#1 You worthless scumbag commie UNION pieces of shit better be standing tall in less than two hours because right now, you are the eternal scum of the Earth, and Mother Mary will never be able to save you.

As this stands right now, I want to go down there with my Browning .50 cal and shoot up every tree, boat, house, car or union asshole standing in the way of this aid.

Or fuck it. May just finish the job with another cat5 because you are just fucking worthless to your fellow man.

Fuck Puerto Rico. There is no Puerto Rico. Just a bunch of democrat, marxist man pussies standing around watching two guys with a chainsaw fix their communities.

I will throw every one of you goonion pieces of fake human trash into federal pen for denying aid to starving and thirsting people. You are the scum of the earth.

If you are a Man, Go to town and fix YOUR GODDAMNED ISLAND before I wipe it all out permanently. And you may have passed that point right now.

You fucking assholes.

All this real estate belongs to me and you useless pieces of shit do not even pay rent. In fact, you charge US to live there.

Prepare to move because you have a nothing of a place and never made it better and your attitude sucks.

In fact, you will not be running this anymore if I have MY way.

Judgment IS pending.
Do not test me.

#4 Part of the reason for the distribution backlog is that only 20% of truck drivers have reported back to work

I have not seen anything I'd consider definitive, but I keep seeing tidbits suggesting the Teamster's Union has gone on strike in San Juan and wants some contract concessions and changes to current laws before they will start moving supplies.

#6 That's the final straw. I AM getting ALL the GODAMN Unions out of MY Public services.
Because you are such a bunch of fucking gangsters that you want to negotiate contracts in a disaster while people are dying.

Want to see me hit the roof? Have not your stupid GOONION responsibilities fulfilled today.

What you fucking pieces of shit need is a baseball bat to the head.

I will fuck you up and you don't have to get paid to do your jobs you stupid democrat pieces of shit.

I fucking hate you. Fix it and I will maybe piss on you. But for now you are in hell.

#9 Heavy lift copters. Just drop them in remote communities.

Then there is the French option*. Exercise your authority under Title X USC. Draft the drivers, tell them to report for duty, those who fail will be subject to Courts Martial.

*how they ended a railroad strike.

#11 M'Lady was watching Meet the Press this morning, when Chuck Todd was trying to stick it to President Trump over the lack of aid to Puerto Rico. So Chuck was working his agenda, and then he brought up reporters on the ground to supposedly verify what he was saying. They disagreed with him on the air and said that there is plenty of supplies but the truckers are not moving those supplies. They said that 10,000 troops are there doing their job, but only 20% of the drivers are at work. Chuck was very agitated because his narrative fell apart.

He tried to attack the President's tax plan, but the spokesperson invited to the show kept telling Chuck that he was wrong.

It was a veddy veddy bad day for Chuckie.

#12 At this point they have been given all they need to help themselves.

They refuse.

Let them starve.

#18 It's not that current events wouldn't whipsaw the most reasonable of men into a frothing frenzy, but we're concerned you are going to blow a gasket, newc.

And yes, that jpg is funny as heck. Let them eat boxes!

#19 a tangle of blocked roads

When it rains here, two road graders in tandem come out to reshape the roads. One on the left, one right re-crafting the center crown with angled blades.

Hard to imagine the SeaBees couldn't do the same with a pair of CAT D12s.

It's called Rantburg for a reason.

#21 Then there's option #2. Hire a boat load of Mexican truck drivers, fly them in, and put them to work using the excuse 'doing the jobs Americans won't do'. At least they speak the core of the local language.
