You're thinking of Dr Pepper. Common mistake.

Dr Pepper could not be any grosser if they tried

Trump also waived that law people were bitching about (the Wilson act or whatever) to further help out Puerto Rico.

I have no idea how the government response to PR is, but the two biggest criticisms from the left so far have turned out to be pure bullshit.

Its the Jones Act and took the Buttplug a week to suspend it for PR and USVI vs minutes for his very fine KKK states of TX and FL (actually way longer as PR and USVI were both also crushed by two previous hurricanes)

And he and stilettos rushed down to TX and FL for self serving photo ops almost immediately but not to PR or VI until next week..

"I just found out they are islands, in an ocean, a really big ocean, really big and wet and salty too! Believe me! Very salty"

Time to face facts, dcm.

Rump doesn't give a crap about those 4 million American Citizens, many of whom are brownish and speak Spanish. Probably didn't know they were Anerican Citizens until 3 days ago.

In other words, he is a massive Dotard

How is Puerto Rico not fixed already??!1?

[bojanglesman]

From what I've read, the issue isn't getting supplies to Puerto Rico, it's getting the supplies that are already there dispersed throughout the country.  I don't think temporarily waiving the Jones Act will help, although it's a nice gesture.  They need help getting supplies and aid dispersed within the country that's already sitting at the docks.  The roads are messed up badly.

Apparently the issue with the Jones Act being waived quickly in TX and FL is because they had the capacity to handle the extra vessels.  Puerto Rico didn't have the capacity to handle it so it wouldn't do good to send a excrement ton of ships that can't dock.  At least that's what I've read.  Obviously I'm no shipping expert.

My side needs to learn not to swing for the fences everytime.

Trump brought the criticism on himself, but that's normal.  He was ignoring the issue.

However, FEMA was at least somewhat prepared, and got supplies there as soon as the weather cooperated.  And in a backwards way the administration deserves a little credit for that.

PR should have been declared a federal disaster area a day before the storm hit.  Instead, Trump was just douching excrement up.

Not fake news.

The problem now is they need truck drivers.  Well, by now I mean they have needed them for days.  I think the military might have a couple...

Debating banning him for such a disgraceful and offensive statement.

I would rather be banned than live in a world where people think Dr Pepper is drinkable

There are things you say that I don't agree with. This statement borders on fighting words.

I second the Dr Pepper being disgusting comment.

I can forgive you for voting for Trump but I just don't think I can forgive this.

Tom Price resigned. The swamp isn't so much draining as it is overflowing, with so many new people in there grifting the taxpayer there just isn't room for them all and they're getting pushed over the side.

I think Tommy needs to contact Trump about a job.  Secretary of Titties sounds good.
