this 2016 case was allegedly dropped by the plaintiff because she allegedly received death threats

and now this is president. and his doj just declared a nothing to see here on the epsein files.

:inter:
It was clear since the beginning this was only a political football to stir up the crazies, and the main client was always Donald Trump. After all, he was riding Epstein’s jet last year. You can’t make up the stupidity.

There is definitely a problem when it comes to the general public taking warnings seriously. Flash Flood warnings are rather common compared to other types of weather events, but they don't get the attention they probably deserve, unlike tornados. And to be honest, much of the public has a disdain for meteorologists because of the perception they aren't accurate, which isn't really true, or because they've been brainwashed to think the NWS is just wasteful spending. So as much as I want to care about people, I can't bring myself to do so when there is so much willful ignorance out there.

In the case of the Texas floods, the NWS issued flash flood warnings and flash flood emergencies before the storms hit. The main issue is that the storms happened between 1 and 4am when everyone was asleep. Apparently, Camp Mystic has a "no phones" policy as they are a Christian summer camp, so presumably nobody received the flash flood emergency push notifications which did get pushed. From a mesoscale perspective, this was basically a perfect situation where the remnants of a tropical cyclone drove enough moisture into a stalled out front over Texas, which allowed the storms to train over the same area, squeezing out incredible amounts of moisture, 10+ inches in a few hours.

There's no doubt in my mind that these sort of events are becoming more common, probably for a few reasons.
Very useful thank you.

The bolded part is probably going to lead to prosecution if that is the case. Or at least it would over here. You cannot organise a summer camp for children and make yourself unable to receive warnings. Especially because as an organisation, you should know you're in flooding territory. That is insanely negligent behaviour and the people responsible belong in prison.

Very true, and it's not like that area hasn't flooded before. It's a known low-lying flood prone area enhanced by hills and most recently drought. Why build a camp in this area? And judging by the videos of the girls singing on the bus after being evacuated, it seems more like a cult than a summer camp. It should be investigated.

within half a minute

and his weak ass will never fire that incompetent drunkard hegseth :touched:



people stopped calling him out on how tariffs work, right? probably the only thing he does right: he lies so much that people get tired of it. also, the chinese takeover should worry people much more. protectionism should start with the land (and he's planning the privatization of federal properties lol)

exactly, cringe af. he knows grift though




this screams insider trading. i bet it pays better than those shitty chinese watches and perfums. will he openly brag about it like he did after liberation day lol
It's a great way to destroy confidence in the market as well, because someone lost big on those futures trades. All this shit does is make the rest of the world de-dollarize faster, all for the personal gain of a few rogue people in the US government. As a free market person, I consider this insider trading and tariff nonsense financial terrorism, actively destroying confidence in the US dollar. These are like the highest crimes you could commit because it impacts all of us here. It's even worse than flying planes into buildings. They should be given a fair trial and hanged.

So can someone create a passive ETF that tracks all the assets of congresspeople and senators and then pulls GameStop shorts on them en mass when they start making large moves like this?

Ideal if they're margin traders.

I'm surprised that this administration hasn’t declared smoking cigarettes to be good for health.
Retarded ass administration.

And it's so obvious that this only harms us in the long run too. That's what the republican party is about these days, do whatever works in the short term and who cares about the future?

For a second there, I thought you were talking about JJ management.
