FLORIDA Sues Biden-Harris FEMA for Denying Disaster Assistance to Homeowners with TRUMP Signs.

This BS about threatening situations is BS. That's what the National Guard and Police protection is for. 🥶️

Welcome to the world of government contracting. Where the government contracts out a ton of things. I've worked on a few government contracts. And from experience one of the agencies tried to get a contract from straight up sucked.

And to be honest. It would not be cost effective to have that many people sitting around doing nothing for most of the year waiting for a disaster to happen.

Ha! So he was the “truck load of militia” we heard about a few weeks ago.

The sheriff's office said that initial reports indicated that a "truckload of militia" were involved in the threats but further investigation determined Parsons acted alone.

www.newsweek.com...

Turned out to be a lone wingnut.

Regardless, there are reports from FEMA personnel that they were instructed to bypass Trump homes.

An administration that encourages an environment where unelected bureaucrats and civil servants feel comfortable injecting their political beliefs into their work day is unacceptable.

Sounds like Peter Strzok and Lisa Page 2.0.

Yes that is true, but these agencies get their funding by the taxpayer, soo when they refuse to assist certain members of the community on disaster areas, they are robbing the taxpayer of necessary funds while nick picking.

The law sues will be against the federal government, that supports fema, like I say the entire agency needs to be cleansed out.

I am sure that people will be compensated with the law sues, after all they are the same people that their tax dollars support fema.

I'm a big believer and putting high-level crooks in jail. Just because they were at the top of a government agency shouldn't make them exempt. This guy who was the head of the U.S. Senate Classified Document section leaked Top Secret documents to the press in 2017/2018. The Senate slapped him on the wrist by firing him. His replacement is not afraid to earn money by doing the same thing, because there is no severe price to pay if you're working for the U.S. Senate.

THAT MUST CHANGE.

The FEMA officials who ordered the avoidance of Trump homes MUST GO TO TRIAL.

Yes they did that in North Carolina and their excuse was that they were afraid religious organizations were going to discriminate against transgenders.

What the Fush these people are talking about, this is the worst crap I have ever heard.

FEAR is the predominate emotion of Liberals, it seems.

This evening, every story on CBS Nightly News is about liberals IN FEAR OF SOMETHING.

In Fear of Kennedy, in Fear of Climate, in Fear of Trump, They should just jump off a building (into an ally so no one gets hurt on the ground), if they're so afraid of life. Seriously. Make the world a better place!

he must have been a big man to scare the entire FEMA department.

If there is some sort of malfeasance it should be investigated. Lord knows the government is rife with people doing sketchy things.

Who knows. The guys posted a bunch of threatening things online apparently. And the police went looking for him. Found and captured him. He was armed and made threats towards the deputies. They charged him with going armed to the terror of the public.

Here's one of his posts. Not sure if that counts of a threat. We will see what happens here. Courts will decide.

“We The People, are sick and tired of the B.S. ... We The People are seeking Volunteers to join us, to Overtake the FEMA site in Lake Lure and send the products up the mountain this Saturday. We The People are DONE PLAYING GAMES. It is time we show who we are and what we believe... They want to screw our citizens. Now, we Return the favor…"

All that fore one guy and yet all the victims were bypassed!! Sounds like an acted out staged setup 😀

Fired FEMA worker says Florida homes with Trump signs were skipped due to hostility

How do you know someone is going to be hostile if you skip talking to them?

a reply to: grey580

They charged him with going armed to the terror of the public.

I mean I can see if he did that in Canadastan, wearing not only a pistol but having a rifle too out in public...

But is that an actual thing in Missouri now?

Things have certainly changed since I was there...



ETA, NvM, looked it up...

Laws long enshrined in North Carolina and several other states hold that the answer is “yes,” at least when certain conditions are met. It was one of those laws that sheriff’s deputies in Durham used to take Dixon, the armed leftist counter-protester, off the streets last August. In addition to breaking a state law that bans guns at demonstrations, Dixon was charged with a second crime, called “going armed to the terror of the public.” The language sounds fusty because it is: It comes from a centuries-old English statute that predates the American Revolution. In North Carolina, officers and prosecutors are finding plenty of modern-day applications for the law, bringing charges for “going armed to the terror of the public” 344 times last year.

The 14th century “Statute of Northampton,” as it was known, explicitly forbade publicly carrying pistols and daggers — whether “secretly” or in the “open” … “to the terrour of all people professing to travel and live peaceably.” The prohibition migrated to the American colonies, such that, for instance, Massachusetts passed a law modeled on the Statute of Northampton barring residents from going out to “ride or go armed offensively, to the fear or terror of the good citizens of this Commonwealth.”

So anti-Second Amendment people are now bringing up charges using a law that predates our Constitution.

How fitting.

You are correct but the framework has to be in place permanently or you end up with fiascos like we have seen this year.

Kind of like in the reserves, you cant keep people on orders year round so you designate enough to keep the unit deployment ready and they are hired as civil servants to keep the equipment ready and any other items inventoried.

While others are in non-stop training to handle the on the ground ops.

Talk about problems with the government in response to disasters....look at this. Remember when they killed all those chickens because they said they had covid and the price of eggs went real high? This article was done in early twenty one, but they already knew that chickens could not get the virus in late 2019 it appears. The B coronaviruses do not effect birds it appears.

The cover up of people quoting science when they were not actually paying attention to what science said caused problems.

On top of that, it mentions that most soaps and antibacterials killed the virus...remember how they said only alcohol was PROVEN to work....because they did not test anything else in their quest to promote fear.

Here is a Springer article addressing this....remember, in 2019 it was an election year, seems politicians are quoting science and promoting fear to prove they can save us if we elect them.

I know this is off topic, but this article is worth reading and I do not feel like starting a thread about it.

my guess is, they were afraid it might happen, so they acted as if it did. For safety.

What they did was project their own asinine mindset onto Maga.

That is why a centrally planned economy is no good.

a reply to: WeMustCare

Good!

I hope every single one of them dems, gets sued so hard they spend the rest of their corrupt lives in Gitmo.

They should be sued for dereliction of duty, negligence and intentionally risking American lives in a disaster, for political gain.

Which should then lead to dems and rinos both, being charged then prosecuted for misappropriation of taxpayers funds, inciting violence, aiding and comforting an enemy by sending pallets of cash to Iran.

Which leads to treason charges, and their lives being spent in Gitmo.

Lock them up, drain that swamp!

Make America Great Always!

a reply to: grey580

I think you missed the point. One guy. Not "ALL OF MAGA". One guy. And the entire FEMA entity was scared enough to intentionally not help supporters of one political party. If you buy that, you have my sympathies.

You're right.

So you keep FEMA with a small full time staff. They maintain generators, trailers, etc. When disaster strikes, FEMA send the equipment to where it is needed... with a check. The check is given to the state, who uses the money locally as needed using local contractors. Then, at least, those hit by disater are able to earn a living helping neighbors until they return to normal.

Just locals being paid to help locals will increase community bonds and keep the local economy idling at least.

a reply to: grey580

But that's not how government IDIQ contracts work. And, it's why these contracts can suck royale (for some). I've worked on these contracts for decades. You don't get paid if you don't get directed to perform some work. Just because a contract has a "maximum contract liability" (amount) doesn't mean you're going to get paid that much. Generally, Task Orders are issued against that amount, and it's the Task Orders you get paid for. So, unless the Task Order directs you to mobilize with (x) number of resources to location (y) and then wait around for further instructions (which some do, but very few), then you don't get paid.

I've seen hundred million dollar contract awards go to companies and then not a single Task Order gets issued against them (so they get paid zero). Fortunately, I've never had this happen to any of our contracts, but it all depends on how you perform when you DO get mobilized, and then how honest you are about your billing and so forth. Many times companies are asked to work up rate sheets with unit prices for all resources. In a multi-award, if your unit prices are higher than your competitor's unit prices, then you won't get any Task Orders issued against your contract unless the max contract liability of a competitor's contract has been reached and/or that contractor gets saturated (with work) to the point where their performance is dropping off.

This is why they use contractors. People that can ramp up quickly and hit the ground running. It's most cost effective way. Plus these big companies lobby the government for stuff like this.
