1. why can't government set up "tent cities"? they do it for military, for prisons!, for people in Iraq

Syria, hundreds of thousands in some of those tent cities.

Use the empty shipping containers if they have to, those make good temporary shelters.

3. Agree. The US Seabees do this type of stuff. Also why hasn't an AirForce cargo plane that can

hold helicopters and tanks been deployed. They could be used to get ppl to the US Comfort Medical ship. Rachel reported last night that the ship is sitting in port with 100s of doctors and medical beds and only 7 patients.

What Trump/his administration is doing is just shameful racism against US ppl of color

2. Every single person in the "administration" is so incompetent

they either have no idea what the F to do or they are refusing to do it.

They could have shelters and water in the entire country by now. This is murder.

4. Yep, the extermination of US citizens of color

5. The Hague needs to open an investigation into 'Crimes Against Humanity' against Trump.

How long will the GOP sit and twiddle their thumbs while Trump no only destroys the USA for the sake of a few dollars more in his and his buddies pockets, but also wages all out war against people of color, the poor, the climate, and who is looking for any excuse to play with his nuclear weapons? This man is a true Hitler wannabe!!

[Duppers]

6. Absolutely!!

7. in addition to all the horrors these brave volunteers are mentioning, the fema demand that

people sign up online for aid--where nearly 85% have no electricity, no cell service. and that asshole in charge of fema who said, "our job is only to help them fill out the paperwork"

FU asshole--heckuvajob brownie was just incompetent. YOU are a disgusting, hate-filled, murdering asshole.

[TomSlick]

8. I'm sorry, I no longer think this is incompetence.

If the US citizens in Puerto Rico weren't brown and didn't speak Spanish, you wouldn't be able to move anywhere on the island for all the relief workers and supplies.

I try to avoid hyperbole and do not mean to be hyperbolic now. We are watching the intentional death or forced clearing of the Puerto Rican people - this is genocide.
