Goatman Sacks posted:If not for asbestos, what made the 9/11 wreckage so horribly unhealthy? Just all the atomized fiberglass insulation and stuff? Yeah generally a good combo of "all the bad things except radiation" quote:Much of the thousands of tons of debris resulting from the collapse of the Twin Towers was pulverized concrete, which is known to cause silicosis upon inhalation. The remainder consisted of more than 2,500 contaminants,[4] more specifically: 50% non-fibrous material and construction debris; 40% glass and other fibers; 9.2% cellulose; and 0.8% of the extremely toxic carcinogen asbestos, as well as detectable amounts of[5] lead, and mercury. There were also unprecedented levels of dioxins and PAHs from the fires which burned for three months

Even in a normal fire you can expect a certain amount of cyanide poisoning and carbon monoxide toxicity. But we're talking about two separate 100 story buildings. We probably won't know the full extend of the damage done to emergency workers for decades. Hence my dad and many of my friends have to go through a city evaluation for every health problem they have.

My favorite Trump tidbit in the last 24 hours is how he apparently distracted himself in the middle of an interview for one of the networks to watch himself speak during a pre-recorded Fox News segment. I bet he stares into every reflection.

Hillary easily defeats Trump in a fun house room of mirrors or just putting up a bunch of video screens showing footage of himself like Batman fighting clayface.

Given how badly they've hosed everything else up, a non-story about a previously-negotiated payment ordered by international court is precisely what I would expect Reince to pull out as an October surprise.

It is pretty dubious that these big companies and rich people would give money to an organization and then that organization would spend that money on "projects" to "bring people together" to "take on" things they call "challenges of the 21st century" Who needs proof when the facts are so obvious?

I dont think Trump will leave the race for two reasons: - It would be an admission of defeat which he seems pathologically incapable of doing. - He may have forgiven his loans, but there are still millions of dollars of campaign funds that can be thrown at Trump organizations.

EvanSchenck posted:...I'm sure his divorce settlements include non-disparagement clauses that would likely bar him from talking poo poo about them. They do. It's likely the main/only reason his first ex-wife changed her story about him raping her since even if it's true his lawyers would've made drat sure that any settlement involved walking back those comments. Arrgytehpirate posted:You really want someone Trump endorses over stereotypical republican who constantly gets clowned? Yes, because in closely held areas a full blown insane tea partier can (and has in the past) lose seats that the incumbent GOPe person would've held otherwise. Plus if the GOP leadership gets gutted badly enough that the GOP is divided in the House then either there won't be a Speaker or some in the GOP will say gently caress You to the fringe and side with the Democrats on a vote for Speaker.  zoux posted:Good skiiing though, so there's pros and cons.

Alright D&D, let's discuss something important: who most deserves to be ruined in the punditry following this election? Exhibit A: Katrina Pierson https://youtu.be/VAtxCRfU1g0 Exhibit B: Kayleigh McEnany https://youtu.be/rx9w4FeQBZc Say what you want about Anna Navarro, she's a smart woman who makes consistant arguments. These two? Wow. Also acceptable: Corey Lewandowski (gently caress you CNN) Boon fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Aug 3, 2016 |

Arrgytehpirate posted:What would happen if someone like Paul Ryan. Not Paul Ryan specifically because he's a giant pussy but a high ranking republican came out and said they were voting for Hillary? Would there be any consequence besides them getting primaried? Hilary would use their statement in attack ads against down ticket Republicans across the country. Especially any who endorsed Trump at any point in time, including Paul Ryan. Arrgytehpirate posted:I wish Twitter would ban Trump because lmao that would be the best meltdown ever The meltdown from Clinton's campaign would be just as big.
