What an arrogant and dismissive press conference.

What an arrogant and dismissive press conference.
And the video of him tossing rolls of paper towels out in the crowd like they are t-shirts at a basketball game. What a pompous asshole.
I like how he brought along the rent a wife...someone had to make him look good.
Read somewhere that he did visit a neighborhood and talk to people. One of the few affluent communities in Puerto Rico.
Yeah I'd kinda tend to expand that catastrophe territorial area........
Ilistened to a few minutes of Dickheads speech in PR. All I could think of was "what a fucking Asshole he is"
should have given him a air cannon to shoot at them...
It's working as was designed by efforts set in motion about a half a century ago. Our democracy is broken, but the system is doing what they planned. Noam Chomsky has pointed this out numerous times and most recently:

Great article that unfortunately will never reach a broader audience because of the web site it is published. on, and even if it does will be downplayed by and degraded by those who need it most.
Chomsky and Zinn are the 2 most important voices of this century.

Fox calls out self, conservative fake news sites, and Trump for fake news on PR:

Over/under on sexy Rexy's resignation?
Considering he doesn't deny calling Trump a moron in July and it's now a public spectacle, probably sometime tomorrow. Herr Twitler can't stand for anyone other than himself to embarrass his administration. Remember Tom Price ?
NPR covering this subject tonight. The FSM knows there are plenty of reasons to despise Tillerson, and I hate to say this, but I think we need him, like Mattis, to keep Dottard Don in check.
Surprised that someone of this caliber hasn't been offered a job in Dumf's cabinet already.

That my friends is the soul-less stare of man who thrives on the misery of others. And probably eats babies. I don't know though, that's just what the internet told me and I can't be expected to fact check every thing I hear before repeating it.

"...and convicted felon..." Why in the name of the FSM does this not bar him from seeking public office? This, along with a few other things, is what is wrong with this fucking country.
Clinton was copping a feel, Obama stealing her wallet and her jerbs, Bush thought he was hugging his Mom...tRump was THE ONLY ONE HELPING. Cant you see he was making 'murica great agin?
At least he can't vote for himself? Maybe?
Don't forget the guns. Obama was taking her guns too. That sly Barry just can't help himself.
But isn't that the American Dream, you can be anyone or anything you want?
idk shrub jr was a former coke head, nothing matters anymore.

The U.S. workforce shrank by 33,000 jobs in September, worst than economists estimates and ending a 83 month streak of gains - so much winning, MAGA!

Tremendous.
No shit. Probably doesn't want to commit suicide by shooting himself twice in the back of the head.

It still boggles my simple mind that we've made so much progress understanding medicine and the human body, and we STILL have people arguing that every ejaculation is a precious maybe-baby load and should be treasured. Hasn't the papacy even given contraception two thumbs up?
*rabble rabble rabble*

i like to slam on drumpf as much as anyone but that's mostly due to hurricanes, per NPR this AM. syadasti, i am disappoint.
Foolish move..... don't you know you're not allowed to contradict ideologues?
The US had Hurricane Irene (40-45 billion USD plus up to 20 billion more during rebuilding) and Sandy (71.5 billion USD damage) during the 83 month streak of gains. NYC GDP is on par with Canada and only slightly smaller than Texas as a whole. NYC was only one of many areas directly impacted by Sandy and yet we still kept gaining jobs.

Also if you read the NPR piece, they don't know why yet - the storms were speculation, jobs were overestimated previously, and they won't know until the end of the year if the storms were the cause:
"U.S. Jobs Dropped By 33,000 In September, Likely Due To Storms"
"Not all the data were similarly affected. For instance, the storms had "no discernible effect" on the unemployment rate, the bureau says."
"Stuart Hoffman, a senior economic advisor at PNC Financial Services, told Jim the effects of the storms are likely to be temporary, and the job market should recover by the end of the year.
The September jobs report also adjusted revised job growth in July and August downward; with those revisions, 38,000 fewer jobs were added this summer than had been previously reported."
