18. Yet another reminder of how little this administration values lives.

La Primera Dama de Puerto Rico (the First Lady of PR) is coordinating an effort to get help to PR from the private sector.

You can donate here:

This is a national disgrace. The videos I have seen are heartbreaking. Our elderly and little ones are suffering and they need help. Despite the fact that PR is an island, our naval force has the training and capacity to assist in logistical support to ensure the safety of these citizens.

They are running low on the most basic of supplies, such as insulin for diabetics. Most people only had enough supplies for maybe 4-5 days. The situation is critical. We need to pressure our officials to provide assistance to PR. Most of the agricultural crops are gone. The country will not be able to survive, let alone recover without swift and forceful assistance.

Fuckwad already has been blaming them for their own plight. pangaia Sep 2017 #1
