No. He doesn’t. This is the reason that journalists pointedly refer to Puerto Ricans as Americans when speaking to Trump. It seems rather likely that he was ignorant of their status until the hurricane hit. And he’s still confused.

Puerto Rico =/= Spain.

That was actually pretty calm and reasonable for Alec Baldwin. Low bar, I know. But still not very different from what a lot of commenters here were saying here when the story broke.

Polanski should definitely sue. He’ll be made very welcome when he comes to testify in a California court. We’ll even provide him with room and board.

He doesn’t look like that man, but he’s still the same dude.

I volunteered at an animal shelter for a year and it was... weird. It was definitely almost all white people and many of them really didn’t seem to like people much at all. They also changed the name of any dog that came in with a Latino name and it sure as hell seemed like it was a lot easier to adopt as a middle…

Did you not see I addressed this issue specifically?

PETA is a difficult subject, because I don’t want to all lives matter this shit, but there’s so much human suffering that’s happening right fucking now. What does it say about us as a culture that we care more about mistreated and dead animals than people like traynon Martin and Castile? I know empathy isn’t a zero…

Just a friendly reminder:

Well, yes. But let’s be real. Donald’s would have been: Be Beast.

Alas, he is our official representative.

Simply because it has not reached those levels doesn’t mean that we cannot notice the similarities between autocratic regimes and our own: and fight against them at every step.

That is already the case with México. If you speak Spanish, please see the video that PuebloCatracho just posted: specifically the protocols to which México is signatory and we are not in terms of refugee status for persons fleeing extreme violence in their home countries.

They also know they’re on the wrong side of history, but are doubling-down out of sheer bloodymindedness. But that’s how they operate in general, so no surprises there. ^^

I can only assume that they picked the worst possible traitor-crook to “own the libs”. As long as they feel they’re making the rest of the country angry, then they’re happy.

Maybe if the US didn’t want a massive refuge problem it SHOULDN’T GO AROUND DESTABILIZING THE COUNTRIES SAID REFUGES ARE FLEEING FROM.... also I would gladly have a Honduran/Salvadoran/Mexican/Etc immigrant as a neighbor/co-worker/community member over a deplorable any day!

Ghouliani also noted that he didn’t consider the $130,000 to be a payoff amount because to him that’s peanuts. Now, had it been a young Black or Puerto Rican kid stealing a candy bar or soda from a local bodega because their parents are in the system and they haven’t eaten anything in days, then we’re talking serious…

love it love how it’s only the southwest border, that’s not obvious or anything

ONCE AGAIN, FROM THE TOP:

I think the “strategy” is to kick up so much sediment in the water that, when the actual charges come out, the “average American” will either be confused or bored. Essentially, they want to normalize the chaos. Then the GOP will feel no pressure to impeach.
