yes, he is a conservative ass...

Yes, he should keep his yap shut.

But he was polite to me at the poker table.

I am actually sorry he lost his home. Like thousands and 10s of thousands that may have lost their homes.

Trump’s and Bannon’s promise of “All Hell Breaking Lose” is here now, in America.
Maybe instead of buying Greenland, Panama, and Canada those tax dollars should go to Americans that lost all to hurricanes, tornados, century level flooding and fires. Especially those of us that pay those fucking taxes.
Not buy those places with our money, then give it to tax exempt billionaires to take the resources for billions more in their off shores banks.

Said she and her husband are prepared to evacuate, but they are still a mile away from the mandatory evacuation area. They have been through so much the past few years with her husband surviving insurmountable odds. He unlike my father got the absolute best treatment through many disasters and survived. I feel terrible for them. Hopefully it will not come to that, he is on dialysis now with everything that happened and is not a candidate for a transplant.
