Well if he thinks that was a monumental success, Carolina’s doomed.

Hurricane Florence could cost the East Coast more than $170 billion and damage nearly 759,000 homes and businesses, according to analytics firm CoreLogic. That would make Florence the costliest storm ever to hit the U.S. in terms of property loss.

In the worst-case scenario, Florence could become the harshest hurricane to hit the country in terms of financial pain. The costliest to date was Katrina in 2005, which breached the levees surrounding New Orleans and caused an estimated $161 billion in losses, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

CoreLogic based its estimates on the cost of reconstruction once the storm is over. But the firm warns that Tropical Storm Isaac, which formed in the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday, is right behind Florence.

I've just watched a two minute video of a women playing golf, with other women's butt holes as the holes.

We're the women being used as holes buried into the ground with just their bum showing? How did they get permission to destroy courses like that?
Getting 18 women to volunteer to be buried alive to become golf holes must have been quite a tough search.

If you just type golf porn in to google images it should appear. I'm not going to go into detail.

I think I'll pass and just assume it's a picture of of a lady golfer getting a bit frisky.

Back to US politics now .

I can see the next 2 years being political gridlock if the Republicans lose a lot of power and the Dems try and enact stuff which Trump will block just because he can. I hope the public see the Republicans for the bunch of twats they are when they refuse to enact even simple changes they only oppose because the Dems are suggesting them and reject them even more at the next general election.

The U.S. deficit grew by $222 billion from this time last year — reaching a total of $895 billion, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Why it matters: This increase was due mostly to the new Republican tax law and Congress' routine decision to increase spending, which grew by 7% compared to revenue growth of only 1%. The CBO now says the deficit will approach $1 trillion by the end of this fiscal year, but in April the agency didn’t expect the deficit to reach $1 trillion until 2020.

Another great quote for the ages today from Trump, this one for the hurricane.

"It is tremendously big, tremendously wet. Tremendous amounts of water."

Yep, Trump is doing wonders for the US economy.

It's amazing that the Republican party of just 5 years ago would have been going strawberry floating bonkers about the deficit reaching $1 Trillion but now they don't give even a single strawberry float.
The days of the party being the party of fiscal responsibility are over and all they care about now is the rich and how they can give them more money and hope like hell that the 99% of the US population who aren't rich believe in trickle down economics.

The sad part is I think many Americans honestly think trickle down does work even when all the evidence (and they fact the middle class in the US is now is tiny compared to the 60/70's) show that's complete crap. This idea they have that the ultra wealthy will be demotivated and just more elsewhere or stop working if they're forced to pay a reasonable tax rate is just daft and countries like Holland where the rich pay way more tax and still somehow manage to want to work shows that but US conservatives are unreachable and just claim any tax rise or social policy is communist and shut down discussion from there.

Isn't that similar to what Frank Underwood did in House of Cards? I remember there was a big hurricane on its way and he blew the FEMA money on some other vanity project of his, and he got away with it because the storm didn't make landfall.

Trump is basically using House of Cards as his guidebook for the Presidency.

Hope the people of the Carolinas have good house insurance. You look at how many of their homes are built in that region, particularly in the sub $100,000 category, this thing is going to wipe them out if it hits as strong as it's currently projected - though these hurricanes do have a tendency to weaken.

You have to ask how long these outer banks and coastal areas are going to be habitable. Parts of Florida as well are gradually sinking.

Doesnt help that a ton of American houses are made from wood rather than brick.

It makes sense, Kevin Spacey used Trump as a guidebook for his sex life so why wouldn't Trump use Spacey's Presidency as a guide?

There's this programme on Home that's basically the American version of DIY SOS and they're usually in the South - it's all wood. Deceptively big, because a large portion of the house is taken up by a garage and they're 9 times out of 10 the equivalent of a bungalow. You can't get to higher ground because there isn't any (aside from the roof itself). And then of course they're either surrounded by trees, lakes or the ocean.

This hurricane needs to drop to a 3 otherwise they're in so much trouble. If it were to stay as it is, it would be the worst disaster to hit those states in over 60 years.

It also doesn't help that the US doesn't have a great track record with helping rebuild shattered communities.

I was listening to a podcast about a community of Black people in the US that the US government basically allowed to be destroyed by flood water and then refused to rebuild.

It’s their fault for being poor. If they worked hard then they could be President!
