Hurricane Florence prompts evacuation of more than a million people

I'm glad we have Trump to tell us what we otherwise wouldn't have known - the hurricane is tremendously big and tremendously wet!

Really!?  Well my stars.

SOP. "Don't get caught off a lee shore when the 'canes come callin'."

So true.  I was canouing (how the heck do you spell canoing?) back from a primitive camping area in Canada once with an inept friend (I didn't know that beforehand) when a Summer squall popped up. and the waves suddenly went 2' high.  I quartered the waves to the windward side.  My friend never realized how close to dead we were. 

And just imagine if I had drowned, you would have never known me!

Apparently we need money to lock people up more than we need it to help people in disasters:


Trump administration took nearly $10 million from FEMA's budget to support ICE, documents show

"Yeah, but it wasn't from emergency funds, it was from admin funds." Okay, bullshit, that ten mill is going to hurt.

How will you feel when the Republicans reduce the Federal government until it can be strangled in the bath tub?  Or should I say, former S Democrats?  The South will rise again, so it can take revenge!  And make the North pay to protect them from Global Warming too!  Since even weather strings are political ... I think that this bad weather is all a plot of the ... dumdumdum ... Weather Underground!

I met a lot of refugees today who evacuated because of the hurricane.

I hate them.
Loud, rude, obnoxious, etc.  They choked the roads and swarmed all over the gas stations and fast food places.

I ate breakfast today at the usual place and a group of them were harassing the waitress, demanding to know where she "comes from" because of her accent (a little known country called None of Your Goddamn Business), slow and vague ordering, complaining about perfectly good food, and leaving a mess at the table.

I heard honking today.  Honking!  And not the "imminent accident" kind of honk or the light tap to let someone know the light has turned green.  Oh no.  This was the "Mr Important is stuck in traffic and feels really impatient today" kind of honk.  The kind of honk that insults true southern character - which is both gentlemanly and courteous.

I feel the urge to embrace my inner conservative and to tell these assholes to go back where they came from.  I resist only because that would make me more like them.

I have read that the hurricane is Trump’s fault.

I am surprised.

Well, at least it is not god’s punishment. For voting Trump.

Oh, it's yuge! Real yuge! Like the size of my house, at least! I bet it's carrying at least twenty gallons of water too.

It looks like ICE is getting another $29 million - this time from the Coast Guard! What's going on here? Is America about to start locking up everyone who doesn't have the correct papers!?

The Department of Homeland Security transferred $169 million from other agencies to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the detention and removal of migrants this year, according to a document sent to Congress by DHS.

Many of the transfers came from key national security programs, including $1.8 million from the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, $9.8 million from FEMA, $29 million from the U.S. Coast Guard and more than $34 million from several TSA programs. DHS also transferred $33 million from other ICE programs to pay for detention and removal, making the total amount of money transferred $202 million.

Lucky you. That's everyday for me here in North Mexico.
