Where is San Juan's mayor?

[nolabear]

I think she was off to the side when that shitshow of a pep rally happened this morning but afterward when all those mayors of subrurban SJ areas were kissing up she was conspicuously absent. Did she ever show or get any chance to speak, or was she silenced?

1. I don't blame her if she skipped out on Trumpy's pep rally. n/t

2. She was there, but according to TV she was seated off to the side

and was not given the chance to ask questions. In other words, SCROTUS snubbed her because she didn't kiss his ass.

3. Playing golf?

No, wait, that was Donald Trump.

4. Maybe SHE didn't want to talk to HIM.

I think I would have avoided him completely for fear that I would do or say something that would get me into trouble and not help the people.

5. Maybe. It's probably wise considering how vengeful he is.

6. I heard on MSNBC that she approached Trump to talk and started saying,

"it's not political....", but he snubbed her.* Then when the meeting started, he thanked others for not making it political and ignored her again.

It's clear everyone was just invited to kiss the ring. She was there to be taught a lesson. His little pep talk to Puerto Rico was absolutely chilling with its sheer pettiness and ignorance. He continues to outdo himself.

*they showed a still picture of him looking at her with contempt before he started to turn away.

7. It's painful to see him treat her like a dog. She seems dedicated to the people.

Maybe that's why she's not currently talking. I wouldn't put it past him to hold them hostage.

8. Stalin did the same thing. On a slightly grander scale.

But, heh give trumper a chance. He's just getting started..oh wait, he's been doing this his entire life.

12. She should have walked out.

13. What a freakin little kid..

9. She was at Trumps briefing, but even though she is the mayor of the city,

she was seated at the side table, far away from Trump who was flanked by local officials who praised him. Trump congratulated the governor for not "playing politics", an apparent dig at San Juan's mayor. The camera focused on her once, and her head was lowered and it looked like she was very sad.

[nolabear]

11. I thought that was her. God what she must be going through.

I hope we get her full story someday.

10. I think that I heard on DemocracyNow! that she was going to be present

but had "agreed" not to speak (crybaby tinyhands requirement, in other words)
