The self serving, lying, despicable politicians in Puerto Rico spent weeks bashing Trump while hiding aid from their citizens
They should all go to prison quickly for this unforgivable crime against citizens who desperately needed help

Puerto Rico mob finds unused disaster supplies
Politicians in Puerto Rico spent weeks bashing President Trump while hiding aid from their citizens.
An angry crowd in earthquake-rattled Puerto Rico stormed a warehouse Saturday after learning that it contained a stash of emergency supplies — that had been sitting untouched since Hurricane Maria slammed the island in 2017.
Word of the squandered supplies spread online Saturday after blogger Lorenzo Delgado posted a video on Facebook of locals breaking into the warehouse, which is shown to be holding cases of bottled water and other emergency supplies.
Locals are seen hauling cases out of the warehouse, and — in one image — distributing the supplies to a throng of people outside.
“This is outrageous,” Ponce Mayor Maria Melendez told reporters. “Everyone knows what us mayors went through after Hurricane Maria and to try and get help to our cities and how we’ve worked these weeks to provide basic supplies to people affected by earthquakes.”
“Those involved owe us an explanation,” she said.
The discovery prompted Gov. Wanda Vazquez to fire the island’s director of emergency management, Carlos Acevedo, and to order a full investigation into the matter.
“There are thousands of people who have made sacrifices to help those in the south, and it is unforgivable that resources were kept in the warehouse,” Vazquez said, noting that the supplies had been in the warehouse since Maria.
The governor has asked the Puerto Rican senate to install Jose Reyes, head of the island’s national guard, as the new commissioner of emergency management. Secretary of State Elmer Roman told Univision news Saturday that there may also be other warehouses on the island with unused stores of supplies.
He said officials hoped to wrap up the initial probe within 48 hours.

Nothing will change until they string up the people responsible as a warning to other crooks in the governments.
““Those involved owe us an explanation,” she said.”
That’s easy, those who control the supplies have the power...and certainly in Third World countries like Puerto Rico.
*shrug* the picture is from Portland, wadja expect?
True, but the main purpose for hiding the supplies was political- the Democratic Party wanted to do to Trump in Hurricane Maria [recall the female Mayor with the custom made “We’re dying” T-shirt] what they did to Bush with Hurricane Katrina.
Trump’s fault!
They hired sons and daughters of the influential folks...to junior positions in the government, and ended up with managers without any real ethics or knowledge.
I wonder if there were a bunch of generators and chainsaws in the warehouses because those high value items are offered by FEMA after hurricanes here.
I hope that they have the 2nd Amendment so that they can defend themselves.

That sounds super gross!
Oh! Those items are Loooong gone...
Oh! Those items are Loooong gone...
Oh! Those items are Loooong gone...
Won’t change their opinion of Trump..because they suck!
Put them under oath.
Ebay spechulz...doncha know....fell off the backa da truck...
Sound like a perfectly good reason for Tar & Feathers.
I am a member of an Association that sent supplies to PR. There were 100’s of Ocean Containers sitting on the docks. The truck drivers would not move anything until they were paid in cash. The back-up at the docks made moving supplies impossible. The PR Government did nothing to get the truck drivers to move the containers into the area of need. It was a complete cluster bomb.
Probably but then dumping them on the market all at once is counterproductive, it’ll lower the resale value. If you have your own warehouse or don’t have to pay storage fees you can sell at leisure to get the best prices.
