OMG! This is getting scarey

[vlyons]

Trump wants to reclassify radioactive waste as "non-harmful" to cut the costs of its safe disposal. Now ain't that grand? Surely there will be a law suit?

1. What's a little cancer among friends??

Trump is the most ignorant, foolish, unqualified, toxic person to be within a mile of the White House. This character should have been ousted months ago. The GOP must be on the Russian payroll . . . it's the only answer.

[Eyeball_Kid]

22. You got THAT right!

Millions of rubles poured into McConnell's slush fund in 2016. No doubt more is on the way. The entire GOP leadership is awash in rubles. They aren't talking because they're also hanging on the hook.

This is not about ideology or domestic political pressure. It's about raw money and fatal blackmail. Every day that passes in which the GOP is silent is a day that verifies the pivotal importance of RUBLES in this picture.

2. Better yet, reclassify it as a Presidential suppository.

[2naSalit]

3. I think there are some rules or ordinances or something

that prohibits that. He's not king of the world and just because he wants to wave his hand and run his mouth make everything happen, it ain't so.

He's cornered and he knows it, expect him to spew out everything outrageous offense he can think of because we aren't letting up on him. I expect him to not be in office by March. He doesn't have the mental capacity to pull this off. I think that several of his enablers are about to find themselves posing for mug shots in the very near future which, I would hope, should reduce the capacity of the idiot to foist his will on us and have it happen.

[GoCubsGo]

4. Okay. Just as long as it all gets buried on HIS properties. nt

[GemDigger]

37. Well, he has bought a couple of superfund sites.

Maybe he will bury it there.

[D_Master81]

5. Trump hasnt seen a regulation he doesnt want to get rid of

I will admit that I dont know the specifics involved in disposing nuclear waste, but I would imagine we want to be as safe as possible in doing it.

34. Here: recently updated.

6. I can envision more problems if this happens.

It won't just be about disposal of waste. Don't build or buy a house downwind from a nuclear plant.

[vlyons]

21. or down stream

Remember 3 Mile Island? He'll have HUD build low income housing next or on top of it. Cheap land Great place for a public school and park!

36. I've lived within a 10-mile zone of a nuclear power plant.

One day a big envelope arrived in the mail from the utility company in coordination with the NRC and the State, if I recall. It was a placard that, on federal penalty, would have to be displayed in the house upon evacuation in case of nuclear accident. It simply said: I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. I guess it was to take the place of spray paint Xs on homes post-accident search & recovery. One could not take pets upon evacuation to the designated shelter. Kids not at home would be transported to a place of safety, and they'd sort out reunification of families later.

This placard was never to be pitched in the trash and MUST, on penalty, pass to future owners as this was a one-time regulation. There were no instructions to receive another if it somehow was damaged or destroyed accidentally as in "the dog ate my homework." Accordingly we left that federally-protected hunk of cardboard placard and instructions prominently displayed on the workbench in the basement when we moved. Funny though, neither of the buyer/seller real estate agents involved in the transaction ever mentioned being sure to pass that placard on to the next owner and, at that time, even radon testing results were not mandatory upon closing. I've often wondered if that hunk of a printed shirt-box cardboard sign still exists somewhere in the bowels of that residence?????

I did hear that potassium iodide tablets were also dispensed but only within the 3-mile zone some time after moving away. Truth to tell, we were more worried about living near a synthetic oil manufacturing plant and the rail line where every day we could hear the tanker cars being loudly coupled together...KABOOM! not a silent Pooph! if you know what I mean. Authorities noted we'd pick up more daily rads from standing on or near the steps of an old nearby antique stone and brick school than the dangers of being within that 10-mile zone.

7. Two years ago now I was attempting to assure myself we'd all survive this

Now between this idiocy icing the climate change denial cake and his well armed MAGAzombies ready to commit gratuitous acts of violence
All that assurance was only delusion.
It's worse than the greatest paranoid thoughts I had on Nov 7th 2016.

[ancianita]

8. Do law suits happen when a government is shut down and serious DE-regulation begins?

[duforsure]

9. He'll do as putin does

And use it against Americans as a weapon, like he's using his office and position to do now for putin. He'll threaten Democrats with it.

[rpannier]

10. I got the perfect spot to store it

Mar a-lago or whatever the f*** he calls his home away from DC

[watoos]

12. A lot of people spell it wrong,

it's Mar-el-Loco.

[rpannier]

15. Looks right to me now

[gademocrat7]

11. Putin's puppet trying to destroy our country.

[watoos]

13. What better way to destroy it,

than give everyone cancer?

[llmart]

35. Well, that and everyone shooting at one another because of the proliferation of guns.

The NRA and Russia want us to fear one another and have the means to kill those we don't like.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Our choice: A wall now paid for w higher cancer later or no wall ever and lower cancer.

Our choice, to the extent of resistance, agitation, political leverage, and persistence.

[BluesRunTheGame]

16. Bottle it and sell it as an "energy drink" at Mar-a-lago.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

18. He could play glow in the dark golf all night long!

............

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. Next, they'll declare it high in vitamins and minerals.....

and sell it as a warming winter comfort drink..........

I suspect mounting legal costs of defending our nation against tRump's evil will soon exceed the GDP of some small nations!

[George II]

19. He can't do that. There are strict regulations about it's transfer that even he can't override.

[barbtries]

20. this got scary on 08Nov2016

the fear has grown to terror and grave concern for the future of the country and even the planet. between trump, putin and the traitorous republicans, we are going down at lightning speed.

[lark]

23. Bury it in his Tower basement in DC if it's so non-toxic, see who stays with him then.

No, it's only non-toxic when under the land in some state that voted for dems.

[Firestorm49]

24. Dump the stuff at Mara Lago.

[IronLionZion]

25. Store it in his hotels

[Quixote1818]

26. If it's non harmful we can send him some as a present nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. he's still looking for a surgeon general to promote smoking

[spike jones]

28. I seem to remember that mine tailings were reclassified as ordinary fill

to let mining companies dump it into waterways and to bypass the volume restrictions as set in the 1872 mining law which is still enforced. I believe this enabled the “mountain-top removal" mining operations.
Also, the material from industrial chimney filters was reclassified from toxic waste to industrial “by product” and sold as an additive to fertilizer. I have no links but eat organic food as much as possible.

BTW some armor pericing bullets are made of depleted uraiumn and are now causing cancer in our Mideast war zones.

[Pepsidog]

29. Good idea if you dispose of it on his trashy properties.

[Mme. Defarge]

30. Consider his diet.

[Mme. Defarge]

31. Chernobyl Part Deux?

Pourquoi pas?

[calimary]

32. Well, then, the next disposal site should be right outside Mar-a-Lago.

If it’s safe as you say, donald, then there should be no problem, right?

[Cracklin Charlie]

33. Non-harmful, you say, Assface?

Then we can store it in Trump Tower. That place is huge!
