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

    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?

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

    Phillips, a conservative activist who spread voter fraud conspiracies

    Nobody spreads conspiracies. One either takes part in conspiracies or spreads conspiracy theories. Those are very different things.

      Wait. You’re saying that The Mirror, noted bastion of low-quality tabloid reporting, has stated something incorrectly?

      Shocking.

    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!!

          It was tequila that caused another mysterious event. I was on a binge and this attractive woman took me back to her place. Then the blackout. The very next morning, she still had a pretty face but had gained 40 pounds overnight. Inexplicable.

      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.

    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.

    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.”
