The weather this summer has been crazy, right? So many shockingly strong storms, flash flooding, and extreme heat waves all over the country. But global warming is a hoax invented by the Chinese, right? Right. I’ve been surprised that America hasn’t been hit with any major hurricanes, but let’s be real: Hurricane Season is far from over, and considering the sh-t pile of the past two years, we’ll probably get hit with something soon. Speaking of, the National Hurricane Center announced a new named tropical storm in the Carribean yesterday. Tropical Storm Don. Don is “small” and “not particularly well organized,” according to the National Hurricane Center. Cough.
There’s a tweet storm over Tropical Storm Don, which has formed in the Atlantic east of the Caribbean. Though it may be a complete coincidence that the storm bears a common nickname for Donald, many on social media could not help but be reminded of the most famous Donald: the President of the United States.
National Hurricane Center spokesman Dennis Feltgen confirmed to the Associated Press that the storm name was not a political choice.
“I hadn’t even thought about that. I guarantee you that it has no connection to Donald Trump,” said Max Mayfield, the former National Hurricane Center director who chaired the committee that added the name Don to the storm list in 2006.
Meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center described Tropical Storm Don as “small,” “not particularly well organized,” and expected to dissipate within 72 hours after encountering unfavorable conditions.
Meteorologists also insist that Tropical Storm Don has tiny little baby fists, a weak handshake and a combover. The National Hurricane Center sent out an alert that a massive (tweet)storm is coming.
Tropical Storm Don will tell you how much damage it will do and then fizzle out and blame Hurricane Hillary.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALM THE F DOWN ABOUT TROPICAL STORM DON!
It's not going to do any damage.
It's just here to discuss adoptions.

lol..Anyways sorry im so late to the party and excuse my ignorance I have been meaning to ask for months. Exactly what does Bigly mean???
During one of baby fist’s many speeches he referred to something as “big league”. Because he is no orator it came out sounding like “bigly”. Hence, giving all of us something more to goof on.
Ohhh thanks Ashamed…by the time his term is up,im sure there will be a whole book of his gaffs.
@Loopy. During Reagan’s presidency a videotape was released called The Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan. It was a blank tape. I can see a similar for Dumpster.
Remember he told us he “knows big words”. So bigly is a big word, I have to look 👀 it up, just kidding.
@Jerusha. Given how venerated St. Ronald of the Trickle Down Economics and St. Nancy of the “War on Drugs” are in some circles today, that does surprise me. Then again, my late mother raised in a very red state and from a very Republican family, became a Democrat during the Reagan years because his first budget cut the one of the grant programs she used to pay for college. She blamed him for having student debt.
I’m in my 30s and the GWB presidency was the first one that I recall being notable as a target for political satire. Then again, it was mostly Bush and Cheney as targets. I don’t recall Ari Fleischer, one of his press secretaries, Alberto Gonzalez, John Ashcroft, or whoever was his secretary of education being satirized in the same way that Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Jeff Sessions, and Betsy DeVos have been over the past 6 months.
Kelly, I tend to think the players in the Bush administration weren’t satirized as much as the Trump goons because they seemed to have at least a modicum of experience and competence, however evil their agendas may have been. And they didn’t reflexively scream “fake news” at any unfavorable reporting. Not did they seem to want to utterly destroy our free press, intelligence agencies and other institutions the way our current administration does.
He has the vocabulary of a third grade brat
Can’t believe that we have a president who doesn’t speak with real words. It’s so covfefe
There’s someone who should not wear hats. I thought he was ugly before, but now…yowsah.
Just as bad as when he wore a coal miners hat during the campaign. Ridiculous and ugly
LOL!
He is so proud to be a celebrity! He’s posing in a Stetson for the cameras! Lookin’ fly!
Still can’t believe he is POTUS. Head of state. Commander-in-chief.
Also, shout out to a commenter yesterday who called him “Donnie Two Scoops.” I was CACKLING.
Me too, – still can’t call him president – I just say Trump
I can’t even manage to give him a capital t when I type his name. That is how little respect I have for trump. He is a national nightmare.
I call him 45, the 🤥 liar in chief, or 2 scoops Donny.
I can’t either. I will never be able to call him President _____. I rarely even use his name. I don’t even refer to him as 45. I’m holding out hope that someday the lists of POTUSes will say 45*
*resigned in disgrace / impeached for treason, obstruction of justice, or any number of crimes / abducted by aliens and forgotten about.
I can’t call him President either, but I do think I could get used to calling him Hurricane Don.
baby fists (lower case)
It is the insult that has plagued and bothered him the longest. (That I’m aware of) and no upper case for this dick. ever. Thank you, Graydon Carter
Hey, that was me, HH. I figure that if it looks like a mafia don, acts like a mafia don and eats like a mafia don, he really must be a mafia Don. Hence, Donnie Two Scoops, the chocolate cake and ice cream king of Mar-a-Lago. #FakePresident
Chrissy, you reminded me to watch GOODFELLAS for the sixth time [at least].
I.LOVE.IT. I had never even thought of him like that.
These are the moments I’m so grateful for the internet. I’m having a terrible week proceeded by the fact that this bigly mistake is still in office. I need twitter today.
He makes me sick . God, I can’t even look at him and be civil . A total ahole .
I came to laugh at that ass in a hat, but stayed to side-eye the hell out of the National Hurricane Center. “Small and not well organized” indeed lol.
Awwww!!! Look at him play cowboy! Keep up the good work, Bigly!🙄
The only one who should be wearing a Stetson is U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. If he saw that orange carpetbagger wearing a Stetson he’d become triggerhappy again.
😍😍😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As Raylan would say, that’s 20 gallons of shit in a 10 gallon hat.
LOL! Love Raylan! Shoot first, ask questions later.
Now imagine Boyd adding his comment.
Also Raylan is in Florida now, I’d like to see him take care of the Trump thugs in the only way he knows.
I just remembered the actual quote is “That’s a 10 gallon hat on a 20 gallon head” but I think my original interpretation is more appropriate.
Boyd would destroy him, and so easily too.
Now I really want to re-watch Justified.
Boyd would be a good fit for a job in the Federal government under the Trump administration. Maybe a post in a Kentucky ATF area?
Raylan, Art and the rest of the Marshalls would have a hard time as decent, competent people working for the Feds now.
I’d be the best JR Ewing, no one would be a better JR than me.
Lol, hahahahaha
He looks rediculous in the cowboy hat
He looks better in the hat than in that truck a while ago. He looked like a four year old.
I’d bet my last cheeto that the storm was originally named Donald.
So will this tropical storm swing around for a quick visit to Russia before inflicting damage on the US?
I would love to put he and his Stetson on my horse when she’s in a foul mood. Giddyup!
So what puts a horse in a foul mood? Is it bees, no attention, late breakfast, all those oats and no stud? What exactly pisses a horse off?
One of my cats woke me up 16 times last night wanting attention. When he jumped on my bed again at 5:30 this morning I told him rather firmly to get down. It was a first and he hissed at me in response. I had to laugh.
Is he going to give the compounds back to Russia? You know, so Putin won’t release tapes?🙄
He always said he had more energy and stamina than Hillary, because according to him,she had none. I think he lied to his knucklehead supporters! If he was low-energy, he’d be riding in golf carts at meetings instead of walking like everyone else ….
The picture of his bleached barf blonde hair blowing in the wind always cracks me up. Maybe he should tape it down like he does with his ties on breezy days
I always wonder why the hair at the side of his head always looks sweaty and wet. I can just imagine the smell. No wonder MT wants to keep him at a distance. The smell must be stifling.
It’s probably all the hair glue and gel trying to keep his gross hair down
Some things maybe worth knowing: the tropical storm nomenclature is made a couple of years in advance by NOAA; storm season starts whenever, as it requires oceans that are over 26C; hurricans/cyclones/typhoons don’t just affect the USA, they occur all over the world and most of them are unnoticed by the US media and its citizens. Scientists don’t yet know how climate change affects the onset of tropical storms, their intensity and occurrence, so I appeal to commin sense and the opportunity to quickly do research on aforementioned topics so as not to unnecessarily raise panic and spin the truth.
Who’s raising panic? We’re laughing at the Joke-in-Chief.
😂🤣 “raise panic”
from the article above: “Max Mayfield, the former National Hurricane Center director who chaired the committee that added the name Don to the storm list in 2006.”
“most of them are unnoticed by the US media and its citizens” This is not true. When a storm or any other sort of natural disaster causes damage or takes lives, the media does cover it, many US citizens are informed about it. Certainly more US media coverage is devoted to disasters happening on US soil, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the world is ignored.
Loving the shade of the National Weather Service.
Trump and the GOP have made this country a joke. We are right where the Russians want us. The King of Fake News is always whining that CNN is spreading fake news, yet yesterday he was spreading fake news. Yesterday he claimed that he brought in 50,000 coal mining jobs. Fact checkers said that he brought in 800 and that many of the deals he is taking credit for, were done during Obama’s administration. He also claimed that he signed more bills in his 6 months than any other president. That too was a lie. Fact checkers found that he signed about 30 something bills and that the majority of that bills didn’t have a major impact and were useless. They listed about 6 other presidents who had signed more bills than Trump. They also pointed out how Trump has signed a lot of bills undoing what Obama did. How is this acceptable? This is the standard? A president who can’t tell the truth if he was offered a billion dollars to do so. When will enough be enough?
When Trump says these things, he isn’t talking to his base. The press needs to stop spreading these falsehoods. Trumps says these things for himself and he knows that there won’t be any consequences for his actions. He lies and lies and the GOP just look the other way.
I wish the press would also stop saying that Trump’s base is standing strong. The NPR Declaration of Independence incident makes it more than obvious that the majority of Trump’s “base” are Russian bots.
Gotta say, that first paragraph was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read on this site.
I wonder if Palin could spot Hurricane Don from her window
