This is not getting reported in most media. I am wondering what other catastrophic event 45 will create between now and Tuesday if he knows about the green bodies and the stench. These are children, elderly, veterans..These are Americans.

This level of risk is inescapable. As we drove into the town, we noticed a dumping site for garbage and debris that the community has started because there’s nowhere else to put everything. Luis Ruíz, who was talking with us on Calle Pedro Albizu, tells us the debris pile, which occupies an area roughly the size of a football field, includes rotting meat and dead animals. It smells exactly how you think it would.
The town’s problems even follow the dead. Edwin Falú owns and operates Funeraria Falú, a funeral home in Campanilla. He tells us that he runs the only funeral home in the area (there are two operating in nearby Levittown), and that he’s been busy. Luckily, he has his own water tower and his own generator, so he can keep operating, but diesel fuel costs double what it did before the storm. The biggest problem for him, though, is that the bodies he gets are already decomposing—something he’s never seen before.
“The bodies are coming in green,” he tells us. He further explains to David Ruíz that part of the problem is that the refrigerators at the morgue at the hospital are not cold enough to keep the bodies from decomposing.
The Mayor was not exaggerating by calling this what it is. These are American people. Every sitting congressional legislator needs to go to this island and see what they have to do to remove Trump from office. I am sure most do not have the stomach for it. This is horrendous. Golfing while bodies decompose surely is an impeachable offense. If not, it should be.
The former presidents can only do so much for relief but they are not in power. 45 is griping and whining about respect in the midst of all of this.
I think if I were 45, I would be more concerned about torches and pitchforks than sports players not standing for the National Anthem. I think I would be concerned over the entire country flying the flag upside down with the display of disrespect and horror.
If this germophobe goes down there.. it will surprise me...
