  1. A cat 5 Trumpstink warning is in effect today in all 50 states.  Dreamers brought to this country as children are particularly vulnerable.  

    Resist, my friends.  Some days, there is no place upwind.

    1. If there is a Hell, there is a very special place waiting for these #ProsperityGospel terrorists.  

      The Cooler Heads have received more than $11 million in donations over the years from coal and oil companies. They’ve taken in tens of millions more from nonprofit foundations, such as those controlled by the wealthy Koch brothers, and the Scaife and Mercer families, according to interviews and Internal Revenue Service filings.

  2. Governor GoodHair DipShit in the news.  This argument worked out about as well for him as his abstinence-only agenda in Texas.  

    Rick Perry Wanted to Prove the Obama Administration Killed Coal. But the Facts Got in the Way

    “We got into this position because the administration violated one of the cardinal rules they teach young lawyers in law school,” said Don Furman, a former executive at the PacifiCorp electric utility and director of Fix the Grid West, a nonprofit that advocates for renewables. “Never ask a question you don’t know the answer to.”

  3. Irma destroyed one Trump property, is on target for Mar-a-Lago.

    Trump is a big fan of waterfront property, has dozens of seaside resorts and retreats, all  around the world.

    Most of them are threatened by flooding from climate change. Irma just wreaked havoc on Trump's $16 million Caribbean property, the pretentiously-named Le Chateau de Palmieres on the island of St Martin.  Irma also undoubtedly flattened homes and huts of all of the people who work on that island, as well – 95% of the buildings on the island were destroyed, according to this Washington Post article.

    So, no, I can't really join the schadenfreude around Irma threatening Mar-a-Lago – because so many other lives will be ruined or lost.

    But Mar-a-Lago, in particular, is already on Gaia's radar for climate-change-induced revenge – it is projected to be mostly flooded by 2050- along with the southern tip of Florida.

    Will it make a believer in climate change out of Trump? Or will he find a way to blame Obama? Can this possibly be laid at Hillary Clinton's door? Benghazi, anyone?

    1. I'm worried about all of the other people, too, M.J. I have friends who are headed to Northern Alabama, from South Carolina to escape Irma. But if The Yam's palace gets flattened I won't shed a tear, except, perhaps of laughter.

    2. I'm sure he'll get priority treatment from FEMA. Article in Post yesterday about a restaurant in CO  mall destroyed by hail that has continued to pay and train it's employees as it prepares to reopen. Recommended reading
