Sad. One of the few competent people in this admin has to make something sound flattering to 45 in order to keep his job. He has a young family he rarely gets to see w/one disaster after another. Car travel is cheap. Price cost $153,000 in airfare!

Where do you stand on PR's decades-long corruption that resulted in 3rd World shanty towns w no infrastructue? Do you think RepGutierrez will be PR's "savior" when he moves there? Or just another sub-human politician bilking American taxpayers? Thanks in advance for a critique!

Can you explain why, two weeks ago, the Puerto Rican government raised its official death count from 64 to 2,975? The storm occured a year ago. Their count was off by 10,000%?

"Remarkable". You can always count on the media to be superfluous and to come up with rediculous adjectives. Brock gave a reasonable argument.

Cult 45 member who damaged his career w/ his obedience to the crime boss and by uttering these stupid, unfounded statements.

Oh, THIS Brock Long?

Incompetent Trump Administration dimwits who say outlandish things to throw themselves in the path of criticism of idiotic and offensive things their boss said is the very antithesis of 'remarkable,' i.e. it happens with an alarming frequency that seems to defy remarks.

The numbers are inflated. That is all

FEMA Administrator Brock Long says Puerto Rico hurricane death toll numbers are ‘all over the place’“It’s hard to tell what’s accurate and what’s not,” Long said days after Trump incorrectly claimed that Democrats raised the death toll to make him look bad. Mainly, I don't like his attitude. He's dismissive about human lives. He chose the wrong profession. Idiots one and all! No compassion for families of victims!! Well, that which Donald considers the truth is all over the place...

How Kavanaugh explains his baseball ticket debt | Trump’s FEMA chief under investigation over use of official carsBrett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee who has drawn scrutiny from Democrats for the credit card debt incurred by purchasing baseball tickets, says he was paid by friends for the cost of the tickets “to the dollar.” The deplorables will soon be saying the dead people on Puerto Rico were actors. Just like every other mass killing. And Puerto Rico was mass killing when FEMA treated the island like an enemy. There is a reason realDonaldTrump can not draw an American flag. The guy is a fool
