I decided to make one of my regular checks on Fox News to see what's going on over there. It's exactly what you'd expect. Lots of coverage about the hurricane, the pardon of Sheriff Dumbass, how awful all other media aside from Breitbart is, the war on ISIS, and how awful Democrats are.
If you're expecting to see a single article about how Trump wants the American taxpayer to cover the bill for building the border wall instead of Mexico, you'd be out of luck. The subject is nowhere to be found on either their website or their YouTube channel. It's no wonder Fox News viewers are less informed than people who watch Stephen Colbert.

Harvey is now a Category 4. Can't wait to see how Trump fucks this up. The bar is Bush in 2005. Fortunately for Trump, Huston isn't at the mercy of a set of levies.

Irma will be here in 5 days. Whether or not it makes landfall remains to be seen. Nonetheless, everyone from Florida to New England should brace themselves for shit weather. Even if there's no direct impact, we're still gonna get the side effects.

Trump is getting rid of DACA. It's the law that grants work permits for undocumented immigrants that arrived in this country as children.

Yeah, watching Irma. Puerto Rico is gonna take another hit to their floundering economy, and Hati, the other half of the island Hispaniola is on, is still devastated from that quake years ago, and a cholera outbreak last year.
How screwed is Texas? They have an extreme lack of regulations in industry, not to mention laxed zoning laws. Before this happened the public was able to get a schedule of everything any plant was working on and the materials used.
I think that happened about 4 years ago. In any case, the Texas legislature responded to this event by cancelling the public's right to have the schedule that lists what any plant is working on. That's it. No revision of zoning, no added or changed safety regulations. By the way, about 14 people were killed in that explosion, and it destroyed two schools and a retirement home.
They can still put a plant in any location near the population, and they are not required to tell anyone what dangerous substances are there. Corporate greed and politics is a dangerous thing. Now with this new plant that has chemicals that will burst into flames or exp!ode when they become too warm, they're in the same dangerous situation. There is the possibility of environmental contamination and toxic fumes, but they still don't have to say what else is there, and this was also in a populated area.
In addition to this, there's is another industrial plant of some sort 2 miles from this one also in the flood zone. On top of that, there are probably three toxic waste dumps that were bad enough to be listed on the Super Fund as sites to be cleaned up at some point. Unfortunately, the cleanup effort has slowed in recent years, and who knows what toxic elements are being spread around by the flooding waters.
Oh, there was a plan to set a safety regulation on places like that one that is now on fire, but they lobbied and convinced the Trump administration to cancel that effort. With the administration cutting down departments like the EPA and FEMA, as well as HUD programs, the response to events like this are also less effective. =========
Trump is famously impulse tweeting and just spewing ideas without thinking through the consequences. Repealing DACA will hurt our economy because, in spite of Trumpanzee assertion, dreamers contribute more than they take from the public coffers. They pay taxes, buy cars and houses, own and operate businesses, and are apt to be more productive than many people who were born here. Also, we need immigrant workers. Farmers depend upon their labor because most Americans don't want to pick fruit and stuff like that. And we need immigrant workers simply to replace workers in our aging society. More people!e are retiring as baby boomers age. That leaves a void in our workforce.
Ending trade with countries that do business with North Korea. Bad idea. The loss of trade with China would devastate our economy, as we do a great deal of business with them.
Government shutdown if Congress doesn't pay for his stupid wall. That hurts the public...us. It certainty doesn't punish Congress. They would not be responsible for the shutdown -Trump would. Attaching anything to the Flooding relief fund, especially the wall. Bad because the relief doesn't need to be held hostage like that. Texas and Louisiana need help now, and to the tune of tens of billions (another reason to not waste tens of billions on a stupid wall the majority of the public doesn't even want).
Trump is also worrying people from other countries with his fire and fury statements. Japan and South Korea are quite nervous and questioning what we really mean to do, when the President says one thing but others are saying something different.
=======
Trump and his cronies are in deep kimchi now! Independent Council Mueller has enlisted the Criminal Investigative Branch of the IRS. Those people are very good at what they do, and they are well paid for doing it ($150,000 salary I think). If there are any unusual banking transactions they will find them, if there are any unusual items on tax returns and schedules they will find them, and if there is money laundering anywhere they will find it.
They find and recover a ton of money owed or mismanaged each and every year.
Bazinga!

Going from Obama to Trump is like switching from an iPhone to two cans connected by a string

If the worst possible outcome is realised from this entire shit storm (i.e. just me alone perishing while the world stumbles on), promise they'll blast out this at my 3-person strong wake (4 max - Skype visitors don't count). Mainly because I was there, but also in the off chance that, mid-funeral, the world actually ends and this doubles up as a soundtrack... Neverending Dracula sincerest apologies that it ain't hip-hop or an OST. I'll be dead so please don't hold a grudge.

I am deeply uncomfortable with rhetoric painting people as Nazi's.
Those Charlottesville guys? Yes. No question.
These other "free speech" demonstrations around the country? Whoo boy.
I don't agree with most of, if any, of those groups. But Godwin's law guys. Come on.
This crap is gonna lead to a GOP victory in 2020.
Protest policies from the president, protest the party, etc., this "everyone's a Nazi" garbage just makes us look foolish.

ANTIFA is just as bad as the rebranded Nazis, KKK, or. Whoever else is on the new altright.
It is an anarchistic group, anti-government and anti-capitalist.
Extremism on either end of the scale, or in the middle for that matter, is bad.
If you thought this was a lot of protesting this year so far, you should have seen the 60's. This has been mild compared to the Nixon years
========
There's another tropical storm out there bedsides Jose too. In the gulf region again I think.
Yeah Puerto Rico, Haiti, Cuba, the Keys are all gonna get it bad because that sucker is huge.
=====
Kim Jong Un has just threatened us with an EMP attack. That's a hydrogen bomb set off at 250-300 miles above the USA in order to knock out the electrical grid.
Never mind the fallout that will get millions slowly. There will be no lights, no flushing toilets, no water in houses, no refrigeration (spoiled food, spoiled medicines). Elevators will stop, vehicles will stop, life support systems in hospitals will stop. Public transportation will stop all computers will be useless bricks.
Imagine 8,000 humongous lawn darts dropping out of the sky - commercial airplanes will have no power. No controls because when the pilot turns the yolk to steer with the rudders and flaps he isn't controlling the rudders and flaps, he's sending a command to a computer that does it.
That's just a nasty attack lol

We can just keep it at bad, not just as bad.
But that's not my real point. If we're really devolving into calling everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, Commie, whatever, we've already lost any chance of anything getting better.
While the views of many in the alt-right are reprehensible, they're not all fascists or Nazi's or whatever. It's dishonest to say so and is only going to lead to more electoral losses.

Hilary should just stay out. She won't win, she's damaged goods. Right now she's got that book out blaming everyone but herself for her loss. =#==$$€
Yeah protesting is fine but it has to be peaceful assembly. What is wrong is all the violence and spewing hate.

To think that being branded "anti-fascist" could ever hold negative connotations... what the sweet holy fuck, man.
