Some would call this author a cockeyed optimist
I saw real embarrassment from two hard core Trumpers over the Alabama nonsense today. He’s really testing their limits with how far they’re willing to go.

Maybe this is no big deal, but on the other hand this is where the nuclear missile subs are based. Hope that safety and reliability aren’t compromised because they couldn’t do the work on their pier and maintenance facility.
By the way, each of those subs can carry up to 24 missiles, each capable of holding 12 nuclear warheads.

Dear Donald those show an 80-90% chance it won’t go to Alabama.

Can’t these GOP governors just ask Trump to deflect the hurricane out into the ocean? Cmon man, pick up a sharpie and do us a solid!
I posted the entire gigantic list because so many of these seem like pretty important stuff that’s being fucked with for governmental pocket change.
I agree entirely, I was just pointing out a particular item that I had some personal knowledge of that could potentially be a huge problem.
Why hasn’t he talked to the governor of Alabama on the phone about Dorian? Seems like he’s not doing his part to keep Alabamians safe from a storm that could totally definitely maybe hit Alabama.

Most would agree a huge amount of military spending is wasteful. But managing to turn that in to the undisputed wasteful spending is quite a feat.
You’re obsessed as fuck with nunnehi. You turned threads on Exile AIDS because of it. And frankly your posting is so bad you came off as a republican on 2p2. People asked you to knock it off and here you are doing it over again. Your word isn’t good anymore when you say “this will be the last time.”
I am not even trying to pick on you. Because there’s a good deal of people here who lack self-control including myself at times from others pushing buttons. Cuse frankly comes off as a smug dolt at times with all the doom n gloom crap. I don’t care what people say about me. I know my flaws as a human.
There’s a thread about how to attract to new people to this site. All the lame football spiking bullshit and petty trolling has to go. Except for cases like Cactus.

About 70 percent of the community — some 200 properties — would be stranded south of the barricade but north of the river. Fifteen holes of the golf course could be there, too.
An unsettling lesson in unexpected consequences has left some residents rethinking their support for the wall and the president who has made it his signature project.
“I never thought they’d go through a subdivision,” said Ms. Menard, a former Houston schoolteacher who said she had been shaken since she was notified in June of plans to build the wall next year. “My blood pressure has not been normal since I got that letter.”
…
“If there’s a good purpose for having that wall cut right through our little community, I guess I would go along with it,” said Susan Kaper, who voted for Mr. Trump and who moved from Michigan to care for her ailing sister.
…
“This is throwing an upheaval onto us,” said Jerry Olsen, who designed roads for the Missouri Department of Transportation before eventually retiring to River Bend nearly 20 years ago. He said he had seen undocumented crossings twice during his time in Texas.
He voted for Mr. Trump and might do so again, but said, “None of us at our age need the additional stress.”
…
“To determine whether I vote for this guy or not because of the wall?” Ms. Kaper said. “No, that’s silly.”
…
Ms. Menard is not sure how she will vote in 2020. She has not followed the Democratic field but is wary of the country moving too far left. She is a lot more anxious about her own backyard, where her beloved views of gorgeous South Texas sunsets seem likely to be replaced by views of Mr. Trump’s wall.
“Nobody really thinks about it until it affects them personally,” Ms. Menard said.

I’m having some minor thoughts that moving billions of dollars from the dept of defense construction budget to the wall may actually move some republican congress members to put their foot down.
Those construction projects bring a ton of money to their local constituents - they might actually start hearing from their constituents that this wall is bullshit if it costs them actual money in local construction projects.
Uh, no.
