Trump says he spoke to US Virgin Islands ‘president’? So ignorant! Can it be anymore clear this moron is UNFIT for office? He’s an embarrassment to America. White people who voted for him OWNS this. What have you done unleashing this ignorant thug on America to destroy all what is good? What have you done to this country?
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump accidentally referred to the US Virgin Islands’ governor as their President during a speech Friday — even though he is technically their President.
“I will tell you I left Texas and I left Florida and I left Louisiana and I went to Puerto Rico and I met with the President of the Virgin Islands,” he told the audience of the Values Voter Summit in Washington.
“We are one nation and we all hurt together, we hope together and we heal together,” he said, later adding, “The Virgin Islands and the President of the Virgin Islands, these are people that are incredible people, they suffered gravely and we’re be there, we’re going to be there, we have really, it is not even a question of a choice.”
Trump appeared to be referring to Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp, instead of the “President” who is Trump himself. The Virgin Islands is a US territory.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. But in the official White House transcript after the speech, his reference to Mapp as President was corrected to “governor.”
He was referring to how the US Virgin Islands was hit first by Hurricane Irma, then Hurricane Maria, which ravaged the island.
WHO doesn’t want to come out and say?

Tulane offers tuition-free semester to displaced students from Puerto Rico
By Brandon Carter – 10/14/17 11:52 AM EDT
Tulane University is offering a tuition-free semester at its New Orleans, La.,campus to college students in Puerto Rico who were displaced by Hurricane Maria.
“Today, we’re making good on our offer of help by offering a
tuition-free guest semester program for students from universities and colleges in Puerto Rico,” the university said in a post on its
admissions department blog. “After Katrina, universities and colleges around the world took in our students with open arms; it’s now our turn to pay it forward and assist students in need.”
The post instructs Puerto Rican students to fill out an application
for the semester on its website and pay spring tuition to their home
university. The university also said it will provide dedicated advisers
and support staff for displaced students.
“It is our hope to be able to provide a temporary home to a group of
students who have dealt with the challenges of Hurricane Maria and her aftermath,” the university said. “The city of New Orleans and Tulane hope to welcome you this spring to help you get your education back on track.”
“New Orleans may not be your home, but we’ll do our best to make your temporary shelter from the storm.”
Puerto Rico was devastated by hurricanes last month, leaving millions of people without power and clean drinking water.
Gwendolyn Patton was born on this day, October 14, in 1943.

All in a days work….
Go Jay! You played hard. Well done.
I love the photos and hearing about how Jay is doing! Congratulate Jay for me please.
I sure will. We’re so proud of Jay!
Great pictures, SG2. So they wear hot pink socks for breast cancer awareness like the NFL?
Looks like a fun day.
Yes, Liza. It’s for breast cancer awareness.
Thank you. We had fun.

THREAD – BACKLASH FOR THAT WOMEN’S MARCH.
Old Lady Dem @oldladydem
This is a lie. There was no announcement. As of 2pm on 10/12, the ONLY “headliner” announced was Bernie F**king Sanders. Receipts follow. 1/
They’ve lied, obfuscated, and attempted to gaslight us ever since their press release on Sanders’ role caused a well-deserved backlash. 2/
Here, Mallory even tries to deny she ever said Sanders was a headliner. But someone brought receipts. 3/
Mallory had USAToday update by removing “headliner” & inserting this statement. “also coming” doesn’t scream “Maxine is the headliner!” 4/
Even though “headliner” was removed, giving a speech on opening night certainly implies it. No other speaker’s slot has been announced. 5/
14 paragraphs in, the article does say Maxine “also is expected to address …” But “also” sure sounds secondary to Sanders. 6/
As for their claim that Maxine was announced as THE headliner WEEKS ago, let’s check WM’s TL. Such important news would be there, right? 7/
Here’s their first mention of Maxine. An announcement of their theme. Period. No mention Maxine is even speaking. 8/
In fact, they specifically state that speakers are TBD. 9/
Here they link to an article that Maxine “will attend.” WooHoo! She’ll be there. “Joining us” Big whoop. 10/
Doing what is unclear. As the article pointed out: “Waters’ office did not give details about what she will be doing.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 11/
In a post highlighting Amber Tamblyn, they link to an article where Maxine’s at least listed as a speaker, after 5 others. So, progress. 12/
Other than linking to a couple of articles, nowhere on their TL did they announce Maxine as a speaker, never mind THE headliner. 13/
There’s no speaker’s schedule on the convention’s website either. The ONLY slot they’ve publicly announced is Sanders. The only one. 14/
Even after all the backlash, their pinned tweet doesn’t NAME a single person. And “morning” is NOT for headliners. 15/
Now they want to blame MSM. For not giving attention to an alleged “announcement” that Women’s March NEVER MADE. 16/

Yes, Sunny, we know why they’re kneeling. To have to explain this is to explain and justify our humanity, our very being-ness.
2017, Ya’ll
They know but want to change the narrative to rile up hate against black athletes. They see police killing black people but want black folks to be quiet accept the injustice.
wow

Philando Castile’s murder is one of the hardest to think about among the many horrible murders perpetrated by police and white supremacists.
Everything that is known about this man is just good. He was apparently one of those rare people, just genuinely good and kind and compassionate toward everyone. He spent his entire adult life, what he had of it, doing good for others. Absolutely nothing else.
Well, I’m sure he would be happy that this was accomplished in his name.
RIP, Philando. You deserved so much better.
Y’all….

Paul Krugman commenting on Twitter yesterday about Trump:
Paul KrugmanVerified account @paulkrugman 21h21 hours ago
Right now, I’m feeling more terrified than at any point since the 2016 election. Why? It’s time for some game theory! 1/
Start with a clear-eyed assessment of Trump’s character: he basically has negative empathy — that is, enjoys seeing others hurt 2/
Normally, however, one would expect him to pretend to care and maybe even do some good things out of ambition and self-aggrandizement 3/
At this point, however, it’s clear to everyone — probably even him — that he just can’t do this president thing, and won’t get better 4/
The prospect that he will be removed, say by 25th amdt, getting realer by the day. And again, he probably knows this at some level 5/
So we’re getting into the end game. He can’t save his presidency. He can, however, still hurt a lot of people. And he surely wants to 6/
So from now on, until he’s gone, I’m going to fire up my computer every morning in a state of existential dread 7/
Can’t say that I disagree with this.
He is so ignorant😠😠😠
Good Morning,Everyone 😐😐😐
Good Morning, Everyone. I’m prepping for my annual spiritual retreat.
Enjoy this beautiful fall day.
