I'm more amazed that he hasn't simply removed his name from the list and then released it. It's not like anyone whom his base would believe would actually tattle on him and the folks who would raise the issue wouldn't be believed. Then he'd get credit with his base for releasing the list and his presence on the list would just become another point of contention that his base would blame on the Deep State for being out to get him.

The RV Communities Wiped Out by Texas Floods​

Guadalupe River drew retirees, vacationers, traveling nurses; ’Everyone called each other buddy’​

“Two decades ago, Hurricane Rita destroyed Keith and Karel Halbert’s house in Silsbee, Texas. They moved about 300 miles west to Texas Hill country, thinking it was safer ground.

… On July 4, the Halberts awoke in the early morning hours to the local fire department ordering an evacuation as flash flooding swept through. They escaped with their dog, Chico, but once again lost their home.

Many others parked near the river didn’t get away, and an unknown number are among the more than 120 dead and 160 recently missing after the floods.

“It happened so fast,” Keith Halbert said. The fire department gave them four minutes to leave, and within “3½ minutes [the water] was in the park.”…”

“… About one to two million Americans live in RVs full-time and an additional million or so part-time, according to Andrew Rumbach, senior fellow at the Urban Institute. Of that, some 200,000 to 300,000 are in Texas, a state flush with RV parks thanks to warm weather and relatively relaxed land-use regulations.

Losing a full-time home on wheels can mean losing stability, with no land on which to rebuild, especially for more vulnerable seniors and low-income residents.

He said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and not lose any supporters. He should just release the list and admit that he raped underage girls. I doubt he'd lose many supporters. He wouldn't lose supporters in Congress or his cabinet or on this board.

As disgusting as that is, you are right, they would still worship him.

Now if a Democrat is on the list, he will probably need protection.

This has been the case since trump’s first term. The head of accuweather had a spot in his administration.

Every single private weather outfit uses government data that’s available for free. The only real difference between their forecasts and government forecasts is the modeling methods. It can depend on the day which is more accurate. These assholes want to continue using the government data we all pay for, but then charge us again to get our weather information.

I was really worried about what might happen to how we get weather information in a second trump administration. They didn’t realize their goals previously. Weather data collection, alerts, and weather research funding has for decades been one of those amazing government programs that just worked in the background with little changing between administrations. Besides giving more power to companies to gouge consumers they’ve cut off funding to places like the University of Oklahoma that do so much important weather research. Once again maga continues to make things worse so that a select few people that already have too much can have even more.

Maga is a cancer.

I’ll pay for weather round about the same time I start paying for porn
