You think she would have went that far had Trump didn't behave the way he did?

I still think he said what he said so that he can be like "we've decided to stay in PR" so that all of his supporters will be like "liberals will complain even when he does a good thing" despite the whole situation being manufactured

Ambiguously accusing people of missing some vital context that completely changes the meaning of the facts we have without ever explaining what that context is seems to be the newest means of weaseling your way out of admitting you're wrong.

People are dying. The rest of what you said is true. But the supplies she spoke in front of were brought up in that conversation and they're saying they need more and help to logistically move them around.

Remind me how making special order shirts and hats when there is allegedly no power and everyone is dying, can be both possible and a responsible thing for an elected official to be doing during a crisis.

Everyone already knows they were hit by two hurricanes, what's the point of going around in all your special order hats and t-shirts and complaining about the president because you can't be bothered to push out all that freight he sent you and still want more.

Pretty clear all that dumb bitch was doing was publicity for her inevitable reelection.

The context where other mayors have called her out for skipping meetings with FEMA to do television interviews?

The mayor of San Juan is blatantly partisan. It's disgusting.

Oh yeah, the mayor of the city neighboring her's called her out on that and some "WH official" said the same thing when asked why Trump didn't meet her yet.

Lol, upon being proven wrong about literally everything, @CruelBuffalo links to a vox article about death tolls, as if it proves FEMA isn't doing their best to get aid to them or that the politicians in PR aren't scumbags.

Such ignorance from the regressive left.

It's well known only 20 of the Teamsters actually showed up to work and her response is blame everything on the President because she's a dumb fraud that's basing her next campaign on "standing up to the big bad republican" as opposed to doing something other than talking out her own ass and watching people you eat it all up because you just love that stuff..

I can't speak to FEMA's response since I don't know of the logistics of it, but I do know throwing paper towels was not a good response from Trump.

So your criticism went from "Trump is responsible for deaths" to "Well, he looked like an asshole for throwing people paper towels"

The beautiful part is that some people will say it's so easy to blame trump because of trump. Why is it so easy to blame trump? Because trump. Endless loop indeed.

Get a new pair of eyeballs. She's not "brown". She's white. And she was running her mouth about "genocide" almost immediately after the hurricane hit. Other PR officials have spoken out against her, calling her comments inaccurate.

It's hard to restore infrastructure on an island where the truckers are refusing to transport relief in from the ports for less than $50 an hour in some cases. Puerto Rico is a disaster but it has nothing to do with the federal response.

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello responded on Thursday to President Trump's warning that federal emergency workers will not stay on the island "forever," saying that the U.S. territory's residents are only asking for the same assistance that other Americans would receive.

"The U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico are requesting the support that any of our fellow citizens would receive across our Nation," Rossello wrote on Twitter.

So... about as long as FEMA lingers around Houston then? That's unlikely to be "forever" either.
