    I don’t think warning FEMA workers away from people (most of them) who literally co-sign with a sign in their yard the hate and fear mongering propaganda that is targeted towards them is a bad idea. However, that’s probably something done with voice comms from someone who is very good at conveying subtle context.

    Sometimes you just don’t put things in writing.

    That is literally what I just said. Take off the hate filter when you read.

    If you just said that you are always wrong, you were right, for the first time.

    You need to reread. You aren't making any sense.

    But here is a reason why one supervisor might issue that directive since we know it didn't come from the Federal head of FEMA or as a general directive of FEMA. As mentioned, I think it was wrong to issue the directive, but I understand why they might do it.

    A North Carolina man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly threatening harm against FEMA employees responding to Hurricane Helene, according to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.

    William Jacob Parsons, 44, was arrested and charged with Going Armed to the Terror of the Public, a misdemeanor, Capt. Jamie Keever said in a news release issued Monday.

    “Parsons was armed with a handgun and a rifle,” Keever said.

    What evidence do you have that this man had a Trump sign on his lawn?

    Then how does your article excuse the FEMA employee's order to not help people with Trump signs on their lawns?

    Because of MAGA people have set out to harm FEMA workers, a supervisor might instruct the workers to prioritize less risky actions by avoiding Trump sign properties. I disagree with that, but I understand why a supervisor might try to protect their workers in that way.

    The article doesn't provide any evidence that the guy is MAGA.

    You have any evidence that MAGA people have set out to harm FEMA workers? TDS truly infected every facets of this government. If your tribe had won, this hateful female FEMA worker would’ve gotten a raise. Since we thoroughly kicked your ass his time, Trump will make sure this hateful loser is looking for another job as well as all government employees across the board who decided to be a damn activist instead of doing their job.

    You are free to call the NY Times Nazis. But you should understand that when you do that, the only real effect it has is to lessen the significance of the word when you use it.

    I won't go into the analysis of your pattern of posts, exaggerated generalizations, and other reasons why some people might not get that joke from you.

    But one thing to notice is the non sequiter connection you made about socialists and sense of humor.
