Basically "yeah they're dead but it's not **my** fault so whatever", which doesn't exactly make one look good.
If I recall the governor of PR refused to outlaw a truckers strike during the Maria recovery.
The pile of water is just astounding when you think about it. FEMA moved thousands of tons of bottled water to PR and handed it over to locals who ***FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT IT***
"Hey what's that giant pile of water doing there?"
"I dunno. Not my problem"
@King Canuck lol that would cost you about six dollars here. Good deal
Worse than Ray Nagin not using the school buses to evacuate people.
what the bracelet?
yeah, It's nice
Worth the two bucks
Is trump playing forth dimensional chess again?
no, he's too busy summoning hurricanes with his dark magic
the washington post said so, so it must be true
I think he expects the cleanup from Florence to go much more smoothly than Maria.
And the idea is to shove all the blame for Maria onto the PR government. Kinda pointless.
I’m we have better infrastructure sooooo
“Better”
I think he realizes that regardless of the competency of the PR government, he did not do enough to ensure that the aftermath was handled properly.
If there was not enough transportation or heavy machinery available, he could've sent in marines or national guard.
Expect overcompensation after Florence. Photo ops galore.
As a Puerto Rican
Who deals with hurricanes all the time
He’s right
And I get where he’s coming from
The democrats are right also in their own way
The thing is the dems are being disingenuous because all they care about doing is calling him wrong and a racist
When he says “a few dozen died because of the hurricane” he’s referring to direct death caused by the hurricane immediately
I see Elon Musk avatar
The dems never bother making this distinction
Reminds me
His compulsive nodding during that interview
Reminded me
The dems don’t care about having a real discussion they just want to smear shit all over the place
So it pisses me off when I hear the dems being disingenuous and using Puerto Rican deaths for political gain
As a Puerto Rican it pisses me off even more
Now when it comes to trump he said Puerto Rican’s are basically just Mexicans or some shit
So he can fuck himself too
Just not for this
What I would like to see is a proper investigation of what happened and the development of better plans for distribution of aid in the future. Identify local government resources, identify what local private resources can be appropriated, make plans for getting local volunteers to help, and make plans for filling any shortfall in local distribution infrastructure with national guard (or failing that, marines). Instead we're getting political shit-flinging.
What they need is to become independent and rid themselves of the shitty American import laws that force them to only have imports from American ships
