Trump's Mar-a-Lago is in the projected path of Hurricane Dorian

https://www.tampabay.com/hurricane/2019/08/29/trumps-mar-a-lago-is-in-the-projected-path-of-hurricane-dorian/?fbclid=IwAR3aYKrjUXGDGIYximZPn-XczlsGpYefsveZrW-6Qk5fjJ_sZnA_-CQe5Mw

Hurricane Dorian is threatening to strike Florida near Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s prized South Florida resort.

The storm is projected to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Monday, with Melbourne as the most likely landing spot. That’s about 115 miles north of Palm Beach, where Trump’s ocean-front hotel is situated. Mar-a-Lago remains in the “cone of uncertainty" — the range of potential paths the hurricane could take as it strengthens in the Caribbean.

The U.S. Secret Service declined to respond to questions about any security measures taken at Mar-a-Lago during an extreme weather event and directed questions to the resort. The Trump Organization and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“It will be a very big Hurricane, perhaps one of the biggest!” Trump wrote.

the witches

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39090334

Most of Donald Trump's opponents believe they will have to wait four more years to see him leave the White House.
But America's witches are more optimistic.
At the stroke of midnight on Friday, followers of witchcraft across the US performed a mass spell designed to stop the president doing harm.

If the Rump presidency doesn't show that the office of POTUS needs to be DRASTICALLY scaled back in power, nothing does.

NO one man or woman should be able to fuck up the planet to the level he already has, and the damage he will truly inflict IF he wins reelection. It literally is as fucking insane as he is. He is almost literally an emperor atm (thanks to Moscow Mitch), the main difference being that the Rump of death has thermonuclear weapon power of a human race (and most all other major life) destroying level directly at his short little fingertips.

Dorian is on a projected horizontal path right through the state, going through Orlando (where my son lives) , and heading west to the Gulf right through my neck of the woods.

Ugh.
