sundance:
The Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulin-Cruz attempts to make the crisis in Puerto Rico political. The insufferable mindset to make things political is only exceeded by the ridiculous optic of calling for federal aid while surrounded by relief supplies provided entirely by the U.S. federal government.
•50% of the native Puerto Rican National Guard refused to report to duty when the governor called them up. •Thousands of tons of supplies and equipment, provided by FEMA, U.S. military and U.S. relief agencies, sit at ports while municipal government has no process for delivering them. •Frente Amplio (PR Teamsters Union – truck drivers) are on strike and refusing to deliver supplies. •Over 10,000 U.S. federal personnel are providing recovery and relief on the island….
…and the priority for the Mayor of San Juan, with no power or infrastructure, is to have T-Shirts made to push a political agenda?
Funny how Anderson Cooper never asks:Where does one get a shirt like this made when Puerto Rico is under water and out of power? (rhetorical question)

Because “Thank You” is just too damned challenging? (Again, rhetorical)
Did you notice the pallets of US donated goods right behind this mayor?
Throughout the entire time she was interviewed last night on the news, not one worker was moving any of those goods!
What does she want?
President Trump to come down there for her and hand out food nd water for her?
Also this from a family on the ground:

@Nanny G: The link didnt come through for me but I found it manually.
The CNN Crawler, when she was being interviewed with her help us we are dying tshirt on, Keeping them honest bwahahahaha. Seems the only ones being honest are not the media nor the Madam Mayor. Her baseball cap SOS save our socialism?
It’s not difficult to become a liberal hero. Just grab a mic and a camera and go to blaming. Facts not required; in fact, they just get in the damn way.
“The transportation issue is worsened by the PR Teamsters Union, the truckers who deliver goods from the ports, using the crisis to negotiate for better terms on contracts.” Never let a crisis go to waste.
@kitt: Any chance you could relink it w/ one that works?
It’s so good.
@Nanny G:
Which media will chase down the head of the Teamsters and ask why they are being such ________ (use any expletive of choice)
Where did she get that shirt printed up?
@Mully: #6 Free gift from CNN, for the cameras?
