      GA, FLA, etc. taxpayers were not forced by their state gov't to bail out Puerto Rico. 13 million in direct cash assistance, plus THIS, which the State Dictator is so proud of that he set up this website: https://www.ny.gov/new-york-stands-p...rt-puerto-rico

      Note esp. the 130+ NYS Troopers, each making about $100,000 after 5 yrs on the job. Anybody EVER heard of their state's LE being sent 1000 m. to a place that isn't even a state? And what does it cost to fly 4 Blackhawks from NYC to PR? But it's worth it all to buy the votes of the Puerto Rico scum in NYC, as many as inhabit that dysfuntional welfare-island. And all this done by Executive Order, not legislative action!!!

      THIS is one of the many reasons NYS was hopelessly in debt even before Chiflu, & now "demands" a fed bailout!

        I stated a fact. Not my opinion of it.

        I'm more concerned about lack of oversight of trillions of dollars of national debt. Who's in campaign mode?

            Whoopie-do. Trump Organization gets plenty of business, or your grandchildren's tax dollars.

              Dryheat yes New Yorkers are too damn loud (including the current occupant of the White House) but money talks too.
              so a 3 hr or so ride to see Americans take off from American soil, from an American rocket is not needed?

              but the other 'junkets' are ok?


              double standard?

              all Presidents have large security details and folks on the ground long before he gets whereever he is going,


              Bush took a white water rafting trip down a river in Wva,

              according to the locals, there were mil folks (seals, delta, SF or secret squirrel spooky types, depending on which raft company you asked) in the hills all the way down the river, and were there a week or more in advance

              funny everyone mentions how much Trump is profiting from being a president,
              but no one seems to care how much the other president made during and after office,

              some were not millionaires when they took office, yet became very wealthy before they left or shortly after,

                I heard Washington took silverware. Happy?

                Your defense of Trump is admirable, but why wait until the next guy. All are at fault...so stop it now? Capitulation to what others have done is a lazy defense.

                  not defending or supporting,

                  and remember when the Clintons supposedly took all the W keys off the computers?


                  fact is a lot are complaining about what Trump does, and yet a lot of that has been status quo for ages,

                  suddenly now it is under the microscope?

                  maybe we should pass a law,,,, oh wait, the folks that make the laws are just as guilty,,,,,


                  yall act like this stuff is new and can be stopped overnight,

                      Neither you or I know the depths of corruption at play. What is public is pretty egregious, so the assumption is what is hidden might be extreme. I give them credit for not hiding it, ignorance or arrogance, I know not which.

                        That war-mongering SOB came through my area once--every intersection blockaided for miles around, State Troopers brought in from the far corners of the state, 100 times the response to some of the great natural disasters that have occurred here, such as Hurricane Irene, the "Ice Storm of the Millennium" 20 yrs ago, etc.

                          Oh! That was under the Ethiopian's watch. That's OK.

                              The real question to answer is HOW MUCH DID BARRY COST THE REPUBLIC AS A WHOLE? President Trump has added value to the nation as a whole, Barry gave how much to our enemy the Iranians in cash???

                                The money was frozen Iranian assets in US banks. What claim do you have on it?
