And on Thursday in Florida, before his comments aboard Air Force One about climate change, Trump said the people of Florida experienced something "the likes of which we can say really say nobody's ever seen before."
"They've never seen a category like this come in because it came in really at a five," he said.
He is obviously talking about being a cat5 all the way to landfall.
Kind of kills the buzz of when he actually does say stupid shit.
This is still stupid shit.
Can't he just say something plainly? What should be a simple sentence needs translation.
They've never seen a category like this come in because it came in really at a five.
This kind of word salad is typical of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.
It's also bullshit because Irma was a Cat 4 when it hit the keys, and a cat 3 when it hit again in SW Florida.
The historical nature of Irma's impact on Florida isn't that it was this monster, powerful storm. It's that the storm was massive and delivered hurricane force winds over nearly the entire state. Normally you have some portion of the state that is safe, but in this case there was nowhere to go.
Who knew evacuating an entire state would be so difficult?

Trump is on twitter demanding that ESPN apologize. It's fine for him to call Obama racist for years but if some unknown sports reporter tweets out something on her personal account? Time for going scorched earth on ESPN.

(CNN)For weeks, ethics watchdog groups had a countdown clock on Twitter promising the public its first glimpse at who has been visiting President Donald Trump's "Winter White House" at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.
Instead, on Friday the Trump administration turned over a list of only 22 names of foreign dignitaries and staffers related to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's February trip to the Florida resort.
The Trump administration announced in April that it would no longer publicly release White House visitor logs, citing "grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually."
British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday it was not helpful for anyone to speculate on investigations after U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that the culprits behind a train bombing had been “in the sights” of the police.
Soon after 22 people were injured in the attack on a busy underground train in west London, Trump tweeted: “Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!”
His comments appeared to point the finger at British police. Asked whether Trump knew something Britain did not, May said: “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation”.
Others chimed in, with one of May’s former chief of staffs, Nick Timothy, saying Trump’s comment was “so unhelpful from leader of our ally and intelligence partner”.
When darkness veils the world, four Warriors of Light shall come.
Good grief this is embarrassing. The sad fact is that this isn't nearly as bad as other things he has done this week - like again affirm white supremacists or not know super basic grade school facts about common disasters that strike the nation he is leading.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday it was not helpful for anyone to speculate on investigations after U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that the culprits behind a train bombing had been “in the sights” of the police.
May's first mistake is in assuming it was supposed to be helpful.
In all honesty, the leadership group does need to take the upper hand and treat this untrained puppy as exactly that. To borrow a line: what do you have to lose?
Unless, of course, they are so dysfunctional that there personal agendas get in the way of saving the country and world from this exceptionally ill-equipped, petulant fool.
Or maybe, like Ebenezer Scrooge, he's seen how the story ends and is now trying to make amends before the inevitable happens and judgement is rendered.
The juggalos gathered outside the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday to protest the FBI’s classification of their group as a "loosely organised hybrid gang”.
According to the National Park Service, some 3,000 people were expected to attend the rally on Saturday – almost double the size of the MOAR.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission came under fire earlier this month when a lawsuit and media reports revealed that the commissioners were using private emails to conduct public business. Commission co-chair Kris Kobach confirmed this week that most of them continue to do so.
Experts say the commission’s email practices do not appear to comport with federal law. “The statute here is clear,” said Jason R. Baron, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle and former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration.
Essentially, Baron said, the commissioners have three options: 1. They can use a government email address; 2. They can use a private email address but copy every message to a government account; or 3. They can use a private email address and forward each message to a government account within 20 days. According to Baron, those are the requirements of the Presidential Records Act of 1978, which the commission must comply with under its charter.
“All written communications between or among its members involving commission business are permanent records destined to be preserved at the National Archives,” said Baron. “Without specific guidance, commission members may not realize that their email communications about commission business constitute White House records.”
ProPublica reviewed dozens of emails to and from members of the commission as well as written directives on records retention. The commissioners appear to have been given no instructions to use government email or copy or forward messages to a government account.
Commissioner Matthew Dunlap, the secretary of state for Maine, confirmed that he’d received no such directives. “That’s news to me,” he said, when read the PRA provision governing emails. “I think it would be a little cleaner if I had a us.gov email account.”

It's funny how he confuses legality with political correctness. And by funny, I mean really goddamn infuriating.

What's fucked-up is how normalized his idiocy and aggression have become in such a short time. We roll our eyes or hardly notice when the President of the United States demonstrates angry immaturity three days out of five.

It's amazing how much shitty behavior (and ignoring of the constitution) you can justify if you just say you're fighting social justice warriors. Gamersgate was a glimpse into this behaviour. It was ugly then. Now it's toying with the idea that the constitution is in the way. Now it's dangerous.

Funny, I haven't heard anyone suggesting the constitution is in the way.
Either way if it is in the way of something then good for it, that is why it is there. In the end nothing has violated it until the SCOTUS says it has.

Of course you haven't. You get all your news from Breitbart.
But now that Bannon is on the warpath after getting dumped by his former BFF, you're going to have to find a new sycophant rag from which to get your world view and copy and paste links.
Might I suggest Fox and Friends? They've towed the line so far, so they can give you what you want.
Apparently there was at least one aspect of Trump's inauguration that was truly yuge:
President Donald Trump's inaugural committee raised an unprecedented $107 million for a ceremony that officials promised would be "workmanlike," and the committee pledged to give leftover funds to charity. Nearly eight months later, the group has helped pay for redecorating at the White House and the vice president's residence in Washington.
But nothing has yet gone to charity.
What is left from the massive fundraising is a mystery, clouded by messy and, at times, budget-busting management of a private fund that requires little public disclosure. The Associated Press spoke with eight people — vendors, donors and Trump associates — involved in planning and political fundraising for the celebration, an event that provides an early look at the new president's management style and priorities. The people described a chaotic process marked by last-minute decisions, staffing turnover and little financial oversight.
