    I can see how an apologist would come to that conclusion.

    Florida is the ultimate swing state, and repeatedly elections there have swung on a few thousand votes. What happens when thousands of Puerto Ricans, who are a plane flight away and already citizens, start moving there in numbers? Think they'll be Trump voters?

    In general they tend heavily Democratic. Now add thousands more who are victims of Trump's Katrina and see what happens in 2018 as well as 2020.

    That was pretty poor as batting away a post goes, YF.

    THE FLOGGINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES ...


    A billionaire business shark and a “worldwide” pop star have donated the use of their own planes, but the Trump administration is making U.S. citizens pay “full fare” to be evacuated from hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

    What’s worse, the U.S. government, in accordance with a long-standing but discretionary policy, will hold the evacuees’ passports as collateral until it gets its money.

    According to the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs:

    • Anyone evacuated on U.S.-government coordinated transport, including charter and military flights, must sign an Evacuee Manifest and Promissory Note (Form DS-5528) note prior to departure.”
    • The promissory note obligates an evacuated person to repay the cost of the transportation to the U.S. government.”
    The cost of the “promissory loan” is based on “the price of the last commercial one-way, full-fare (not discounted) economy ticket prior to the crisis.” In other words, the loan isn’t based on the discounted economy fare that many visitors probably found online to get to Puerto Rico.
