    CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, WaPo, NY Times.... like all of them were just shocked! Shocked I tell you!

    ... and they will report this very sparsely.

    Notice how the Leftists have avoided this thread in droves. They love an Orwellian message that reinforces their brainwashing and conditioning and this does not fit their narrative.

    ~ I doubt mainstream media will report on this at all. Trump let us know what was going to happen long ago. He was correct ...

    Your defense of the lefts attempt at damage control is insufficient.

    The main lesson from this story (as always) is that you can't believe the msm. They wanted to crucify Trump for not getting aid to PR.

    This isn't "screwing up", this is criminal corruption. The PR officials involved should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

    Every once in a great while the MMM, that is, the Mockingbird Marxist Media, will say something true, but you're safer in just never believing them and not going looking for the needle in the haystack.

    that will require a criminal trial, all we are talking about right now is if he should keep his job, same as we are doing with Trump

    yep... here is the narrative that the MSM ran with and the Leftists all believed, because that is what "Useful Idiots" do.

    But isn't breaking into a secure warehouse and stealing everything in sight illegal?
    I can understand the mothers so desperately in need of some of those emergency baby comforters that they can justify their actions, but the rest? 8)

    How many spy agencies do we have, 1,000? But none of the dummies can track shiploads of emergency supplies 10 feet after they are unloaded. It is no wonder we haven't won a war since 1945.

    Ages? It took 12 days, don't be so dramatic. Trump had to bypass the Jones Act.

    You're right, part of MAGA is following the law. You should be thankful.

    Donald simply failed completely.

    "While the US government is engaged in relief efforts, it has failed to address the most urgent needs. Oxfam has monitored the response in Puerto Rico closely, and we are outraged at the slow and inadequate response the US Government has mounted," said Oxfam America's president Abby Maxman. "Oxfam rarely responds to humanitarian emergencies in the US and other wealthy countries, but as the situation in Puerto Rico worsens and the federal government's response continues to falter, we have decided to step in. The US has more than enough resources to mobilize an emergency response, but has failed to do so in a swift and robust manner."[248] In an update on October 19, the agency called the situation in Puerto Rico "unacceptable" and called for "a more robust and efficient response from the US government"

    On October 3, 2017, President Trump visited Puerto Rico. He compared the damage from Hurricane Maria to that of Hurricane Katrina, saying: "If you looked—every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overbearing, nobody has seen anything like this ... What is your death count as of this morning, 17?"

    On October 12, Trump tweeted, "We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!",[255] prompting further criticism from lawmakers in both parties;[256] Mayor Cruz replied, "You are incapable of empathy and frankly simply cannot get the job done."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Maria#Criticism_of_U.S._government_response


    Donald failed to recognize this storm was the 3rd most deadly storm of the US entire history.
    More than twice the amount of people died there compared to Katrina

    No where in the transcript does it show Trump asking for a political favor. Stop making crap up!

    Asking to look in a political rival as a specific favor, is not a political favor?

    Trump asked if Ukraine would look into Crowdstrike, missing server, 2016 election interference and into the corrupt Bidens.

    That's not a political favor.

    Bidens aint corrupt. And Trump asked for a personal favor for his personal benefit. That makes it a political favor.

    The Bidens are most definitely corrupt.
    False.

    The transcript does't show Trump asking for "a personal favor for his personal benefit."

    He hasn't been charged with it even. lol


    He specifically mentions it's a favor to look into Biden. And Biden and Donald are politicians.
    Hence it's a political favor. duh
