San Juan mayor wears 'nasty' shirt on live TV after Trump calls her 'nasty' - Polidicks

[quote][t]https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_large/public/thumbnails/image/2017/10/04/22/san-juan-puerto-rico-mayor-shirt-nasty.jpg[/t] The mayor of San Juan is using fashion to make a statement to the world, and the President of the United States. In a recent interview, Carmen Yulín Cruz wore a shirt to own an insult he’d thrown at her in previous days. Donald Trump had claimed the Democratic party told Ms Yulín Cruz to be “nasty” to him — so she wore a shirt with that word prominently displayed. “This was a PR, 17-minute meeting,” Ms Yulín Cruz said during an interview on MSNBC, while wearing the shirt. She was describing a meeting the President had during his trip to Puerto Rico in which he assembled a roundtable of national and local officials and encouraged them to praise the federal response to the crisis on the island. She continued to criticise the President’s visit to an aid centre, where he tossed paper towel rolls to an assembled group there, and handed out bags of rice. “In fact, this terrible and abominable view of him throwing paper towels, and throwing provisions at people, it’s — really — it does not embody the American spirit,” she said. It’s not the first time that Ms Yulín Cruz has used a t-shirt to make a political statement since Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico, decimating infrastructure there, and leaving much of the population without access to clean water, medical supplies, and electricity. She has also previously worn a shirt with a bleak plea for help emblazoned upon it. “Help us, we are dying,” that shirt read.[/quote] [url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-san-juan-mayor-nasty-shirt-puerto-rico-maria-crisis-tv-photo-a7983751.html]Source: The Independent[/url] [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DK7u1FGUIAAjtz4.jpg[/t]

Fucking savage

Honestly, I'm on her side but this is a bad look imo. It absolutely 100% just plays into the narrative of her being whiny and attention-seeking and using this Trump fight as her 15 minutes of fame. She's in the right, but I think her point would be better made if she just dressed professionally and made her points like an adult instead of having people print her "funny" t-shirts and hats for her to parade around on TV.

What point? She'd rather prance around in her dumbass shirts for the media instead of attend FEMA meetings to help her city.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747783]What point? She'd rather prance around in her dumbass shirts for the media instead of attend FEMA meetings to help her city.[/QUOTE] I forgot that FEMA meetings were held 24/7 and there was no way anyone could possibly do both.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747783]What point? She'd rather prance around in her dumbass shirts for the media instead of attend FEMA meetings to help her city.[/QUOTE] to piss off people like you obv

[QUOTE=F.X Clampazzo;52747788]I forgot that FEMA meetings were held 24/7 and there was no way anyone could possibly do both.[/QUOTE] ? Then why isnt she doing both and instead bitching about help and doing nothing to get it.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747796]? Then why isnt she doing both and instead bitching about help and doing nothing to get it.[/QUOTE] Because she is and you're a dishonest liar?

[QUOTE=zakedodead;52747798]Because she is and you're a dishonest liar?[/QUOTE] No she isnt

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747804]No she isnt[/QUOTE] can you prove this what has Trump, [I][U]the President of Puerto Rico[/U][/I] done only days after the horror of weather?

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747804]No she isnt[/QUOTE] Can you get any more childish?

It takes 2.0 seconds to put a shirt on, Nesto lol.

Checkmate atheists.[/QUOTE] I'm not the one making the claim so don't try and trap me into that, because that isn't going to work what does that argument even have to do with this either, that's involves such massively different arguments like how could you even bring it up lmao. He might actually be able to prove this. You can't prove or disprove the existence of a god. Totally different things.

The other mayors are much more credible.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;52747881]FEMA was already caught lying about how much aid they delivered, I can't trust anyone under the Trump Administration. The other mayors are much more credible.[/QUOTE] They did? Do you have an article by chance. Google isnt returning anything.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747783]What point? She'd rather prance around in her dumbass shirts for the media instead of attend FEMA meetings to help her city.[/QUOTE] The article mentioned her attending one, lol good job reading

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;52747919]The article mentioned her attending one, lol good job reading[/QUOTE] She met with White House staff. She still hasn't gone to the [B]FEMA[/B] meetings. If you're gonna try for sick zingers you'll need to try harder bud.

Salon is the best you could do? Cmon now. The article doesn't even disprove what I've posted. She still isn't attending the meetings to help FEMA do their job. And what the hell does the NFL have to do with this thread? Don't say shit like make an effort and stop being lazy when you're using Salon and bringing up other nonsense.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747906]They did? Do you have an article by chance. Google isnt returning anything.[/QUOTE] I read it in a news article a few days ago and now I can't find it again, I know that sounds sketchy so I apologize.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747804]No she isnt[/QUOTE] All I can read this post as is "I'M RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG I'M SMART YOU'RE DUMB" Like you actually sound like a child.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52748059]I think this is totally justifiable and Cruz has done a lot more then your president's time watching NFL. [/QUOTE] Cruz hasn't done shit. That's like saying Trump throwing out paper towels and bags of rice is actually doing something. Photo ops don't help the people of PR, they help the politician. [QUOTE]Also good job dismissing half of my post and only cherry picking what you want.[/QUOTE] Because half of your post is bullshit [QUOTE]and claiming to wipe the debt of Puerto Rico(so I can totally understanding not wanting to attend FEMA meetings cause your president is a right cunt and is suggesting stupid shit) rather than giving them what they actually fucking need right now, which is diesel to keep the hospitals going, more food and water and more crew.[/QUOTE] She hasn't and continues not to attend meetings long before Trump made a stupid joke about wiping their debt. Your point is moot. And give them what they need? We already are. We have over 10,000 federal workers and some 5,000 military on the island helping them restore power, comms, roads, and reopening the gas stations. The port of San Juan(Cruz's city) has over 9,500 shipping containers full of aid. If she needs more maybe she should attend the meetings and tell them instead of poppin off for the cameras. [QUOTE]I also wasn't attempting to disprove, good job on making shit up.[/QUOTE] Then what are you trying to prove

[QUOTE=-nesto-;52747783]What point? She'd rather prance around in her dumbass shirts for the media instead of attend FEMA meetings to help her city.[/QUOTE] months and months of horrible, despicable behavior by trump and you're silent. one shirt, and you're here within 5 posts fuck your hypocrisy. you have no grounds to talk about professionalism

Here, why don't you try being consistent in condemning the orange man from here on out, at least, for unprofessional behavior, or will that be too hard to manage?

Like, is this what this section is just gonna devolve into? You post counterpoints with articles and video to support it. Instead of having discussions you get a bunch of passive aggressive shitposting like this.
