    This is incredible. I do have similar questions as Dan. Are these people so stupid that they don't know that it is an island and US territory or are they playing dumb in order to be in lockstep with the idiot in chief? This is clearly offensive if they are doing it on purpose but how scary is it if they are really this ignorant?

    It's on purpose. Only white people, in their view, are Americans. They're all scum, but they do have better haircuts than their boss, for what that's worth.

    Puerto Rico has been a bastion of wasted money and corruption, but that conversation goes well beyond the hurricane emergency funds. I am sure they didn't find any ways to misspend relief funds that Houston or other places hit with hurricanes haven't figured out, too.

    One really interesting thing about Puerto Rico is a law they passed in 2012, which gives amazing tax treatment to anyone from the mainland willing to move down there. Any business that exports things away from the Island pays only 4 percent tax. And capital gains, interest and dividends are all tax free. It's the only place in the US where you can essentially trade or invest for a living and pay nothing beyond the Feds. All you have to do is cut all ties with the mainland and spend at least 183 days a year in Puerto Rico. A number of people have taken them up on it; moved their funds down there.

    As I mentioned on a friend's Facebook page, how many times did the Republicans sponsor bills overturning Obamacare when he was in office? That's still their MO, even with one of theirs in the White House and one house of Congress.

    This one was the best piece I've seen about Reilly's book to date. Still waiting for Trump to jump on it. But since that means he may have to read a book ...

    Yet they still couldn't get it done when they had the White House and both houses of Congress because they have no replacement plan.

    It's too soon to talk about replacement plans.

    Wait until there's a slow news day and Fox & Friends rips into Reilly for it.

    Other than driver's license and passport, what would be the most common "alternative photo IDs used by African-Americans"?

    Badge from your place of work? What else?
