Agency reverses course on Trump's Alabama hurricane claim

This deserves its own thread.

 

I cited YOU posting the quote, quit playing dumb you fool no one but yourself.

 

Don't live in Florida. Your deflection is duly noted though.

 

Seriously are you Trump in disguise? Let me put it more simply to you. If it is predicted that there is 5% chance that a 30mph wind is going to be in your area and then later on that probability is increased to 50% that does not mean that the wind speed is going to be greater. It means that it is more likely that the wind speed of 30mph is going to be in your area. Do you understand now?

 

Critical reading is not something that Trump supporters can do. They take a few facts that, on their face, seem kind of similar to what they want to believe, but when you actually put them all together it just doesn't add up.

Trump's Sunday Sep.1 tweet is demonstrably false. With respect to Alabama, it is the opposite of the truth. That, on its own, is no big deal. What is so discouraging is that he and his supporters make such an effort to cover up a mistake by actively deceiving the country. It is beyond pathetic. It is dangerous.

 

verified my @ss. Most are BS.

 

On it's own it is a big deal, there were undoubtedly people buying plywood and boarding up their houses needlessly. Hospitals preparing for evacuation etc... The weather service had to respond to stop unwarranted hurricane preparations. They did the right thing and Trump should have congratulated them for their quick response but his ego got in the way and he went the temper tantrum route.

 

You are a Trumper in denial.

 

Let me give you a couple examples of what they consider a lie.

When Trump said something cost him an arm and a leg, they said Trump has both arms and both legs so that was a lie.

When Trump said Clinton acid washed her hard drive they said she did not use a liquid, she used bleachbit and called that a lie. These are lies only to those who suffered brain damage due to the shock of Trump winning.

 

Trump, Sept. 5, 2016: You see what’s going on with her emails. It’s a disgrace. It’s a disgusting situation where she pretends like she doesn’t know. I mean, she had her emails — 33,000 emails — acid washed. The most sophisticated person never heard about acid washing. Acid washing is a very expensive process and that’s to really get rid of them.

Trump, Sept. 6, North Carolina: But why do you acid wash, or bleach, the emails? Nobody even heard of it before. Very expensive. Just ask yourself.

Trump, Sept. 6, Virginia: How about the acid wash of the e-mails that didn’t mean anything? How about the 33,000 missing e-mails that were acid washed — acid washed. And Rudy was telling me, nobody does it because it’s such an expensive process. OK, 33,000.

https://www.bleachbit.org Bleachbit is a free, cross platform software used routinely by geeks everywhere and is very simple to use. If you use firefox it will speed up your navigation considerably. It is free not expensive, it is routinely used by millions, not never heard of and of course it's not an acid wash although they do sell microfiber cleaning cloths with Hillary's picture on it.
So what part of what Trump repeatedly said is true?

 

Any normal person knows what he means, just because he didn't know the exact name of the software used. A person who understands sarcasm knows how he talks. When my father refers to his computer as a modem, do I accuse him of lying? No, of course not. I know what he means.

 

Looks like while calling others a moron, you are a little late to the party:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/09/politics/wilbur-ross-noaa-employees/index.html

"Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross threatened to fire top National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration employees if the agency didn't disavow a tweet from a regional office that contradicted President Donald Trump's false claim that Hurricane Dorian was likely to hit Alabama, according to a report by The New York Times."

Of course, in Trump world, everyone who doesn't believe Trump's alternative facts is a moron. In the real world, however, it has been shown over and over and over again that you cannot believe ANYTHING Trump says.

Like the Daniels case and many others, this sordid episode, too, will eventually be fully corroborated, and the Trump fans will then claim it is a nothingburger, while having defended the lies all along the way.

 

Oh bull hockey. There wasn't a person in those audiences that didn't picture her with a bottle of Clorox. By the time he repeated (and still repeats to this day) this line he undoubtedly had had the process explained to him. Not a liquid, very common and free to use. But he'd rather that his minions have visions of her with a cauldron full of bleach and acids stirring in her hard drives and phones.

 

Don't worry, his "minions" are far smarter than the Lefties who believe they can read minds and know how Trump and his supporters think.

 

That Trump is such a stable genius. He can drive the left insane and troll a cat at the same time....

 

Silly us, we go by what he says.

 

You use the term very loosely.

 

If you knew how to read the picture then you would know Trump was right. Unfortunately some are easily swayed by false claims from left wing media because it fits their own confirmation bias. Now you are claiming that the NOAA said it could hit Alabama when before it was not even possible. In other words, the goal post has moved again to fit your bias.

 

Trump was right 3 days too late... doesn't count...

Posting a warning to Pearl Harbor to watch for possible attack on 12/10/41 just doesn't cut it...

 

Why?

A picture is so much better

Bwahahaha, what an absolute moron he is

 

This is all I have from you:

"Conversation



Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

In addition to Florida - South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5. BE CAREFUL! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Trump did not say that Alabama would be hit by "hurricane winds".

So, did you make that up or do you have another quote from Trump?

 

Pointing out just how unreliable NHC/NWS projections really are is not a deflection.
It is right on point.

What do you suppose it cost the FL coast to evacuate and shut down for the Labor Day weekend?

 

Tramp said Alabama will be hit MUCH harder than anticipated, and what was ANTICIPATED was tropical storm winds. The minimum harder than tropical storm winds is Cat 1 HURRICANE winds and MUCH harder is at least Cat 2 HURRICANE winds. DUH!

 

What is the wind speed of "tropical storm force winds"?

Get it now?

 

Do you understand percentages. Here is a clue, it makes no difference what speed is being referred to.

If it is predicted that there is 5% chance that a 39mph - 73mph wind is going to be in your area and then later on that probability is increased to 50% that does not mean that the wind speed is going to be greater. It means that it is more likely that the wind speed of 39mph - 73 mph is going to be in your area. Do you understand now?

You must be pretending to be really slow or you are Trump in disguise. Perhaps you can work out why 39-73 mph has been used
