Hurricane Irma is cutting a wide swath of destruction in the Carribean, en route to Florida. Meanwhile, Equifax doxxes 44% of all Americans, a racist Twitter lady waxes poetic about white guy spooge, and wolves are fucking huge, man.
I combined the images of Hurricane Andrew (1992) & Hurricane Irma (today) at scale in a gif. Irma is a damn leviathan. pic.twitter.com/4HEw1NNxxd

But, hey, maybe Trump will be able to profit from the hurricane. He’s done it before:

Pruitt: “Now is not the time to talk about climate change.”
Asshole.
After the Princess of Wales crash some people said a ‘wear your searbelt’ campaign should be suspended because it was ‘insensitive’.
You mean to say I have destroyed white civilization three times in the last 24 hours?
If that dept of justice memo is true, it sounds like this is a test case for disassembling rape shield laws nationwide. Ladies, gentlemen and non-binary gentlefolk, welcome to hell.
The wolf tweet reminds me of the first time i ever saw a seagull. I originally imagined them to be the size of a pigeon
Well, I’m certainly shocked that Limbaugh is a hypocrite.
@ Alan
I’m resisting the urge to make a “clunk click every trip” reference here.
Fox’s latest platinum idiot has a few skeletons in her closet.

@PeeVee
It’s the same with Gun Control. If you try to discuss it when nothing major has happened you’re alarmist, and if you try to discuss it after a mass shooting you’re exploiting a tragedy. Literally there is no time that is acceptable to discuss the thing in question.
God’s judgement for taking her name in vain.
You are single-handedly bringing about the extinction of the Aryan race!
I’ll see myself out.
Try a few of these for size:

Tomi Lahren, skeletons in her closet? She’s got’em in the front yard on spikes, I thought?
My parents and my brother’s family dodged a hurricane sized bullet in Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico ( respectively, although it brushed and devastated some small towns by the North Bay in DR). The local markets made a killing though
Did… did Alex Jones say “goblin force”?
I’m actually waiting for the Mormons to excommunicate that Purposeful Wife d-bag.
In the meantime, I’ll just be happy for all of those white [cis] men who now have an easy and fun way to take the fight against white supremacy into their own hands.
@schnookums, peevee
Maybe part of the reason they won’t want to have a discussion is because they know they can’t pull their “if the globe is warming, how come it’s raining? Check mate environMENTALists” Trump card. Evidence with this kind of situation is so overwhelming they couldn’t just deflect it as usual.
@moggie
This is making me wonder if Alex Jones is just mentally stuck in a cyberpunk D&D session and not just finger-twirling-around-ear delusionally hateful (i know it’s against policy too call people “crazy” in a mental illness way, but Alex) Jones really makes a hard argument for the idea that he doesn’t have a very tangible grasp on reality)
*gentle-sobbing* Well me and the Pigeon family is riding out the storm. We live far enough from the coast and our house toughed out Andrew and it’s also near impossible to get out now. Still we have supplies and preps and the doggos ready so as soon as we get the power back will post about my safety but most certainly wouldn’t mind thoughts and prayers at this point. This storm is downright spooky.
@Sinister Pigeon
I do hope you and the family stay safe. Please do check in so we know you’re okay.
My heart goes out to all the mammotheers who are in the path. It might head my way, but I’m in central Alabama, so I’m not as worried for myself as I am about people on the coast and panhandle. Stay safe my dears.
Stay safe Mammotheers in the path of Irma.
If everyone is lucky, maybe the storm will just swerve again and dissipate in the Atlantic.
@Moggie Now I’m waiting for Cernovich to describe Hurricane Jose as having ‘Goblin force winds’. 😛

Oh, boy, here I go destroying the white race again!
