declares Oprah the democrats best hope, robotron3k assumes this to be gospel.nb
    • It's incredible how little media awareness some people seem to have. But there you have it.nb
    • omg and robotard get all their opinions spoon fed to them by fake news. Much like half of the UK. Sad.fadein11
    • and they seem to love old news as much as fake news.fadein11
    • i mean some stupid game show host won. ANYONE can now. miley cyrus could be our president someday.CygnusZero4
    • Trump is a great advertisement for NOT voting a celebrity again.yuekit
    • I'm pretty sure Oprah made it clear a long ass time ago that she had no intention of running for office.monospaced
    • But we all know that you feel women are inferior and incapable of being leaders, robo, so your input is not worth hearing.monospaced

    Why is Trump letting people die in Puerto Rico?!
    Why did Florida and Texas got help but Puerto Rico can't?

    What the fuck is ocean water?! Seriously, I mean this as what kind of argument is that?

    Does he have a heart?

    What do you think robo and omg, you stay behind of your Prez's descision to let fellow Americans to die?

    Which excuse do you have?
    Which reasons can you find?

    Are they second class or perhaps third class americans?

    Are you gonna tell us that they deserved it?
    Are you gonna invoke some debt as a reason to let people die?

    Are you gonna question Trump's decisions in anyway anytime?

    Do you know what empathy?

    Are you blind?

    Do you feel for the people?

    I believe that people don't have to think the same but letting people die can you please explain me how do you support that and why?

    Seriously, I'm starting to think we should start having a voting system to invite people out of this place.

    Fuck this and fuck your Trump and fuck both of you!

    • You had a voting system and trump wonset
    • Trump just accused news networks of "working over time" in Puerto Rico. He says that they want to specifically hurt the efforts of soldiers & first responders.nb
    • And still he has the support of many. Unbelievable. I didn't think America could sink so low.nb
    • set, https://mobile.twitt…zaq
    • democracy doesn't end at a vote.fadein11
    • I hope set's comment is a response to oey's second-last sentence. Otherwise, it's extremely inappropriate.nb
    • First PR is not American country and they don't call themselves American. 2nd, it's a third world Island, 3rd, they have food/gas/h2o but can't distributerobotron3k
    • 4th, the Mayor needs to take her high heels off and get to work, 5th they ask for help after they protest away the US Navy base there, 6th they are "Dems'robotron3k
    • Obviously it is a response to his second to last sentence, nb.set
    • 7th if you're American and travel there, they are not particularly welcoming 8th they will never be a State, even Obama didn't offer back in 2012, he avoided itrobotron3k
    • Btw, I've been to PR, speak fluent Spanish, it's an island, in the ocean, surrounded by fresh fish, it's gonna be okay for them.robotron3k
    • It's sad what happened to the Ricans, I'm not sure of their collective mindset, ambition, work ethic, but before there wasn't much on the island so even withrobotron3k
    • The 20+ billion the USA sends there annually I'm not sure how the citizens of PR will decide to rebuild it if they will.robotron3k
    • And 9th, the Democratic PR government is corrupt, the people were already suffering before the hurricanesrobotron3k
    • @zaq so if Trump is impeached, you get president pense...? lolset
    • I just heard an interview on NPR about PR, some guy is complaining about the lack of supplies. Never heard that from FL/TX people... Not on NPR at least.robotron3k
    • Correction, Puerto Rican's are kinda US citizens just not protected by the Constitution. But you'll never find a USA flag waiving there...robotron3k
    • Puerto Rico
      - receives $21B a year from US
      - does not pay federal income taxes
      - owes $70B in debt
      - biggest corrupt gov't

      ungrateful PR mayor blames Trump.
      omg
    • set...my second last sentence was about QBN. And yes he won. I'm questioning how can people defend him.oey
    • I seeset
    • Their government is in debt and they don't wave the American flag so that's an excuse for not helping them?yuekit
    • "6th they are Dems"
      "And 9th, the Democratic PR government is corrupt"
      Not even true, they have different parties there.
      yuekit
    • They are not a state but a U.S. territory so yes it is the mainland's responsibility to help...but more importantly the right thing to do.yuekit
    • BTW I love how you use all these stereotypes about lazy and in debt as some kind of excuse.yuekit
    • They are $70 billion in debt...guess what the mainland U.S. is $20 TRILLION in debt haha. And has bad/corrupt leadership thanks to the guy you supported.yuekit
    • :)fadein11
    • Fact is Trump has been sending support to PR
      https://pbs.twimg.co…
      omg
    • Dems want to use the difficulties of cutting through the disaster to deliver supplies as an opportunity to smear Trump. Hinting his remarks with the NFL.omg
    • Lol, they think this disaster is about the flag? If you give a little island $20B a year, the point is where is the money going? It's alot of Dem corruptionomg
    • Had they spent their money on infrastructure, it would be much easier to get those supplies in.omg
    • Please stop pretending you have any idea what you are talking about. Whatever money is given to PR is earmarked for specific purposes, it's not like theyyuekit
    • give them a check for $20 billion and the lazy Puerto Ricans wasted it. In fact Republicans blocked funding on infrastructure spending.yuekit
    • Also "Dems" use it to smear Trump...as if Dems force Trump to go golfing during a disaster and pick a fight with the mayor of city destroyed by hurricane.yuekit
    • The ungrateful dead. The mayor of San Jose says they can do it with or without help. So what's the problem?omg
    • They get $20B a year, Trump has been sending help, why do Dems want to keep blaming Trump?omg
    • omfg, only morons would argue in support of the idiot president, trumpmonospaced
  • oey6

    Robbo, are you numbering the reasons why you stand behind Trump's decision on letting this people die?

    They're a 3rd World Island?
    So what, they don't deserve to live because...?!

    Sorry, but WTF is that?
    Seriously?

    If you come to a Design forum to talk about politics and share a different opinion and viewpoint, that's okay but this?

    Why are you trying to justify something that's not possible to defend (letting innocent people die)?

    Or are you gonna try to tell me you're not defending it?

    Serious if this isn't trolling for which you should be banned already – not for having a different opinion though – you should be banned for hate speech.

    Express freely your opinion, defend Trump but respect Life!
    He can still be you wet dream but even wet dreams have flaws...

    • why can't you make your point in 33 notes like robo?PonyBoy
    • I said it was a terrible thing to happen bro, but getting them help takes time, it doesn't come at the snap of ones fingers.robotron3k
    • It can if the administration with the power to do so weren't bigoted, ignorant, swampy pieces of shit assholes. But they are.monospaced
    • countries are like people. You don't help your neighbour, one day you will have a catastrophy and no-one will help you either.
      This is all a test.

    • On the other hand we're talking about an administration who are going crazy about cutting medical help that their poor citizens get. So it's not a surprise.Beeswax

    • damn. your vid posted below is frightening.Gnash
    • i see stuff like this and the whinging about nazi's around ever corner in the USA seems kinda pathetic in comparisonGnash
    • Violence is always pathetic...marindsgn
    • @gnash - don't think this brutality is any worse than what went down in Dakota. All Western govts do it... Thatcher did it to the miners in UK (and paid policefadein11

    Trump would not condemn Nazis. He is NOW condemning the victims in Puerto Rico. He is a racist psychopath.

    If they vote yes, then what happens? Spain won't allow they to actually secede will they?

    • I think it's actually written into the constitution that Spain is indissoluble - so regions can never legally secede. Also enshrined by the UN that membersFax_Benson
    • have right to self-govern, which means - fuck knows?Fax_Benson
    • the thing is that this referendum is illegal according to the spanish constitution. but they could have let the people vote.oey
    • and after getting the results they could draw their conclusions. maybe it would have been a no.oey
    • if a yes Madrid could say "so what? it's llegal" or whatever...oey
    • my point is that this violence was not necessary. Madrid wanted to show force. so...oey
    • they probably united catalonians with this.and my question is: what is Madrid afraid of?oey
    • Good questine.yuekit

    I have friends in Barcelona and some were here recently painting a wall of my new Atelier.

    We talked about this and they said that they wouldn't expect violence or something but that despite illegal they want to be heard.

    And if the majority says no then it has to be respected.

    fucking hell... just let them vote... all this footage is fucked :/

    If there is that many folks wanting to voice an opinion w/out violence then what the fuck is the problem here?! Seems to me the government is afraid of an opinion getting out?

    I realize it's an 'illegal' vote but ffs... it's just folks filling out a fucking ballot... you don't have to crush skulls, toss old women down stairs etc etc.

    Horrifying shit to watch. :(
