Say goodbye to FEMA…

@George-K said in Say goodbye to FEMA…:
Does anyone think that this was a one-of?
I might be wrong, and I hope I am wrong, but this revelation shows what I fear might be a deep-seated, baked-in part of the government culture.
For all the cries that "The deep state doesn't exist!", is there a better example than this that it does, in fact, exist?
Nope. This is not a one-of. The fact that a whistleblower had the balls to come forward with this might encourage others to do so as well.

our current hysterical polarization will guarantee that when this happens in the opposite direction, it will confirm every nightmare of the TDS masses, and they’ll become more and more galvanized and legit crazy. Meanwhile, it’s a blip on the radar when it’s against Trump supporters.

Official has been removed from her role.

Removed or relocated? In the Daily Wire article:
The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.
The employees say that Washington has not been punished for the guidance, but has been shifted to another county in Florida.

Not nearly good enough. She needs removed and prosecuted. Her immediate superiors need removed and possibly prosecuted. Every single member of the subordinates that didn’t come forward needs to be removed. Those that actually complied with the instructions need to be removed and definitely prosecuted.
Then we start to look at her peers in the agency.

Doesn’t even seem aid related. It’s between ‘Don’t go anywhere alone’ and ‘Practice deescalation measures’.
Maybe it was guidance about how to avoid abuse by frothed up magats.
About a week ago, you listed "politicization of disaster relief" as a horrifying thing Trump tried to do, but failed, because of the adults in the room during his first administration.

She has been fired.
So, is there any legal exposure?
For her or the agency?
For her, yes. Also, any agents of FEMA that followed her instructions and skipped houses.

And the State Department says: "don't hire straight white men of the 'wrong religion'!"
It's really time for the Dems to go.

“I’ll be there shortly, but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas.”
— Mr. Trump in a post on Truth Social on MondayThis lacks evidence. While some have criticized the federal response and emergency responders faced obstacles in reaching some areas, there is no evidence that the Biden administration was purposefully ignoring the needs of Republican areas. In fact, Republican governors have praised the Biden administration for its response, and FEMA has designated counties in several states — including dozens won by Mr. Trump in the 2020 presidential election — as eligible to apply for federal assistance.
The Republican governors of Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee have all thanked the federal government and described the federal response as fast. Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, also a Republican, said that FEMA had been embedded in the state operations center in Atlanta since before the storm hit and “we got a great relationship with them.”
FEMA has said it has deployed more than 1,000 personnel across the affected areas to deliver more than 1.9 million meals, over one million liters of water, 30 generators and more than 95,000 tarps.
Well, it was Helene he was talking about, not Milton, so that's totes different, right?
