        The plastic leeches into the water making it undrinkable.

        False, when plastic gets hot like these sitting in the sun, the plastic does eventually leech into the water. Stop spreading your lies.

        Wow the local gov't in Ceiba (pop. 13,000) was charged with coordinating the distribution of aid throughout the entire island? And if the local gov't is overwhelmed or even the island gov't, isn't that the WHOLE POINT of a federal response? Go on, drop some more wisdom on us...pic.twitter.com/zDIiIj18CJ

        Perhaps that is the only paper towels they received. PR gov't "took care" of the rest.

        The water is there and not used...what a waste. Can't blame that one on Donald Trump.

        But I thought corporate media told us Trump didn't bring them water. Oh, and he caused 3000 deaths, too.

        It's the fault of the Governor of Puerto Rico. He was in charge of all the ports/airports and logistics. We Puerto Ricans know very well he LOVES to shift the blame for his faults ALL THE TIME. It's time he is held accountable for his incompetence and mismanagement after Maria!

        It’s on the American naval base. Lack of communication I’d say. The governor didn’t even know it was there....who’s in change at the base is who is to blame.

        Governor's fault 100% FEMA confirmed they delivered the goods to the central government! Btw, that naval base is not operational since about 10-15 years ago. The land was transferred to the local government.pic.twitter.com/zPLt1Ckmmd

        They didn't deliver it though. That is still on the airport runway it was brought in on, which is federally managed land. It was not delivered, nor properly stored, which all lands 100% on FEMA.

        Who told you that? It now belongs to the Government of Puerto Rico and is managed by the Port Authority. (Governors Jurisdiction) The new name of the Airport is Jose Aponte de la Torre.

        Carlos Mercader, executive director of the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration said in statement that Ceiba runway is federally managed land. Puerto Rican admin did not receive permission to water until April 26. Statement herehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/19iQHf739j0WEld8xuUYiXvilLtsC-lAp/preview …

        The New Progressive Party lies all the time. Just the same way the Governor ordered a luxury/armored SUV for himself, but didn't know how much it costed. Or the Whitefish contract that the Governor was unaware about. Or the claim only 60 people died from the same Government..

        Trump also lies all the time. Like, literally all the time. So it's hard to actually know, there's no one to investigate that everyone would believe. Let's just agree that this was poorly managed and a massive shame on all parties involved.
