It is absolutely disgusting that this has happened. Rand Paul will forever be trash.

Also OT but on the subject of news, I am in shock at how little attention the crisis in Puerto Rico is getting. What is happening right now is incredible.

right? I've seen a bit of news about it but i was hoping to hear someone talk about it.

Can we get some of that energy on the mainland please.

I was wondering what was happening in Puerto Rico. The only reason I heard about it was because a coworker mentioned it to me. I'm surprised how little it's been talked about.

One would think that the US owes a debt to the first responders.

[yeezus_christ]

we do--and we know it--why our country refuses to do right by these people is fucking beyond me.

i thought for sure this is at least one thing republicans and democrats would agree on since republicans like to brag about how patriotic they are but i guess they cant even spare some money for first responders...

[myhipusername]

it will forever boggle my mind that they literally do not want to give aid to these first responders

[yurasama_love]

I'm actually sick at this

[inkstainedlips]

Me too, it just gets worse and worse.

[suki_yaki]
