Because the hurricane shares equal blame on contributory/indirect causes as it does with direct causes. Apples and oranges comparisons I think with every storm there are a number of 'contributory' deaths baked into the count, just not so many. That would be a statistical outlier, but I'm not sure it's a disqualifier. See also: Katrina and New Orleans.

No wonder she's hand-in-glove with the lecher's thinking. She can't help herself. This is re Valerie Jarrett - BO's senior advisor - who's been out of government for over a year.

Looks like Roseanne finally tracked enough shit through the halls of ABC and Disney to be canned.

Stock market won't like this. The China tariffs are back on. On Tuesday, the White House said the administration would proceed with its proposal to impose 25% tariffs on $50 billion worth of goods from China, and place new limits on Chinese investments in US high-tech industries. The decision comes after top administration officials have tried to dampen fears of a trade war. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a trade war with China was "on hold" less than 10 days ago. And Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is expected in Beijing on Saturday to help ease trade tensions between the two major trading partners. Beijing has previously pledged to retaliate against the 25 percent tariffs. In a brief statement, the White House said the president plans to take "multiple steps" to protect domestic technology and intellectual property from certain "discriminatory and burdensome trade practices by China." The latest step follows a March report by the US Trade Representative Office, which undertook a seven-month investigation of China's handling of technology transfers and intellectual property, according to the White House's statement. "The United States will implement specific investment restrictions and enhanced export controls for Chinese persons and entities related to the acquisition of industrially significant technology, the White House said in a statement. The final list of covered imports subject to tariffs will be announced by June 15. Those tariffs will take effect "shortly thereafter." Proposed investment restrictions will be announced by June 30 and also take effect at a later date. money.cnn.com/2018/05/29/news/economy/china-tariffs/index.htmlNo wonder the Dow is in the tank this morning. MSNBC Power Lunch is at this minute blaming Italian bonds even tho this is the third straight day of losses. Oil market is down 8 dollars since last week. Donnie Darko can't control that. But don't hold your breath waiting for the price to drop at the pumps.

I've worked with people like her. Constant racial this and that followed by "I was just joking!"

Louisiana televangelist seeks $54 million for private jet so he can avoid ‘demons’ who infest commercial flights Louisiana televangelist is asking his followers to help him raise tens of millions of dollars so he can buy a new private jet. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Pastor Jesse Duplantis, who two years ago made headlines by claiming that aborted babies would all be resurrected and sent to Heaven via the Rapture, is asking people to donate money to help him secure a private jet that he says will be used to spread God’s word more efficiently than by taking commercial flights. “I really believe that if the Lord Jesus Christ was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn’t be riding a donkey,” Duplantis said in a video promoting fundraising for the jet. “He’d be in an airplane flying all over the world.” The Times-Picayune notes that Duplantis has been complaining about the burdens of relying on commercial airlines for years now, and in 2015 he even said commercial flights were infested by “a bunch of demons” who were hindering his work of spreading the Gospel. The jet that Duplantis has his eyes on is the Dassault Falcon 7X, a three-engine jet that has an estimated net worth of $54 million. “I want you to believe in me for a Falcon 7X,” he told his followers in a fundraising pitch. “Pray about becoming a partner to it.” www.rawstory.com/2018/05/louisiana-televangelist-seeks-54-million-private-jet-can-avoid-demons-infest-commercial-flights/I have only flown commercial jet once and while the wings flapping as the plane was gaining speed down the runway was a little unnerving I don’t remember any demons at all.

I used to fly constantly for work. I gotta say, it might've been demons that made the door fall off the plane while we were taxiing toward the runway in Philly. Lol, they just welded it back on and we took off.

It's a shame his followers aren't recognizing his inability to distinguish "demons" from "marks" One of the "fun" facts about wings: they generate all the lift, but most of the weight is in the middle of the plane, so you put the fuel in the wings to help weigh them down so they don't stress the joints with the plane and rip right off. Oh, they still apply a shit ton of stress to the fuselage, but not as much (It also means that the joint is basically the strongest part of the plane and since planes are designed to be balanced at the wing, it conveniently makes wrapping the ropes around the wing joints the best way to lift a plane if you need to crane it anywhere)

I mean, you've intentionally compromised an emergency exit so that can't be up to code and there's no way you verified the structural integrity of the welds and how they'd handle under the pressure differentials (or whether they'd even be air-tight) and the long term damage when you want to do a proper fix.... WTF?

WTF? Trust me, I know. We were not even given the opportunity to deplane. This was around 8 years ago, but I can't imagine things are better. And it could have been worse. At least the door (main cockpit) didn't fall off when we were aloft. I lived through all manner of airline shit. I really avoid flying now because I probably have used up 8 of my nine lives already.

Bernie Sanders Considering Another Run for Prez.
Who else do the Dems have to run for President? Not Liz Warren. You can't claim to be native american and not have a tribal ID. Every native americans has heard this from whites 1,000's of times. Even if she got a DNA test that proved she was part native the Repubs would still mock her and call her half white/native just like they called former Pres. Obama half black/white.
Anyone on SwampHive have any names that should be considered for Pres. by the Dems?

She's just another one of millions of white people whose parents 'told' her she was native american. Married to Kellie for 15 years I've seen this act before. Blonde hair/blue eyed woman finds out Kellie is native and says she is too. Kellie asks what tribe? Blonde doesn't know but grandma said...
