"SNIP............


While Trump was tweeting and obsessing over the NFL, he didn’t receive a briefing on Puerto Rico from anyone involved in disaster relief for four days.

The Washington Post lays out the timeline, “As Hurricane Maria made landfall on Wednesday, Sept. 20, there was a frenzy of activity publicly and privately. The next day, President Trump called local officials on the island, issued an emergency declaration and pledged that all federal resources would be directed to help. But then for four days after that — as storm-ravaged Puerto Rico struggled for food and water amid the darkness of power outages — Trump and his top aides effectively went dark themselves. Trump jetted to New Jersey that Thursday night to spend a long weekend at his private golf club there, save for a quick trip to Alabama for a political rally. Neither Trump nor any of his senior White House aides said a word publicly about the unfolding crisis.”

In typical Trump administration fashion, Sarah Huckabee Sanders called the story false:

1. Clueless and a clear and present danger to the world.

Deplorable

4. And, the rest of his scumbag party was silent the whole time.

May Karma come back and bite all their asses good and hard.

6. This is the point I have been making!

Where are the Republican leaders? They should be trying to pressure this very sick man into action and using other means at their disposal to get things done. Nothing but crickets from them. The believe their tax cuts to their Donors are the most important thing by far. More important than life itself (as long as it is other people's lives)!

They MUST be made to pay in 2018 and 2020!!!

5. I think the NFL obsession came from Russia and

Putin saying, look at those sons of bitches kneeling during anthem. In Russia, we shoot them. They should be fired. Putin knew this would play well in Alabama. They know America better than we do.

7. Facebook and Twitter are still involved and used to promote the Antifa and NFL racial tensions.

There are ads and posts by Russian bots who are STILL continuing their mission to intensify racial tensions in the US and the fake prez administration has the same goal so they could even actively be in cahoots. Nothing has been done by the administration to stop Putin as well as the fact that Facebook and Twitter are definitely not complying with the requests from the Congressional investigations. Also, I read on DU two days ago 45 hasn't started the Congressional sanctions on Russia yet for some reason. I do not understand the details but even though he reluctantly signed the sanctions, they aren't enacted yet.

We are still being controlled by Putin with 45's help. Now victims in Puerto Rico will suffer due to their political conspiring to derail democracies.

8. They've been exploiting American weaknesses for years,

and our lousy history on race relations is our biggest weakness. They gave us a racist president. Miission accomplished.

10. Fox and Fiends talked about the NFL at 8:32, Donnie tweeted about the NFL at 8:45.

9. My gawd.

[Nay]

11. So, the Dolt couldn't even look at a news report and say to himself, "Gee,

maybe I ought to ask one of my BEST PEOPLE to look into the damage in PR and report back to me?"

Of course it never occurred to him. He didn't think PR was part of the US.

12. Trump let people die
