    He was likely just expressing concern for all that could potentially be affected.

    Using information that is three days old? At the time he issued his tweet, Alabama was definitely NOT going to be affected.

    He made a mistake and failed to own up to it. You guys trying to give him cover is just pathetic.

    The map shown, even without the black area has Bama in the potential path.

    Quote the statute, please.

    I won't hold my breath though. I'm betting you can't...or won't. Most likely you will say something like "google it" or will just deflect.

    I admit Colbert is not the best source but

    https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/colbert-trump-hurricane-dorian-sharpie-880317/

    So who else is quoting the relevant legislation

    https://www.businessinsider.com.au/...ltering-hurricane-dorian-map-2019-9?r=US&IR=T

    So, waiting for the inevitable denial, deflection, goal post shift or whataboutisms

    Which one of the above will you play?

    That map was three days old by the time he tweeted on Sunday.
    When he tweeted, on Sunday, that it was "most likely" that Alabama would "get hit (much) harder than anticipated", there was no longer any risk to Alabama.
    As confirmed by the NOAA just a few minutes after Trump's tweet.

    His tweet was wrong. It is pretty pathetic that you won't accept it.

    FYI, this is Trump's own doing. He is the one who brought out the altered map, and is constantly tweeting gibberish and nonsense on something he should have walked away from days ago.

    I'll remember your support for lying Presidents when the next Democrat takes control and does the same.

    Who am I kidding? There will never be a bigger liar in office than our current jackass.

    Wow...you people are desperate. Pathetic and petty...but mainly desperate.

    1. Do you really think Trump made that map?
    2. Do you know for certain that Trump did the "sharpie" edit?
    3. Do you even know WHY that law was passed?
    4. The map certainly shows the hurricane on a course towards Alabama.
    5. Trump made these comments on September 1st. The hurricane did not change course to the north until 2 am on September 2nd.
    6. While I do agree that Trump's "chicken little" act was a bit over the top and his refusal to correct his error was quite flagrant, this is not a serious crisis or major issue. only the most pathetic, petty, and desperate people would see it as something of significance.

    While you may see my comments as "denials, deflections, or goal post shifting", your desperation in your petty attacks are still there for all to see.

    Trump's faked map was a direct consequence of his goof regarding Alabama. What is troubling is not his goof, but his chronic impotence in his capacity for ever admitting error. Consequently, as a result of his insecurity, he obsessed over his bogus forecast, and lied about it.

    For Trump, it's all about Trump, and so his wonky prediction became, for him, more important that the actual hurricane's path and those in it.

    “That map you showed us today, it looked like it almost had like a Sharpie on it,” the reporter noted.

    And is this re
    I am glad it amused the alt lefties to the tune of at least six OP's created on this forum alone. Hopefully, it took your attention away from the six more Federal Judges McConnell lined up for confirmation right after Congress resumes its business.

    I only saw two threads. That said, Trump supporters will be throwing temper tantrums when control of the Senate changes as is their mental state.

    I support no politician. I would be embarrassed to have a D or an R by my name.

    Except a U.S. Ambassador and 3 other Americans were murdered facilitating the sell of arms, while we sat back and did nothing. Yeah... nothing. Then they changed their memos to lie about the event. Yeah... nothing.

    So Trump and his AG must be deep State swamp creatures if they refuse to bring any charges. Sad.

    He was notified of the interference before the election.

    What did he do to stop the interference before the election?

    He kicked the diplomats out 6+ weeks after the election.

    He did nothing to stop the interference prior to the election

    I guess you were lying or uninformed.
