The unfettered stupidity of Repulicans never ceases to amaze me.
North Carolina didn't like science on sea levels … so passed a law against it

In 2012, the state whose low-lying coast lies in the path of Hurricane Florence reacted to a prediction of catastrophically rising seas by banning policies based on such forecasts

Trump says the Maria death toll was made up by Democrats. Now what's that about someone being deranged again...?

With all due respect to "The Guardian," let's get the citation for the statute and look up exactly what it says. Would anyone like to place a wager on whether this is getting reported accurately? I don't know, as I haven't looked it up. I'm just going by what the usual accuracy journalists have when reporting legal issues.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

It's the Pig Shit Apocalypse!

https://www.inquisitr.com/5070014/hurri ... pig-farms/
As Quartz reports, pigs are a big deal in North Carolina. The state has over 2,000 pig farms and 9 million pigs which produce about 10 billion pounds of waste per year. According to Quartz, the waste storage lagoons are roughly the size of football fields.
All the rain is going to flood the pig farms and the liquid waste (a mix of piss, shit, and blood) that is stored in outdoor "lagoons" will flood the area. A veritable tsunami of pig waste. Dad always did say life was shit.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Sometimes you eat the pig, sometimes the pig eats you. Either way it all ends in shit.
