Naturally you’d think that because you elected a man who would do exactly that.

Sorry Bucky, these are Democrats not Republicans. That means many of them are not old white men.

I see, then they are going to bath houses then.

Yeah, but you've got one body that is Constitutionally empowered to set the budget for the Executive.

And you have an executive that is Constitutionally empowered to veto. If you don't like it, you can convince 55 House Republicans and 2/3 of the Senate to override the veto.

No McConnell hasn’t done his job. This is a Republican shutdown.
 
How did the Dems figure out a way across all that Big Water?

The funny thing is, Democrats truly believe that what Puerto Rico needs right now is... Hamilton.

What they need is a spotlight as Trump threatens to steal their recovery funds for his vanity project.

'What more can we take?' Puerto Ricans outraged Trump would take recovery funds for border wall
Sixteen months after Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, residents like Tati Morales in the Cercadillo neighborhood of Cayey are still struggling to get reliable access to potable water, phone service and a secure home.

"We almost have no lighting in our public roads, risking accidents," said Morales. "The infrastructure in general is still very weak — many streets in our neighborhood collapsed and they're still like that."

Morales said she hopes the reports that President Donald Trump could use $2.5 billion set aside to finance reconstruction projects in the island to pay for a U.S.-Mexico border wall are "really some sort of publicity and that is not going to become a reality."

The alternative is too alarming.

Where did Trump say he was going to take funds from Puerto Rico?

Emergency funds are what he would have access to under the hypothetical declaration of national emergency. He can't just jack funds from the EPA or DOT to do this. Hurricane relief funds are currently the largest lump sums of unspent emergency funding.

Yes, thanks for illustrating the leftwing misinformation campaign. Trump hasn't threatened to steal recovery funds from Puerto Rico.

Haven’t you guys done enough damage to those people? Carelessness and indifference is turning into malice at this point. They’re Americans and we help Americans rebuild after natural disasters.

"If only the Democrats were in charge to help with the disaster! They could have got there quickly in their private jets and watched Hamilton to raise awareness!!"

So even though Trump hasnt declared an emergency or stated that he is going to take funds from Puerto Rico, left wing news outlets are down there interviewing Puerto Ricans about it. That is about as biased and dishonest as journalism can get. In fact, that isnt journalism at all its advocacy. Not surprising its NBC. Did they balance this piece with interviews of people who have been victimized by illegal immigrants? Nah, of course not. And you wonder why people on the right watch FOX and listen to talk radio.

How much time did you spend down there helping out? How much money did you send?

And yet they don't want to vote on it in the Senate. Go figure, Deuce.

YET AGAIN I must explain to you that Mitch McConnel is the sole person who decides whether or not a vote gets to occur, and he said no.

He has said he plans to declare an emergency if he doesn’t get his way. Do you deny this?
