"Nobody should underestimate how much Manafort did to get this campaign to where it is right now"

"Nobody should underestimate how much Paul Manafort did to get this campaign to where it is right now.” @newtgingrich







Don't worry. In November, we won't.

That bunch of real experts, music, coffee, chocolate, a few good friends and family members and some occasional extra good food are what keep me sane these days....and of course, all the fine folks on DU! Professor Tribe is indeed an American jewel.

You guys have suffered enough hell lately! Lane has veered a bit to the north and has strengthed. Will hold Hawaii close in our thoughts and meditations the next few days. The ocean gonna get a hell of dose of ash, acid and glass fines from volcanic residues. Hope all your population can get sheltered safely from flooding, wind and landslides.

You're probably familiar with this one, but for others sake.....

I'm hoping for the Best for The Big Island.. they have been through hell on Hilo side.

We're up on Kauai so we'll see what happens on Thursday..


"While the storm has gained strength over the past day and its winds are only 7 mph shy of Category 5 strength, the hurricane center predicts it will begin slowly weakening over the next 24 hours due to increasing wind shear, which would disrupt thunderstorm development.

However, the storm has attained an annular structure, meaning its large eye is surrounded by a single, uniform ring of thunderstorms. Just 4% of hurricanes and typhoons are annular, and they are known for their staying power, weakening more slowly under unfavorable conditions compared with conventional storms."

Good detailed article.. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-hawaii-hurricane-lane-20180821-story.html#
