Say goodbye to FEMA…

@Jolly said in Say goodbye to FEMA…:
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?

I think ya'll are making this out more than it is. Idiot FEMA contractors sending texts or messages under the idea of minimizing hostile interactions and risk.
Yes, 99% unacceptable to ever say to skip houses because of political signs, but if we want to go down that slippery slope, would it be advisable to tell black FEMA workers to possibly avoid houses with Nazi signs out front?
Again, it's 99% wrong, but I can see why a dummy employee would make that mistake. This isn't official policy coming down from leadership, but I haven't really dug into the details.

Of course it's not official policy. But, I'll bet it's more than one level up from the person in the field.
That vet that Comer cited, by the way, still hasn't had a return visit. It's been more than 5 weeks.

One-off is a one-off. This current stuff sounds like institutional culture.
