    So next time we have a super storm, no one will know in advance, and no one will be able to evacuate, or get ready for the storm. 4X damage and loss of life at least.

  2. We have so many unused nukes laying around that we’re simply going to destroy the hurricanes before they reach land

    He’s probably still butthurt over them not forcing the hurricane to follow his Sharpie path.

  4. An abuser sets up the environment such that the abused is always in need of the abuser. The less the abused/mistreated/uneducated have, the more they have to succumb and rely on the abuser.

  5. Donald Trump is really a dumb ass. That is a reason why he chose Just Dumb Vance to be his sidekick.

    … and replace it with something better. Florida, you will be protected and Trump will be your protector. You will no longer be thinking about hurricanes.

    or something

  7. Trump wants to piss on you in public and humiliate you. Once he dies he feels good. If your an a government agency, same thing, piss on the agency , humiliate it and he feels good.
    He doesn’t have answers or solutions, just a lot piss. He’s that simple. It’s just a pissing contest to him. He’s that simple.

    Bush did something similar. There was a hypothetical of “what if a major hurricane hits New Orleans?” And the program was working on a comprehensive plan for how the federal government would address that. He stopped the program.

    And the other two disasters that were being analyzed and planned for were 1) major earthquake in Southern California and 2) major terrorist attack in New York City.

  9. Sure Trump isn’t for Project 2025 says the ignorant conservatives (in between saying it’s not real) while constantly advocating for things part of Project 2025.

  10. He’s still butthurt NOAA wouldn’t let him change the course of a hurricane to OK. Everything is personal with him

  11. And the man is still a moron and idiot. He thinks he an expert on everything and he sure the hell is not an expert on anything.

  12. Out of all the garbage mentioned in Project 2025, this for me is weird as shit. Why? What does it gain you…more fear based lies? Control?

  13. I think. We should respect their wishes, and ban advanced warnings to states that don’t want it. Let’s see how it works out….

  14. If you read Project 2025, it’s a LOT more than just hurricane agencies they want to end. Trump & the Republicans want to send America to third world levels of government, with just a bunch of super rich corrupt oligarchs in charge of us all.

  15. Sharpies are so much cheaper than the National Weather Service. When was the last time a Cat 5 hurricane hit Mar-a-Lago? Look at Helene — it was a clear miss; way over on the other side of the state!

    They might as well.. because in red states, FEMA money now goes to “GLO” in Texas .. it’s an agency that finds loopholes to deny giving the FEMA money to hurricane victims and keeps it for state pet projects..
    same for snap and TANF funds.

    Every time I see these stories I can’t help but put on my tinfoil hat and say it’s Russia and China whispering in his ear to dismantle these things because they want to make us weaker.

    It’s wild to me that MAGA people claim to be so pro America but don’t think for a second that it’s anti American to do these things.

  18. Because they embarrassed him when he said hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama and it clearly wasn’t.

  19. Well…He does have his “special sharpie” to direct hurricane paths. I guess he messed up this time.

  20. Western North Carolina folks mad because I have the audacity to point out they would have been happy to see FEMA and NOAA go away to spite liberals. Also, they will now want their share of government assistance. Funny how that works.

    Trump wants to dismantle a lot of functional agencies, yet wont dismantle his disaster of a campaign –

  22. I guess you didn’t know it, but I am a storm predictor too,
    and if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you.
    Now you call pretty good cyclones, boy, but give the Donald his due.
    I’ll bet a Sharpie o’ gold against your soul ’cause I think I’m better than you.
