Logistics.

Interestingly...
Both logic and logistics ultimately derive from the Greek logos, meaning "reason." But while logic derives directly from Greek, logistics took a longer route, first passing into French as logistique, meaning "art of calculating," and then into English from there.

There are a lot of flaming assholes in this thread. Decided not to finish reading their bullshit. tRump is a fuck-up. Nothing else to be said. Defend this turd makes you a turd.

In the case of Houston or Florida that might work. In the case of Puerto Rico it's a very different story. The entire state is an island, and the entire island was hit.

The only agency that can handle the logistics of this is the DOD... Even FEMA cannot handle this; FEMA doesn't have ships and planes.

And you think the DOD can legally just step in?

I thought you used to be a Marine.

Please enlighten us.

What is causing them from not being legally able to step in? :thumbsup

Mission Statement. The mission of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is to reduce the loss of life and property and protect our institutions from all hazards by leading and supporting the nation in a comprehensive, risk-based emergency management program of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

The mission of the Department of Defense is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of our country. The department's headquarters is at the Pentagon.

In other words, it isn't their job; even if it was California, they would have to be asked.

It's really bad down there hope everything works out

those are tiny hands... in a middle of a big body ... with a tiny brain ....:)

Hispanic Americans, that primarily speak Spanish, with limited US citizenship rights and cannot vote in US elections?

You serious? --They might as well be in Bangladesh (as far as Trump's government is concerned) ...

yes this is what the US gov does to small countries...it fucks them over, puts them in debt and then fucks them over...business as usual...

You should read a book called "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." It was written by a guy who used to work for big banks and governments and helped them move into underdeveloped countries, milk them for everything they could and leave them in shambles with debt they can never repay.

I come from a banking family i know fully well what went on in my country, I can imagine what they do to others...modern slavery...I cant complain I get cheap labor and pussy and compete globally but for most other people their futures are completely stolen...its what capitalists have always done to small countries and then they wonder why commies break out LOL...

Yeah it looks like they're getting the shaft.

Trump Blasts San Juan Mayor in Defending Fed's Maria Efforts

Or is this fake news?

The truth hurts sometimes. Cruz is not fit for office, she made that perfectly clear when she said she was too busy to do her job.

Saving lives with a bullhorn and TV cameras instead of doing as requested by FEMA so they could do their jobs. She obviously doesn't have a clue how things work.

And it is not your government's responsibility to make sure you have necessities after a natural disaster. You have to be able to take care of yourself; especially if you live in the middle of nowhere.

Lloyd is hitting the sauce again and it's not even noon.

Oh wow. You really have a handle on things.

So when someone in the middle of a disaster zone is seeing how bad things are, and how bad they could get -- and basically begs for more help -- the president should take it personally and berate her with a tweet? This isn't time for "the truth hurts" or tough love. It's American citizens we're talking about here. I doubt you'd say the same bullshit if it was Nevada or Missouri desperately needing federal help. Who gives a shit about a bunch of Spanish speakers anyway? Right?

You detached, old Fox news viewers are fucking funny.

There is a chain of command to get things done in an emergency. She is step one; she reports to the local FEMA guy. I watched her, waist deep in water with a bullhorn, saying she was too busy saving lives to write a note specifying what they need.

That is her job; I doubt her bullhorn is going to alert anyone to the fact that they are flooded. She can play first responder after she does her primary duty.

You are full of shit asshole. When people are in trouble and dying, you break the fucking rules. Do you get that? I thought you knew better but you're a fucking asshole.

i would not feel sorry if such a destaster wents over your house and you are begging for help.
guys like you made me change my human ideology.

i hope you can forgive me when i smile while yous dirty ass got blowen to neverland because i think you don´t have a right on rescue.

Hey you I am not sure about you, I am Puertorrican, I have being here in the USA living in the mainland for over 25 years. I have personally served this country and you have no right to talk shit about me or my fellow brothers and sister living in Puerto Rico. Instead of talking shit why GFY! My grandfather died in world war II my, cousin has 7 types of disabilities. I have never collected unemployment or lived from welfare. Before you open your mouth think. Also think we have defended this country we all love very proudly. I have being working to help others all my life. So you have no fucking grounds to talk shit of good hard working USA citizens just because the primary language in the island is Spanish. Further more we speak both languages for over 100 years now. I really hope you never had to go have your mother evacuated and like I did. I hope you never have to have your Dad homeless because of natural disaster. I which you the very best just shut the fuck up. and stop talking shit!:321GFY

Its bad, I have to bring over my mom last Saturday due lack of water,electricity, food, and lack of money at the banks the grid is down so the only way of get things done is the old fashion way with cash. Dad lost his home as well family members struggling and people like me in the main island can go there to contribute much since there is nothing to do for the moment going there is adding more to the chaos. I am just hopping the grid can get restored quick enough to be able to support by wiring money and help the rest of the family.

I am sick of the politics making out of the bad situation a political event there is no time for that.
