Pelosi and her husband have a significant investment in tuna packing in Samoa. In fact, Queen Nancy inserted a special clause in the last bill that raised the minimum wage exempting the tuna canneries in Samoa from the new minimum wage.

They’re under a watch now. I imagine they’ll see what happens out at Midway and then issue a warning - would still give them at least couple of hours or so (1300 miles, tsunamis travel about 450 mph or so).

5PM eastern.

Nope, that's 7pm eastern.

Pulling this trigger takes 2.
