iirc, NWS precipitation scales still indicate precipitation per square meter, despite the imperial units for amount, so that's a literal ton, as in one thousand kilos of water per square meter, during the most intense couple of days. Like, swimming pool amounts of water.

I genuinely hope that the difference in models is an indication of lack of accuracy, and there's still some hope for a milder outcome.

/edit: ^^^^^ that unfortunately confirms the models from the last two days, so it doesn't look like they're too far off with their estimates. Welp

Mr. Nice! posted:

His cabinet won't use the 25th because they basically have control of him and are using him as a tool to pass horrific legislation. For example, after giving the wealthiest $1.5 trillion last year (of which next to nothing went back to actual workers and instead almost entirely went to shareholders and executives), the GOP is set to pass another set of tax cuts costing another $2T over 10 years.

oh yeah i am fully aware that they've abandoned all pretence of giving a poo poo about anything but enriching themselves at the expense of the country

it's just incredible to me how goddamn naked it is and if even one of these fucks had the slightest hint of a conscience they'd be doing all they could to stop the devastation of the country

U.S. Plans to Pay Mexico to Deport Unauthorized Immigrants There

WASHINGTON — President Trump has promised for years that Mexico would pay for a vast border wall, a demand that country has steadfastly refused. Now, in the Trump administration’s campaign to stop illegal immigration, the United States plans instead to pay Mexico.

In a recent notice sent to Congress, the administration said it intended to take $20 million in foreign assistance funds and use it to help Mexico pay plane and bus fare to deport as many as 17,000 people who are in that country illegally.

your country will go to any lengths to avoid spending one cent on helping people

it's loving mind boggling

Not really? There are some vocal conspiracy theorists and other terrible posters, but a lot of those types wander in, shove foot in mouth, and catch a probation or derision.

A lot of the worst offenders have been culled by wandering out of the fairly safe TFR area to post insane poo poo elsewhere on the forums and caught a ban or got mad enough to stop posting.

Now that the politics thread is banished from TFR you’ll sometimes see absurd leaking of political angst into other threads such as dudes posting incredibly hosed up opinions about how SJWs and women and minorities are ruining their TV shows and turning kids into trans weaklings or something.

That said, pretty sure sky shark can’t really get away with his bullshit anywhere but TFR so now the forum bears that cross alone instead of him spreading his bullshit in GiP and D&D to lessen the burden on TFR.

Sky shark should try posting in here, with the change in moderators he might be more welcome now

I think it's always refreshing to hear how our friends across the pond are trying their hardest to beat Trump in the sport of terrible governance.

So, for those who haven't been following, the UK and EU have reached no Brexit deal so far, and there's basically no chance of one any time soon. In addition to losing the ability to drive in the EU without an international permit, it looks like home values in the UK will also decline by a third.
