boomerangutang Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 5 hours ago, Jingthing said: There is no doubt that PR will suffer more because they have no representation in Washington D.C. Yeah it's an island. So is Hawaii. It would be interesting if the Hurricane passed over Nantucket or Manhattan - both of which are islands. Would Trump wait two weeks for an assessment, and then decide whether to do anything? Also: Trump is scheduled to meet with self-appointed Thai PM Prayut on the 3rd. Will the meet in PR? Will Trump call off the meeting? It might be a 50 second meet, quick handshake, smile by Trump (with cameras clicking) saying, "We love what you're doing, but I gotta go, sorry. Talk to my people, Jared, or whatever. He speaks for me." 5 hours ago, Srikcir said: Trump could ask his Secretary of Interior. From the US 2010 Census: https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/dc10_thematic/2010_Profile/2010_Profile_Map_Puerto_Rico.pdf Is that a joke chart? No Latinos in PR. Wow, that's a surprise! I had a brief affair with a PR woman. She was the most nympho woman I've ever been close to, and I've been with a few. She even wanted me to toss her into some bramble bushes (which, of course, I didn't do). Extreeeeme. 2 hours ago, eddie61 said: God save America! Because only God can save America. I think that pig ignorance and lacking edumacation, poor leadership, and lack of vision have sunk it, but you never know God's will. Lets see if God can do what others have tried and failed to do... What does God have to do with anything? God is a formulated figment of gullible peoples' imagination. If a disaster happens, people shout, 'Oh my God!' If something great happens, people shout 'Oh, praise God.' God is the ultimate shape-shifter - He's whatever you want him to be. By being all things to deists, He becomes nothing. Think about it.

For the 2020 Census selection of race will be broadened to add Hispanic, Latino or Spanish, black or African-American, Asian, American Indian or Alaska native, Middle Eastern or North African, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander or "Some other race or ethnicity." Then, within each of those categories, one can get more specific. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnists/2017/03/16/census-bureau-aside-hispaniclatino-not-race/99173326/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "manana" mentality is perfect for soothing tourists sucking on tall cocktails with umbrellas, but perhaps not best suited for disaster relief. Gee, I hope your family doesn't get smashed in a storm and lose everything. If they do, I promise to make some fancy drinks with cheap alcohol and plenty of mini umbrellas (plastic) for the whole bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It is an island that has been devastated, the federal gov't needs to take control and quickly. It is NOT the Puerto Ricans who are at fault. They don't have electricity, water or fuel. Without fuel, the trucks can't deliver anything, the roads can't be cleared and the electricity can't be restored Texas and Florida are both part of the mainland, neighboring states came to the rescue. They could drive there and bring their boats. Water, food and supplies were reasonably easy to get to the region. PR, on the other hand, could not evacuate -- they couldn't just drive out of danger. Even ships were prevented from delivering goods because of federal restrictions. This is one of the saddest commentaries on the President imaginable.

The role of the govt. is: Purpose of U.S. Government Now we'll turn our attention to the specific functions of the United States government, which are found in the Constitution's preamble. Here they are: 1. 'To form a more perfect Union' 2. 'To establish Justice' 3. 'To insure domestic Tranquility' 4. 'To provide for the common defense' 5. 'To promote the general Welfare' 6.

Stargeezr Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I hope that all Americans will remember Trumps response to Puerto Rico as well as the Carribeans in general, and in a New Real leader in the next Federal election. Trump is well out of his league and is showing him self to be a self centered guy, who just cannot be interested in somewhere that won.t help him come the next election. Keep on being ignorant mr President, you are doing a real fine job. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pentagon assigned an Army one-star general as point person for the humanitarian crisis. In the Pentagon a brigadier general is a "go-fer." He was recently replaced by a three-star general Jeff Buchanan. Retired three-star general Russel Honore slammed Trump: “Not giving the mission to the military” was the first mistake, ....

ilostmypassword Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Trump warns Puerto Rico: ‘We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders . . . forever!’ President Trump served notice Thursday that he may pull back federal relief workers from Puerto Rico, effectively threatening to abandon the U.S. territory amid a staggering humanitarian crisis in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Declaring the U.S. territory's electrical grid and infrastructure to have been a “disaster before hurricanes,” Trump wrote Thursday that it will be up to Congress how much federal money to appropriate to the island for its recovery efforts and that recovery workers will not stay “forever.” In a trio of tweets, Trump wrote” “We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/10/12/trump-warns-puerto-rico-we-cannot-keep-fema-the-military-the-first-responders-forever/?nid&utm_term=.b3bde8a47fda Clearly, Donald Trump is the President of all Americans.
