He was covering Dotard's ample orange ass and I turned it off. I didn't hear if Mitchell asked him about the ten million dollars that were transferred out of FEMA's budget to ICE. Did she ask him?

You can hear the right wing political views in every sentence. He ended the interview by accusing Sen. Merkley of playing politics by complaining about the $10,000,000 transfer of FEMA funds to ICE.

Brock Long injects his own "your on your own, bro" world view into his job. His position is that FEMA should be parsimonious in the way it distributes aid to hurricane victims.

Another "best people" example.

if you only hear him a little bit, he sounds competent and rational.

I'll take your word for it, though. I haven't seen enough of him to judge for myself, but I trust posters around here, perhaps more than I should, but I think I can usually spot a troll.

Thanks for the info.

so his politics will be of absolutely no help. He needs to forget that crap and do the job we taxpayers are paying him to do. He works for us, and he needs to help our neighbors in Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and elsewhere. So shut up, Brock, and go to work.

Since trump and his voters hate California so much. I don’t expect there to be any federal response.

11. I think they'll do a fair enough job (at least much better than PR) in N & S Carolina
