I lived in a small town on the New Madrid fault line in the middle of tornado alley most of my life and yep, we stocked up because we knew if a sizable enough earthquake hit the area, we were small enough to not get any attention for a long time while the nearby cities were recovering. There's definitely point of wisdom for sticking back supplies for a few months, but stacking a cellar full of tactical mil spec fishing poles and the like is mental masturbation for delusional assholes with less sense than money.

damnit, lost again

Doesn't much seem like a thing an omniscient and omnipotent being would need to do. They would already know, right?

...first of all because it's Tennessee...

And yet, taking the time to fund appropriately the agency that assist the states in dealing with the brunt of climate change is a bridge too far.

He's said since the '16 election exactly who he is and you're just now getting worried?!

Just another example of self-opportunistic rumormongering at the expense of innocent people from that decrepit piece of orange shit.

I'm not religious, but maybe one day in the afterlife I'll have the opportunity to see him in Hell and step on his neck.

Am doing right?

Well, that's just like... my opinion too, man!

You leave Gordito out of this!

Jesus Christ!

Where's Gimli?

Duly noted, and I appreciate your not relegating my opinion to snorting self-sourced methane expulsions.

The harder notion for me here is that I have been voting since Bush Sr. / Clinton. This toilet keeps spinning faster as we get closer to the drain.

Until recent years, I believed that voting was exercising my rights and fighting the good fight. Maybe I'm jaded, which I think is fair, but I do think, in light of the circus we've watched the the past 8 years, that we've entered a new arena where violence ultimately is where this is headed. Someone responded here that I have permission to be something other than sad. Unfortunately, I disagree. When the shots ring out in political rage, we've effectively lost our civility.

I will reconsider my decision to not vote, but the bitterness might win out.
