Sometimes I am sad I block trolls because when a thread gets as derailed as this one, I wonder WTH happened. But, most of the time I am just glad I blocked the idjits.

To put President Trump in the same sentence as Hurricane Florence is as about as demented as it gets.

 

And you Trump-hating morons can't understand why REAL Americans aren't throwing pitchforks at the President, just like you unhinged idiots do.

 

I just shake my head as this goes to show you that you pinheads will use ANYTHING to continue your stupid hate towards Trump.

Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is running for Senate, and gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis both turned on President Trump in the wake of his Thursday tweets denying that nearly 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico as a result of Hurricane Maria, publicly reaffirming their confidence in the results of the independent study. “I disagree with @POTUS,” Scott tweeted. “An independent study said thousands were lost and Gov. Rosselló agreed. I’ve been to Puerto Rico 7 times & saw devastation firsthand. The loss of any life is tragic; the extent of lives lost as a result of Maria is heart wrenching. I’ll continue to help PR.” A spokesperson for DeSantis took a similar tack, noting that “[DeSantis] doesn’t believe any loss of life has been inflated,” according to a tweet from an NBC correspondent. Democratic Senate candidate Bill Nelson, who will face Scott in the Nov. 6 primary, also criticized Trump’s take: “The president’s comments on the nearly 3,000 American lives lost in Puerto Rico are shameful. We deserve and expect more from someone who holds the highest office in our country.”

Like 240 school shootings in one year, where things like an incident with scissors counts has a school shooting.

 

Or a shooting that occurred at 2 a.m. near a school property, but not involving any students, counts as a school shooting.

Hey 5 Watt, can you tell us what's wrong with this excerpt?

I wonder why the media thinks this type of crap is working? 

 

Because it's not about the truth, it's about reinforcing the narrative to remove the threat to the status quo.

It would appear that the local and state governments along with FEMA were very well prepared for Flo. They are not out of the water yet :bag: but things are looking pretty good considering the obstacles that the Carolinas were facing.

Thank God that Obama left FEMA in a good place to handle the catastrophe.

Funny that almost all of this is information from 1950/60 on when radar and satellite tracking became huge. Methinks the data is wrong.

:lol:  Suffers from the same flaws as climate change research does - historical numbers are estimated and interpolated, not directly measured, and means and methods of measurement change with time.

Little known fact: "La-A" is an obscure but perfectly valid alternate spelling of "idiot."

It's also a perfectly racist trope that just won't seem to die.

 

Little known fact: there aren't any people on record named "La-A".
