Donald Trump's last 7 days are mind-bogglingly bad - CNNPolitics
^ Not a cop but civilian staff. Allegedly.
Just shows what a wanker Trump is in withholding and stalling help.
There’s a distinct tone of resignation in longways turd polishing recently. It’s just dialed in.
Even he’s becoming despondent over the lack of ‘Winning!’.
PR truckers union is on strike, that is why supplies are not being distributed.
They want triple wages given in advance.

The truth as always is what is opposite to what is being reported in the fsm. The mayor is a scumbag.
Longface and his fake news.
Honestly, what a desperate wanker.
Right wing creates a bogus “strike” by Puerto Rican truck drivers out of thin air and bad Spanish translations
So, across my tweetstream came a tweet by a deplorable (she even says she’s a deplorable) saying that the reason Puerto Rican relief supplies are piling up in the ports is because there’s a strike by the Teamster’s Union.
Nevermind that the Teamsters and AFL-CIO are mobilizing to send truck drivers to help with Puerto Rican relief.
Nevermind that Puerto Rico’s governor says they can only reach 20% of the truck drivers, the rest cannot be reached to call them in to work. Perhaps their homes washed away and they’re in shelters?
Nevermind that the Teamsters themselves say there no strike and that they’re assisting their Puerto Rican subsidiary with everything they can, given that most of their Puerto Rican drivers are now homeless living in shelters with no phone service and no easy way to locate them.
No, the problem is unions, because, well, because they want it to be unions, I guess. This all appears to be based upon one video on YouTube that is on Univision and in Spanish. In the video a Teamsters official is apparently saying (in Spanish) something about how he has trucks to move the supplies but the port won’t release them. He also claims (in Spanish) that FEMA is hoarding diesel fuel and won’t release it to truckers. He also says that, despite all this, he did manage to get seven trucks loaded with fuel out of the port to get fuel to gas stations. This video was shared by a Spanish-speaking Trump supporter in Miami who then posted a snarky comment about how apparently the truckers were on strike until the red tape gets cleared up to their satisfaction. Despite the fact that the same FEMA red tape is preventing doctors from receiving medical supplies even if they show up at the port where the supplies are available for distribution.
From there, it spread around the right wing blogosphere despite the fact that none of the bloggers spreading this story, other than the original blogger, speak Spanish and none of them have the slightest idea what the person in the video is saying. They are apparently relying on a translation by that Miami Trump supporter (who appears to be one of the Cubanos, i.e., one of the right-wing anti-Communist Republicans). Said translation appears to be, from my reading of the Spanish, quite incomplete and takes things out of context in multiple places. Granted, I’m not a native Spanish speaker, I can read a little Spanish but I’m hopeless if you try to hold a conversation with me. But I can turn on the closed captioning on the videos and read the Spanish that’s coming out, and it does appear that the Miami Trump supporter is taking some statements out of context in order to paint a deceptive picture of what’s being said by the clearly angry Teamsters official.
So what’s happening in Puerto Rico? Well: I don’t know, actually. What I do know is that a right-wing Trump supporter supplying a misleading translation of a Univision video isn’t sufficient for me to assume that truck drivers are refusing to move cargo, given no other supporting evidence. I would want to see some reporting on the ground by reporters who talk to actual officials that are willing to say this. Like the governor. He’s a centrist who has had no trouble signing anti-union legislation in the recent past, so I’d think that he would come out swinging against the union if the union was striking. But he hasn’t. He’s implied instead that the truck drivers who aren’t showing up are simply unreachable because of the lack of phone service and possibly because their homes got washed away and they’re in a shelter. I somehow suspect that if he thought the drivers were malingering, he would have come out hard against them. But maybe that’s just me being reasonable…

I told you, fake news and longface just laps it up.
The truth?
Neighboring mayor praises Trump, says San Juan mayor playing 'politics,' AWOL at meetings
Neighboring mayor says she is playing politics. no surprise there.
The mayor of a Puerto Rican city that sits next to San Juan praised the administration's help Saturday night, and chided the "politics" of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who has been criticizing President Trump.
In an interview with Secrets, Guaynabo Mayor Angel Perez Otero said that in several meetings with FEMA and U.S. military officials about the recovery effort, Yulin Cruz has been absent. "I've seen other mayors participating. She's not," said Perez Otero.
Yes incompetence by the mayor of San Juan who considers posing for cameras is more important that co-ordinating disaster relief. The gorvernor has repaeatedly praised the Trump admin, and so has the mayor of a neighbouring town, its only her out there playing games. It is the epitome of fake news.
Wait until tomorrow retard. Keep in mind before Donny Dotard ran his big mouth there was only maybe one or two players that took a knee.
She was doing the honorable thing you idiot. She was trying to get the attention of the rest of the country. Donny Dotard has been busy golfing and insulting black NFL players. This has been the worst hurricane response of any president in modern history and you will not be able to polish those turds you utter spastic.
Yes basically everything you post is. You are right about that. Do you have a guilty conscious when you look in the mirror knowing that you post outright lies everyday?
