I've got family all over the state; family in Clearwater is planning to ride out the storm at home but other from the tallahassee area have already evacuated to Jacksonville area. Down here in Fort Lauderdale we're not expecting a hard hit and I'm staying put. We have steel shutters for every window and my condo is about 12 ft. above the ground so flooding is not a concern. Funny though, our power was off for about 3 hours. I hope everyone in the path of this storm stays safe.We learned years ago with Hurricane Andrew these storms ca be very unpredictale and they can increase i strength very quickle and not follow the predicted path so be prepared!

Not defending Mayor Adams but much of what he is accused of seem no worse than things several Supreme Court Justices are doing with impunity or many of Donald Trump's crimes.

"When will the rank and file Democrat voter figure out who runs their party?"

Funny post considering the power Donald Trump has wielded the last several years over the Republican Party makes Visitor's comment about Democrats look ridiculous! Right now Mike Johnson are defying Orange Hitler's attenpt to shut down the government and they are finally acting like the members of Congress they were elected to be! The GQP is actually owned and operated by a few billionaires who own it completely.

And then real idiots likeVisitor try to pretend the Democratic Party is run by ao wonder if he ever reads or listens to anything except Fox News?

All these birds coming here to rob and rape us!

Ironic he wants to give them serial numbers; we've been wanting to give him one sibce Jan. 6, 2021!

"Here Are Trump's Top Billionaire Donors"

"When will the rank and file Democrat voter figure out who runs their party?"

We know who runs our partu but you hanen't figured out who runs yours! To me that level of stupidity would be embarrassing! AnswerL thank Supreme Court Citizens United decision. Please don't tell me now ypu didn't know what that decision was about?! Everyone else knew! Hey you're extremely late but welcome to the party!

Peice of bananas just quadrupled!

"How did cocaine end up among bananas?"

You would have predicted apples? What fruit do you think would be the most likely to hide cocaine?

""the youth" are notorious for not showing up to vote."
Yeah those lazy punks are too busy working two jobs to pay the rent! America today; you worked hatd and paid off your mortgage so now stick it to the young by charging exorbidant rent.

I'm wondeijridyng; has there ever really been peace in ME? Will there ever be peace there? Why should we care? Those crazy, religion driven lunattics should not be able to ruinthe future for the rest of us.....oh wait, I forgot. We have our own brand of religious lunatics to contend with; "Evangelical Haters for Christt!. Truth is: it's not which religion is wrong; it's the Neanderthal idea of religion that is the problem. It's not which sky fairy it's the stupid idea of sky fairies. So the rest of the world will just sit here and wait for the most religious hell holes on Earth to grow the ---- up! There will be religious wars and terrorists until the human race eliminates all religions1 And ALL includes Evangelical Haters! IMHO they are actually the worst!

Poetic Justice! My favorite kind! But the way he added to the terrible pain of those kid's parents created a debt he will never be able to pay. I probably only really know one thing; I ask God to never let me be that evil and. thankfully God has answered my prayers.

Unpredictaility is thr most predictable element in American elections. I personally think Trump jumped the shark but I am not predicting any outcome.

"My only question is why haven't more non-irrational, non-conspiracy-aligned Republicans not stopped supporting Trump?"

Disturbing! Democrats need to pass a Constitutional amendment declaring that corporations are not people and make corporate campaign donations illegal.

I applaud his courage and willilngness to expose himself to the threats of MAGAcrazies! I'd just like to know, do we still have MgaTS POSTING HERE?

Every time Trump tries to harm the nation kust to guve Trump talking points to attack Harris for not preventing a crises he cauaes his chances of winning go down. He has sold his personna as a tough guy but if even Republicans are igboring him his Personna is rapidly being seen more that of a crazy old man losing his cognitive faculties and that is the worst thing that can happen to a candidate; people are laughing at him! He is already a cartoon character and it will get worse!

"My only question is why haven't more non-irrational, non-conspiracy-aligned Republicans not stopped supporting Trump?

Yhe answer to your question is another question: Why would any rational, intelligent person become a Trunp supporter in the first pkace? Answer to that question is that a rational, intelligent person never would have become a Trump supporter. Irrational, unintelligent people are but they can't become rational and intelligent. The problem America faces is that there are many nore irrational and unintelligent people in America than we thought. Sometimes we think we can communicate with them and change their minds; that's the crazy part of us.

Our International airports will be overwhelmed by idiots a/k/a MAGAmorons heading for Moscow to claim their rewards for being traitors to America. I sincerely hope they aren't too disappointed by the living situations they will soon be enjoying and I di hope they pirchased a one-way ticket because we will celebrate their leaving but not their return.

"It's called democracy. Democrats should try it, since it's right in the name."

Oddly stupid post. Tell us moron, when was the last time Democrats lost the election and then invaded the Capital to prevent the certification of the election by assasinating the Vice President?

President Biden looked at the threat to democracy posed by Donald Trump and withdrew his candidacy so that a younger candidate could win and defend our democracy. So when is Jill Stein going to demonstrate her connittment to democracy through personal sacrifice? Sorry, spoiler candidates like her and Ralph NADER are far more concerned about their own egos than democracy. This election reveals the truth about Stein: Her own Ego before democracy is her priority! We have Russian sympathizers defending Stein here! Laughable at best. Stein needs to exit the race and get behind the preservation of deocracy! If you didn't learn anything in 2000 then you'll probably refuse to put American democracy first but just admit the truth Stein supporters, you're really closeted Trump supporters. Don't be offended by being identified honestly, embrace what you are! So, you're Trump supporters! Own it!

"It's called democracy. Democrats should try it, since it's right in the name.'

Like Trump did in the last election? Insurrection, invasion of the Capital, the hunt for Mike Pence to assassinate him so he couldn't carry out hia Constitutional duties?

Sometimes patriotism becomes more important han personal ego gratification. George W. Bush benefited by Ralph Nader's need foe ego gratification. I wouldn't want to be Jill Stein if her ego enabled Donald Trump to win! Oh, the preaching about democracy be Putin sychophant EFFETELIAR is sadly laughable' Go preach to Putin about democracy ASS***e1 If they let you give us a call from Siberia and let us know how well recieved your opinions are!

Analysis: Cut taxea for the richest Americans and you get huge campaign donations, cut taxes for the workinf class you get an expanding economy.So it comes down to rich people buying elections vs. leaders vreating opportunities for investment into our economThe ROI contributions to Republicans appear small vonpared to invstments into our economy rhat buys new equipment and creayes profits. Dob't invest in your favorite corrupt politiviam's campaign; invrst into the bidinesses thst employ your consyituents.

i Think it should be said: that perhaps Kammala Harris is probably going to be the President to launch the United States onto a path of economic success in the same way FDR did! Hey, Republicans despised him too and then they made lots of money!

I feel afraid to hust say I'm feeling good about the upcoming electiion! I especially like the tone of Kamala Harris's tone of forward looking progress for working class entrepreneurs who are he real innovators that created America! Her tax deduction of $50,000 for a new business owner is nothing short of brilliant! I was a small business owner and capital outlays of cash for new equipment are the life's blood of success for small, new businesses. That will be the biggest investment in jobs since FDR. oUR NATION NEEDS TO LEARN FROM THE PAST AND ESPECIALLY THE MOST SUCCESSFUL pRESIDENT IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY!!!

"The Centurion Lounge is free for me because someone else has chosen to pay for it.

And how long do you think it will remain free for you if somehow Trump could issue an executive order reducing interest rates to 10%?

zzzzzwhy does Donald want to take away your free benefits? Hmmmm????/ Cuz he's desperate???

Trump economy 10weed taxes but that idea wouldn't sell in America so we just renamed it inflation and then blamed it on the next administrationl i.e: Biden. So today; SURPRISE! he wants to do the exact same thing again.

"Trump's on his way to saying, "F&&$ it! NO TAXES ON ANYONE ... EVER!!"

Yes. and that would turn the dollar into worthless paper. The government has to have a source for something of real value but when the 1%, who have most of the money, are unwilling to return a portion to the government even their own money becomes worthless; Germany 1930.s so they elected a right wing tyrant who made the people work for nearly free so that the rich could keep all of their worthless money. So Hitler did then what Pitin is doing now. Invade another country and steal their wealth. This only works though until the victim nation runs out of wealth to steal and then the aggressor nation has to invade another victim nation and the cycle will keep repeating until someone stops the addressor which is what the U.S. is trying to do in Ukraine right now but Ukraine only has so many men to sacrifice in this war. NATO needs to step up now and reinforce the Ulrainians with both war materials but also troops or elsw Russia's unqurnchable thirst for unearned wealth will motivate Putin to invade more of Europe. We've all seen this movie before but some of us (Republicans) didn't learn anything. The Russian demands for wealth will not just atop; they have to be stopprd! That's going to be expensive but waiting longer wpn't make it cheaper! Probably the only wealth in Russia that could be tapped to repay the world is their oil' which means, Putin amd the evil oligarchs who caused this war bt stealing all the wealth of Russia and leaving the people to starvr and freee in winter but, just as Czar Nicholas learned, the hard way, today's oligarchs will also have to learn.....starting with Putin hanging in Moscow and probably a bloodbath of the o;igarchs similar to th e "reign of terror" during the French Revolution.

Trump's "Truth Social" is an obvious oxymoron!
