more obfuscation at cite; This is a katrina part deaux.,\...Gov. Nagan (sp)

It will become exceedingly difficult to blame Trump, but they will try to explain it is DjT's personal responsibility to hand out bottles of water

The Mayor voted for Hillary Clinton and campaigned for her..she is as corrupt as they come. She refused to help the citizens of Puerto Rico because she wanted to hurt Trump..politics trumped helping her fellow citizens, that is how corrupt that piece of sh*t is

Is there a law the mayor could theoretically be procecuted for this, even though nothing will ever happens. Demof**k means never having to say your sorry, or face consequences

in the photo’s it looks like the water bottles have been places on concrete not “Tarmac.” Reporters are idiots.

Meanwhile, they’re trying to run down Trump’s polls prior to the midterms. The Guardian has gone all Florence/Maria all week long.

There was a problem in delivering supplies because of washed out roads.

They were probably intended for areas that were inaccessible.

Did they show the pictures of supplies sitting in government warehouses in Puerto Rico rotting while they claim no supplies have been delivered?

The Puerto Rican government stole the supplies.

They even stole the electrical equipment, and were caught.

I'm reminded about a book I read by a WW2 GI who landed at Anzio and fought his way all the way up the Italian boot, then across France into Germany. He said that in Germany when each German village was cleared of the Nazis, the people were immediately out cleaning the streets, etc. He said, meanwhile back in Italy they were still waiting for help to arrive.

(There were only a handful of Anzio GI's that survived that march to Germany)

A better sign would advertise it for $5.00 per bottle saying that it’s an honor system and they can leave the money in an assigned spot.

It would be gone in a day.

Oh...okay. I was upset for a moment worrying that millions of bottles of WINE had been abandoned!

There was another problem, they had no truck drivers because they went on strike. Containers filled the shipping docks while ships waited at sea to unload..........

The truck drivers demanded to paid in cash $$ before they would move any loads. There are still unloaded containers in PR that are filled with relief supplies. I know a relief organization that tried to ship generators into San Juan, but could not get them delivered. It was all corrupt over $$$.

The bottles were brought inland in 2017

in the wake of the hurricane and were turned over to

“central government” who failed to deliver it.

“It seems PREPA (Puerto Rican Electric Power Authority) was stockpiling and hording materials that were hidden from aid workers who have been trying to restore power to the island. “

“Thousands on the island are still without energy and no one knows
what the death count could possibly be at this point from not having power.

One could only imagine the heartache and betrayal felt by
the Puerto Rican people knowing that supplies and material
were being kept from men and women trying to
bring the island’s power back online.
