THE ERA OF TRUMP

[The Conservative]

As for the rest, PR should have been more prepared, they live on a fucking island, how do you not prepare for something like a worst case scenario? You don't live somewhere and expect someone to bail you out. I don't expect someone to shovel my driveway every time I get snowed in. I don't expect someone to pay my taxes, pay my rent, etc... I take care of everything because I am resilient and independent... I only ask for help if I get over my head and get into a situation I can't handle.

Also, let's also be honest here, there was plenty of help already going to PR, people just ignored it because it wasn't being dolled out fast enough. Can't shove 10 tons of food at someone when they haven't removed the first 10 we sent to them already. Logistics is faulty, and PR is at fault for that, the US has helped by sending military, but that was after we realized how much of a CF that PR really was... and how ill-prepared it was to deal with something like this.

WTF does that have to do with ANYTHING I said? Seriously. You're using the baffle-em-with-bullshit tactic, here. I mentioned nothing about preparedness.

So, to be clear, you agree with Trump that Maria's damage to Puerto Rico is not a catastrophe?

Also, you DO understand that no matter how much they prepared, their ENTIRE ISLAND was destroyed. You get that, right? And, to be clear on your opinion, we shouldn't have sent help to Texas or Florida, either?

So in other words, the skin of the Island being ripped up is being destroyed, ok... because I thought being destroyed meant something entirely different.

Let's ignore that for right now, and just talk facts. Did PR have any hardened areas that could have survived a hurricane in where they stored dried foods and water for the population through the island to make sure that if something like that happened there would be enough of both for a few weeks till help came around?

How about evacuation buildings, or hurrican shleters to hide in while it raged above?

No?

That's what I am talking about, being prepared. They live of a fucking island, act like it.

It is a catatrophy, yes, but one that could have been prevented significantly if an ounce of preventive measures were put into place first.

Kath I hear you 100%. He said some stupid shit. Now what do we do?

Keep being vigilant. We all know better than to trust anything ANY politician says, and they all may loathe us down here at the bottom, but Trump is the only one who is openly hostile towards his fellow citizens. At least most politicians pretend to have a relationship with facts.

Thank god I wasn't drinking my coffee... I would have spat it out after reading that. Trump is the only one that is being hostile towards his fellow man? Where have you been for the past 8+ years under Obama? Fuck... the media, the government, Obama, IRS, etc, everyone was openly hostile to the American people as a whole, especially if you were white and male.

It is a catatrophy, yes, .

There you go. Was that so hard? Trump said it wasn't. That was my only point.

And, seriously, what would you have people do? Cut down all the trees? Where would they put them? Their big problem is power, communication & blocked (by fallen vegetation,) roads. Name a place that can prepare so good that the electricity and communications systems never go down.

First, I hope you are never part of a catastrophe. If you ever are, though, I hope your president sweeps in to tell you how lucky you are that it wasn't a real catastrophe and to have a good time! That will give you the warm fuzzies, I'm sure.

One's person's catastrophe is another person's opportunity.

And the proof of cherrypicker, cherrypicking. Please, if you are going to start being a douche, do so with a moniker of respect, otherwise go back to the hole you crawled out of.

Deflection is definitely one of your strongest skills. I get it, though, my son is Aspie. It's his best skill, too.

I'm not deflecting anything except the amount of BS you are dolling out as "fact".
