if you listen to Maggie Haberman who covers Cheeto extensively his rant in AL was actually to play to you tards in the crowd. it was pretty much only that. just to get the crowd in that particular venue clapping & cheering. The post Twitter meltdown is all his obsession to not be proven wrong.GromsDad said:Actually the targets are the left wing media and left wing snowflakes like you.

Is Puerto Rico Trump's Katrina?

No. You eat up like a retarded puppy while the rest of us sit back and wonder how we got to this point. You are Trump's base. You LOVE him.

Like watching these guys........
I don't think that what's happening, especially the business with the Jones Act, is right, but the territory/state distinction could be a factorStuAzole said:
And unless there is a Russian Dead Hand device I'm pretty sure anyone who has nukes pointed at us isn't going to care if we retaliate if Guam gets hit with one

or CalExit. that's the risk and obligation you take exiting a safety net government system. The Jones Act was economically hurting Puerto Rico prior to the hurricane as shipping cost were doubled as pretty much all their goods first had to go to mainland ports before coming to them.frvcvs said:Should I go back and dig up all the posts on this forum from the Obama era with talk of Texas secession?ifallalot said:

Trump admin already denied their request. Stu attached an article that explains the reasoning behind the denial. It's facially valid, but all indications from people who are actually in PR and know wtf is going on there is that the stated excuse for the denial (plenty of US ships to do the work and not enough room for non-US vessels) is total bullshit.GDaddy said:
that's why they need to send in our military (Sea Bee'ssizzld1 said:

What exactly is our strategic interest in PR at this point?
It would be nice if we helped them back on their feet, but after that . . .?

They seem ungrateful
These clueless, hair-trigger, instant gratification Dems have no idea the logistics it takes to get literally tons of supplies to an isolated island over 1000 miles away from Mainland USA into the few accessible ports and cleared runways there. It would take a few days alone to clear/make airport runways safe for large aircraft. Large ships take a few days at least to get there from any regional Naval ports on the E. Coast.
For the geographic clueless, PR is a isolated territory 1000 miles away, and not a mainland state that can get truckloads of supplies and water in hours. We have no other territories in the region with supplies stored at a moments noticed to just drive in on trucks, let alone boat or planeload in. It's been barely 7 days since Maria made it's first landfall, and most military response was making large supply landings within 72-84 hours of hurricane landfall.
Kauai was lucky with Iniki, at least they had Oahu and a large Naval and military presence less than 100 miles away to send supplies over immediately, and it still took weeks to get some semblance of power restored.
PR was a mess to begin with, and it just got a lot worse for them. But it looks like military response is filling in the last few days. Those first few days were hell on earth there, I'm sure. They still have a long slog ahead, but when you're 1000 miles from mainland USA with no other nearby sources of supplies, that's going to take a few days to iron out, no matter who was "in charge". 3 disasters back to back to back is lot to ask of ANY emergency response system, no matter how much $$$ you throw at it. REALITY.
