Come on, we know how this movie is going to play out: (perhaps not in this exact order) --Tropical Storm/Hurricane is going to gently caress poo poo up --Trump botches the response --Blames everyone but himself, including but not limited to: Democrats, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, fake news media --Gives a tame teleprompter speech in which he says mostly the right things but then completely negates it by being a complete lunatic at another speech --His base still supports him.

SirPablo posted:NOAA can run just fine without a head, honestly. It, really the NWS, routinely handles weather events every day. Reminder, weather.gov is great and you should use it. edit: wunderground is also good. I'm sure goons have some other good weather sites/apps, post your favorite/recommendations. Don't use weather.com, because they do clickbait,/name all big storm bullshit. Don't use accueweather because it's owned by a libertarian poo poo that wants to make an entire licensing and accreditation system for things like thermometers.

I don't know anything about that site or its owners. Although isn't that "Name the big winter storm" thing an idea of the National Weather Service to make people think of them like hurricanes and take them more seriously?

achillesforever6 posted:As a Catholic it amazes me how much of its problems could be solved with common sense/decency and that making said changes wouldn't cause the collapse or destroy the institution. Like what's so hard with allowing priests to marry, don't hide/protect the pedophile priests, focus on poverty not abortion, and not being poo poo against LGBT people? Catholics came out of the Great Depression /overwhelmingly/ Dem. Kennedy was in part a result of this. Notre Dame (on back channels) backed the Kennedy run, and spent their time fighting the myth that a catholic president would accept orders from the papacy. Then, in 1980, Notre Dame lined up behind The Gipper - actor Ronald Reagan of 'Knute Rockne American Hero' fame. The catholics and the GOP conspired, established their 'pro-family' nonsense (just say no to drugs, abortion is murder, etc). The effort worked. Catholics are now split between die-hard dems - and one-issue Knights of Columbus-style voters.

Quick note that wunderground was bought by The Weather Channel, which in turn was bought by IBM. Jeff Masters, WU founder and hurricane expert, is still around but is kind of fading in prominence.

I'm hearing people say that trump signed some saudi arabian arms deal really recently? I thought the 'arms deal' he signed with saudi arabia was largely informal commitments to consider arms deals that they tallied up arbitrarily to give trump a win?

Hi trump thread is it normal for a sitting US president to keep having campaign trail rallies like trump is doing or is it another symptom of him being unhinged from reality and wanting to live in a bubble where everyone thinks he's a cool dude? I've never paid attention before so I don't know.
