Post 38 was ridiculous and would never be made by anybody with knowledge of this disaster and disaster management.

You're an expert man.

Hardly. Just know more than you about practically everything. Of course, that's not saying a whole lot....


Wait for it....





....*snicker*

Well Canuck I think you better edjumicate me since you were a DDS of a municipality

It's a question that cannot be answered without a complete list of available resources...that are still available after the initial incident.

By definition, a disaster overwhelms a juristictions ability to respond so it's laughable to suggest they just need to "get organized"

Some reading for you

Post 38 was ridiculous and would never be made by anybody with knowledge of this disaster and disaster management.

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who led Katrina relief, slams response to Puerto Rico

"Would you clear the roads first? Would you get the power grid up? Or is it all simultaneous?" Miller asked.
"This is not a sequential operation. I would tell the local mayors to start hiring people, get a yellow pad out and we clear the damn roads. Clear 'em the old way," he said. "You got 80 men with hand tools going to clear a road, they'll clear five miles a day."
After returning from his fact-finding mission in Puerto Rico next week, the general says he's going to Washington:

I guess he isn't a DDS for a Municipality either

So what exactly has that Mayor NOT done to get the supplies distributed?



You have your biased opinion about her perceived saltiness, nothing more.

You have no way of knowing what would have happened had Hilary become president.

You are far too salty to see past your own tears. And you should be upset and salty given what trumps doing. Not that you'd ever admit it...too much machismo is my guess.

As far as news reports indicate she has not done a single thing except point her fat tinger. The MAyor has the entire city staff and equipment at her disposal to distribute supplies. It would appear this is far to complicated for her. BTW it is her job to make it happen.

Is that directed at me Eagle?

Well Canuck I think you better edjumicate me since you were a DDS of a municipality

The closest he ever came to managing a disaster is cleaning up the mess when a pallet of empty beer bottles fell over in the recycling center.

News reports you say? hmm, should we start a news article face off? What they did right against what they did wrong? we can throw around how it's all fake news, pro trump, anti trump, anti puerto rica, pro puerto rico new, etc.

Sounds...boring. Think I'll just go with the fact that trumps an idiot who's only real talent is deflecting any responsibility, all the while patting himself on the back for the achievements of others.

The problem is that he INTERFERES in any achievements of others. eg: going back and forth on the health care issue. Now doing the same with taxation. He continuously sens mixed messages as if in doing so he will have control over the situation and HIS input is the most important. He is an idiot and a psycho. Plus he has NO frigging CLUE.........and refuses to listen to those that do.

Seriously. She's complaining that they are not receiving aid in front of stacks upon stacks of aid sitting idle behind her.

Not sure it is a good idea to take photos "literally".;-) Distribution HAS been a problem. THIS relief effort has been sloppy. For probably a mix of reason;s. But for Trump to give himself a TEN is just shameful.

FEMA and the Gov. don't hand out the items, local officials and volunteers do



Did you read the link?

quote: "“ governor [Ricardo Rosselló] is in charge. I’ve asked the federal officials. They keep saying under the Stafford Act the governor is in charge .., anyone who is withholding supplies is in violation of federal and state law.”


How then can Democrats be withholding anything when it is the island's Republican pols who are in charge?
