She's probably too low level to have access to this information but I really wonder where all of that FEMA money went. Whose family members got no-bid contracts for services at inflated prices?1836er said:THIS, THIS, THIS is the way!!!!Tom Kazansky 2012 said:
Ma'am, would you be willing to testify to that in a court of law?
We might have a deal for you.
The Trump DOJ needs to seek out whistleblowers in every single federal agency as part of a systematic effort to root out ALL of the administrative state/deep state apparatchiks.
I think if was more along the lines of: "If we approach a house with a Trump sign, there's likely to be an incident."MiamiHopper said:
So she's saying there were a bunch of incidents with homeowners that had Trump signs? Wonder what the incident reports describe.

Interesting that Aggie Roland is amplifying this story.
Added, bolded words are the thing. Not all Trump supporters would be abusive. Can't punish all of them because of "some".Logos Stick said:
Ok, don't throw rocks at me, but... if you are getting hostility, verbal abuse, threats, etc... from some Trump supporters - and I 100% believe she was - is it OK to avoid all of those homes?

FEMA had it in their handbook the equity needs to be considered when rendering aid.
FEMA official who was fired for avoiding homes with Trump signs says they did it in the Carolinas too.

You don't know if you will be abused or threatened until you knock on the door.
So basically what you are saying is that you can't refuse to be harassed or abused based on a high probability you will be. You have to knock on each door and get what you get. If its 10-1 abuse in that area, well, that's just your problem.
I would put my trust in the Cajun Navy over those swamp rats at FEMA.William Foster said:
Conservative "rednecks" will go out of their way to help you in the wake of any disaster, regardless of your color, gender, religion, or political affiliation.
Not only are government liberals essentially worthless in the immediate wake of any type of catastrophe, when they finally do arrive, they are willing to let their political enemies suffer, out of hatred and spite.
WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

I was reading elsewhere that some of the people that worked for FEMA in the past liked to help themselves to other's property after disasters. I have no doubt that certain people might be hostile toward them coming to their property to "help" them after a natural disaster...
On top of that, when the government offers disaster relief to these people, it is more like a loan that has to be paid back or they seize their property at some point down the line..
It's almost like the government is taking advantage of these people in their worst time of need.
This is why I'm going to have to watch the whole damn interview.TheEternalOptimist said:

So no answer. OK.
If that's what you believe, fine. But I can see not wanting to get harassed on the job. It would be like me wearing a MAGA hat in DC! I'm gonna get harassed and cussed at and maybe physically assaulted. HIGH probability of it! I can see a lot of Trump supporters being combative and abusive with FEMA. To state otherwise is being disingenuous.

Haven't watched it all, but her position is that a house with a Trump sign was likely to have "hostile" reception to FEMA. To the extent of greeting FEMA workers with "guns blazing". (Her words.)

Is Roland Martin doing journalism now?
It really would have to be both for it to be a thing. If not politically driven, why would they worry about safety?Ghost91 said:jrdaustin said:

Yeah, when they showed the little FEMA checklist that she sent out, all of the items were safety-related stuff ("Stay in groups"…"Hydrate often"…"Watch for downed power lines", etc.).
The "Don't approach houses with Trump signs" was on there, so I figured they'd take the stance that it was a safety tip, not a standalone politically-driven directive.
Definitely not excusing it and it's still inexcusable/unacceptable, but that does seem like that was the motive.

This is what I actually took from the message. It was in a list of "best practices" that included don't go anywhere alone. There had also been reports of govt employees being threatened and (as we see on this board) right leaning people aren't very pro fed, especially towards DHS.aggiemark99 said:
She is saying the avoided Trump supporter houses because Trump supporters had been "hostile" and that FEMA told them to avoid confrontation not specifically Trump supporters. This seems like a classic case of blaming the victim. Also sounds like she is covering her own rear. Doubt this will have legs.
If FEMA were staffed by ex-military (planners, ops and logistics guys), it would be a great planning and coordinating agency. Coordinate amongst the volunteer groups (cajun navy etc etc...), local govts (police, fire, ems, etc) and provide federal resources.Jason C. said:
Honest question, do we need a FEMA? Is this not something that can be handled by state governments, state guards, literally anyone else?
I am now so overly suspicious of all federally-administered largesse, where winners and losers are picked based on politics.
