100,000 unnecessary deaths in Puerto Rico.

That's what the number will be if 1 person in 34 dies as a direct result of Trump's footdragging in the rescue efforts. One in 34 sounds optimistic to me.

2. How many of the PR people were swept out to sea? How many dead

are yet to be discovered? No communications or help stifles these answers.

3. Given the ferocity of the storm, a high death toll was inevitable.

Allowing preventable deaths to add to the count should be beyond the moral pale for anyone, regardless of their politics.

OMG! That goes beyond stupidity that should be painful! That's stupidity that should be life-threatening!

1. The death count of 34 in Puerto Rico is absolute BS, off by a count of 1100 at a minimum




On average, without a hurricane, 82 people die on Puerto Rico daily (3.411 million population, 8.8 per thousand annual death rate, 365 days in a year) 34 over 2 weeks implies a 97% reduction over the normal non hurricane death rate. A more realistic number would be 2,300 dead at this point, if you consider double to be a realistic expectation. Mental health concerns should be proportional to the death rate imo.

Blaming Trump for death by natural causes. :mental: :mental: :thatsright:

WTF is wrong with these people? :mental: :mental: :mental:

Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Until the Guardian or the Lancet report such a death total, I simply don't believe such a number.

NR, Trump gets his information from the Puerto Rican government. Either the Puerto Rican government is distinguishing hurricane deaths from those by other causes, or the Puerto Rican government's numbers are low due to incomplete data or incompetent government data collectors. Regardless, NR, your beef is with the Puerto Rican government, not Trump.

How about the Palmer Report, or the Mensch Report? They are reliable progressive information sites.

More information in 24 hours. :-)

For some reason, can't post old photos from Photobucket.  Our 'ol buddy Freeper photoshopped a great "Jeb's Ice Trucks: Hiding bodies since 2004".  Shall effort more tomorrow when I have time.  It is a classic.

Of course!

NO WONDER they can't get enough truck drivers in PR.  They're all tied up hiding the bodies!
