What's the matter with some people? Now some people are blaming the company that made the torches the white supremacists used in Charlottesville. So we do we need to find out what brand of matches they used to light them, so we can make a big fuss about that? And if the KKK wears sheets, do we need to find out what company made the sheets?
A lot of people on both sides are using recent events to indulge their animalistic instincts to find any excuse to attack.

If you don't believe science or news, disregard the hurricane warnings, stay in place, and pray. Isn't whatever happens to you God's will?
Good thing there are experience government employees at federal agencies like FEMA, since Trump has not bother to fill posts.
Anybody want to take my bet that Texas will ask for federal funds to help with the results of hurricane Harvey?
