Casablanca shocked.
For them, it is always theatre. I said it before: for these people, the end always justifies the mean. Any means. They have no limits.

Today's stunt was flooding the Suicide Line used by veterans in distress to demand something or another re the J6 insurrectionists. It's in the "Dante" thread.

Quite frankly, I'm a bit afraid of what's happening and wondering how I exist in a "civil war" type environment.

What's more likely president Trump 2.0 or president de Santis? I think the latter.

President Britney Spears.
Fame and celebrity is all that matters in the U.S.

Republican primaries are still two years away. That's a lot of time for either of them to remain the front runner. If recent history in US presidential primaries tell us anything it's that we won't know who the front runner is until just a few weeks before voting starts, and in Republican primaries that as low as the floor seems to go it can always go lower. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else emerges in the next year that takes these actions to another level from DeSantis. He may have played his hand too early.

Except that he, as you say, won't mind going lower. I really can't think of what other lunacy he can come up, but of course, I am not his political adviser. Fly pregnant teenage immigrants to Florida, to deny them abortions before deporting them to El Salvador? He wouldn't mind.

Hurricane season again! This might be a big one for us:

We have a few webcams that are starting to see some of the waves. I'm not sure what the best one will be, but Peggy's Cove one is already giving us a look:

It's infamous for people ignoring signs to stay off black rocks and falling in the water.

I haven't lost power but at least half the city has. Lots of trees down when I had to pick up kids too. Going to leave a huge mess but nothing too "bad" has happened yet. It's slowed down though so expecting heavy winds all night.
