But you can understand that known fake new like that from the FEMA response make people cautious in believing reports such as this, don't you?

We live in a world where any random person on X is viewed as a legit source of news. It's often difficult to get the true story, so it comes down to figuring out what you think is true and to what degree you believe it. I'm definitely leaning toward this story being true... so far.

Hell, I didn't believe that FEMA actually had a policy of not engaging homes with Trump signs. I thought it was made up... until I didn't.

As biased as Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro) are politically, they seem to get news stories right. Once they get it right, Ben will likely go off the rails on his podcast with his rhetoric and interpretation of what it means, of course.
 
All the stories I have found on this so far point to the same source. But I also found stories in 2023 about Republicans criticizing the Biden Administration auctioning off left over wall materials (which they were doing supposedly in accordance with federal excess property disposition regulations).

www.newsweek.com

Joe Biden sold off border wall materials weeks before approving new wall

The government has been auctioning lots of tubing since at least July, with the most recent sales ending just a day before it announced fresh construction.

Exclusive | Biden quietly sells off border wall parts to thwart GOP push to use them

President Biden is quietly selling off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts – apparently to stymie pending legislation in Congress…

Biden also had to apply some remaining border wall funds to build more wall in 2023:

So, no clear answer whether the last few auctions are some devious rush before Trump takes office or continuing a process that has been underway for over a year.

I would hope the government auctioned off the Trump Border Fence you could cut through with basic battery-powered tools from a Lowes. Maybe someone could put it to good use for a chicken coop or something. Doesn't do a damn bit of good on the border.

You think that FEMA had a policy of not engaging homes with Trump signs?

No. To clarify, a FEMA leader directed members of a hurricane relief team to not engage with Trump supporter houses.

Either way, I initially thought it was nonsense.

I think that might be in reference to a team leader in one area.

You know, it's the same way that a platoon leader in Afghanistan could change the entire US policy there if he had troops ignore some of the RoE in areas they were under direct threat. With great power comes great responsibility.

So, intentionally misrepresenting?

Got it.

Don't be defensive when people call you on bullshit when you come to rally spew it.

One person at FEMA engaged in this and was fired for it. One.

You knew that and you said that FEMA had a policy of it. Thats a damned lie.

Yep, I knew the reference. I just couldn't let that particular pile of horseshit pass.

That's not a policy, your post made it sound like there was an actual policy.

If this FEMA person made that statement, then they should not be in that position. Their job is to help people in need, not have an opinion if the person's political views justify the need.

Exactly, Zen's post claimed it to be a policy...

X is launching its own mail service???

I wouldn't even open something from someone who uses it

They teased Xmail in February to a good bit of media oohing and ahhhing, then nothing except a lot of Gmail users stung by phishing scams claiming to be an opportunity to be among the first to transfer to Xmail and transferring all their Gmail credentials and info to the scammers.

Meanwhile Musk is teasing Xmail again now, so maybe it is ready to go. But I would assume anything claiming to be from or about Xmail is still a scam for now.

Musk wants to be able to scrape data from Gmails nearly 2B users, I guess. Why let Google have all that data?
