At the time of this writing, the National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center reports Eye of category 5 Dorian moving little while over Grand Bahama island. That page also contains several other views and forecasts of the storm.
Though it no longer looks like Florida will get a "direct hit", the storm's currently-predicted run up the US Atlantic coast promises storm surges, very heavy rain with potential flooding, and of course high winds.
For those who lie in the path of this beast, please accept my personal best wishes for you and your loved ones making it through safely.

And here the Democrats are poised to make the same mistake again. And once again the principled rank-and-file will do nothing about it but grumble and do what their masters tell them.
What the base should do is find a candidate like Trump who can triumph despite what the DNC wants. If the rigging still prevents that, then the base should walk and start a new party to flip the bird to the DNC Establishment.
It would be funny if the base resisted the DNC so hard that everything winds up in a brokered convention, with blue hairs clashing with Antifa and BLM storming the stage to seize the microphone. It would turn an eminently winnable election into an absolute clusterfuck.
Washington DC delenda est.

Even the "most socialist" candidate has a history of siding with wall street banksters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNuHRyip3iA [youtube.com]
So don't think it matters much in the long run.

Which ought to tell you a lot about who owns your country, and what they use you for.

They used me to torture small animals to come up with fake drugs they could charge desperate people millions of dollars for. I no longer work for the government after that...
