A person would have to be a real dope to thing the Mexican president would just be saying "OK."

Haha. You just called Trump a real dope.

How? Trump himself suggested it might have to be indirect via a tax on remittances. This suggests he knows it will not be an easy thing.

Like I said, the dopes are the people who think that Trump was going to fly down, give him a bill, and come back with a check. I suspect they are the same dopes who thought Obamacare was their free health care and would cover everyone. Seen the news on that one lately?

Former Congressman Joe Walsh:

You know, if @realDonaldTrump comes back from Mexico tomorrow with a big check from Mexico to pay for the wall...that's game, set, match.

I agree, Joe Walsh is a dope.

Feeling Hurricane Hermine in Tampa
Between bands right now so just a light drizzle and no wind
Last band through knocked over some trash containers
I was very surprised.
These are pretty heavy duty provided by the county

Feeling Hurricane Hermine in Tampa

Skeetobite weather failed me but some storm2k types let me know the surge indications are for one foot well north of Tampa. Tampa Bay is not in the forecast zone at all. I don't know if sailings of the Fort Myers Craps Boat will be affected.. Just found out that the Ft. Myers Craps Boat permanently closed.

I'm pretty much in the red zone. Not much to report but rain so far.

Major Chinese corporation with 30 Billion in assets goes bankrupt shipping in disarray as container ships are stranded and trucking companies in USA fear lack of cargoes as ports deny entry and unloading to container ships and importers fear non payment.

As with many Chinese companies it was a bunch of friends from the army who went capitalist big time with family members as 'fronts' so that power could be enjoyed and wealth gained but not lost thru Chinese Retribution or Corruption.

It seems the entire Board of Directors of the now bankrupt corporation is a maze of interlocking "white gloves", the Chinese term for a shareholder who is really just a remote family member acting as a puppet for non disclosed beneficial owners. Many of the directors are in fact peasants.

Qantas dings college coed four thousand dollars for in-flight refusal to sit down during her protest over a Tamil's rendition to Sri Lanka from Melbourne. Claim is it added costs and schedule delays.

Apparently unaware of the Streisand Effect, Melania Trump has opted to sue the Daily Mail for publishing rumors that prior to meeting Donald she worked as a call girl for an escort agency run by Paolo Zampolli. (The Streisand Effect occurs when a celebrity files a lawsuit to prevent the media from publishing unflattering news. As Barbara Streisand herself can attest, the lawsuit inevitably backfires because the unflattering news spreads as the media covers the lawsuit.)

The media has been covering the lawsuit, but hasn't really dug into the sordid details of Zampolli's past. Melania acknowledges she worked as a photo model for Zampolli's agency, but insists that she never prostituted herself. Surely it couldn't be too hard to find a wealthy John who could confirm that Zampolli was indeed a pimp. Zampolli is a close friend of Bill Clinton, maybe someone could ask Bill?

This was Hillary today, the healthiest person
to ever run according to her doctor. She's
had this cough for 2 years and it's getting
worse. Made my day, she sounds 90 years
old as she croaks along. No wonder she
hides so much, I would hide too. Watch
Kaine in the background, he's wondering
why he attached himself to Typhoid Hillary
in the first place.

'An NBC reporter remarked that this coughing fit is “the worst one I can remember.” '
