  1.  @alisha8586  They are on an island. If people are the same as when I lived on the coast, many of those who don't evacuate seem to take great pleasure in literally teasing those who do evacuate. As if evacuating and being lucky the storm didn't destroy your home is wrong. Many act like they know more than the weather men and women about what a hurricane is going to do. 95% of the time, people could have stayed home, but you simply don't know. No one has a crystal ball. I don't know why the teasing. It seems like a "My truck is bigger than yours" type of thing.

  2.  @cocokai9661  When was the storm predicted to weaken to a Cat 1 before coming ashore? Are you certain about that? Sanibel was in the evacuation even when models showed the center coming ashore closer to Tampa.

  3.  @cocokai9661  BTW, Find a single article about a rape of a killing in amy Florida city or county HURRICANE shelter. That's total BS. But, whatever makes you sleep at night.

  4.  @thdoggo1  Oh, C'mon. You can't compare a tornado that gives no heads-up and someone staying on Sanibel that was in the evac zone before and after the storm's predicted path was a bit more southernly. That's not a fair comparison at all.

  5.  @alisha8586  She spoke only about the handful of hours following the storm when the first responders arrived. She actually spoke more about being in the hurricane wall mostly.

  6.  @THEROOTMATTERS  Her mother's home had new windows and doors. It wasn't heightened. They went next door because that home had a second story. I'm trying to figure out why the husband was out there in water as high as his armpit. They should have gone to their mother's neighbor's long before it got that high.

  7.  @jenniferruth812  I do agree with the facts you've stated. You should've added that Sanibel was in the evac order when the eye was thought to come ashore closer to Tampa. It's one thing if you're an adult and decide to stay but when you have toddlers, their safety comes first and means to leave didn't appear to be an issue. If you've ever lived on the coast in Florida, Georgia, SC, LA and been under the threat of an approaching hurricane, then you know that even when an evacuation order is given, the people who stay will literally make fun of the people who decide to evacuate. Why? I don't know. It's quite ignorant. Instead of being happy that they evacuated and returned to an intact home, some people get annoyed as though the evacuation order was some gov't conspiracy. So, they never do it again. Those that don't evacuate act like it's some type of bragging rights. Unfortunately, hundreds of DB tell the actual story.

  8.  @alexalynncrow7571  It was a ridiculous comparison to put an area that has tornadoes that pop up in seconds up against a hurricane known days about in advance. Disregard that idiotic post. It's simple ignorance.

  9.  @CadaverQT  You are correct. Most people don't have $400 for an emergency. However, if you live on a barrier island evacuations are necessary. If you're near the coast in a mandatory evacuation, you know as well as I do that you can go to one of the buildings they've opened and designated as a hurricane safe shelter. There's no charge and you'll even be fed while there. You're likely to have electricity and if a medical crisis arises, you'll have first responders. If you $2 in your bank account and no transportation, you know you can call the local numbers on the local stations doing 24hr hurricane coverage and the city or county will arrange transportation for you, your family and pets. These are in place SPECIFICALLY because 70% of Americans don't have the finances or means to hop in their car and drive to Georgia. These are not buildings that operate as daily shelters the rest of the year. They convert govt building ga like schools, libraries, sporting arenas, etc.in a matter of hours. I am the first to stand up for people without means, but this is not the case when an impending hurricane is approaching. States, counties and cities all have this planned out a year or more in advance. The funding is already there. So, you cannot put it down to the cost. Every state took notes after Katrina and Florida does it more often than any other state. If you don't want to evacuate yourself, that's fine. Say you don't. But, don't blame it a non-existent cause blocking you or anyone else from evacuating.

  12. Cunningham sounds like a raving idiot in this video. He went back to what a Democrat did in 1972. If he's going that far back he should have focused 9n Nixon, too.

  13. Agreed, but if the judge didn't punish the prosecution, we'd see a lot more f*ckery from district attorneys and police depts

  14. We had 647 mass shootings last year and we're at 146 this year. They've become so commonplace that unless it's a school, most mass shootings only make the local news. So, these shootings that make national headlines are a very small percentage of the actual number. We have an average of two mass shootings per day. Most countries don't have 2 a year -- we have 2 each day.

  16. Cunningham is the perfect republican. DEFLECT! DEFLECT! DEFLECT! Justify a Republican's COUNTLESS LIES because a Democrat supported something in 1972. Unbelievable. At least democrats call out their own -- just ask Cuomo's brother. Republicans ignore every Republican's misdeeds.

  18. I think aid should go to poorer communities first. Those are the families least likely to have financial resources to live in alternative housing and/or have hotel rooms and rental reimbursed while their homes are being rebuilt. They are those most likely to not have insurance, esp rental insurance. Poorer communities cannot wait for govt reimbursements. How does this not make sense to you?

  22. STOP calling them "Red Flag Laws" and start small. Call them "Violent History Checks" -- that is one thing nearly all of us agree on and politicians will have a difficult time arguing against it. Some of the "solutions" I've heard are crazy. Making teachers carry guns is the most ridiculous one I've heard by the GOP. Remember the kindergarten teacher who was shot in the Virginia school -- Do they expect her or any teacher to aim and fire at a 6 year old?? The Louisville bank had a "good guy with a gun" inside, but he wasn't able to stop the shooter. In fact, he was shot and he died.

  24. The raw chemical is imported from china and is labeled as a "Research Only" chemical BUT cannot be used for humans or livestock. It's also not considered an unregulated supplement. There is no legitimate use for it. Eventually, Congress or the FDA will ban it and can stop it being imported -- at least not legally.

  25. How do you protect power stations in a hurricane with flooding?

  26. That young girl who said Abbott isn't getting any help with immigration must have overlooked the hundreds of millions of dollars the federal govt gives Texas every year specifically for immigration issues that other states don't receive. Texas gets more than any other state. Florida can't even spend all of theirs -- DeSantis had to hijack migrants from Texas

  27. Do you think another attorney would have been effective enough to have the jurors arrive at a verdict of not guilty? The case was largely circumstantial and Alex's decision to testify was likely the biggest factor in the jury's verdict. Alex, like most narcissists, thought he was good enough to manipulate the jurors by testifying. His success as an attorney in convincing jurors to rule in favor of his clients likely played a huge part in decision to take the stand. Although, without trying to explain it by taking the stand, I don't know how his voice on the Snapchat video could have been explained otherwise. Still, his defense may have been better to not address it all vs him finally admitting that he was at the kennels just minutes before the murders were estimated to have taken place. Given all the circumstances,bit was a gutsy decision for the prosecutor to even bring this case.

  28. The republican party obviously doesn't care what he lied about since the RNC, including McCarthy, was aware of many if his lies prior to the Nov election.

  30.  @GodlessReason  I am not siding with the students related to this video, but I am with the OP when there is a language barrier. Based upon what you've written, there is no need to attend class -- just go to the library and use other outside resources to learn the subject. That's a ridiculous statement.

  32. The DOJ has already said as much about going to the appellate court. There are a few things that are inaccurate about your interpretations of the code, but this judge doubling-down on a former POTUS needing to be given special interpretations of the law IS problematic.

  33. C'mon News Nation -- Do what you promised to do when you started News Nation: To give viewers ALL sides of a story. You are often falling short of doing so -- Maybe, News Nation should ask Kevin McCarthy why the GOP's budget proposal would give Border Control the largest cut in 2 decades and would take away 2,000 current Border Patrol positions. While Biden's proposal would actually add 445 Border Patrol positions and $500 million in technology that if implemented would remove 1500 tons of meth coming in from Mexico. In each of the last 2 years, more than twice as much fentanyl was seized coming over the Mexico-US border than was seized during the Trump administration-controlled Border Patrol.

  37. Both sides of the aisle have agree to negotiate and be WILLING to compromise before anyone even thinks about possible solutions. If our political system didn't allow corporate donors, things would have never gotten to this point. Whoever has the most money makes the rules. Citizens United is a ruling that needs to be re-evaluated, esp since it was a 5-4 decision and one of those 5 have just been exposed as directly benefitting from that ruling to the tune of a million-plus dollars every year for decades

  38.  @Jazz1959  If that was Alex's intention, the hired gun would have found a way to get to Buster. Additionally, Alex would not have tried to have his drug dealer shoot him. He didn't want to commit suicide in case it nullified his $10 million life insurance policy that Buster would get upon his passing. In a docu-series on one of the streaming platforms, several people close to the family all stated Buster was definitely Alex's (and the wife/mother) favorite of the two boys. Your theory isn't accurate, imho.

  42. I do think his decision to represent Alex may have some consequences when his re-election comes up. However, it didn't appear to effect his last re-election when he represented Paul for the boating incident, but that case didn't make the headlines the two murders did.

  47.  @johnwattdotca  These are years before he was elected. The ONLY expense a POTUS has in office is paying for the food brought into the WH. Everything else is taken care of by taxpayers. After leaving office, a former POTUS has a HUGE allowance for things like staff, travel/transportation, office accomodations (I'm sure Trump is using his own property and charging the gov't),

  50. I have knives in sheaths in my kitchen and none of them have a belt loop to wear it. Besides, it's easier to conceal a sheathed knife without wearing it on one's belt.
