3. Agree ..

Katrina was truly horrible, and Bush did a terrible job.

5. Let's just say it, twitlers racism is creating a genocide situation in Puerto Rico

Paul Singer the hedge fund vulture is ok because he will make debt slaves on this island and twitler will turn a blind eye. This is a chaos shock doctrine genocide going on now. History will note this as a big humanitarian crisis in North America that an American president had to be shamed into addressing.
