Of course it was a waffle house he “teleported” to. Seems you never end up at one by choice.

    Just when I thought this season of America had jumped the shark, they introduce a brilliant new comic relief character.

    I too have figured out teleportation. All it takes is for me to consume a bottle of tequila, and I wake up some time later in a dumpster outside of a Wal Mart. Two things I have yet to figure out; why is it always a dumpster outside Wal Mart? And why do I always lose my pants when passing through the quantum realm? Who, or what, is stealing my pants?

        Aliens!! Tequila also must summon Aliens…
        See, I once was out drinking tequila in the town with my mates then, in a blink of an eye, it was the next day and I was in my bed. I think I was abducted by Alienssss.

        Whisky too.
        There’s been a few times when drinking whisky that I’ve either teleported to a completely different place. Or lost large swathes of time but stayed in the same place.
        Also those aliens would sometimes puke on me, or strip me and leave me in my bath then shit on me. Those quirky filthy bastards!!

    Previously, he oddly claimed that he involuntarily teleported to a Waffle House in Georgia that was 50 miles away.

    Umn… Aren’t blackouts like that typically a sign of alcoholism or other substance abuse?

    The destination Waffle House was apparently in Rome, GA. I wonder where the origin “50 miles away” was?

    Not because I believe he actually teleported, mind you, but because he was obviously driving while blackout drunk and I want him to stay the Hell away from me.

    I’m no longer phased by any new confirmations that we’re in the “circus” alternate reality of the one we thought we inhabited.

      The people at FEMA praise him cause at least it seems like he actually wants to help after disasters unlike anyone else in government right now… That is where we are at somehow. We are just happy the illegitimate leader nutsos aren’t against all help.

        Amazing Digital Circus is just retelling I have No Mouth, and I must Scream, so that would mean we all died but 5-6 of us and this is just torture for them.

        Please not that.

    However, after a weeks in the role, several FEMA officials said they came around to Phillips after seeing his initiative during the January storm response.

    “Gregg Phillips is FEMA’s best hope at this moment. I can’t believe I’m saying that,” one high-ranking FEMA official told CNN at the time.

    Same, unnamed FEMA official, same.

      @wjrii I would word it more as, “He’s obviously terrible and clearly insane, but probably the best we can hope for from this regime for now.”

        Just not actively trying to destroy the department puts him in the upper echelon of competence for this administration.
