He lasted two years and he’s a career emergency management professional.
Is this a portent about Trump pulling disaster recovery money away from his agency to build the wall and he’s expressing his discontent with that approach?
Heckuva job, Brocky…
“FEMA Administrator Brock Long announced Wednesday that he would step down from the emergency management agency.”
Can people in Miami hear the deafening cheers all the way from Puerto Rico?
An Acting FEMA Administrator. Wow, didn’t see that one coming.
As long as the resident’s ignore the giant neon “For Sale” sign, as Trump Realty has listed Puerto Rico as a short sale foreclosure…
Rat crawls into lifeboat.
That’s what I think. It’s a nice way of saying something more like this:
“It’s hard enough to draw attention and resources to real emergencies when there is a clown show hogging all the attention and blame-throwing on the victims - and Now…? A Fake National emergency and pulling funds from ongoing relief efforts… wtf are we supposed to do… that’s it. Towel.Thrown.In”
Long may have been given advance notice his budget was being raided to fund Trump’s Southern Border Vanity Project.
I hear he’s going to brand his name, and loan it to Netflix for their new series “Brock Long - Disaster Professional”
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said that Long would have to reimburse the government for the cost of the vehicles and staff involved in the trips, many of which were between Washington and his home in North Carolina. The report puts that cost at $151,000.
“Acting” this, “acting” that. Pretty soon the Trump administration will be handing out Oscar awards to those “best actors and actresses in a supporting/sycophantic/boot licking role.” There are many, many to nominate.
looks like someone stood in the way of somebodies idea to using FEMA coffers for a wall…
Translation: “Trump’s about to declare a national emergency over Global Browning and then steal FEMA funding meant for actual emergencies in blue states like CA and Puerto Rico, all just to feed his white Christian nationalist white supremacist base’s cultural resentments, and there is no fucking way I am sticking around to be at the center of that runaway shitstorm.”
With “Brock Long” as a handle, he’s definitely got a future in adult entertainment.
What a face! If I was flooded or my house had burnt to the ground, he’s not the guy I would want to see coming to help.
Would love to read a transcript of his exit interview
Buh-bye, Brownie!
I know that Brock has been investigated but does anyone else think another investigation was in the works?
ETA
I forgot there’s a new sheriff in town and her deputies are ready, willing and able to investigate.
I hereby nominate Trump’s entire “acting” Cabinet for the Hasty Pudding worst actor/actress of the year award.
This is going to end very badly for Donald Trump.
Yay
