5.1 Magnitude Earthquake Hits North Carolina For First Time Since 1916 | MSNBC
America has been on shaky ground since 2016
*Trump rescued America from the economic oblivion under Obama*
April 2019 https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/441196-trump-rescued-america-from-the-economic-oblivion-under-obama
*Even in the midst of the economic boom America is enjoying under the stewardship of Donald Trump, Democratic candidates are suggesting we return to the failed policies of Barack Obama. Since President Trump took office two years ago, the national economic engine has been roaring, generating widespread prosperity across every corner of the country.*
@Colin Mahoney Hillary lost man get help
@Hard Rocker Nobody cares about Hillary anymore you moron 🙄 maybe YOU should get help
@Hard Rocker
How very tRumpish of you!
if you have any active brain Cells left why don’t you give acting President tRump acouple of them!
But don’t just give the moron just one because the one you give him would die from loneliness within the ist 24 hours!
however do you realise that you don’t have to be bran dead to support tRump!
But if you are not brain dead why would you?
@Colin Mahoney Hillary lost let it go 😷🙈
Daily Reminder: Trump said Covid-19 was a Democrat hoax that will miraculously disappear.

@think correctly So 5 democrats plus mario lopes that is 6 people here in just around half an hour who do not know how to do basic math.
5 million cases and 163,000 dead Americans and he’s still saying it.
@Hudfarvet er Dansk
Basic math? Dude, you can’t even count.
God’s wrath against the antichrist president.
You do know folks that most of the solar system major bodies are on one side of the sun for bit , and we’re third inline in between it all getting ‘stretch armstronged’ .
I’m not religious, but there have been times I’ve wondered if he somehow soaks up the hatred he inspires and is empowered by it. Like a demon feeding.
Soft Breezy Day Quit trying to understand an all powerful being. God can blink and your lifetime would of been past a million times over.
@rolan4 dezwinz 🥱🙄😴
@Stephen Harrison it will be stronger
Is anyone surprised that insurance companies wouldn’t cover structural damage to your home if you sign an agreement to have fracking done on your property.
No dah; why would a insurance cover damage for something you intentionally damaged your property? It’s like getting insurance coverage for fire damage; and then you poured fuel on your home and threw a match into it.
Yeah, those policy holders are surprised. The rest of us, well, we saw that coming.
@rolan4 dezwinz
Intentionally damaged?
Fox News hear : Obama did this
Obama’s smoking pot with Michael in his ocean front mansion. Probably writing more race baiting political speeches like in John Lewis’s eulogy
Obama’s tan suit and Hillary’s emails caused fracking.
Japan be like: That’s cute
What??
Indonesia: go outside for checking and then continued for sleeping😂👍🏽
By the way 1 volcano errupting a few a go, and its free rich-organic fertilizer😂👍🏽
Bryan Hernandez it depends how far or deep .
@Mic Little 5.1 magnitide only caused by eroded and moving soil, be carefull sometime it will mske a holes too when your soil has eroded.
No, they don’t say that. Only a moron would say that. I don’t think they thought it was cute when a massive amount of them died.
California……..Wah?
Trump: We’re going back school, we’re gonna frack like there’s no tomorrow.
North Carolina: Hold my earthquake.
Jesus is coming regardless who is president all that is happening is written in the Bible
@AADSTLC 😆 okay. That has been said since the time that cult leader Jesus was killed. That would be over 2000 years. If you read the Bible you would know he was wrong. This is his words.
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.“ (Matthew 24: 25-34) 2300 years ago. I would say his audience is pretty much dust and bones.
The world is upside down right now eathquakes on the east coast and religious people thinking the immoral Trump is great, upside down!
What house trump done that’s immoral ? I bet you watch cnn huh 🤔
@COD GOD Pro Life response to 160,000 dead Americans from Covid: “It is what it is.”
@COD GOD So when CNN reports EXACTLY WHAT TRUMP SAYS that makes it fake news, huh? Trump supporters really are in a cult. Deny reality if it goes against what Dear Leader wants!
@COD GOD You don’t know the meaning of “immoral”- which is typical of the low-IQ trumpers.
*Savior Obama’s lame economy limps along*
April 2016 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/savior-obamas-lame-economy-limps-along
*Thursday’s numbers suggest yet again that Obama will end eight years in office without presiding over a thriving economy of the sort America enjoyed in the past. It also suggests that even the mediocre growth of recent years depended on high oil prices, which have collapsed by more than half.*
This is the bitter fruit of creationist economics, the erroneous belief that government activity can somehow conjure new wealth and value.
Obama clings to the belief he brought with him into office, that he can legislate and regulate economic activity into existence. He promoted and signed a much-touted stimulus law that gave taxpayers’ money to items on a Democratic wish list and to well-connected businesses, while doling out microscopic tax refunds to some workers. Beyond that, Obama’s economic policy has consisted of imposing greater burdens on business in the form of labor rulings, environmental regulations, and mandates that increase the cost of job creation.
Higher minimum wages, new mandatory health costs, obligatory paid leave, and new powers for corrupt labor unions all hamper economic growth. For workers to get a larger piece of pie, the pie must grow. And right now, it is growing by only five thousandths per year.
Trump’s team is already looking to spin this as Dems fault.
@Strange Wayfaring Stranger The seismologists must be never Trumpers.
Their *fault* … hahaha, I see what you did there.
wrote something similar before seeing this – I’m obviously not the only one who had that thought… LMAO
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Its an opinion piece from the fake news media, Now to do to your self what you would love to do to dems.
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Funny there is the word opinion in the link hahaha
In California we’re used to this, not saying it doesn’t startle me every time since they’re so random and unpredictable but there’s nothing you can really do about it but continue to do whatever you were doing and hope the aftershock isn’t bigger… Totally understand how this could have really frightened people who aren’t exposed to earthquakes as frequent as Cali though.
in cali 5.1 doesn’t even make the news
America: 2020 can’t get any worse.
Mother Nature: Hold my beer.
Jesus is coming. All that is happening is written in the Bible. It’s not Mother Nature it’s is called birth pains and it will only get worst.
@AADSTLC Sorry if you are still here on earth; Jesus already came and left. 😞
@AADSTLC Nope, grass still not cut.
Trump: hold my reelection 😂 Putin : yes comrade.
@AADSTLC Shut up you religious nutjob
President Trump is not lucky for America and American people’s
He isn’t we must rid ourselves of this evil.
“It is what it is” New American motto.
@Logan McLean lol nut cases
@AADSTLC Jesus is dead, And he is never coming back, Heck He never revived in the first place that is a fairy tale that was done out of guilt, If he even existed in the first place.
AADSTLC coming where?
And that’s just before the next hurricane!
There will be earthquakes in one place and another wars and reports of wars…
And pestilences Luke 21:11
People saying it’s a small quake compared to California. Yes, it is. But NC isn’t known for getting any earthquakes this big. It has been over 100 years.
@Aldo Salgado Considering climate change…I’m afraid the weather patterns could shift enough that even California would unfortunately also get hit with the occasional hurricane or two. 😔
@El Ram something might happen if our planet continues moving like this, might move the magnetics pole of earth and that should be catastrophic in every aspect.
California has earthquake building codes in place. Kinda like 22 years ago to this day, San Diego had a record breaking heat wave, Couldn’t buy a fan, Not at all prepared.
@Aldo Salgado Yes, I think we’re overdue for one of those as well.
Last thing I heard according to science, is that they happen every so many years and that we’re already within such timeframes.
Any way we see it; considering all the mayhem and pandemic, civil and social unrest, terrible and ineffective governments, giant, more powerful storms etc, etc – these are troublesome times.
@the other 1 Yeap, it’s those subtle but consistent changes that indicate something greater to come. When? Who knows for sure. But as you wisely recognized; humanity’s not as ready as we think we are.
I think the Earth is done with us. Hurricanes, earthquakes, viruses, Trump.
Put us out of our misery😩😩😩😢!!!!
2020 is full of weird surprises 😭
It’s like the earth is trying to treat itself of an infection… of humans.
*Biden Proposing Largest Tax Hike in History*
July 9, 2020 https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/biden-proposing-largest-tax-hike-in-history/
*Since wrapping up the Democratic Party nomination in March, Biden has done the opposite of what you’d think and resisted any urge to tack back toward the center on economic matters. A CNBC reporter, Robert Frank, looked into Biden’s tax hikes and noted that they dwarf Hillary Clinton’s.*
*He put the total tax cost of Clinton’s proposals at $1.5 trillion; Biden’s, at $4 trillion.*
(The details are here.) Biden’s “unity task force” of economic advisers and environmental activists was staffed not to appeal to the center but to placate supporters of Bernie Sanders by including two Sanders aides and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Biden is now talking about using the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to “rewrite the economy,” recalling Rahm Emanuel’s wish to “never let a crisis go to waste.”
Just wait till Xmas.
Nature has a way of showing just how puny humans are, and we’re seeing a lot of that lately.
Not me, I walk all over nature everyday.
Giant Orange Turd seen leaving the area shortly before the earthquake hit.
The Chosen One stays and commands the earthquake to go away
‘seen landing in the area’
In the last 4 years: earthquakes, massive wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, pandemic. Mother Nature is NOT happy. The world needs to slow down, stop chasing the dollar, and start reconnecting to nature and to each other.
TheKyubiisaan God forbid anyone actually encourage something positive in this world. You might just be the first person who needs a hug.
D M I agree with everything you said it just came off sorta hippie ish
@cbapiaz Aliens came last year.
Well we are still better off than the poor dinosaurs 🦕 ☄️
@Logan McLean Nothing, but suppose, oh, 20% of the “defense” budget the last twenty years (that would come to around $2 trillion, I guess) had been put into earthquake prediction or pandemic preparedness or clean energy. Just saying…
“earthquakes in diverse places…” Soon.
