It's even spread to the schools. Some kid called me centrist scum when I told him to read the syllabus.
Also, how is "Moderate Darling" not on that list of running gags?

Mother Nature's Super Bar is full.
Also, come on, never heard of a Category Five? And he spends a lot of time in Florida?
You don't have to lie about the meaningless shit!
In a weird way, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump weren't lying here.
The man is devoid of any sort of intellectual curiousity. I wouldn't be surprised if, until now, he only viewed hurricanes as "big windy things I go to Trump Tower now."
Trump spends all oh his time in Florida and don't know what a CAT 5 is?
also, like, a category 5 hurricane destroyed puerto rico literally two years ago
I mean, WHICH one?
Brock, Fork, Melkr (I assume now because I don't read his posts), lm-whatever? There's a few.

Trump has been saying since 2017 that he doesn't know if he's heard of a Category 5 hurricane, even as he's heard of additional Category 5 hurricanes. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1168206303946256385 …

We toss around a lot of hyperbole in these parts but he's without a single doubt the dumbest of all the 45 presidents. Had Bush Sr. croaked while in office and Dan "can't spell potato" Quayle had become president, Trump would still be the dumbest.
Hasn't Abbott personally weakened the gun control laws in Texas? Blood meet hands.
"I have been to too many of these events...to many Republican lawmakers offering vague sentiments about gun control, then doing nothing"
Typical Republican governing these days. Bitch about something but have no real plan to fix anything.
Why even label gun rights as a "God-given" right? I admit I haven't read it cover to cover, but I'd hazard a guess that guns show up in The Bible a total of zero times.
"God-given" has become a white supremacist dog-whistle in certain groups. And maintaining free access to guns has become a white supremacist pillar, because Lord knows this same energy isn't kept when it comes to minorities legally owning guns.
Trump is by far the dumbest. Harding is a distant second. Third is interesting. Probably Reagan, but I can be swayed here.
Doesn't really matter what Abbott says. Republicans are generally not very flexible when comes to dealing with social issues like mass shooting and circumstances surrounding it. The gun culture and lobbyists are just too strong within the party.
He's framing "I aint signing shit, I just got done simpering and fawning to the listing hulk remnants of the NRA two weeks ago over El Paso and Dayton" so Toomey up there gets the message.
"Difficulty" is in play here.
Jade Helm aint doing shit and spinning. But he's also dumb so it's red meat for anyone willing to do this.
WaPo: Some secrets do keep. A year later, the Trump official who penned an explosive op-ed is still unknown.
To date, only five people know — or are known to know — the identity of the author. They are Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger; editorial page editor James Bennet; op-ed editor James Dao; the "intermediary;" and the author him/herself. (The list of those who presumably don't know includes the journalists in the Times's newsroom, among whom are some of the finest investigative reporters in the world.)
It is possible that someone inside the administration knows, too, thanks to a clue the author dropped in the op-ed. The writer quoted "a top official" who complained to him or her about a meeting in the Oval Office in which Trump changed his mind about "a major policy decision." The author quoted this official as saying, "There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next."
Bennet and Dao declined requests for an interview for this story. In a statement, however, Bennet wrote: "As we said a year ago, this op-ed offered a significant first-person perspective that had not yet been presented to Times readers, describing the efforts made by some inside to carry out policies they believed in while containing what they saw as the president's troubling impulses. The substance of that piece has been born out by reporting at The Times and elsewhere over the past year."
Journalists protect sources regularly, but Anonymous isn't just any old source. In the few instances in which there was public curiosity about an anonymous source or writer, the person's identity eventually became known.
Yes, the Bahamas are seriously fucked. (185 mph last advisory, which is about as strong as they get)
They are forecasting 15 to 20 feet storm surge last I heard, and parts will be in Cat 4 conditions for 24 hours.
Florida east coast should not count this storm out yet, and still have a plan in place.
Slow moving storms are more unpredictable. Cat 5 slow moving storms, even more so.
I wouldn't be surprised if Dorian affects e-day turnout for the NC specials if the storm moves up the coast in CAT 2.
What article did Maggie link to? Was it in the post or the times? Did she write it?
This post prompted me to listen to the NIN song God Given a few times this AM. That album ended up being disturbingly prescient for a dystopian concept album.
Third-party groups apparently feeling confident about KY-GOV.
Beshear's campaign also has plenty of money.
Considering how long Closer has been on my dance/workout playlist, I"m surprised I haven't made this connection before....
No, it's not her work. I think she doesn't like bicyclists tho.
Sort of off topic, but this thread is pretty hilarious
It was a Post article about 7 people dying in 9 years from bikers. I imagine one cut her off today.

My mind first read the chyron as "Officials give up on Texas deadly shooting"
From KY Senate majority leader
GOP seriously doesn't know what they're walking into
honestly i am living for all the also rans pitching a fit about the primary being rigged because they don't meet the requirements for the debates. like they aren't even complaining about ballot access, they're whining that they won't get to have a minute and a half of coherent talk time during a two hour debate, even after the lying crooked dnc as like "ok fine the october requirements will be the same as the september ones, so you can still make the cut for october if you miss out on september"
If it does, it would be early Tuesday.
The speed of the storm over the next 24 hours should help exclude FL out of the equation.
