The Trump Administration is Letting Americans Die in Puerto Rico, Nurses Say
BY LINLEY SANDERS ON 10/13/17 AT 2:52 PM

An elderly woman in Puerto Rico is helpless as her husband's body becomes a patchwork of ulcers and sores from Parkinson's disease. Another woman risks respiratory disease from a mold-infested bedroom and destroyed roof.

The snapshots come from American volunteers on the devastated island who are working with the American Federation of Teachers. The union has sent 40 nurses to Puerto Rico, where the natural disaster of Hurricane Maria and neglect from the Trump administration has created a perfect storm of death, disease and decay across an island of 3.4 million American citizens.

"This disaster is caused by neglect by the federal government," union president Randi Weingarten told Newsweek. "That's why this is such a tragedy. For President Trump to say they're safe is cruel and an abstention of responsibility."

1. If one Puerto Rican in 34 dies as a direct result of an inadequate relief effort...

...that's 100,000 people killed by negligence. One in 34 sounds optimistic to me.

2. Dereliction of duty. More than enough to take him out of office

[Doodley]

3. But his only duties are to destroy things, send insulting Tweets and play golf.

4. Then he gets an A+

6. And sign big tax cuts for rich people. nt

5. Actively letting Americans die while playing golf

Actively cutting off children and poor folks from all health care.


Those two monstrous acts alone should be good enough for impeachment if the house wasn't owned and operated by Vladimir Putin.

7. he should be arrested like any other

despot who killed their own citizens.
