FEMA Rescinds Strategic Plan less than 2 Weeks Before Hurricane Season

Thursday, May 22, 2025

One FEMA official described the strategic plan to CBS News as the agency's "organizational backbone." "Without it, there are just a bunch of offices doing whatever they feel like doing," the official said.

Trump's position is the usual: Not my problem.

86 ONLY means to assassinate.

MAGAs have told me this.

Must be a headline fail.

Nothing left to do but watch terribly powerful hurricane and tornadoes tear apart our country, and then watch FEMA blame everyone else for their inaction.

State after State to FEMA: "HELP! We need your help in the aftermath of the hurricane/tornado/earthquake/wildfire/bombing that hit our citizens!!!"

FEMA to State after State: "Our offices are now closed. Our office hours are 9am to 4pm Eastern Time, with lunch between 11:30am and 2pm. If you would like to leave a message for a representative, please wait for the beep."

That's the beauty of weather... can't ban it, can't tax it, can't even tariff it. It's coming regardless.

Trumpf thought the US military can nuke a hurricane

He was just asking questions. Like, "What if you just shove a bright light up your ass?".

To be fair, they certainly could. It wouldn't do anything useful, but they could.

It's a bit bothersome that if he ordered them to do it, they would have to follow the order.

"To be fair, they certainly could. It wouldn't do anything useful, but ... "

I know you're joking.

Nuking a hurricane would scatter radioactive debris over time zones.

Scores of government employees would resign before they'd find a moron stupid enough to follow through.

Aw, who am I kidding; it's the Trump administration. Stephen Miller would be doing his best Slim Pickens impersonation atop the nuke.

Doesn't matter. POTUS can nuke anything he wants; with a reason, or without. Job perk.

"We now live in the Trump era, where the president's terrible ideas are made real by a team of enablers and toadies. Democracy may die in darkness, but under Trump, it's just as liable to die in dumbness."
