This is probably a good point. Trump's doubling down on this point may be a deliberate ploy to make the media and the public obsess over it to the point of distracting everyone from much more serious malfeasance he and his administration are trying to get away with.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I think you are aware of what this means and why it is scandalous. "It's all in the game" you probably tell yourself. I wonder if it ever even occurs to anymore what the game is supposed to be about.

If you are not watching it, how are you aware of it?

No. Learn to weather correctly.
Any path that may have gone through that part of the nation - and there were very few - only indicates a possible path of the system, which can be severely degraded at that point and be nothing more than a tropical disturbance. As well, that was days before Trump did his hair-fire “Hurr-cane is comin’ to git you!!1!” claim.
Awkward, indeed, that neither you nor the President know how forecasting or weather systems function. More awkward is watching the President waste a week and call a press conference in an attempt to salve his bruised ego, and then to watch you defend that snowflake behavior.

On a related note, maybe this is a common enough characteristic amongst conservatives and Trumpkins to explain why there are so few successful conservative-oriented comedians.
The only funny is how in times like this you guys still haven't learned to pay attention to the other hand.
The other hand is covered in other threads. What’s truly funny is your insistence in projecting your inability to notice more than one item at a time on to other functional folks who are not saddled with your disability.
Well, that and watching the President throw a tantrum for a week over it. : D

Yes, Trump has kept this Dorian story alive by pure magic. But please, do tell...what is the other hand doing? That thread(s) appears to be absent...

Making scientists back up the stupid and unnecessary lies told by Trump is totally wrong. It was bad enough that Trump has subverted the DoJ and other govt agencies. Must he contaminate everything?
