The "plot" thickens?

WILBUR ROSS 'NEEDS TO RESIGN NOW' IF HE THREATENED TO FIRE TOP NOAA OFFICIALS FOR TWEET CONTRADICTING TRUMP ON HURRICANE DORIAN, DEMOCRAT SAYS

After the alleged intervention by Ross, NOAA issued a statement, credited to nobody, undermining the forecasters in the NWS Birmingham office.

"From Wednesday, August 28, through Monday, September 2, the information provided by NOAA and the National Hurricane Center to President Trump and the wider public demonstrated that tropical-storm-force winds from Hurricane Dorian could impact Alabama," the statement said.

"The Birmingham National Weather Service's Sunday morning tweet spoke in absolute terms that were inconsistent with probabilities from the best forecast products available at the time."

That statement, the Times reported, is now under examination by the Commerce Department's Office of Inspector General.


A "statement" credited to "nobody"...a sharpie drawing also credited to "nobody"......

DJT has been downgraded to "nobody"?

Just a bunch of Trump hating "nattering nabobs of negativity" who are so much lesser than our President anyway. Nothing more than yappy dogs across the fence, trying to get some attention.
