Trump Derangement Syndrome

Its too open to corruption imo.
My reading of it is that they’re precluded from considering the effects of it being in the air and can only consider the effects of direct contact.

Thing is, direct contact with asbestos is perfectly safe and it’s having it in the air that may kill you.

So it’s a bit like saying bullets are completely safe since handling them causes no harm at all. Never mind that bit about being hit by one at high velocity.

Cigarettes also are very safe so long as you’re only touching it and don’t inhale the smoke.

Etc.
 
Vladimir Putin is globally recognised as a thug, murderer and enemy of the Western world, now all of a sudden Trump fans have decided he's an alright bloke....based on what? Donald Trump's twitter feed? Similar story with Jong-un.

His supporters have been successfully brainwashed.
 
The formal EPA document - I think. The full discussion for asbestos starts at page 217.

https://www.epa.gov/asbestos/federal-register-notice-proposed-snur-asbestos

The effect seems to be to significantly narrow the scope of EPA reviews:

EPA does not plan to evaluate emission pathways to ambient air from
commercial and industrial stationary sources or associated inhalation exposure of the general
population or terrestrial species

Could have been written by a James Hardie executive.
 
Omarosa is making big waves. Not just the accusations which of course can be simply dismissed as lies (just like the 20 plus women who Donald Trump didn't abuse.) but the tapes that provide the evidence for the accusations.

This is pretty potent.

Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former White House aide, has released fresh audio recordings that she claims show she was offered “hush money” by Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.

... In the call, Lara Trump, who has a senior role in Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, offers Manigault Newman a job that would pay $180,000 a year in exchange for occasionally attending meetings in New York and doing “speaking engagements”.

Lara Trump said in the phone conversation that “it sounds a little, like, obviously, that there are some things you’ve got in the back pocket to pull out”. However, she noted that if Mangault Newman joined the campaign, everything she would say about Trump would have to be “positive”.

Manigault Newman, a former Apprentice contestant who was once the most prominent African American in the Trump administration, told MSNBC she saw the offer as “an attempt to buy my silence, censor me and pay me off – $15,000 a month”.

Trump calling her "a dog" on Twitter was as low as you can get.

He's a true ar$ehole.

In a country that lets its people die from exposure to all kinds of chemicals, I'm against a double down with asbestos.

It's only bad if you breathe it in. So as long as you're in a well filtered limo, live by the seaside and away from any sort of construction or labour work... what's the harm?

You heard of cases where industrial-scale pig farming got creative with the waste and dead carcasses?

They collect it into a big pond... let the sun does its work. But that's too slow so they started spraying it into the air. Stinking and polluting neighbours miles away. A few got sick... meh... people gotta eat right? What's breakfast without bacon [says, literally, a freaking US morning show host covering that story].

Greed is good.

Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President

William H. McRaven, a retired Navy admiral, was commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014. He oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Dear Mr. President:

Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him.

Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.

Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs.

A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself.

Your leadership, however, has shown little of these qualities. Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.

If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken. The criticism will continue until you become the leader we prayed you would be.

A couple more admin like Trump's and I can just see an American Julius Caesar or two crossing the Potomac to save the republic.
 
Great development, revokation of leftist security clearances to match the deplatforming of center left, center, center right, and right.
