Less than two weeks until the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, Federal Emergency Management Agency acting Administrator David Richardson has rescinded the agency's strategic plan, a comprehensive policy document that outlines the disaster relief agency's priorities.

Holy fuck.

Every storm is going to have thousands dead and catastrophic damage that can't be fixed.

The leopards are going to feast on ALL the southern faces.

That's what you get when you allow Vigo the Cruel to escape his painting.

Just what I’d expect from a Carpathian.

Specially now that the meteorological system is composed of a guy sitting on top of a high raise just watching for clouds. Sure we got thousands of Tesla racist internet satellites. But weather, that's a two person team...the person looking for clouds and the woman in the news pointing at fake clouds on the OLED screen.

Scrapped the plan, and there is no plan. One coming "by Summer" which I assume is some FoxBarbie named Summer who will produce a poorly-stolen copy of a shitpost on stormfront about how FEMA should only help whites and then immediately petition the Supreme Court to let them do that.

Richardson has been FEMA's acting administrator for less than two weeks, replacing the agency's former acting head, Cameron Hamilton, who was fired by the Trump administration after he told lawmakers he doesn't believe eliminating FEMA is in the country's "best interests."

It really would have been great if everyone had gone out to vote last November.

yea, weirdly, the "vote 3rd party"/ "i'm not voting" chuds have shut the fuck up lately...

Unfortunately, the only indicator on storm severity will be the Waffle House index. Or more morbidly, how many storm chasers die...

Quick reminder Waffle House is unfortunately a huge republiQan donor company.

Good Point! And the Waffle House Index is only whether they are open. Ye gads, don't eat there!

Storm chargers are safe, we won't have the weather data for them to chase the storms

Insurance companies LOVE this one trick!

Phew! It's a GOOD THING Hurricanes ONLY effect Blue States!

I hope and pray that a freak hurricane of immense strength absolutely levels DC.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Why? DC is solid blue and doesn't even have any political power. DC doesn't have voting representation in Congress or even full home rule. The politicians in power are sent there from the rest of the country.

Because Trump and all the republicans are fucking fascist assholes. I want them all GONE!

Trump spends most of his time at mar a lago and his golf course in NJ. Or at least he did last term.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

None of them are from DC. They are ALL from other parts of the country. They get ALL of their support from other parts of the country. You just want to wipe out a disenfranchised, majority black city that you know nothing about, because the rest of the country sends people there that you don't like.

The new plan is focus on wherever 47's magic marker points to
