Dorian
One of the weapons of a warming climate is changing rainfall patterns. Atmospheric changes and changes in the Jet Stream are causing more hurricanes to stall. These phenomena were seen with Hurricanes Wilma in Cozumel, Harvey in Houston, and Dorian in the Bahamas dropped feet of rain. It is the...
Trump: “If stupid people aren’t elected, next year, we’re going to have one of the greatest years that we’ve ever had.” Trump will likely flee at the first suggestion that he’s lying again. Bigger/bigly question is whether CNN, MSNBC, or CSpan will cover it live. Live blog below. Date: August...
Trump really hates it when reality gets in the way of his fantasies. When Hurricane Dorian was threatening the southeast coast, Trump mistakenly included Alabama in a tweet, and Alabama residents, who had thought they were not in its path, started to panic. NOAA Birmingham, reacting to the panic (they...
The Atlantic article by Sarada Peri assumes an event will occur that is endemic. Trump has destabilized facts and their media frames. If he’s going to cheat what was he doing before this moment, starting with when he lied about the wealth inherited from his father. Democratic primary voters care deeply...
On the eve of Trump’s State of the Union paean to himself, it may help to be reminded of all the ways in which the Guy Who Knows Everything doesn’t know much, and doesn’t care. Jennifer Rubin, in her latest (well, latest as of yesterday) swipe at the Pr*sident Sh!t-for-Brains...
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. 1560. Continued to consider putting tariffs on French products 1561. Pushed...
Columnist Greg Sargent, in his Plum Line blog at the Washington Post cites a Pro Publica piece of Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale to show that Trump’s popularity had gotten so low that the RNC is keeping the facts from down ballot candidates lest they seek to distance themselves from...
Jesus Christ. It’s like we’re being governed by a guy who’s never left Hayward, Wisconsin. Today, Donald Trump said he’s wary of people who are traveling to the U.S. from the Bahamas in the wake of Hurricane Dorian. Gee, I wonder why that would be. The Hill: “I don’t want...
The Gulf Stream, if viewed from above, is a deep dark blue stream of ocean off the Atlantic coast of Florida. It has a clockwise system of currents which transports warm water from the tropics, up the US east coast according to Wiki. It crosses the Atlantic to northwestern Europe...
As if the misery of the Bahamian people was not horrifying enough, the apocalyptic winds of Hurricane Dorian have been found to have ripped the roofs off of five storage onshore oil tanks on Grand Bahama Island. The battered island was mauled for 40 hours by the windstorms eyewall. The...
That is a direct quote from a Republican strategist as reported two hours ago by Business Insider: “He's deteriorating in plain sight,” one Republican strategist who's in frequent contact with the White House told Insider on Friday. Some of the new concern is related to Trump’s continuing insistence on saying...
< p style=”text-align:justify”>After watching almost 4 days, non-stop, of disaster coverage from the Bahamas and the southeastern shores of the United States, I took a moment to distract from the horrors. Lives were lost, property destroyed and irreparable damage to souls and psyche will live in the nightmares of the...
How ridiculous is this going to get? Will Donald Trump appoint a special task force to try to prove Alabama was in the path of Hurricane Dorian when Trump said it was? Republicans, at some point you’re just going to have to admit that Donald Trump is not mentally well and...
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. 1549. Sought to deport children with life threatening illnesses 1550. Escalated...
As the saying goes, to err is human, whereas to err; double-, triple-, and quadruple-down on the erring; and then take out a Sharpie to alter an official government weather map before denying you did so is oh-so-Trumpian. For some reason, Donald Trump’s new press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, thought it would be...
Press advocates scored an important legal victory this week when a U.S. District Court judge ordered the White House to reinstate media credentials to reporter Brian Karem, whose access had been stripped away by Donald Trump's team after a dust-up during a Rose Garden ceremony in July. There, former Trump aide...

Received this e-mail today from VoteVets in support of Dan McCready’s (D. NC-09) campaign: As you know, progressive Marine veteran Dan McCready’s special election in NC-9 is less than one week away. But it’s what we do right now that will make all the difference. As you read this, the...
Oh, those pencil-necked eggheads who study things and use science and shit instead of their gut instincts. Now they think they know more about weather and where Alabama is than the president. Yesterday, Trump (being Trump) attacked ABC News reporter Jon Karl for pointing out that Trump had freaked out...
As the slow-motion meteorological nightmare known as Hurricane Dorian approaches Florida's coast with life-threatening rain totals and historic wind speeds that are likely to leave a path of brutal devastation in its path, the media has shifted into its well-rehearsed weather disaster mode. As correspondents and reporters scour the coastline in...

My local news channel just reported that a church filled with people riding out the storm together has had storm surge up to the rafters. No word on casualties. Rumors abound that many people on Abaco are believed to have been swept out to sea. x Hurricane Dorian, one of...
Four Category 5 hurricanes have hit U.S. shores since Trump became pr*sident. He has the greatest memory ever, so I guess he wasn’t listening to his weather briefings. CNN: “We don't even know what's coming at us. All we know is it's possibly the biggest. I have — I'm not sure...
Heckuva job, Clownie. Now, we all know it doesn’t matter in the slightest where Donald Trump happens to be as he “monitors” Hurricane Dorian. (As long as it’s nowhere near the nuclear football, that is.) If it were up to me, he’d spend the rest of his unnatural life at one...
There are many models for Hurricane Dorian. From all the models, it appears this storm will hit just below Jacksonville, when it comes to Florida. It is a big Hurricane upgraded within the last few hours from a Tropical Storm to a Hurricane. Puerto Rico is bracing for the worst...

Donald Trump knows not to mess with Nancy Pelosi, and AG William Barr may soon learn the same lesson. Sure, he may look like he could star with Steve Bannon in The Picture of Dorian Gray (with Bannon starring as the putrefying picture, of course), but he works for us....
