FEMA cleared of wrongdoing in probe into anti-Trump bias

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been cleared of wrongdoing in a probe focusing on anti-Trump bias, according to a Monday court document.

According to a Justice Department email in the document, a FEMA probe investigating bias against Trump-supporting homes allegedly displayed by a Florida-based FEMA employee in the wake of Hurricane Milton and Helene “found no evidence that this was a systemic problem, nor that it was directed by agency or field leadership.”

The document came as part of a case in which Florida sued former FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell and the employee, Marn’i Washington, but Florida and Criswell have now come to a settlement. Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), then the Sunshine State’s attorney general, alleged late last year that Criswell “agreed” to refuse Trump supporters relief with Washington, who was terminated.

“While the facts will continue to come out over the weeks and months, it is already clear that Defendant Washington conspired with senior FEMA officials, as well as those carrying out her orders, to violate the civil rights of Florida citizens,” read Moody’s November complaint.

That would relieve Powell of inflation fears and allow him to believe lowering interest rates won't reignite inflation.

FLOTUS (The Fucking Loser Of The United States) is without a doubt stupid...

Nonetheless, I also have no doubt that he's repetitively and purposefully pumping and dumping the market in furtherance of the ultimate fire sale for billionaires.

May Darwin serve us well... and quickly!
