You know who you sound like?

Richard Nixon: "Well when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."

By your logic he also subsumes the IRS, so would you be okay if he took his sharpie to your tax returns?

Aside from the fact that he may have broken a law, which his supporters don't seem to mind, call me crazy but I have a little issue with a POTUS who acts like a 3 year old.
The same place where it declares that the agency itself cannot alter its own maps.

Trump is the head of the agency. His office subsumes their office. Whatever he wants to do to one of their maps is within his purview - they serve at his pleasure, not vice versa. The tail of the snake doesn't bite the head.

If the president alters a map, that map is not altered. It is work product.

The conjobs did the exact same thing - a raucus "tan suit gate" thread started by *** jim recently celebrated the many over-reactions of the right to Obama's every move. How he bowed, what he wore, how much time he spent golfing - these were all fodder for the OMG-mill.
The left is merely proving they are just as stupid as the right.
Except none of those things were illegal.
And none of them caused any panic by the people in one state who believed that they were going to get hit by a hurricane.

Lol nobody at all panicked. Not a single person. I'm sure most people in Alabama watch TV and were quite aware where the storm was. Now you're just being asinine.

First of all, that sounds like ****.
And secondly promoting a false weather report could be dangerous and cause chaos to the people who falsely believe that they are in the path of a hurricane.

In the path of a hurricane? So you're working on the premise that Alabama has no TV, no Internet, no newspapers, nothing. None have been watching this storm for the 6 **** days the media has been blathering on about it?

Yeah, Ima sit here and secretly think that's stretching victimhood to the max - a shopworn democrat trick. It implicitly pretends that causing a panic was trump's motive - that he wasn't just incorrect, but evil. Snidely "the weatherman" Whiplash evil. I'm not gonna say that outright. I'm just gonna secretly think it.

Edit: Dammit, I guess I said it outright. :evil:

If the path was the same they would be bitching it is his fault they did think of AL.

And you know that how?
You know every person in Alabama?
Do you think maybe some of them went out and bought a bunch of food and water that they didn't need?

But Trump said that it was headed their way.
Are you saying that we can't rely on what our own president tells us?

And besides, we all know that the media is FAKE News, right?
Trump said so.

It's Alabama Lucifer.
Not exactly the brightest people in the country.
(I hope Crimson doesn't see that.)

Besides, they believe everything the orange skidmark tells them.

You know what I can't figure out?
Why are you okay with a POTUS pulling a childish stunt like this?

You know what would have prevented this whole thing?
All he had to do was go on Twitter and say that when he Tweeted that on Sept. 1st he was still under the impression that Dorian might hit Alabama, but that he was wrong about that.

That would have been the end of it.

But the manchild in the WH is totally incapable of admitting that he may have been wrong about anything.
Now it's coming back to bite him in the ***.

P.S. This is what the spaghetti map looked like the day before he Tweeted that Alabama would be hit by the storm.

I guess he was too busy golfing and rage Tweeting to check out the most recent version instead of relying on one that was 4 days old.

This is what happens when the POTUS uses a sharpie to alter a weather map.
The Twitterverse is laughing at him.
