Trump’s support for asbestos has been welcomed in Russia, a primary asbestos supplier to the US. In 2018, a Russian asbestos company began marketing asbestos with Trump’s face and a seal reading “Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States.”
Fuck’s sake.
I mean, it’s been obvious for over a decade. When he came out warning about some obscure country that people should be wary of, and nobody (including him, to be clear) has ever heard of this “threatening” country or faction or whatever, with absolutely zero context or relevance to the US, and just happens to be in the crosshairs of Russia…. Yeah.
I am searching for this crazy-ass irrelevant unscripted tangent he went on, but when I search for “trump russian talking points opposing country”, even tossing “first term” in there, I am inundated with all of the recent talking points he has been making. This wasn’t Ukraine, by the way. I wish I remembered, but I have better things to do than dig through the historic tire fire that is this administration.
Americans love Russia because Russia told them they are fellow conservatives who also hate purple haired gay people. All while regulatory capturing their country and destroying them.
Americans are brain-cooked by 30 years of 24/7 Big News brainrot. the rest of the world has been aware of that since the mid 2000s. and its only multiplied since then.
“What is the absolute dumbest fucking thing we can do this afternoon? I know!”
Remember kids, congress could put a stop to this tonight. And by “this”, I mean the trump presidency. Just think about that for a while.
To be clear here: This is reversing a ban on ONE type of asbestos that’s often used in automotive parts (such as brake pads). They’re not advocating for us to bring it back for things like loose fill insulation, building materials, etc.
Also, to be clear: It’s still stupid and likely a combination of Russia being the largest producer of Asbestos and/or Trump having an obsession with overturning Biden-era rulings.
I swear to god I was reading a comment on lemmy not 2 months ago that was joking about them bringing back asbestos. C’mon, don’t be shy. Which one of you jinxed it?
Russia is the world’s largest producer of asbestos, with an annual production of around 630,000 million metric tons in 2023.
Next up is lead in gasoline.
I recently learned that leaded gas is still used for aviation. Some small planes like Cessnas can be 80 years old and still flying, but do not have engines that are certified to run on leaded gas. So they have leaded.
they also use it at the race track near our houses. up to 20% of the races use leaded fuel. They just tried (again) to ban it but once again the rich white guys get to have their fun at the expense of an entire community.
Same direction, backwards
I guess other countries won’t need to defend themselves against the US in the future because Trump is actively trying to kill off more Americans than any other country could.
send him in
First, do harm.

If you our a loved one has mesothelioma… blame the Trump administration
SCOTUS “we’ve decided that the POTUS cannot be sued for official acts”
