I posted an article earlier that Trump decided to take a long weekend to golf and waited three days when he went back to work on Monday to do anything for PR.

And NOLA should have been better prepared for Katrina. And Houston, etc...


We already know he's an asshat.

The storm was known of several days in advance, you could pre-position supplies and communications gear to more remote areas. You could position large numbers of helicopters to help with relief efforts as they don’t need airports or runways to nearly the same extent, etc, etc. We sent more helicopters to help Haiti after the earthquake than we did with our own citizens. This is just the tip of the iceberg as to what could have been done to help Puerto Rico better than what was done.

There’s no way around it, this is total, abject incompetence on every level for an easily foreseeable event.

Wouldn't even need that, you have 300-500 on standby for natural disaster on American soil currently completely unused.

Can't remember what number but it was in the number of thousand+ choppers that assisted Haiti.

The resources exist, the will to help does not.

Yes but there are the resources needed that are not used. Did you know that it's going to cost just as much having them sitting there as them performing their work which is the only thing they are meant to do?

And they are on the ground, but hey, island in the "middle of the ocean" with a disloyal mayor... nothing you can do but make them pay the price for not bowing to dear leader.

Doesn't Geraldo Rivera still have Capone's "mysterious" vault to find? I know you shouldn't blame the messenger but this dude is not, he is Fox's towel boy. Bill O'reilly's ass is still red from his chompers.

Reality is real no matter who presents it.

It's an NPR link, unless they've suddenly turned into President Trump cheerleaders.
Liar: No results found for site:npr.org "I got online for the first time in days".

But, for those who are curious: It's hard to tell where this story originated since it has been repeated by dozens of nutter blogs. It looks like it may have originated from Facebook or a forwarded email. This gives it the same inherent credibility as a Nigerian prince who wants to give you millions of dollars. Nonetheless, Trump cultists lap it up without a thought, accepting it over verified sources on the ground in Puerto Rico. Sad.

Post-truth, Baby! They're down for the alternate facts of simulated rationality.

a little slower than usual to get the appropriate talking points this time. But once they got them, they were off to the racists, er... races

Taj is either a Russian troll or someone who has read so much Russian propaganda he just spouts mistruths or out right lies.
Taj look at this as a wake up call, I don't expect you to magically become a liberal all I ask is start getting your news elsewhere

I wonder what lengths you'll go to in order to deflect from Trump's callous arrogance & incompetence.

It's funny hearing people saying PR should have been better prepared. Well then so should have Florida, Texas, Louisiana, etc etc.

Ok, so lets get back to my original questions that you seem to not to understand. They are simple questions.

1. how many times has the MAYOR meet with FEMA.

2. What does the GOVERNOR of PR think of the relief efforts.

You just wonder how much blame can be deflected onto the victims.
