im pretty sure georgia is evacuating the coast just because the state/local governments are still catching a lot of mockery for loving up the 2014 snowstorm. ever since then the governor's office has been in panic mode with regards to hazardous weather

pretty much everywhere up to wilmington's been evacuated

they'd have to be pretty goddamned dumb even for georgia to not have ordered one

Also, can y'all stop acting like this hurricane is a political topic and not a potential tragedy? People will die from it, there are bigger things at stake and focusing on the politics of it is insensitive.

While the hurricane is/will be/may be a tragedy, you are on a political message board where people talk about politics. Why not discuss it? Do you honestly believe this storm will not be politicized by both candidates? National tragedies are always politicized whether it's proper or not. Shall we bury our heads in the sand and pretend neither candidate will try to politicize this? If you want to talk about the tragedy of the storm go to GBS.

The federal government already prepared to provide immediate relief? A massive campaign of warnings and evacuations preceding the storm? A competent president who has also been pushing for infrastructure funding and severe weather preparation for nearly a decade?

Tim Kaine comparing Hillary's immigration platform to Reagan's hurt my soul.

I totally get that most (white) Americans think Reagan was some kind of Jesus figure, so statements like that are an easy way to score political points, but it still contributes to the lionization of a thoroughly detestable man. I don't fault him for it but it is depressing.

Fair point.

It still contributes to the "Reagan did good things and wasn't a terrible person" myth though. Even if in this case it was actually a good thing.

I don't really know where I was going with this.

Point is: gently caress Reagan.

This isn't a war, it's a moider.
The trail of human wreckage and hilariously horrible anecdotes that marks Trump's passage puts the Tri State Tornado to shame. I can't wait for the end of October for the Clinton camp to just dump the remaining oppo research and watch him squirm.

Having said that, there has to be some kind of medal for the poor interns who had to watch every piece of b-roll and local news Trump's ever been on. No amount of whiskey sours can soothe that pain.

Remember: after this election, "reasonable Republicans" will still be powerful garbage.

Yeah but I think that some points are earned for actually having something resembling principles beyond naked lust for power

Shame that basically every major GOP figure sold their souls to the God of Oranges at this point, even dudes who I used to like such as McCain.

If Hillary told them that she'd let them appoint a SCOTUS justice of their choice in exchange for all of their firstborns, they would, I think, make the trade by the end of the day.

At which point, of course, she appoints Obama.
