On Wednesday, President Donald Trump displayed a National Weather Service map in the Oval Office showing Hurricane Dorian's cone of uncertainty (the probable paths of its center). The map had been crudely altered with a Sharpie to extend the cone into Alabama in an attempt to align the map with the president's earlier tweet falsely claiming that the hurricane was forecast to hit the state.

Until this week, few Americans knew that a provision in the U.S. Code titled "False weather reports" makes it a crime to falsely claim the authority of government weather science


Where's old bug eyed Adam Schiff? He's finally got his grounds for impeachment.

New Trump tweet. No text, just a short video.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1170089069105340416

HILARIOUS!! POTUS trolls CNN (w/ don lemon) with a clip of them talking about how Alabama is in the path of the storm. Video ends with the CNN logo crashing and burning.

A great way to end the week spending 28 seconds watching POTUS PWN CNN.

It's getting to the point that calling it the land of fruits and nuts, doesn't quite cover it.

FYI, early forecast tracks had it going there. Then they shifted it. It happens.

Then I guess the MSM is in trouble because they impersonate weatherpersons and journalists hourly.

The writer, jamie pietruska, is a professorette of “Uncertainty” at Rutgers. They didn’t offer that when I was in school.
