The first rule of Fight Club is no one talks about Fight Club. The first rule of Trump Club is that to get a job in Trump Club, you must be specifically unqualified for that particular job. Clueless drug-addled antivaxxer? Perfect for HHS! Drunken clown whose military leadership experience consists of owning multiple GI Joes as a child? Defense! Guy who doesn't pick up the phone outside office hours? Where better to put him but emergency management?
Children swept away by floods or blown away by hurricanes? What does Trump care? And forget about FEMA, these whiners should help themselves! Meanwhile, Trump spatters the Oval Office with tasteless gold decorations and builds a ballroom. Priorities, people!
It wouldn't surprise me - with all those ugly showy rings, showing up at the first disaster site several hours late with his shirt unbuttoned down to his navel
Ta, Dok. So, Richardson understood his job as to shut it down? And everything expended had to be approved by Noem first? We truly lucked out this storm season.
Richardson quitting FEMA is the first time a man has resigned from a job he never actually showed up to. That’s not a career change. That’s a vibe.
The guy didn’t know hurricanes had a season. Didn’t answer his phone during mass-casualty floods. Locked himself out of his own email during a disaster. Jimmy Kimmel would say he wasn’t the head of FEMA. He was a cautionary tale with a badge.
FEMA is not just about hurricane season. Natural disasters can occur 24/7/365.
St. Louis experienced a devastating tornado on May 16 of this year. The total estimated damage from the EF-3 tornado is $1.6 billion, with over 5,000 buildings damaged or destroyed, including homes, businesses, and churches. There were five fatalities and 38 injuries. The destruction included widespread structural damage, downed trees and power lines, and extensive debris. One of my friends lost half her roof, while another had part of the top floor apartment come crashing down into her apartment, after which rain flooded her apartment (no injuries, thankfully). Many victims are only now getting funds to rebuild. FEMA was noticeably slow in responding and some residents have still not met with representatives from FEMA, 6 months later.
I repeat, FEMA IS NOT JUST ABOUT HURRICANE SEASON, Mr. Richardson! Jeeze Louise, what a idiot!
The story gets worse. My friend in Imperial had State Farm insurance, and they did pay for a new roof (although she had a $2000 deductible), and then they canceled her policy a week later. Now she can't find insurance she can afford.

"Hurricane season ends on 1 December. Since the danger has largely passed, I can now leave for other opportunities.”
Newsflash for Mr Richardson: when you began the job you were clueless that there was such a thing as Hurricane Season, and with the Fulvous Fuckwad being a climate change denier the season will extend to the entire year and the 'canes will be continuing to build in strength:
> "Hurricanes are rated on a scale from one to five, depending on their wind speeds. Category 5 indicates the most intense winds.
But as climate change makes hurricanes more powerful, and those powerful storms become more frequent, some hurricane researchers make the case in a new study that it may be necessary to add a Category 6.
“We found that five storms had exceeded this hypothetical Category 6, and all of them were recent, since 2013,” lead author Michael Wehner, a senior scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, told CBS News.
Look, from the plutocrat's perspective some of the little people are always being drowned, or crushed, or burned to death. It's too exhausting to bother with.
Last week the costco truck slid off the road, so no stove delivery.
Today I spent 2.5 hours shoveling my driveway so it was PRISTINE. It had stopped snowing by dawn, and my 1-3 delivery window meant all the roads were clear.
No stove. Called Costoco, who said the warehouse was going to call me in five minutes
Reader, they did not.
Off to teach piano, maybe we'll get the stove next week- they only deliver here on Tuesdays.
Imagine being so desperately thirsty for attention, hopelessly stupid, and cravenly entitled that your primary goal in life is to bear one of Elno $kum's several dozen genetically superior Nazi superchildren, and when that doesn't pan out, you settle for fucking chinless imbecile Dimwit Jr. instead. Let's hear it for Bettina Anderson!!
I started the steam cleaning project in the den. Because there were so many boxes, the carpet is clean in those areas that were covered. Unfortunately, the area that wasn't covered were done in by the three cats, who were guests along with their owner, who never cleaned up after them. I don't know if I will be able to get all of the spots out but I hope to, at least, make the spots harder to see.

I'm sure people can divert some of that $2K Tariff check for a new roof?

Oh, come off it. You don't seriously expect the head of an emergency management agency to be available at all hours, do you?
Look, let's not bicker and quarrel about who drowned who...."

Heat is energy. Add more energy to a system, and it becomes more energetic.
Science Fact
And a bit less stable.

End complaint.
Replacing one agency with 50 agencies will save money by the magic of positive thinking.
"We'll lose money on each one, but we'll make up for it in volume!"
If the federal government isn't going to do shit for us, do we still have to give them money?
Of course!
