Sweet Jesus. The mayor of an AMERICAN city is on TV begging for the most basic of supplies

[Stinky The Clown]

Mayor Cruz of San Juan, PR is on Maddow's hour describing what her city needs. Today two ICU patients in one of her city's hospitals died because of lack of diesel fuel for the hospital's generators.

NYC's DiBlasio and Chicago's Emanuel have both sent substantial crews and some supplies to San Juan to help.

FEMA is on the ground now.

HRC called for the Navy to respond. She called for the hospital ship USNS Comfort to be dispatched.

The orange fats motherfucker is too busy with NFL bullshit to give a fat fuck. His comments today about Puerto Rico PROVES he neither knows nor cares what happens to the people there.

Meanwhile ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the power grid is DESTROYED.

I am sure that, somehow, the right wing will find a way to blame the good people of Puerto Rico for their current crisis.

[pangaia]

1. Fuckwad already has been blaming them for their own plight.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Next he'll blame them for being "in the middle of a big ocean"

[pangaia]

4. Stinky, you're baiting me, aren't you..

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Nononono . . . . Dotard actually said that in a presser!

[pangaia]

10. I Know that.

So I thought you didn't think I knew that and then I would say, " Dotard actually said that in a presser!," and then you would laugh at me..and say, 'made you look.'

just like with fuckwad blaming the people of PR..I said he already said that, but you alrready knew he said that and I thought your post then was ........
Do you have any idea what I am talking about? I do. But it sure doesn't SOUND like I do..does it..

I just got out of a 2 hour rehearsal of PINES OF ROME and my ears are still ringing from the freakin' 38" Wuhan gong!! And l bet you never sat behind the horns in that piece, didja?

[Stinky The Clown]

13. .........

Ouch! I'll pass!

[pangaia]

15. The only saving grace is that I was the one playing the gong.

And you can believe me, I KILLED IT, MAN Big TIME !!!!!
me against 5 French Horn blowing their brains OUT..

YEE HAW !!!!!!!

[longship]

22. I know the part. It builds and builds and builds...

Ah yes... Respighi! Wonderful orchestration. I haven't heard it in many years, but that part is replaying in my brain as I read your post.

Thanks for that!

[pangaia]

33. Oh, amazing.. glad to bring it to you..

It is fun...

[LiberalLovinLug]

31. That's President Fuckwad, show some respect!

[pangaia]

34. Opps apologies....

[lastlib]

44. My term of respect would be *pResiDunce* Fuckwad....

that's all the respect I can muster for the basturd.

[LiberalLovinLug]

46. sounds about right

[icymist]

3. The Dotard is more concerned about the debt those poor 'brown' people owe Wall St.

I would bet the idiot didn't even know where Puerto Rico is until he discovered the Atlantic Ocean!

[SharonAnn]

23. From my Facebook page, how Trump left Puerto Rico to pay $33 million bond

Recent Post on my Facebook -

Donald Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble.

Lainie Green
@AureliaGroup

Massive debt you and your sons helped when you bankrupted your golf course & never paid back the $33 million bond you left Puerto Ricans with.
You remember because you filed for the bankruptcy a month after you started running for president in 2015.
So how much are you going to give back of the $600,000 paycheck you got for sticking Puerto Rico with a $33 million debt?
You are a fraud, shit businessman and a terrible President racking up a civilian body count. #Resign

5. Think like Trump

PR went big time for Rubio in the GOP primary

[MADem]

25. Rubio's already been down there.

http://sunshinestatenews.com/story/marco-rubio-puerto-rico-crisis

Cuomo too.
He was there last Friday. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/new-york/articles/2017-09-22/ny-gov-cuomo-heading-to-puerto-rico-to-help-recovery-effort


They didn't activate the USNS Comfort until Hillary suggested it.

This administration is incompetent. States and private individuals are doing what Trump has been slow to do.

[democrank]

7. The mayor's interview made me cry.

What a desperate situation. It's awful

[Stinky The Clown]

8. I'll admit it.

I was on the verge.

[Initech]

9. No they'll blame the democrats for this before they blame Puerto Rico.

[DBoon]

38. somehow they will make it Obama's fault

Just wait

[Initech]

42. The heartless bastards never take responsibility for their own actions.

It's always the other guy's fault.

[Skittles]

11. please, everyone google HOW TO HELP PUERTO RICO

DONATE! They need our help.

[lpbk2713]

12. I hope they give Trump the reception he deserves.

I can't imagine any reception that would be too bad.

[The Genealogist]

14. Have we yet determined of Dotard McShitstain even knows yet that Puerto Rico is part of the US?

It is so pathetic, the way he acts like an total imbecile so his base will stroke his ego, while Americans are in dire circumstances and in need of immediate help. So presidential...if you are talking about the presidency of the Dickhead Society.

[pangaia]

16. Somebnpody should suggest to him we create fast track visas

for the citizens of Puerto Rico so they can come here quickly.

[smirkymonkey]

17. The stupid orange fat fuck is too busy whipping up hate against brown people to

help brown AMERICANS who are fighting for their lives! He is such a sick fuck! I can't even say what I want to happen to him. I would get banned here for life.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Not discounting your sentiment, but . . . . .

. . . . . Puerto Rico is about 80% white.

[cwydro]

24. Many even here don't realize that.

Things that make you go hmm...

[bettyellen]

28. It's a self chosen descriptor and most are mixed but choose white despite being a lovely caramel

Color your average red neck would never call white .
There's always been tons of discrimination against darker skin people throughout most of Latin America and the the Caribbean. Being whiter gives you status with too many to this day, sadly. I bet many people here don't realize that.

[MADem]

26. But it's about Zero Percent Successful Trump Golf Course or Tower....

Which makes it a Covfefe Go Fuck Yerself locale as far as Trump is concerned.

He's a vengeful shit. That golf course didn't pay, so PR is gonna.

[Tatiana]

18. Yet another reminder of how little this administration values lives.

La Primera Dama de Puerto Rico (the First Lady of PR) is coordinating an effort to get help to PR from the private sector.

You can donate here:

http://unidosporpuertorico.com/en/

This is a national disgrace. The videos I have seen are heartbreaking. Our elderly and little ones are suffering and they need help. Despite the fact that PR is an island, our naval force has the training and capacity to assist in logistical support to ensure the safety of these citizens.

They are running low on the most basic of supplies, such as insulin for diabetics. Most people only had enough supplies for maybe 4-5 days. The situation is critical. We need to pressure our officials to provide assistance to PR. Most of the agricultural crops are gone. The country will not be able to survive, let alone recover without swift and forceful assistance.

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Meanwhile, Mark Cuban dispatches the team jet to support Puerto Rico relief.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/09/26/mark-cuban-lends-mavericks-plane-to-puerto-rico-native-j-j-barea-for-hurricane-relief-efforts/?utm_term=.f3e16ae31485

[Skittles]

21. I am assured by our "president" he is doing a GREAT job

"Everybody has said it’s amazing the job we have done in Puerto Rico"

[Grammy23]

27. I lost count of how many times he congratulated himself

on the OUTSTANDING job he and his administration are doing. Meanwhile, the people in Puerto Rico are literally begging for help. Help that tRump claims is already underway. He sickens me more every day. When will he decide it is time to crank up the help to situation critical? After people start dying in droves of dehydration?? This could be trump's Katrina if he doesn't wake up.

[Skittles]

30. seems like sports folk doing fundraisers are doing more than our f***ing "president"

it sickens me too -- my heart goes out to the people in PR - I keep urging everyone to donate to the fundraisers. I donated to Carmelo Anthony's.

[Ilsa]

50. Best reply on this subject I saw on DU was here:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9639485

The first thing that occurred to me was, "Who sharted out this word salad?" followed closely by "How motherfuckin' needy do you have to be to huff your own farts like that?" Practically no admission that the administration's response to Puerto Rico has been about seven days late and several million dollars short, coupled with the stop-the-presses news that Puerto Rico is an island. In the middle of water. That you can't just drive a truck to.

[Honeycombe8]

29. My heart is breaking. Surely we can do better than this? I'm guessing the fact they're Hispanic is a

factor with Trump. Or that they are Dems, most likely, he thinks? He was johnny on the spot in rich Houston in a red state and red governorship Florida.

Or he simply doesn't care and with his short attention span has lost interest in this "disaster thing."

He hasn't done anything for Puerto Rico, has he? Ordered anything? The Navy, like HRC suggested?

[yuiyoshida]

32. Well of course, they are mostly HISPANIC, so the WHITE SUPREMACIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE

REALLY DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK, THAT's brown people dying there, to him. He doesn't consider the fact there might even be white people there... but fuck them for choosing to live there, Right Trump???

[Skittles]

35. PR is actually 80% white

but I doubt Trump even knew American citizens lived there

[JonLP24]

36. Hispanics can be of any race

I'm not sure how that applies to PR but self iddentifying as white doesn't rule out the Hispanic part.

[Bengus81]

41. White--76% but 95% speak Spanish--english is the second language....

So..well I guess Trump is confused!

[raccoon]

37. Truly, the GOP has made America great again.

This is what the Republicans have reduced us too. Everything for the corporations and the big shots, nothing for the common people. This is been going on for almost 40 years now.

[MineralMan]

39. Puerto Rico? Isn't that in Mexico?

[Bengus81]

40. Well....IF they'd pay their bill to Wall St. fat cats then maybe......

[VaBchTgerLily]

43. Puerto Rico is yesterdays news to Trump.....

He made his cameo comments for the news headlines-now it's out of sight, out of mind

[lunatica]

45. He's full of covfefe

[onecent]

47. the Dotard is an ass, A GIANT BIG ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ineeda]

48. I'm heartbroken, but even more -- enraged.

But you're slightly wrong - they'll blame the people of Puerto Rico, of course, but only secondarily. Their primary villain is -- wait for it ----Obama, somehow.

BTW - Irma missed me, but we spent several frightening days watching what happened in the Caribbean and the Keys and 'suffered' less than a week without power after the storm passed us. We had food, running water, flushing toilets, etc. I can imagine what those poor people are going through, having nothing and being ignored.

[Scurrilous]

49. K&R

[Ilsa]

51. This could be any city he doesn't like.

And his supporters will claim it is justified.

I doubt CA will be able to count on him for any help with any natural disasters.

[calimary]

52. Don't forget how he's almost broken his own arm patting himself on the back

for "what a great job" his "administration*" is doing on this. The governor called. Said we're doing a really great job.

Actually, Donald, yes, you are. You're doing a great job being a lying, cheating, misleading, vainglorious, pathetically ignorant, utterly incompetent ASSHOLE.

[tymorial]

53. Massachusetts has also offered aid

Trump is reprehensible.
