Unbelievable!
But you have to wonder how many other distribution points on the island also have trailers full of aid. The point being, the national guard is not under federal control. It is run by the state government, who also dropped the ball on distributing FEMA supplies in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane.
Trump was blamed for an inadequate response - just like Bush was blamed for Katrina screw ups. The media was strangely quiet during the Obama years when natural disasters hit, despite similar screw ups in the aid pipeline.

If this could have been done Hurricane Katrina to embarrass Bush, it would have been done.

How about the leaders (cough cough) in Puerto Rico taking some responsibility.
Not the National Guards fault...The Puerto Rican leaders were responsible for picking this stuff up. The National Guard doesn't distribute directly to the people at some point.

I say send in the armed forces to get supplies moving and at least nominal infrastructure.

The plan is to get Puerto Ricans to flee to Florida and thus tip the electoral votes.

Doesn’t surprise me one bit, the way truck drivers and such had their hands out. Somebody didn’t get paid, so relief supplies didn’t get distributed. The only other likely scenario is that screeching harpy if a mayor hid the supplies so they wouldn’t show up on camera and shatter her narrative about how the US is racist and stuff. Sorry, my give-a-damn is broken.

The mayor could not find a buyer to get rid of her Trump finger pointing crime.

Ditto! IMO ANY people, of ANY culture who are too damn dumb, lazy or both to organize the distribution of necessities GIVEN them just deserve whatever happens to them.
They can wait on their island for others to hand feed them and wipe their butts until the next hurricane wipes them all away. What a waste of things others could use.

That cow, she said that aid couldn’t get to the island.
And yet.... somehow... she could get a freshly printed leftist buzzword teeshirt?

What happens when the Democrats control the local government. You can bet that this story will never appear on 60 Minutes.

The reason this was left by the DIMwit loser LIB politicians to rot was that they couldn’t figure-out how to steal it without being caught.
