During his first all-hands meeting with agency personnel, acting Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator David Richardson issued a striking warning: “Don’t get in my way,” the former United States Marine Corps ground combat officer told staff, according to a recording of the speech obtained by CBS News.
“Obfuscation, delay, undermining,” Richardson continued, referencing tactics he believed a fraction of FEMA staff might try to subvert his agenda. “If you’re one of those 20% of the people and you think those tactics and techniques are going to help you, they will not, because I will run right over you. I will achieve the president’s intent.”
Richardson’s formal title is Senior Official Performing the Duties of FEMA Administrator. He was named to the role Thursday and has not been formally nominated nor confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
“Rise…and shine…Misterrrr Freeman”
When does hurricane season start?
“I don’t stop at yield signs,” he continued.
I haven’t heard this expression before. I understand that he’s trying to project the whole ‘alpha male’ things through that phrase. But that’s a fucking stupid expression. Yield signs are there for everyone’s safety, including your own. Not yielding at them, either literally or figuratively, is the sign of a dunce.
Also, many times you’re not supposed to stop at yield signs. I assume he means “ever, including when someone else is in the roadway”, but it’s just a muddled statement.
Yeah, he’s trying to project power in attempt to make people comply before they’re forced to. Hopefully it fails. If it were me, I’d be more likely to fight back after he says something like this.
I bet he meant that literally and gets his car T-Boned every other week.
Those are mighty strong word form an American man who drinks tea.
GFY, u POS.
So much small dick energy from this guy it’s just absolutely ridiculous.
Why is helping those in need such a contentious situation that such bravado is needed? smh
Because they don’t care about helping people and never have. They only care about themselves.
I can’t stop laughing at this dude’s overcompensation. Your tough guy shtick is actually hilarious, and I would laugh in your face if I could.
Someone should question why he drinks tea, and not black coffee, like a real merican
black coffee with no, sugar, or sweetener or creamer that is. caffiene might be too much for this old fart: high blood pressure, or high heart beat rate.
I’m a bit of a coffee snob but a correctly made and balanced coffee doesn’t need anything added to it, imo
The guy looks like a corpse.
An angry, hateful corpse drawn by AI
they used the same necromancer that raised mitch, chuck greasley, kissinger,etc. all them are lich lords.
Why does every picture of these sycophants look like they’re questioning their life choices?
The vibes this guy is giving off makes me think he’s the type to walk into a Subway (the sandwich place) strapped with an assault rifle and at least one or two pistols, wearing a bulletproof vest, and drove there in an oversized pickup truck plastered with decals including “Come and take it”, “Don’t tread on me”, and the Punisher logo.
Nothing inspires people like hollow threats. These clowns are so far away from leadership material it is pathetic.
“I will achieve the president’s intent.” How does anyone know what that is? He swings wildly on issue to issue on a daily basis.
Maybe Putin told him directly
First thing I thought when seeing that thumbnail!
HE IS VEGO!!
