Plus I think that’s an old property, and probably built well.

Most wealthy people suffer nothing in hurricanes. You wouldn’t believe the insurance scams that follow these storms, while the poor and middle class are lucky to get a fraction of what they lost.

From FEMA as soon as the storm is gone. He took FEMA money after 9-11, even though none of his property was damaged. Not sure how he got away with that, but if there is genuine damage at Mar-a-Barfo, he will be looking for many millions.

In their point of view having the US President going to Poland and talking about spreading NATO'S missile defense shield to Poland would be like Putin going to Canada and talking about placing missiles there.

Trump, again is following Putin's instructions.

Case in point, last year as Category 5 Hurricane Michael was hitting the Florida panhandle, the Madman was holding one of his stupid rallies in Pennsylvania as the storm was hitting.

And that was the conservative part of Florida, no less!

All he cares about is himself and his toys. That’s it.

I saw a headline where Cheeto-Christ Stupid Czar has already flown out of Camp David on Marine-1 to his golf course in Virginia.

So glad that he found time away from all his constitutional responsibilities to get in a round of golf.


Meanwhile, those of us on the Atlantic coast are still bracing for high winds and the combination of storm-surge and torrential rainfall. If only this would happen in real life...

My grandmother was born in and lived in Poland, but the ship's manifest for her journey to the U.S. states she came from Russia since it was occupied territory at that time - 1912. She came through Ellis Island as a young girl and her name is on the wall there. She sent what she could back to her family in Poland her entire life, but she never saw her family again - and she lived to 82. I'm guessing she was chosen to make the journey since she was the eldest child in the family. She had a twin sister, but that child died at age 7. She had to have been awfully brave to make that trip.

Her town in Poland was under Russian occupation when she made her journey - in 1912. My grandfather also was an immigrant from Poland. He came as an 18 year old, also in 1912. When WWI began, they made him a citizen and sent him to France to fight for this country - and he was proud to do it.

Is going on behind his back, and he doesn't trust Pence. He's getting paranoid, desperate, and knows its all about to collapse on him, and he can't stop it, and if this country is attacked trump and putin are behind it. The same goes if something happens to Pence, he and putin are up to no good. I think the hurricane is just his excuse to stay here. He knows he's losing support so he'll have another plan to prevent the elections if he can, or stage an attack. He is getting closer to knowing he will be going to jail.
