They got some amazing images from space.

Although, they had to add fake curvature to them to maintain the hoax that the earth isn't flat.

The slimeballs are crawling out from under their rocks. 5 looters arrested so far.

Looting a Dollar Store. Jesus. If you're going to loot something, loot something worthwhile. Shoot to kill, that's my advice.

Meanwhile, in the path of typhoon Mangkhut



49 dead so far between the Philippines and Hong Kong. Most of the casualties in the Philippines through mud slides.

When will North Carolina and South Carolina wake up and create sufficient polders so that flooding won't happen anymore?

The news channel doubled down on it, saying that the weather reporter was very tired, and trying to maintain purchase on grass while the pedestrians were walking on pavement.

They were being advised by Arcadis, a Dutch engineering company but refused to listen according to the project engineer on Dutch television. Everything was too expensive. How much is this flooding going to cost then?

Who was "they" that refused to listen? What did the Dutch engineering company propose, specifically?

State of North Carolina? FEMA? Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce?

How could it be too expensive, anyway? I mean, why not do the same thing the Dutch did to their 1,914 km of coastline to the U.S's 133,312 km? I blame Republicans. If they'd just Tax the Rich we could all be living the good life, safe behind our dikes.

I don't know, but it's a rather pertinent fact.
