When I get back to Washington that’s the first thing, we’re gonna — we need a reorganization of FEMA.
We JUST HAD ONE!! That was the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
And then they’ll tell you, ‘Oh, we didn’t send that money to the illegals.’ The hell they didn’t
That has been authorized by Congress the last three appropriations bills. More importantly, that money is for Customs and Border Patrol which for some odd reason, FEMA cuts the checks when it comes to SSP expenditures, why is that? Oh because that’s just how the Homeland Security Act of 2002 works.
So the interesting thing here is that Congress writes a confusing method for how accounting works within a department and is then shocked that the manner by how funds get paid is so confusing. Who could have possible seen this coming? I guess 9/11 kind of clouded our ability to have foresight.
SIGH
At any rate. The whole FEMA writes checks that CBP will cash has been weird ever since 2002, that you all finally have come around to “Oh gosh they’re spending this on illegals” is just y’all’s take on the oddity. But strange that “Oh gosh that’s odd” doesn’t seem to hit when FEMA is writing checks for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that was going on in 2017 to 2019. Nor when DHS Secretary requested Disaster Relief Funds for ICE to deport illegal immigrants, remember that one?
The thing is, FEMA being this bank account for various other agencies in the Department of Homeland Security only seems weird when it’s distinctly shit y’all don’t agree with. And let me be clear. I get it, we DO NEED to reorganize FEMA. I’m not debating that. But FEMA should not be a agency of DHS since twenty-two years ago, because this is the shit that happens when you mix agencies like this together.
And this is the thing, Congress knew that this kind of weird shit would happen when they originally placed FEMA into DHS, that was the entire fucking point. Y’all wanted to intermix disaster relief with border protection and all the various bullshit that’s involved with the latter because then when you needed funding you could all gasp and go “WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO FUND RECOVERY FROM DISASTERS!!” And this guy hasn’t shied away from that argument, he’s just using the other side of the coin argument for this instance.
You all have created these weird interactions because it gives you cover when you need it, and a scapegoat when you want it. Burchett can continue to be a useless sack of shit that collects a paycheck and does nothing, just like DesJarlais. These fuckers go to DC, yell at a camera, collect their paycheck, and go home and in, DesJarlais’ case, I guess to go impregnate some aide.
Tennessee second, fourth, fifth, and sixth district are fucking useless bastards that if they went into a bathroom in Congress and jerked off would be more than they usually do in a typical day. Anything they have to say should be treated with about the same dignity one gives bird shit on their vehicle’s windshield. I mean the others aren’t that great, but at least they have demonstrated some small ability to reason. Those four are a fucking lost cause.
