FEMA leader is a no-show after deadly Texas flooding

David Richardson hasn't made public appearances, statements or social media postings since last week's flood. Former FEMA officials say that's concerning.

As the Federal Emergency Management Agency responds to the deadly flooding in Texas, one key resource is missing: the FEMA leader.

David Richardson, the agency’s acting administrator, has not been to the site of one of the nation’s deadliest floods in the U.S. in the past 25 years, upending a long practice of FEMA leaders making themselves visible after major disasters.

Big red flags on that giant cross ring, which either is a Knights of Malta thing or a Christofascist thing. The new head of FEMA is probably definitely a full on white/Christian Nationalist, and Trump lackey even more than the last FEMA chief, who has the temerity to say, in front of Congress, that it might not be a good idea if FEMA is disbanded, because they're, you know, handy for disasters.

Here's an interview from CBS.

Acting head of FEMA said he wasn't aware U.S. has a hurricane season, sources say

It was not clear to staff whether FEMA's David Richardson meant it literally or as a joke, but current and former employees who spoke with C

This is the era of You Can't Make This Up.

The acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) did not know that there is a hurricane season. I have known about the season for as long as I've known about tropical weather.

In case Trump lackey David Richardson is reading this, the North Atlantic Hurricane Season begins on June 1st and ends on November 30th. Also Craig, there is now what might be called a pre-season from May 15th to 31st.

Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were confused and dispirited on Monday after the acting head of the agency said during a daily briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to three sources familiar with the meeting. The remark was made by David Richardson at the conclusion of an 8:30 a.m. daily operational briefing typically attended by hundreds of FEMA staffers and interagency partners. Reuters was first to report the comment. Richardson, a former Marine Corps officer, has led FEMA since early May.  It was not clear to staff whether he meant it literally or as a joke, but current and former employees who spoke with CBS News said the comment flustered many who genuinely believe Richardson was truly surprised to learn that hurricane season had started. 

After the damage was done, it was claimed that Richardson was not serious. Even if that were true, it's a terrible idea for heads of government agencies to joke about disasters affecting millions of people.

As if to emphasize the point, the first North Atlantic disturbance of the season appeared off the coast of southeastern United States.

This one probably won't amount to much. But it's a reminder that there's more to come.
