Well, it is going to hit somewhere and do a lot of damage. If it hits MaraLardo, that is just making the best out of a bad situation.

What happened to the fabled Trump “sense of humor”? Or is it only a “joke” if Trump is promising pardons for government employees who violate the law?

I must be a horrible person… I am also rooting for a direct hit on Mar-a-Lago, I mean the hurricane has to hit somewhere. I’ll also be fine if it hits the Doral, see if that get rid of the bedbugs. The Trump national in Jupiter would be Ok too.

Anyway if one the Trump properties gets hit, he will order the DoD or DHS to redirect 5 billion dollars for it’s reconstruction and some Federalist Society Federal Judge will agree that it’s all legal because Congress has no standing.

I can assure Beavis Campbell isn’t the only one.

In fact, some of us are putting up billboards in hopes of a two-fer.

Qusay continued “… but we’re totally good with migrant kids in cages and especially with killing kids here for medical treatment.”

I asked my Rethugliklan Rep whether he would prefer kids with life threatening medical conditions be deported in cages or coffins. No word back yet.

I guess Daddy was too busy to respond, what with having to figure out the scam he’s going to put in place to siphon all FEMA money for pretend damage at his FL properties.

Interesting parallels between the careers of Kim Campbell and Donald Trump. At the age of ten, Kim Campbell was host of CBC’s Junior Television Club.

Psst, Uday? She’s not the only one. But, chill. Your sperm donor and climate change denier in chief will leapfrog over those more deserving and get at those FEMA funds, first.

Trump has a golf club in Jupiter which is where the eye is likely to cross the coast.
Hoping… Hoping…

What puts the Karamel Karma topping on the Schadenfreude Sundae is if Mar-A-LardAss is hit by THE VENGEFUL WRATH OF OUR ONE TRUE LIVING GOD! (which is the way the fundies would put it if the hurricane leveled a gay bar in Key West), there is almost certainly not going to be any aid passed for Florida without the Dems in the House demanding the rest of the aid for Puerto Rico, too. And that’s besides the 92 trazillion dollars Trump has already sent to the island. In Monopoly dollars, of course.

And have fun, Donald, pulling the rest of that money from FEMA to fund your border wall if Dorian makes Florida a total disaster.

But, hey - Florida has a “stand your ground” law. Maybe all the Trumpsters can stand on the beach and shoot at Dorian, since he is threatening them first. Not exactly on the scale of Fat Ass’s plan to nuke the hurricane, but it’s a start, Florida Men!

He already has that dialed in.

A series of hurricanes tore through Florida in 2005, and Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s business and residence in Palm Beach, was apparently very beaten up because Trump collected about $18.3 million in insurance payments from Aon PLC that year.

When my attorney asked Trump during a 2007 deposition if he ever plowed all of those funds back into his club, he pointed out that “under the insurance plan you didn’t have to” even though “the hurricane really did tremendous damage.”

“What kind of damage specifically did you have to the property from these hurricanes?” my lawyer asked.

“I don’t remember that; I really don’t,” Trump replied. “They did appraisals.”

Like Eric Trump ever gave a flying fuck about anyone outside of his own family.

Let’s see him send out a Tweet criticizing Stephen Miller and his own Daddy for caging kids on the border or for sending people with deadly medical conditions back to places where they are sure to die.

Blow me, Eric.
