Enhh… It’s a sleazy trick, and I’d support well-crafted legislation to cut down on similar tactics. BUT! It’s nothing compared to storming the Capitol building, or the president trying to get the governor of Georgia to fudge election results, or Trump offering a $5000 bribe for voters to keep a Republican majority in congress. So if it’s Democratic trick, gohd bless them. This time. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > It would take years to build FEMA 2.0 after all the people with experience have been spread to the wind. This statement applies throughout the federal government. The institutional memory that was purposely destroyed by Trump, the experience of decades that explains why things are done how they are done and why, will never be recouped. It makes me sick. ---
