HAHA! Yeah, it's the left's fault that the Hurricane Dorian didn't hit Alabama! LOL

LOL were you "dancing the chacha like a silly girl" and couldn't understand what I wrote?... Does dancing make you blind to what people actually write?... Go dance some more "chacha" and see if it reverses and cures your ignorant blindness.

I heard they also claim that gravity is real and rain is wet!!

Ya...I am aware they believe in science and facts. I don't hold it against them.

I find them more credible than Trump and his sharpie pen.

ROFLMAO you and they believe in science my butt.... You, like them, believe in the RELIGION that is AGW.

So neither you, nor the "activist passing for scientists" are calling for the fake left-wing media to correct their lies about "hurricane Dorian..." Perhaps all of you should stfu unless you are willing to treat your side the same way you have been treating the POTUS because "you all disagree with his politics..."

So let me understand this weeks controversy.

The President of the United States, rightfully or incorrectly, included Alabama in a list of states when warning them all that they may be hit harder than expected by a hericane.

And the country loses its collective $hit over this?

Now I could understand if he forgot to mention a state and as a result someone got hurt because they where not told to be prepared. But what we are actually arguing over in this country is that a state was told to prepare when they probably didn't need too?

Man we are so F'ed as a people.

They have to use EVERYTHING against the POTUS, whether they are right or wrong, as they continue with their "impeachment charade..."

Pretty much summed my feelings up exactly.

Right down there with two scoops of ice cream.

I think its even worse than two scopes of icecream.

At least with two scopes of icecream you can say Trump is selfish, unhealthy, egoistic. But here we are literally preoccupying our collective time because the President tried to help people and might have been overly cautious.

a reply to: DanDanDat

Point well taken. Add in the fact that thanks to the never-Trump movement, warnings for the next hurricane might be delayed just in case they're later off the mark.

This could get people killed, and not because of Donald Trump or a Sharpie.

One thing for certain, that was one of the weirdest hurricanes we have ever seen.
Take a look at windy. It shows the remnants of that bastard of a storm swirling next to Iceland presently, and putting gusts on both of it's coasts at once.

You once again show a complete lack of understanding on weather forecasts.

The forecast that was issued August 27th was a 5 day forecast....the rainbow wind chart. By the 30th of August, and by most certainly on September 1st, that preliminary forecast from the 27th was invalid because much more information was available. This would be like taking a weekly forecast on Monday to make weekend plans, then totally ignoring Friday's forecast for the upcoming weekend

It is clear you are being intellectually dishonest here, or as someone else put it you are here to obfuscate and deflect

Nope, the NOAA were releasing daily updates of their 5 day forecast.
I posted 2 daily updates - 31st and 1st September that showed clearly a 10-20% chance of Hurricane Storm Force Winds hitting Alabama.

The first was published on August 31st and was a 5 day forecast from 2pm August 31st to 2pm September 5th.
The second I linked was published on September 1st and was a 5 day forecast from 8am Spet 1st to 8am Sept 6th.

You are still lying.
Even CNN have moved away from their initial lie about a 4 day old report and are now arguning that only a small portion of Alabama was included in the forecasting, which is correct, but a long way from the total lies they told to start with and which you are propogating.

From CNN:

CNN Weather meteorologists say one forecast before Trump's initial claim showed one-tenth of one county in extreme southeast Alabama was included in one model of the storm's potential path.

That is still a lie as there were two forecasts and one of them - published on 31st August, showed a larger area of Alabama in the forecast - but at least CNN have the good sense to abandon their initial BS lies.

I don't think it's so much the initial Tweet people have an issue with, but the doubling and tripling down on it just so Trump doesn't have to admit he was wrong. Instead of coming out and saying he was working off of out of date data or he didn't understand what he was being told he alters the cone of uncertainty on a map with a sharpie and has those in charge at NOAA told they will be fired if they don't publicly support his claim.

Tell me, do those seem like the actions of a "stable genius?"

Except he wasn't working off out of date data.
So why should he say he was?

Before your favorite "Stable Genius" can alter the cone of uncertainty on a map with a sharpie and have those in charge at NOAA told they will be fired if they don't publicly support his claim; he would first have had to be triggered.

What triggered him? My self righteous @ss hat fellow Americans who where criticizing him for tring to warn his citizenry of the added danger of the storm and had the audacity to add one to many states to his very valid and importan warning.

You can feel that Donald Trump is unstable all you want; its your right. And he very well might be. But their is absolutely nothing stable about a human who thinks its valuable to criticize another human for helping and getting it little wrong.

If Donald Trump is unstable he's certainly not alone. Its like Ying and Yang; one cant exist with out the other.

This weeks controversy really tore the veil off of just how depleted this country has become.

Because apparently a lot of people are vindictive. Trump has to be made to say sorry for trying to do the right thing and warning people of danger.

Looks like the Hurricane has scored a DIRECT HIT on Alabama/Florida.

Thankfully not many deaths.
