Trump is so stupid that he might try to curtail travel
from Puerto Rico to the US and deny the people there their right to travel freely. Many Puertorriqueños have relatives in the 50 states who would be happy to put them up until things improve, and everyone born in Puerto Rico is a US citizen. Trump may not even know that and attempt to cut off that escape route.

Once again, I experienced zero problems with the TSA.
At MSP for my outgoing flight, I had a TSA pre-check ticket and saw only helpful, smiling TSA people at the security checkpoint.

At LAX for my return flight a week later, I went through the regular security screening in Terminal 5. Again, I saw only helpful, smiling TSA people at the security checkpoint. Despite a significantly long line, the process was conducted efficiently and with respect for the people passing through it. At LAX, I had time to observe the process for quite some time as I waited.

A little individual data, based on a random flight schedule.

Very intriguing Rockhead. I think most people know it will go smooth if they are prepared in advance.

A Football Game Is Not a Patriotic Event
It is a football game. A game. The same is true of all sporting events. There is no reason, really, to inject some sort of national patriotic nonsense into a game, while we refuse to acknowledge that US citizens in our territories are suffering and dying after more than one hurricane.

We have lost our sense of what is important, and our national leadership is failing in its responsibilities. Instead of firing athletes, we should simply take patriotic activities out of such events, where they do not really belong.

Football is a game. Football is a multi-billion dollar business. It is not a patriotic venue in any way. Put patriotism where it belongs - protecting our rights and national identity. Football has nothing to do with either.

It's worse than that! Trump might ban travel by magenta Venusians to Uranus and only allow chartreuse Venusians to go there! :evil:

Wonder how many notepads Rockhead jotted down his idiotic thoughts during his absence.

Trump is from New York and about 25% of the Puerto Ricans living in the United States live in New York, so I'm sure that Trump was aware that Puerto Ricans are US citizens.

Rock Head probably just learned of it himself and figures that everybody else is as stupid as he is.

MM probably just learned the nationality of those he called the S-word.

Hillary was pushing the narrative that she believes that Trump does not know Puerto Ricans are US citizens. I saw mentions of it on the twitterverse last night.

Understandable, actually. Obama didn't know people living on the Jersey Coast are citizens when Sandy hit them. And HilLIARy must not know about NYC's Puerto Rican population, which Trump undoubtedly does.

What's with this sudden "conservatives are dumb and don't know PR populace are US citizens" stuff?
One of them figured this out last weekend, now is all the rage to add to all the other myths they manufacture?
I suppose that lacking valid justifications, if you need to hate someone bad enough, you'll just make shit up?
We should start a list of all the things that are wrong with conservatives, and all the things we think and believe in the eyes of a DUmpass. It's got to be getting pretty long at this point.

Unsurprisingly, MM displays his ignorance, in multiple respects:

The history of sining the national anthem at sporting events. (http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/6957582/the-history-national-anthem-sports-espn-magazine)

Quote
THAT STORY BEGINS, as so many tales in modern American sports do, with Babe Ruth. History records various games in which "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played dating from the mid-1800s, but Ruth's last postseason appearances for the Boston Red Sox coincided with the song's first unbreakable bond with the sports world, in 1918.

I'm surprised ESPN hasn't taken down this article. As the article notes, this tradition was begun in WW1, when the US was at war. Also, Woodrow Wilson was President, a Democrat.  I believe the singing of "God Bless America" was begun during FDR's Administration.

As to Puerto Rico, MM seems unaware that the Governor of Puerto Rico, a Democrat, has spoke well of Federal response and mentioned Trump contacting him multiple times. (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/devastated-puerto-rico-needs-unprecedented-aid-says-governor/)

Speaking of people not knowing things:

The email had as its subject line: “Chris Smith.” The murdered ambassador was Chris Stevens.
The Secretary of State didn’t even know the name of the U.S. ambassador to Libya — even after terrorists stormed an American compound and killed him.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/may/22/email-hillary-didnt-know-dead-ambassadors-name/

Then there's Barry--he knows a lot of stuff.  Although he seems to learn about a lot of things after-the-fact, especially things that reflect poorly on his worthless ass.

Quote
It’s a remarkable irony: the same U.S. president whose administration has gone to great lengths to monitor journalists, whistleblowers and the public, claims to be oddly in the dark regarding basic information on some of his biggest controversies.

Here are eight instances in which President Obama said he heard it on the news—or way after-the-fact—just like ordinary Americans
