Brickbat: Shocking

Eliud Echevarria/ZUMA Press/Newscom

Armed federal agents raided a warehouse in Puerto Rico and seized materials that were supposed to be used to rebuild the island's electrical infrastructure that was damaged by Hurricane Maria but were instead hoarded by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority. Federal officials then began distributing the materials to contractors who are repairing the electrical system.

I'm sure this will be all over the media as soon as they figure out some way to blame it on Trump.

He's the boss. He is to blame. Everything his people do is his fault, period. That's what he signed up for. It was true for his predecessors and it's true for him.

[Longtobefree]

Yep. No doubt about it.
He was the one standing in the doorway of the warehouse, just like Wallace.

[Rebel Scum]

Well it's not like he only learns about his admin's actions on the news, right? RIGHT??? ///thebuckstops-um-overthere

No, the Puerto Rico Governor was in charge. Local territorial matters stop at the desk of the territorial governor. Don't let him off the hook.

See? Swatting and asset forfeiture can be tools for good.

Sounds like an armed invasion. Trump is crazy.

(just for the record, I could not even keep a straight face typing that. But it will be said.)

In your defense, the US really does need to pull out of that quagmire.

[BigT]

I am shocked, shocked to see that there is corruption in Puerto Rico!

[Adans smith]

Round up the usual suspects.

[Rebel Scum]

Gov't incompetence/corruption does not shock me.

Nonsense! If Omar sells his only rug is he still Omar the rug salesman?

[Longtobefree]

Yes.
He will receive substantial subsidies from the government until conditions improve and he once again has a rug to sell.

[Brian]

Hoarders wreck everything.
