Starting a war with an extremely hostile country based on the excuse that someone else was going to bomb first and we had no other choice is BULLSHIT!

If he killed all the other prospects then this makes sense.

Seems like an appropriate headline from my WaPo phone app -

How many times does it need to be said, but there is something seriously wrong with this President. To think this is harmless fun or fine to do these things is f&cked up.

This one-year in reflection briefing only verifies how crazy Trump has become. Congress needs to do its job and remove him now.

Woke up this morning to discover my retirement had been robbed of thousands of dollars, all thanks to comments and threats from POTUS to our European allies. He may destroy us this week unless some grownups push back.

How is Greenland needed for β€œnational security reasons” when the POTUS claims that climate change is a hoax?!

He’s done it! Definitely the most embarrassing POTUS in the history of this nation, by far. No one else comes close to the biggest buffoon to ever exist.

Is the formula something like

The shock that I felt on January 6th five years ago was equally as bad as that from 9/11 in 2001.

To not have a national recognition of this day is a shame and to support the narrative that an insurrection didn’t happen is frankly INSANE.

All aboard the AI train wreck. Maybe slowdown and take time to check for accuracy.

We don’t arrest heads of states or put boots on the ground fighting over solar or wind power.

Over 8” of rain from this singular storm easily exceeds rainfall totals from all of last year in Ventura. This is not normal. Our storms are becoming more extreme and the gentle rain days are mostly nonexistent, especially in the last five years.

1.0” in 30 minutes and still moderate to heavy rain in Ventura. Crazy amount of rain in 48 hours, over 5.8” so far.

0.50” in 10 minutes in Ventura!

Correction. Heavy rain band is only about 2 miles wide!

You rarely see this type of convective line over southern CA extending nearly 100 miles, especially on Christmas Day. Wow! Heavy rain is about 5 miles wide and there is potential for waterspouts and small tornadoes.

This may or may not(?) be the Pearl River along the Mississippi-Louisiana border that I photographed on a flight from FL. Thought the meandering course of the water was exceptional.

Trump Administration announces plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research and close its famed Mesa Lab Shortsighted plan would (in my view) cause irreparable harm to global atmospheric science research

ICYMI: Atmospheric science spans from climate scale to microscale - just like the atmosphere itself - and the Trump Administration's plans to dismantle NCAR and somehow protect "vital weather research" shows a complete lack of understanding of how science works. tinyurl.com/3rtpafnx

We’ve received over 8.5” of rain in Ventura, CA since October 1st. More than all of the previous water year and not far from Olympia, WA rainfall totals (8.9”). Haven’t seen any banana slugs here yet.

Almost as much rain in 1 month as we received in all of the previous 12, and this is a La NiΓ±a winter?!
We had somewhere in the vicinity of 6.5” last water year (Oct-Sept).

Yeah, this Trumpian stunt of firing live ammo over an active freeway turned out to be fucking brilliant: Shrapnel fell onto CHP vehicle during U.S. military live-fire exercise over I-5, agency says www.latimes.com/california/s...
