At least two of the current FEMA staffers who signed onto the “Katrina Declaration” – which was an outright vote of no confidence in dog-murderer Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and acting FEMA chief David Richardson’s ability to handle a disaster on the scale of the cataclysmic 2005 hurricane – have been placed on paid leave by the Trump Regime for putting their names to the soft mutiny, the Associated Press reports, citing notices received by the officials on Tuesday.

There were 181 “signatories” to the manifesto of which just 35 were named and an unknown number among those are currently employed by the agency. Not sure how that works since it kind of obviates a “signature” if it’s not one’s name. They don’t call it a John Hancock because it was a drawing of a hand wrapped gripping a shaft in lieu of his name on his own death warrant.

Yet if the mechanics of these quantum superpositional anonymous signatures for the ones is unclear the reasoning is plain enough given the headline above. The notice to the suspended staffers says they’re still technically on-call and that the decision “is not a disciplinary action and is not intended to be punitive” which, as much as that sounds like bullshit, does raise the question of why they weren’t just fired immediately as they were obviously prepared to be by putting their names on the statement. Maybe the ones suspended are simply too important to just be canned outright.
