You mean that Pres Trump's decimation of FEMA has had a negative effect on how FEMA is ale to serve Americans when they face a disaster?

Who could have ever seen that coming?

another example of you turds not knowing what the F you're talking about because your sources
are GD liars.

he said when taking the job that he was there just through hurricane season,

that's no excuse for him that weekend but it does
prove "you people" are stupidly uninformed.

Hmm...

From the outset, Richardson's leadership style garnered attention. In his first all-hands meeting he told agency staff: "Don't get in my way ... I will run right over you," and declared, "I and I alone speak for FEMA."

Doesn't sound like he was going to be there just through hurricane season. Speaking of...

In one widely reported gaffe, Richardson also told colleagues he was unaware the U.S. has a hurricane season " comments sources say raised serious concerns among seasoned emergency managers.

More like stupidly informed. The usual suspects fall for leftwing clickbait agitprop every time without exception.

They still haven't found all of the victims who drowned because the decomposing------------------- gutted NOAA and the NWS.

My advice to Specs Richardson: don't EVER go to Texas, not even just to change planes. You are hated more than hoof and mouth disease there...
