And on Thursday in Florida, before his comments aboard Air Force One about climate change, Trump said the people of Florida experienced something "the likes of which we can say really say nobody's ever seen before."

"They've never seen a category like this come in because it came in really at a five," he said.

He is obviously talking about being a cat5 all the way to landfall.

Kind of kills the buzz of when he actually does say stupid shit.

This is still stupid shit.
Can't he just say something plainly? What should be a simple sentence needs translation.

They've never seen a category like this come in because it came in really at a five.

This kind of word salad is typical of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!

(CNN)For weeks, ethics watchdog groups had a countdown clock on Twitter promising the public its first glimpse at who has been visiting President Donald Trump's "Winter White House" at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.
Instead, on Friday the Trump administration turned over a list of only 22 names of foreign dignitaries and staffers related to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's February trip to the Florida resort.

The Trump administration announced in April that it would no longer publicly release White House visitor logs, citing "grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually."

British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday it was not helpful for anyone to speculate on investigations after U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that the culprits behind a train bombing had been “in the sights” of the police.

Soon after 22 people were injured in the attack on a busy underground train in west London, Trump tweeted: “Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!”

His comments appeared to point the finger at British police. Asked whether Trump knew something Britain did not, May said: “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation”.

Others chimed in, with one of May’s former chief of staffs, Nick Timothy, saying Trump’s comment was “so unhelpful from leader of our ally and intelligence partner”.

The juggalos gathered outside the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday to protest the FBI’s classification of their group as a "loosely organised hybrid gang”.

According to the National Park Service, some 3,000 people were expected to attend the rally on Saturday – almost double the size of the MOAR.

Can't get over how good this sign is

President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission came under fire earlier this month when a lawsuit and media reports revealed that the commissioners were using private emails to conduct public business. Commission co-chair Kris Kobach confirmed this week that most of them continue to do so.

Experts say the commission’s email practices do not appear to comport with federal law. “The statute here is clear,” said Jason R. Baron, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle and former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration.

Essentially, Baron said, the commissioners have three options: 1. They can use a government email address; 2. They can use a private email address but copy every message to a government account; or 3. They can use a private email address and forward each message to a government account within 20 days. According to Baron, those are the requirements of the Presidential Records Act of 1978, which the commission must comply with under its charter.

“All written communications between or among its members involving commission business are permanent records destined to be preserved at the National Archives,” said Baron. “Without specific guidance, commission members may not realize that their email communications about commission business constitute White House records.”

ProPublica reviewed dozens of emails to and from members of the commission as well as written directives on records retention. The commissioners appear to have been given no instructions to use government email or copy or forward messages to a government account.

Commissioner Matthew Dunlap, the secretary of state for Maine, confirmed that he’d received no such directives. “That’s news to me,” he said, when read the PRA provision governing emails. “I think it would be a little cleaner if I had a us.gov email account.”

The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!

It's amazing how much shitty behavior (and ignoring of the constitution) you can justify if you just say you're fighting social justice warriors. Gamersgate was a glimpse into this behaviour. It was ugly then. Now it's toying with the idea that the constitution is in the way. Now it's dangerous.

Funny, I haven't heard anyone suggesting the constitution is in the way.

Ugh.

President Donald Trump's inaugural committee raised an unprecedented $107 million for a ceremony that officials promised would be "workmanlike," and the committee pledged to give leftover funds to charity. Nearly eight months later, the group has helped pay for redecorating at the White House and the vice president's residence in Washington.

But nothing has yet gone to charity.

What is left from the massive fundraising is a mystery, clouded by messy and, at times, budget-busting management of a private fund that requires little public disclosure. The Associated Press spoke with eight people — vendors, donors and Trump associates — involved in planning and political fundraising for the celebration, an event that provides an early look at the new president's management style and priorities. The people described a chaotic process marked by last-minute decisions, staffing turnover and little financial oversight.
