The difference is whether the criticism is warranted. Puerto Rico is undeniably not in a good spot and the joke was taking a shot at that. If someone makes a baseless joke then they aren't worth the time of day, I agree with that. To e

Quite a lot, actually: * The southern border is non-existent. Say what you want about Trump, he actually secured the border where literally noone before nor since has done so. It was very nice actually seeing value in passports, green cards

I call it practical, on point, gruff, and charismatic. Practical and on point because Trump talks about things that the common American actually gives a shit about in a way that the common American can understand and relate to. This also ha

I would argue it's a great benefit rather than a problem, too. NYT not publishing sensationalist bullshit? While it's just one outlet out of countless many, the world will be that much more peaceful for but a short while.
