I've seen interviews of her on TV. She is a despicable creature, using a natural disaster for political gain.
She is. Its already been shown that there are tons of supplies at PR ports. The issue has been the lack of drivers for trucks to get the goods to where they have to go. That isn't a federal problem. Something tells me, however, that this leftist loon wouldn't be making the same noise faced with an identical situation under the obama administration.
What's the penalty for being born into a place that continues to elect lazy arsed, corrupt, incompetent people?
Do we let the kids and old people suffer because the mayor is not what we expect a mayor should be?
Do people die because the hospital administrator is an idiot who did not stockpile enough fuel to run for 2 weeks without electricity?
Do we ignore them for not texting us their needs?
Marshall law, send Honore in. He knows how to deal with incompetent corrupt people and get the job done.
Pay attention. Even General Honore is critical of Trump and is calling for more boots and equipment on the ground and is praising the Puerto Rico national guard. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...ump-for-puerto
In this case I am not judging what Trump said. I have never been to Puerto Rico and don't know how their elected leaders do things there. Maybe Trump is just telling it like it is?? Trump did seem supportive in helping get supplies and food to PR.
Trump and his administration have repeatedly called this a "good news story," even as people are in dire situations and dying from lack of help. Is that what you call "telling it like it is"? It seems more like Trump patting himself on the back so he can feel good about going off to spend yet another weekend golfing.
It took 10 days to get our military down there and U.S. hospital ship isn't due to dock until Sunday. How many days worth of food and water do you think people should have stock piled? 10 days, 20, 30? Hindsight is always 20-20 and there was every reason to believe help from the mainland would have come sooner than than it did!
At least 15 days is prudent in a hurricane prone area, 30 would be better. I have more than that and don't live in an area prone to natural disasters.
