CONGRESS INVESTIGATIONS (in days)

I have not read a thing about anyone looking into the horrible death toll in Porto Rico.--and most likely will not unless we get a Dem Congress
**On Edit---I encourage you all to forward these or to call you Congress Rep and Senators. Americans DIED and Hurricane Maria deserves an investigation.

1. The only reason they would investigate it is to see how to kill more next time.

That to still be one after x, y or z, makes you a BAD person.

There were plenty examples of this before putin stole the 2016 election and installed a traitor, but now they are much more obvious in that most republicans either are taking money from russian mobsters or are aligning with them politically as in voters.


NO MATTER what happens in November, we have a big real bad real violent problem ahead, no way around it. Especially when rump orders his base to exact revenge on us.

Thanks for not arguing with me, BTW

from mobilizing a GOTV effort like none other seen since the 60s. "The Dream shall never die." That is not enough. I want to bring a better world into reality. Yes, We Can

7. Good point about the Puerto Rico hurricane disaster

I'm wondering about another thing: was there ever an investigation into the mishandling/disaster in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina? My God the way those people in New Orleans were ignored and then horribly mishandled was another GOP nightmare.

Of course it's too late to do anything about it now, but we obviously need to help Puerto Rico anyway we can.
