The top official in charge of the federal government’s disaster response has taken to social media to double down on his claim that he’s experienced “teleportation” – an experience he insists was real and connected to his religious beliefs – while also saying his remarks have been taken out of context.

    I’ve teleported twice in my life. However since I’m a functioning adult these days, allow me to condense the relevant finding of those experiences for you:

    Don’t mix drugs and alcohol.

    The longer I’m an adult the more terrifying it is to realize how many people there are in positions of power over people who are either complete morons or straight up mentally ill.

    I’ve teleported too, a few times in the past - it can be a bit confusing, like blam you’re suddenly somewhere else. Then I’ve recalled the heinous quantities of booze and drugs I’ve consumed that day and kinda shrugged.

    CNN previously reported that Phillips, who serves as associate administrator for the Office of Response and Recovery at FEMA, described in a podcast last year multiple episodes in which he said he was suddenly teleported miles away — including once to a Waffle House roughly 50 miles from where he had been.

    I hope that Waffle House was open, per the Waffle House Index.

    TIL Donald Trump put Cecil Stedman in charge of FEMA while I wasn’t looking.

      That would never happen because Cecil is (usually) competent.

        He wasn’t there to eat; he was there to assess the devastation after a fight.
