Can't sue a sitting President but can we sue the guy sitting next to him as a party to the crime?
I believe you can sue him, just ask clinton, I think he was sued while still in office. you just can't bring criminal charges.

Looks like I picked the wrong time for an Outer Banks vacation. :p

How big is your butt?

The wild horses of the Outer Banks won't evacuate. They have a special trick to survive hurricanes

A bunch of majestic horses that spend their days frolicking on the beach in North Carolina's Outer Banks will not be evacuated.
With Hurricane Dorian quickly approaching, the colonial Spanish mustangs will huddle together and ride out the storm using a trick horses have used for centuries.

They will move to higher ground and gather under sturdy oak trees to shelter from the storm, said the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, which manages the herd and sends a similar reminder during major hurricanes due to the outpouring of concern for the horses. "They'll likely ride out winds and rain as their ancestors did before them — in huddles, butts to the wind," it added.

And unlike human beings living in the Outer Banks, the wild horses are better equipped to handle a hurricane. They're already sensing a change in air pressure and are grouping up together.
"Remember, they've been doing this for 500 years!" the fund said.

The horses' food, water and other supplies have been stocked up at the farm.
They have extra hay and grain, and their troughs are filled with water. They also have ID tags braided into their manes, and the herd manager will ride out the storm at the farm with them, the Fund said.
Jo Langone, chief operating officer for the fund, said the horses were in good shape on Thursday evening.
More than 1 million people in parts of South Carolina and North Carolina are under mandatory evacuation orders, forecasters said.
Hurricane Dorian's core approached the Carolina coasts on Thursday. Downtown Charleston was experiencing flooding as a result of the storm, which is expected to continue north on Friday.
Despite the dangers from the storm, the 100 or so wild horses in the area are resourceful and have an incredibly strong will to live, herd manager Meg Puckett said during Hurricane Florence last year.

The place I plan to stay announced this morning that they suffered little damage and are open for business. Hopefully the road to Hatteras Island will reopen soon. Should be interesting sea life to see and beach combing. Hurricanes tend to bring in birds from far south and wash stuff in from the Gulf Stream.

Yea, like several bricks of cocaine that washed up in FL, about 30lb worth.

How much time has he spent arguing with the world over this? What is wrong with him? (rhetorical question)

Rhetorical? Bah, let's paint the picture.

Loss of perspective.

We all know that he is a narcissist, but he is a senile old narcissist who couldn't possibly see the forest from the trees. There is a big gaping hole in the President's cognitive abilities. It leads to him living in his own little world where this all makes sense to him. Compounded by the part where he has secluded himself away, surrounded by sycophants who function as "yes men".

It's all entirely human, we all seek this out to a certain degree. But Trump's deviation from normal is, on order of magnitude, enough to blot out the sun.
