The response to the disaster in PR has been poor compared to tx or FL. Sad thing is those Americans need the help exponentially more.

So it was all over Facebook from people you are connected to? Then that must represent all of the liberals in the country.

Is Melania going to PR as well? Mainstream media will have their knives out when they see what she wears.

It's odd, though, how concerned libs are over Peurto Ricans...when it was libs who were wishing death and destruction on the people of Florida and Texas, as payback for having voted for Trump.
Yeah well, those pesky facts sure are ugly huh?

Whenever Bill Clinton thinks of Melania, he remembers that he's the same age as Trump, then looks at his wife and thinks...

I heard a lot of MSM asking about pr in yesterday's presser. Tons of concern. Maybe someone finally explained to trump that the people who live there are Americans.

Not White, tho....most at least.
Majority do not even speak English. Trump doesn't like those kind of people.

We kept the place largely due to low wages being allowed - and gambling, etc.

Now that it is a liability, Trump ain't gonna be giving it the same deal as white people elsewhere.

Not really. This is just more liberal talking points.


"DoD continues to meet all Federal Emergency Management Agency requirements, and more, he added.

Meanwhile, Davis said, U.S. Northern Command estimates being able to increase the airlift flow rate from 3-6 aircraft per hour to 10 aircraft per hour into Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands -- for a total of 240 aircraft per day over the next 24 hours.

DoD is sourcing FEMA's request for additional medical support to both Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Davis said.

And, FEMA is preparing to ship 350 satellite telephones to facilitate response communications across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, he added.

Puerto Rico Update

-- In Puerto Rico, the power utility is slowly restoring power to customers, including the Centro Medico Hospital in San Juan and San Pablo Hospital in Bayamon. The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority reports that generators on the island are operational; however 80 percent of the transmission system and 100 percent of the distribution system are damaged.

-- Approximately 44 percent of Puerto Rico’s population is without drinking water. Eleven of 69 hospitals have fuel or power. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is moving providing electricity for hospitals with generators acquired by the Defense Logistics Agency and shipped by U.S. Transportation Command.
