Up to 5,000 AMERICANS Dead in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

This happened on Trump’s watch. He owns this now.

Just as much as Bush owns the 1,500+ dead from Katrina.

If you want something to be outraged about, this is it.

This was willful negligence on the part of our government.

heads should fucking roll.

Did we need a second thread for this?

 

 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

We could actually use a third and fourth IMO.

Fake news.  It was like 17 dead.  Much better than Katrina.  Nobel Peace Prize.

The methodology to count dead bodies remains retarded regardless of which thread.

It’s an estimated total extrapolation based on a scientifically proven reliable methodology using random sampling. 

What is retarded about it? 

Regardless of any anomaly in their research, thousands are dead so what is your point?

This happened about eight or nine months after Trump entered office.  Seems to me if you wanted to save lives on the island the time to improve the infrastructure and the competency of the government officials who were going to have to handle something like this would have been before the hurricane ever struck, not after.  So the blame would seem to rest primarily on the feet of the previous administrations than on the one who had just been handed the reins from those administrations.

But they're not real Americans. They'r a different color and they don't speak English.

That is accusing BHO of doing nothing.  You will be flogged for that my friend.

Partly, it is also accusing the Bush and Clinton administrations of doing nothing as well.   Nothing turns to shit overnight(other than Surly 1.0).  It takes a long term period of apathy.
