In 20 years he went from noun, a verb and 9/11 to a noun, a verb and a pile of shit.

This is a weird defence of Republicans as to why Brennan should be stripped of security clearance..

On Sunday, national security adviser John Bolton echoed the claim when he told ABC’s This Week: “A number of people have commented that [Brennan] couldn’t be in the position he’s in of criticizing President Trump and his so-called collusion with Russia unless he did use classified information.”

Essentially 'hey, if it weren't for access to classified information there'd be no way Brennan would know Trump is guilty of collusion..'

Strip his critics of security clearance and they can't testify as expert witnesses on the Russia interference. Clearly the behavior of an innocent man.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

I aim to teach it as it happened... assuming we ever actually find out what happened. All I know is the fake news classes are going to be damn interesting.

Twelve tweets about the Mueller probe and its effects the past three days. He's really, really obsessed by it. Way to go -- keep him occupied! He won't stop trying to destroy the United States, but maybe he'll crack up and end up in a padded cell, just as that Scottish guy wanted! At least he won't bitch about something else this time!

Donnie fancies himself a mobster and Mueller made a career out of mob prosecutions. It's like a vampire waking up one night to find out Wesley Snipes just moved in next door.

You know what? I just remembered that Trump is very much a like a certain late Mayor of my State Capital, Vincint "Buddy" Cianci, who I learned about in my first semester of College. Despite getting in trouble with the law multiple times, people still liked him and re-elected him. Of course Buddy was far more likable and than Trump and wasn't racist, but the resemblance in the cult like support and show biz personality is uncanny.

I carry a respirator, and a soak kit so that if we encounter asbestos based panelling we can soak it and then cut through it to cut down on the dust it raises. Even still we have to wear a fat bulky respirator to avoid breathing the stuff that does get kicked up.

Not to mention that all this extra steps generally occur in 130 degree heat, meaning that what should be a ten minute process in that heat is more like a thirty-forty minute process.

It begs questioning but who actually wanted asbestos back? Installation of the material is probably going to be prohibitively expensive due to equipment you'd need for safety precautions and it's still got a bad reputation in the eyes of pretty much everyone, so people would be hesitant to use it regardless in case someone finds out.

Honestly it seems like they brought it back just to be dicks.

Probably nobody, there's cheaper and more readily available alternatives for like 99% of asbestos uses anyhow.
