You're going straight to hell, @realDonaldTrump.
No long lines for you.
Someone will say, "Right this way, sir."

"When asked for his reaction to President Trump's tweets, Russel Honoré, the retired general appointed by Bush to take over the federal response to Katrina in 2005, said he had none.

"I have no reaction. The mayor's living on a cot, and I hope the President has a good day of golf," he told CNN.

Earlier this week, Honoré told CNN that the President's response to Maria shows that he doesn't care about the poor or people of color.

"The President has shown again he don't give a damn about poor people," Honoré told CNN's Erin Burnett. "He doesn't give a damn about people of color. And SOB that rides around in Air Force One is denying services needed by the people of Puerto Rico. I hate to say it that way but there's no other way to say it."

He used a childish rant because it plays to his base and these childish rants are a useful diversion as an extension of his ego.

That's the thing that is really irritating about Trump. People who don't vote for Trump get worse treatment.
I know I generally don't help people who are mean to me and I assume you generally don't either however when you are the President that is not acceptable behavior.

Trump was always all of that, known to be all of that, and was still elected. Nice argument.

Actually, a lot of supporters pretended that he wasn't... some of them still do. The difference is that those who saw the problems and voted for him anyway (including the people who bought into the "well at least he's not Clinton" crap) are more likely to realize that yes, all those problems Trump had before taking office were magnified when he came to office.

Remember, Trump is setting new lows for presidential approval ratings, even at Fox News, Rasmussen and other polls where you'd expect them to rubber-stamp just about anything a Republican-backed President would do. I suspect that the only way Trump will stay on for more than four years is by counting on gerrymandering and voter ID laws to rig the election.

You mean how they've come to realize that Jesus wasn't magic? I suspect that the only way Trump will not stay on for more than four years is by way of a nuclear apocalypse. So maybe it's actually more like 50/50.

I suspect he will get primaried by GOP challengers and then claim he wasn't interested in a second term anyway. That is assuming Mueller doesn't bring him down before.

Please. Trump took the nomination the way that Secretariat won the Belmont stakes- way out front & pulling away. The Repub primary voting base loves Trump with all their hearts. He'll be their nominee again in 2020 unless forced out of office before that.

They catch on real, real slow...

This could be one of the moments that costs Trump and the Republicans big time, hopefully in 2018 but definitely in 2020.

All a Democrat has to do is remind people that Trump was launching personal attacks from his private golf course against the Major of San Juan for... asking for help during a major catastrophe. Instead of being a President and stepping up to the plate, he's making excuses and running away.

Donald does horrible shit every single day. People just dont seem to care anymore. A year from now no one will give a damn even with lots of reminders. Americans have made it quite clear they like giant loud stupid ignorant fat lazy assholes.

In an interview on CNN, Long suggested that Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of Puerto Rico’s capital city, has failed to connect with FEMA command center set up on the island to help with the relief effort.

“The problem that we have with the mayor unfortunately is that unity of command is ultimately what’s needed to be successful in this response,” Long told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield.

“What we need is for the mayor, the good mayor, to make her way to the joint field office and get plugged into what’s going on and be successful,” he continued, adding that, “I think that’s the bottom line on that tweet.”

"When asked for his reaction to President Trump's tweets, Russel Honoré, the retired general appointed by Bush to take over the federal response to Katrina in 2005, said he had none.

"I have no reaction. The mayor's living on a cot, and I hope the President has a good day of golf," he told CNN.

And SOB that rides around in Air Force One is denying services needed by the people of Puerto Rico. I hate to say it that way but there's no other way to say it."

According to a female police officer from PR, the mayor is every bit a piece of shit as President Donald J. Trump says she is:


edit: and the governor as well

The new three-star general heading up recovery efforts Puerto Rico said Friday that the military has not sent enough troops there and is poised to send many more amid growing criticism over the Trump administration's response.

Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan said the military will add to the more than 4,000 troops already deployed for the disaster relief mission by sending more helicopters, mobile medical hospitals and personnel to help with distribution of supplies like food and water.

A week after Puerto Rico was slammed by Hurricane Maria, the Defense Department and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are ramping up operations and shifting to a ground-based recovery effort, but critics have pointed out that past disasters in Haiti and Japan were met with over 20,000 U.S. troops.

"No, it is not enough and that's why we are bringing a lot more," Buchanan told reporters Friday morning when questioned about the current troop level. "In particular aviation, we've got 25 federal military helicopters here and we're bringing many more. That is not enough."

Buchanan was just deployed to coordinate relief efforts on the U.S. territory where many of the 3.4 million residents are still struggling to get basic supplies such as food, water and fuel.

Democrats on Capitol Hill have been pressing this week for a bigger military response and urged President Trump to send the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which was sent to Florida following the powerful earlier storm Hurricane Irma.

"Dammit, this is not a good news story. This is a people are dying story. This is a life or death story," San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz said Friday.

But FEMA pushed back against comparisons of the response in Puerto Rico to earlier disasters.

"When we start comparing disasters, we don't like to do any of that because every disaster is unique in its own way," said John Rabin, an acting regional FEMA administrator who is heading up the relief efforts.

Puerto Rico has National Guardsmen who are very capable of handling the devastation, Rabin said.

http://www.npr.org/2017/09/27/554057269/army-veteran-says-puerto-rico-needs-50-000-u-s-troops

Yesterday FEMA administrator Brock Long said the federal government would send thousands more federal troops and 10 more barges and ships loaded with supplies, including the U.S. Navy's hospital ship the Comfort. The Defense Department is also deploying a brigadier general to manage the response. Phillip Carter, who served in the U.S. Army and is now with the Center for a New American Security, says an even larger military force should be deployed - as many as 50,000 servicemembers.

PHILLIP CARTER: These aren't combat troops. What Puerto Rico really needs right now are support troops who can build tent cities and run power generators and help augment the staffs of hospitals or run military hospitals like MASH units. That's what Puerto Rico needs. So those kinds of support units are on the way, but they're not fully there yet.

He is Puerto Rican. He is currently in PR. He has family in PR. He's telling the truth, unlike the piece of shit mayor and governor.

You have no idea if he's telling the truth but you do strike me as the gullible type so you have fun with that. Maybe he'll find another empty basement for you guys to have fun with.
