But Reagan sat through a recession which is probably his fault, plus Iran-Contra was during his term and not after.

Really, Reagan being remembered so fondly is really bizarre when you think about it.

The recession was a needed market correction to stop overwhelming inflation. Iran-Contra was more of Oliver North's doing anyway, but it stopped the commies.

“Let’s face it: Most children are more aware of the benefits and pitfalls of social media than some adults. In today’s global society, social media is an inevitable part of our children’s daily lives. It can be used in many positive ways, but can also be destructive and harmful when used incorrectly.”

Melania Trump speaking at a Conference on Cyberbullying.

She should know.

In addition..

Donald Trump says he fears that an interview with the special counsel Robert Mueller would be a “perjury trap”..

i.e. he might have to tell the truth..

..while pointing out that he could “run” the Russia investigation himself if he chose to.

Well any criminal would certainly want to run their own investigation into themselves.

That's so weird. Of all the hills to die on, why asbestos?

He probably thinks that as all scientific research proving global warming and debunking the "vaccines cause autism" claim is false, scientific research proving the health risks of asbestos is FAKE NEWS designed to hurt the construction industry, as is any scientific research which does not support the universal truth of capitalism.

Exactly. That's the whole reason they announce on the box that they're non-toxic, just so parents won't freak out their kid is gonna die when they chew and swallow a crayon.

Telconi wrote:Yeah but AFAIK nothing harms you if you eat asbestos


I'm skeptical of that. If breathing it in harms you, why wouldn't ingesting it? It doesn't cause cancer through chemical means, but rather physical ones. Basically, why is eating a bunch of cell-popping needles less dangerous than breathing a bunch of them?
