Visited lovely Southport, N.C., USA this morning where this restaurant is adapting to sea level rise by using a mobile walkway to let their customers cross the street without getting their feet wet during high tide.
Trump foreign policy: "When we sign a trade agreement with another country, we retain the right to renege at any time."

Trump domestic policy: "When we strike a budget agreement with the other party, we retain the right to renege at any time."

I blame Ronald Reagan. Idiots who believed him when he said, “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help” would naturally think that firing lots of government workers and appointing clowns to lead those remaining wouldn’t cause any problems.
